  1. It was February 23rd 2019 and it was my Half-term weekend with my dad and we all went up to Westminster to visit the scared-silliest place on earth, The London Dungeon; but we didn't go there first as we walked around in London for a bit before going in the dark-age attraction; we stopped for Pret (don't kill me please) at Waterloo Station. Then after a quick hot choccy we was then on our way to the dungeons. We went into the dungeons and went through the dark-age shows; I have my own itty-bitty-living-humour as I took Veruca,Amy,Vada,Abi,Hallie,Annie and Hope, we all screamed our way through infested rat-villages, flaming London, we got a visit from Marge's pie shop "hmmmm", "mmmm... unexplained pie.", "I DON'T WANT TO BE A PIE!, I DON'T LIKE GRAVY." My favourite room has to be Sweeney Todd, the audio sync wasn't working properly, but the rest was ok, I liked it when the barber seats jerk forward just as he's about to strike you in the end. The rest was awesome must admit the admission can be a bit pricey to get in but the soundtrack outside is EPIC. "DUMDUMDUMDUM-DADADADADA" - Midnight Syndicate's Dungeons & Dragons Time to do some pros and cons. Pros: -it was new -a true unique experience -a dungeon opposite London Eye -music,soundtrack and effects were brill! -good scares from the actors and talk-guides (the girl turned me on in the Jack The Ripper show) Cons: -Didn't do the boat ride -got sprayed when walking towards the Plague House "Morning evil, SPLASH SFX" not sure what that lady is saying but that's where she throws the bucket over you. -audio-sync problems in Sweeney Todd Barbershop room And that's mostly about it for my review about it, let me know what you think of this Merlin dark attraction, did you enjoy it, did you have similar problems, etc. Picz: https://photos.google.com/search/london%20dungeon/photo/AF1QipP9enobhtpscrmnL8uGtZaHjGNnsbIWWM4NfH40 Scary right innit? https://photos.google.com/search/london%20dungeon/photo/AF1QipNQzC1xeOFXSxpIx67vRqmtPUB7dylG0B3VhZRe I like the photo cover don't you? https://photos.google.com/search/london%20dungeon/photo/AF1QipPPHOtSE0zv4c3PrIxDjYpgUa0tTk8R0lFKBqWG The exterior to the dungeons, x-scuze me people don't mind me.
  2. I started playing this last year in April I got addicted to it and really enjoy playing my kingdom, it's been a year. The time when McDonalds came back to plot their revenge in DMK, during the Alice event.
  3. Ok guys its me again; with my brand trip review. Adventure Island in 2007. Its a bright and sunny day today, a perfect start to be in Southend. Some great shots of Rage in 2007. Now everyone knows that this was formaly the old log flume "Raging River" before this yellow dude came; now its the year of 2007 and Rage's opened for its season. So here's where we started our journey. "OMG its Ripleys believe it or not at Southend! Oh wait its only the crooked house." Then again from its original viewing. So anyway yea me and my friend Greg went on this first thing, then afterwards we headed for the Goldmine. After Goldmine we headed for the other rides in the park The Barnstormer is working hard on thrilling loads of happy families. Then we all came across this family-loving ride. The Big Wheel, looks kinda fun dosen't it. Ahoy ye' Southenders if someone's lost on the longest pier, contact Peter... Peter Pan "get it, because of Peter Pan's Island". Anyway gettinng back to the review, after some of the rides we then headed to the other side of the park. My friends Sandra and Natalie went on the Dragon's Claw; however Sandra felt sick afterwards on the ride. We had a break during this point so we exited the park from where we came from and got some food. Thats a pic of what the park looks like from exiting the west side. "Oh I do like to be on the seaside..." *deep inhale* mmm.... I can smell the fish and fresh donuts at the food kiosks. Ah good old Southend is just the place to be the "sea". So anyway after a sunny and beautiful walk in Southend we then headed back to the Adventure Island park and did more rides. First off Green Scream. After that; that sick turtle thing called Archelon. "Clean up in 3-2-1... ah crap! nice!" "I feel very sick now, some one pass me a bucket." Here's the real image; those images were just crazy edits over on Picasa. I just used the colour to make as if he's been sick and green. and here's another shot of the Archelon chairs you sit in from an offride viewing. The major rides of the East Side. Anyway we went on Rage after that as before; i will show you them again. IMG]http://i464.photobucket.com/albums/rr9/Blackhole1988/Adventure%20Island/RagetheEurofighter.jpg[/img] "Super Heroes Only!" So anyway after the fearsome Rage we went over to Beelzee Bob's Trail; the cartoon-styled ghost train where it makes little kids laugh rather than terrified. *fffarp* "If you have any problems with this ride call 666 and a devil will host the phone." "Oh great tourist guides, maybe they'll help me with the tour." "Are we like in Disneyland??? or Disneyworld? coz devils are meanies and there's loads of them on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride." As we ventured through the exterior of Beelzee Bob's Trail we then headed for the station. *Neenennene--nnnnee--nenenenene* (My impression of the Beelzee Bob's Trail ride music.) At last the train has come to pick us up and take us round the ride. "Or is it a point of no return?" another shot of the ride load and station. "Come along now... your carriage awaits. Well hello im Beelzee Bob why don't you join me people on my trail, you will meet some of closest fiends who work will work here." So anyway thats mostly Beelzee Bob's trail photos. Ontowards the next set, I think thats mostly everything and ride I did guys; hope you enjoyed my trip to Southend and Adventure Island in 2007. The last of the rides was Tidal Wave; Greg went down this and I watched. He also went on Archelon too. So then again with another view of the image of the upside down dinghy. "I want one of those, that could fit in my bedroom", not the ride but the Tidal Wave dinghy you sit in. But not like that though. A proper blown-up inflatable dinghy you get when you visit one of the Southend gift shops. Speaking of Southend, our journey has ended here in Adventure Island and its time for us to go home. And that is my trip review or report on Adventure Island in 2007.
