I have to admit, where the harness snapped is exactly where I push to check the harness is locked properly :oops: Its my OCD I cant help it :-) check it once then check it again. I dont go mad on it but do give it a bit of a push. It’s the only place on this type of harness you can push...

Not a great fan of the idea, if you’re paying for a ticket which gets you in a theme park between certain times you wouldn’t expect some of you favourite rides to be closed. I just don’t think any park in the UK can get away with it, the parks are not open long enough. I can understand parks...

We found Blue Tornado at Gardaland quite rough. Whilst it wasnt too bad pointing the right way up every time it went through an inversion it jolted causing your head to bang. Didnt think to look at the time but assume this was caused by wheels not staying on the track at all times. Also the big...

Re: Thorpe Park Hotel (sort of!) I like the look of the rooms! But it would have to be dirt cheap and we all know it wont be. Although theres not much in the area as competition. All the hotels with a few miles average about £80 a night so if it was less than that and a few perks thrown in then...

Re: Cedar Point | "Gatekeeper" | B&M Wingrider *UPDATE PAGE This one’s going to cost me! Because now I’m going to HAVE to go :--D Cedar Point has been on my list for ages. This one looks great, I like the fact it leaves the main territory of the park into the car park and across the...

^Plus Oblivion design and development probably started way back in 1996 so at the time the coaster was something extreme! The thought "shall we put a loop and extended the track" probably didn’t even cross their minds as they thought back in 1996 that it was extreme enough as it is! I agree...

We have got bored of Alton Towers and tired some of the price increases of everything, entrance, fast pass and parking. You can’t help but compare Alton to other parks in Europe and in my opinion it’s starting to lack value for money. A day trip in Alton consists of miles of walking to and from...

Thanks!

Im sure I have seen somewhere that as a annual pass holder I can get discounted tickets for friends and family. Does anyone know where this info can be found? How much are the discounted tickets? Thanks!

I thought it was themed rather well, there’s not much in the UK you can compare it to in terms of theming. Yes the theming was a little perfectly placed and the block paving reminded me of a new shopping centre that’s opened near me, but overall the area felt like it was in another park. I was...

The Swarm is actually about 17 feet longer than Raptor, I do remember thinking Raptor was short after being on it but not dissapointed! :-) Only airtime we got on Raptor was if you sat right at the back and at the first drop

Love the sound it makes! Is a little slow but thats ok, its all about the theme, near misses and big sweeping inversions. I do however wish it was longer, Thorpe does have the best rides but there all quite short and it would have been nice to have it a bit longer!

Re: €250m expansion for Walt Disney Studios Park, Paris They removed the grand finale too, where the car makes the jump into the tunnel and then a big explosion. At the end now not much but a fire ball happens. We dont bother with it any more, they need to change the script.

Im not fat, but soft ;-) and as said above there not comfortable. You dont notice it as much when going around but when your sitting there waiting, clamped in your seat, its not nice. Its the straps that go over your shoulders, there the ones that get tighter. Its your collar bone that takes the...

Re: €250m expansion for Walt Disney Studios Park, Paris €250m! Are they knocking the Studios down and starting again? :-) I remember when we went to Studios when they first opened... lol There wasnt much to do and it hasnt really changed much now. It does feel like it was thrown together in a...

^That long :-) Only thing im not keen on is the harness. Others have found it fine but we found Raptors harness too tight and uncomfortable. It pins you down too much, you start of ok at the start but as the trains coming into the station you cant wait to get out as they have got so tight...

Re: Duinrell |"Unknown"| Gerstlauer family coaster We got a 2012 brochure through from Duinrell and it was splashed all over the front page. You would have thought it would be on the website thought as you only get the brochure if you have stayed there before.

:?: cant see anything either! I would imagine this would be broadcasted straight away on the developers diary?

That does look good, looking forward to seeing it finished! Just planning which day to book off work and go next year! :-)

They did get tight on Raptor! Started off fine but got tighter and tighter as you went round. I hope they have a re-think, it turns a big smooth B&M uncomfortable.
