    Kodak Ends Disney Sponsorship

    Hmmm, I am wondering whether they intend to take the photopass technology and go in house with it at some point though, especially given that Kodak are no longer sponsoring etc.

    Roller coaster interaction

    Gavin mentioned the queue interaction of Nemesis and I also think a nod towards the 'pit' area outside of the queue is due. It was only at the beginning of the year that I actually walked down there and realised just how close you can get to the track. It is a brilliant spot for photographs. I...

    Kodak Ends Disney Sponsorship

    It terms of capital no. But normally Attraction sponsorship takes a large chunk of the bill away from Disney. There was always Kodak 'Photo Memory' points which were supposed to help visitors get the best (or most generic) pictures and things like that. I wonder whether they will change. Also...

    Things you hate when people say to you.

    Totally, the other one you get when in a relationship: how do you decide who gives/recieve?

    Things you hate when people say to you.

    See, for me, its about crossing a line. Like, you can tell me all the gay jokes you like or even aim a joke at me and I wouldn't be phased by it, but if it is someone I barely know more than a name on a screen then I would be more likely to be offended. I hate it when people start using jokes...

    Can theming ever be *too* good?

    Hmmm, great topic. I think ultimately, it doesn't matter how good theming is, you are always going to know that it is 'fake' as you are in a theme park, that is what they do after all - that is pretty much 100% unavoidable. If anything, the better the theming, the more I appreciate just hard...

    Keyhole Elements

    I used to love The Vampire for a sort of keyhole element. Right at the end of the ride the reentry into the station tunnel was a lot narrower than it is now. From a distance it never looked big enough to fit through and as the car swung out it always looked as you would slam into the wall. Alas...

    Universal Studios Florida | Transformers ride

    Re: Transformers ride | Universal Studios Florida It looks flipping brilliant and I am happy that it is coming to Florida because it will save me going elsewhere to ride it. So YAY. I do see where Jordan is coming from though. It's one thing having the same ride system in a neighbouring park...

    Seen But Never Been??

    I think that is the only one for me too. Am I bothered? Not in the slightest! I've seen brown signs for parks and not gone. Does that count? :-P

    Alton Towers | The Smiler | Gerstlauer Infinity

    Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1st The issue there would be that Alton could quite possibly spoil it for you... When Th13teen it was all supposed to be a hush hush secret element but even if you did manage to avoid all spoilers of the drop section the element of surprise...

    GhosterForce IX | TP & CWoA | Trip Reports

    My Full Report. I did promise after all... So here goes... (Sorry, I didn't take a camera so you are gonna have to be satisfied with a couple of smilies instead) Our journey started out pretty early this year as we had opted not to travel down the night before. The plan was to not dress up and...

    Thoughts with...

    Saw more reports on the UK news about this just now and it is just unreal. Truly terrifying to me. I Hope all our fellow CFers, their families and friends are all safe and sound.

    Disney purchases Lucasfilm for $4B

    ^You are obsessed with Booster Bikes! It would work far better as a Tron coaster imo :-P Hmmm, I remember hearing years ago that there was always an Episode 7, 8 & 9 penned anyways, it was more a case of Lucas himself saying that it was highly unlikely he would direct them. It could expand the...

    GhosterForce IX | TP & CWoA | Trip Reports

    ^Some great highlights Jordan :-). I promised myself that I would write a proper report for this year and I fully intend to. I am blatantly far too tired to take a crack at it now but I will have some time at work tommorow so yay. Thanks to everyone for once again, making it a pleasure to be...

    Wild Mouse at Blackpool Removal?

    ^What like another fountain Lofty?? I think that is the point. Given the past trend at PBB of closing things but just leaving them sitting there, this is not great news because it will just sit there and the chances of getting something new and better are very slim. Personally, I would be a...
