    2012 Attendance report

    There was a paragraph in the analysis that has just caught my eye I find that quite interesting. It's something that has been evolving in the UK over the last few years, but I never looked at it as an alternative to Summer crowds. I always assumed that, Halloween in particular, was just down...

    2012 Attendance report

    Bit more analysis and guff in the CF News Article I still can't get over how DCA managed to pull off a 22.6% increase! Just goes to show a) how big a success Cars Land and the other improvements have been, and b) how crap it must've been before! haha

    Hayling Island Funland

    The drop tower is vile. The brakes slam on with such force that you'd be just as well off crashing into the concrete below. First time I went I also managed to impale my leg on the inconveniently placed lump of sharp edged metal that attaches the seatbelt to the seat. The park isn't that bad...

    Rank Your Cedar Fair Parks

    That's easy as I've only been to Knott's Berry Farm. That's right at the bottom of my list.

    Alton Towers | The Smiler | Gerstlauer Infinity

    Re: Alton Towers | The Smiler | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1 Hahahaha, I love the idea that Tesco's statisticians are sat there scratching their heads "There's been a 1000% increase in sales of bratwurst in Uttoxeter since the start of 2011. Perhaps we should consider adding a German selection...

    Which Ride continually gives you the Biggest Adrenaline Rush

    Re: Which Ride continually gives you the Biggest Adrenaline OK, so I've only ridden it twice (meaning it's probably outside the scope of this topic) but X/X2 is by far the biggest rush I've ever had from any coaster. Ones that consistently have me jumping for joy are Stealth, Nemesis and...

    Re: Alton Towers | The Smiler | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1 Sorry, when did the definition of "forever" become "2 and a bit years"?

    When Chrome offers you Dutch Wikipedia instead of the English version as you've spent so much time researching the Efteling park guide

    "Now Showing"

    Ploddish made it his personal mission to introduce me to the world of Ghibli whilst staying at his last week. My Neighbour Totoro (English dub) OMG, I adore it! Yes, nothing much happens, but does that really matter? It's beautiful and quirky and cute. It's also just the right amount of weird...

    Seaworld, Orlando | Empire of the Penguin

    Fairly interesting article that reveals a few more details about the ride. For example, it apparently all centers around "an animated gentoo penguin named Puck". Yeah. The article goes on to discuss a recent change of direction for Orland's attractions, and what impact this ride may have upon...

    Photos from abandoned theme parks

    This isn't abandoned, in the sense that there's plenty of people around, but you could hardly describe it as operational. As I can't think of anywhere better to shove it, its going here anyway! http://en.rocketnews24.com/2013/05/19/w ... sleepiest/

    SimCity Amusement Park Pack revealed

    The announcement was leaked late last week when a digital shop accidentally added it to their virtual shelves too early. EA were quick to confirm the pack, announcing a release date of 28th May. This video looks at the leaked info from the pov of a hardcore SimCity player...

    "Now Showing"

    Watched Rise of the Guardians yesterday on a mate's fancy 3D telly. I was expecting it to be dreadful, but its actually not bad. For the first time ever, I actually quite liked the 3D, and felt like it did add some interest to the film. The plot was utterly predictable, but then, what do you...