  4. Hey guys its me again; your best Theme Parker, Michael here. I am yet at the Magic Kingdom this time, where everything is the land of hope and happiness. So lets get cracking and going. "Welcome aboard the Monorail, if your departing to the Magic Kingdom. Please wait until the train comes to a complete stop." "If your going to Epcot please stay seated at all times, and remember not to smoke at all times thank you." Were in Main Street USA the place where we begin our journey. If you bare with me I am apparently queueing for the Magical Railroad of the WDW Railroad. Our first stop is Frontierland where Big Thunder Mountain thunders down the rocks and perilous shafts. "So this is why its called Frontierland... because Splash Mountain's residents are all crittering about the riders." "we will get wet! VERY VERY WET!, and I MEAN IT... DRENCHED!" "well Michael get your poncho on; you are going to get wet... me!" "Splash Mountain is yet the wetest ride at Disneyworld. I wonder if its even wetter at Disneyland???" "Get ye' hoof on ye' varmin goldrusher. You know your a 49yr old codger. NOT REALLY I was 14 when I visited to Disneyworld." "If Runaway Mine Train at Alton and Chessy were the best, doesn't mean that Disney has their ones." "mark my words, that varmin' Brer Rabbit will make an arse of himself if he falls into those traps." "the ride load is burried underneath the mountain somewhere. God this really is a complicating ride to draw over on paint." After Splash Mountain and Thunder Mountain. We headed to Tom Sawyer's Island. "If anyone's running from the police, then this is the place to hide, if your looking for a hiding place." "DO NOT TOUCH, especially little monkeys like Abu in Aladdin". After Tom Saywer we headed for the Haunted Mansion in Liberty Square. "once inside this attraction there is no way out."
  5. Well here are again in the alton towers theme park. Again, this time i have more shots to tell you. Our first tour begins in the Towers Street plaza and car parks, where the monorails are kept. Here we are folks, once again in alton towers. It took us 4hrs to get here as usual. http://i464.photobucket.com/albums/rr9/Blackhole1988/Alton%20Towers%202006/th_TheHotels.jpg[/img][/url] "hey look isn't that Gloomy Wood's Haunted House; its a very fine detail you got there Alton..." Anyway back to the report, we headed to our first attractions, Squirrel Nutty and Spinball. "Look at this, alton towers entered a sandcastle competition, that is so NEAT." So anyway we headed towards the Squirell Nutty Ride. "a green tent is sure big enough for magic shows; its even big enough for Dumbo to fit in." "Old McDonald had a farm-- and it was in Alton Towers." "Look no people, the car must be haunted by a ghost. Or maybe its a ghost car." "that windmill is berry-licious." http://i464.photobucket.com/albums/rr9/Blackhole1988/Alton%20Towers%202006/th_TheWindmill.jpg[/img][/url] At the end of the Squirell Nutty ride we came to our next attraction, yep its the whacky, spinning, whirly ride. http://i464.photobucket.com/albums/rr9/Blackhole1988/Alton%20Towers%202006/th_Spinballcar.jpg[/img][/url] "Nearly there Michael, Natalie and Francesca, just a few more paces and were there." After Spinball we headed down towards X-Sector where Oblivion crashes its victims down its hole. *I don't have any shots of Oblivion in 2006, but i have a few in 2005; but that'll have to take me some time to upload on Facebook, photobucket, etc.* Anyway we went on Oblivion, after that we exited the ride and i got a neat ride photo of my first ride on Oblivion. Not just that even my third ride photo on Spinball Whizzer. As we walked we passed the sadly demolished Black Hole ride, the only remains is the huge tent, dome or whatever you call it. "Yep thats Spinball Whizzer btw; just before it was renamed to the sonic ride in 2010". "Oh Alton you came and you saw me... and your magic has bought me to life, oh Alton..." Yes Alton Towers has been here for me since the 1980's and its not just for me; its shared for everyone on this planet. Oh I forgot about that Black Hole image or pics didn't I? Oh well here they are anyway. "Goodbye Black Hole, we Theme Parkers will miss your blackness and your shiny trains and 80's styled music". After that we all headed for Hex- Legend Of The Towers. That was nearby. "HOLY CRAP A TIME MACHINE WERE GOING BACK IN TIME, I gotta warn everyone about Hitler and the WWII." After Hex we then headed to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. "I have a golden ticket... i have a golden ticket-- i have a chance to make my day." "Toyland Tours got revamped into this!?!" "I bet Mr. Wonka's really busy making that whats-it-called, where that gum kid gets OWNED." "hey a boat... wait for me i