    Peep finally visits Orlando Sep 2012 PTR

    ^ Oh, I didn't realise it was supposed to be a 'descent' into the Twilight zone. I just assumed it was the 'journey' into that realm. The main reason i assumed it was because as you get to the end of the corridor and the door opens its says something along the lines of 'you are now entering the...

    Fantastic old coaster footage/pics

    I always forget to dip into this topic but I am glad I chose today to do so. Obviously a part of my job includes the Kursaal in Southend. I still kinda love the fact that our flat is sat right above where the foundations for one of the smaller wooden coasters would have been. I wish the...

    Willy Wonka vs. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

    Re: I don't think a person having read the book makes the opinion matter any more, but you also have to appreciate that for those that have read it, it is nearly always going to be their frame of reference. If they have read the book how can they not take it into account in some way or other...

    My Orlando trip report: Part 8

    Re: My Orlando trip report: Part 3 Epcot has always been a rather love hate place for me. I can never truely decide how I feel about it. I had always found it rather dated and a bit dull but there is something kinda cool about it too. The weird thing is, with the World Showcase, on all but our...

    Peep finally visits Orlando Sep 2012 PTR

    See I understand your disliking the corridor section of ToT, although I have always felt it helps built the tension before the drop section. Ironically, the reason I rank the Paris version lower is also because of a corridor. That corridor that you have to cross to board that is blatantly the...

    ^indeed we shall. Although to be fair, he has had at least one of those at McLaren too. I really hope he does well and everything, I just don't see it myself.

    England | Chessington WOA | Hotel Extension

    Re: Chessington-Hotel Extension 2013-2014? There really are some flipping brilliant play areas in Europe I agree. I daresay that parks are terrified of having anything like them due to Health & Safety. Tis a shame.

    Coaster Crazy (iOS game)

    W.T.A.F! Talk about taking it back 20 years. You are spot on peep, its totally the original Bullfrog Theme Park. Bloody awful thing that game was and then they insulted us further with Theme Park World... So, erm, Mr Frontier guy, can you drop wasting time on this crap and go develop RCT4 and...

    But what is it..?

    Guisarme isn't it? Sorry, I know you wanted to test the yanks 'renaissance' (LOL) knowledge but I couldn't help having an educated (possibly poorly) guess. I am pretty sure we have one lingering around the stores at work.

    Best Maurer Sohne Xtended Spinner

    Hmmmm. Tough one for me. I hate Whirlwind. I haven't ridden it in quite a few years but I distinctly remember it hurting and eing nastily rough. They could have improved it since then though. I actually really like Sonic Spinball. It is a well paced and fun ride. I would say my best memory of...
