Think of the amount of Goon points on the roller coaster float! :P I've found a video of what it was like to holiday in Southend in the 1960s, with brief shots of the Kursaal, Peter Pan's (including Wendy Glide, which I've never seen a picture of before), the old pier head before it all burnt...

Re: 2013 Internet Wooden Roller Coaster Poll (Mitch Hawker's As much as I dislike the people in question, I'm glad Voyage didn't make it higher in the list. When I rode it in 2010, it had one original train and one of Raven's trains on it. If it wasn't for Raven's train, the thing would...

I bought a couple of shirts from Disney World and one from HK Disney (which annoyingly doesn't really fit properly), but they're not obviously theme park related. Otherwise, I don't really bother with souvenirs.

I've said it for years, but they should just close the park for half a season or so and get their **** together. I can't really think of anything in the park that isn't damaged, broken or falling apart. :?

"You visit Alton Towers on a Gypsy Weekend, and end up getting into fights with many people. Go to jail. Go directly to jail. Do not go back to work. Do not collect your wages." "Take a trip to the Forbidden Valley Skyride station – If you pass Nemesis, ride it." "You visit Sea World in...

Re: Alton Towers | Farmyard Retheme to But, if it's not an IP, what theme would they use? It's always either farm or medieval fantasy (castles, wizards, horses, etc), so where's the imagination in that? Otherwise, the majority of kids areas are themed to TV shows or games anyway. Camp...

Unless I'm wearing sandals, I try to avoid water rides all together. The feeling of walking around in wet socks all day is horrible.

Cheers, I could really have done with gaining a bit of luck, not getting a year of none of it! :P

Re: 2013 Internet Wooden Roller Coaster Poll (Mitch Hawker's Over the years (like I'm 80 or something), a lot of these coasters have all blurred into one for me. My top ten for this year (previous year in brackets, out of 71): Boulder Dash, Lake Compounce, 1 (1) Phoenix...

With the tradition of Christmas, I've got a bunch of clothes which don't really fit properly. Also: Some chocolates, a little bit of money (about £100) and a Pointless board game. My mum was definitely the spilt one this year, getting an iPad mini and a holiday. Now for the yearly reading of...

The article Marc was referring to (or, at least, I presume it's the same one) can be found here: http://seaworld.com/en/ourcare/Letter?u ... tter%22%7D

I know my home park is Peter Pan's because it's the park I've got the earliest memories of, used to visit several times a year (my mum's side of the family are all from Southend... explains a lot really), and is by far the closest proper amusement park to my house.

Re: Pleasurewood Hills - 'New' Mouse Coaster for 2014 Can't wait! :D

To be fair, I'd also want to walk off the end of the pier if I had to go back to Luna Park.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but... "Walibi Belgium had an increase in profit and number of visitors past season" and "Walibi Belgium will start to invest in several brand new rides" Surely these are good things for the park? Plus, don't most parks employ seasonally, and tend to have a...

I enjoyed the conversations, but I'm really in no rush to day trip in London in the winter ever again! :P

Winter Wonderland was complete crap, but at least it had 6 creds. I almost got run over as the group was surging on ahead, so I made a quick dash across a road whilst apparently looking the wrong way. The chocolate "festival" was the ponciest piece of rubbish I've ever seen. I managed to get...

They remind me of last year's CF Christmas decorations... Is there actually any difference? :P

Some pizza restaurant in Las Vegas was supposed to have a cred still in operation according to RCDB, but when we drove past it was just a derelict building. Never for an actual theme park though.

I copied and pasted from Wikipedia, so it's probably not true. Meh. :P