wanna ride with you." After a slight trip round Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, my friend Greg went on the new Driving School attraction. That ride rethemed the old vintage cars. Greg infront of the Driving School ride in Cred Street. "Im too old to ride the vintage cars at Alton now." http://i464.photobucket.com/albums/rr9/Blackhole1988/Alton%20Towers%202006/NEWPeugot207Drivingschool-1.jpg[/img] "They say that i would have to be a hippo to fit in these little babes." "Driving School licence award" And so yet again continuation with our next few attractions. We continued through Merrie England to Forbidden Valley. In Merrie England we headed towards the soapy flume ride "Does this mean that Bubbleworks has to come to Alton Towers?" "A soapy attitude, this hasn't got to do with EastEnders." "Were nearly there now... wait--QUACK!" On the Flume were always greeted by those ducks who seem a little "quackish". After our ride on The Flume and getting obviously drenched we then headed to another wet ride, you guessed it. Congo River Rapids. "Ah good old rapids, they seem a little yellow, rather than red and black these days." "Where's my rubber ducky *squeak-squeak*, my mama always said better get clean Michael. You want the girls chasin' you." So after the Flume we headed down to Katanga Canyon to get some brunch and I mean food. Yet after food we flushed on the Congo River Rapids. http://i464.photobucket.com/albums/rr9/Blackhole1988/Alton%20Towers%202006/Theriverrapids-1.jpg[/img]http://i464.photobucket.com/albums/rr9/Blackhole1988/Alton%20Towers%202006/th_CongoRiverrapids.jpg[/img] "Yellow is the only colour that makes Homer Simpson say Doh!" Anyway after the rapids we headed for Duel. While we was approaching; anyone remember that faithul accident of the Runaway Mine Train? I have photos to show you, you don't wanna miss these next images. "The Runaway Mine Train's closed... I guess they call it The Run-away Mine Train." So anyway we headed to Duel in Gloomy Wood. Greg was a little scared to ride Duel when we were there; so me, Natalie and Francesca went on. "This house is sorely haunted by ghosts and ghouls... and even ZOMBIES." "hello... anybody home? Ghostbusters HQ." So we all know what happens on Duel, basicaly its the fomer Haunted House ride that was installed in 2003. Packed with zombies, laser guns and targets to shoot at. This is the inside of Duel in the load area. "The vehicles have 5 rows of seats with 3 people in the front and 2 in the back..."- Duel loading info "Prepare to Duel." "WHO ARE YOU GONNA CALL... GHOSTBUSTERS!" Eventually they did play that music while we were queueing for our ride on Duel. After Duel we then headed for Forbidden Valley to ride Air; yet still we had food though. Meanwhile Natalie and Francesca decided to ride Nemesis; so they took Kevin on the ride. Kevin just finished his bucket of KFC; NOT COOL before riding Nemmy. "things that make you go... bleeeugh!" "Sit back Kev! its fright time!" [url=http://s464.photobucket.com/albums/rr9/Blackhole1988/Alton%20Towers%202006/?action=view&current=Nemesisgointhroughtheloop.jpg "wrong ride to go on. Especially when you have just eaten a KFC." "Well at least its not bad, just a few... more... twists and turns." "this is a bad idea for Kevin to ride, Nemesis is like the big daddy of all the rides. I hope were don't go too far." "if you've seen an escaped animal, please contact the Alton Towers authority and you will be rewarded for a luxry 2-day pass to Alton Towers and the Alton Towers Hotels." "too late were in the station. If anyone has a problem with motion sickness; turn back and head for another slow-moving ride." After Nemesis we headed for Air; Alton's fast, smoothest rollercoaster. Kevin came off the ride sick and pale. Me and Greg just stayed off and watched. So we all headed for Air in the end and queued up for that, the track and layout was awsome. I never rode Air; so this was my first ride also in 2006. The only rollercoasters I went on was Air and Oblivion for this year. But I enjoyed them though. I had some really cool ride photos also, but sadly our time had come in the end; after Air we headed back to Towers Street and that was it for Alton Towers for 2006. We had a great day there. Here are the last photos of the day at Alton Towers. A great shot of the loop on Nemesis, before the train comes over it. Air looks really nice in the sunshine. "Were walking on sunshine, oh woa, woa, woa.. and the sun hits Alton Towers." Now were in Towers Street, getting some sweets. To eat on the way home, mmm... Well thats about it for Alton Towers in 2006, join me again next time; and who knows who I will bring with me for my next trip. Thanks for reading my TPR PR of Alton Towers in 2006.
  6. Ok so I need to save my game, thanks. I know what to do btw... i should of saved it.
  7. My favourite darkride or darkrides for me would be *The Black Hole- AT *Haunted House- AT *Haunted Mansion- MK *Duel- AT *Toyland Tours- AT *Revenge Of The Mummy- US, FL *ET- The Ride- US, FL and so on... I have loads of darkride favs.
  8. Whats your favourite darkride in Theme Parks? i'll start off with a list of my darkrides *Bubbleworks- Chessington *Tomb Blaster- Chessington *Duel- Alton Towers *Charlie and the Chocolate Factory- Alton Towers *Toyland Tours- Alton Towers *Hex- Alton Towers *The Haunted House- Alton Towers *The Haunted Mansion- MK *Its a Small World- MK *Beelzee Bob's Trail- AI *Over the Hill- AI *Revenge Of The Mummy- US, FL *ET- US, FL *Black Hole- Alton Towers *Back To The Future- US, FL *Pirates Of The Caribbean- MK *The Tiki Room- MK thats mostly my darkride list in the parks so far. I'll come across a few more if I remember them.
  9. Did anyone get scared of the Haunted House before it became Duel at Alton Towers? I was scared of the attraction; i tried to go inside but the ghost host inside scared me. When i was 8 or 9 I got scared and hid all the way through the ride, I hid under my dad's arms.
  10. If I can't recreate the Alton Towers theme park, I can build my own recreational park. I call it "Pokemon Theme Park" I used some of the creations and ideas from Alton Towers and some of my created rides and darkrides for Pokemon Theme Park. My latest darkride is Michael Boyd Adventures; a darkride based on myself and my travels. Over on RCT3 I used the Alton Towers' Haunted House music to go with the style. I made a Duel themed ride called Ghoul Panic, where you shoot the ghosts and ghouls. Anyway its not just RCT2 i have built this on, I have created it on RCT3 also. So anyway what do you think of my designs and rides?
  11. I was playing RCT1 yesterday, doing my best on Dynamite Dunes. I was on year 2 and I had £13,000 and loads of people. I just finished my newest ride which was go-kart track and then i was bugged by this error message. Does anyone else gets that? I sadly lost my game and had to start over. If i saved it would of been ok; but sadly when it loads up my saved games don't come up.
  12. These are great, i love the photos and videos. At first it reminds me of those pretzel rides. Where bouts in California is this Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk? anyway keep up with nice ride pics and peroids.
  13. Hello again its me ATN, i am going to tell you and show you my photos of the day i was in spain visiting my auntie pauline, and the time that i went to Terra Mitica. here goes the review. We got there at Terra Mitica station, and it was hot in spain. We had to take a long walk all the way up to the Theme Park. well here we are in the entrance to Terra Mitica. It was a really good Theme Park to visit, anybody been here? We headed for a boat ride, my best friend was insulted by another person, who spoke german. It was kinda funny but annoying though... anyway our first attraction was the falls of the nile, a log flume that has a few drops. one of my friends has a problem of getting wet so she stayed off the ride, so me and dad went on. After that we then headed towards the Minotaur's Labyrinth. this almost looked like a cross-over between Duel, because it was a ride that had guns and you had to shoot the targets. I took a ride on it and videoed it. After when we rode it when then went on Triton's Fury. these people are seemingly enjoying themselves. this is what the boats look like when their empty and before riding. Now we must be going on some other great rides. your thinking... hey altontowersnerd did you go on these rides when you went to Terra Mitica... the only rides i went on was: Inferno, Magnus Colossus, The Minotaur's Labyrinth, Falls of the Nile, Triton's Fury, Rapids and The Pheonix. I saw this ride that looked really familar??? hmmmm..... could this be a familar relative to Alton Towers' Boneshaker? This was the Magnus Colossus ride... this was a really bumpy ride, it was a wooden rollercoaster and it nearly felt as if were going to crash and go all over the place. And the concludes my photo TR on Terra Mitcia Benidorm.
  14. Ok its my turn to show you my photos and reviews of the rides of Alton Towers. It was a beautiful day and we just got to the park, were just heading for our first attraction. it seems that air is new to the park. Before i Visited Alton Towers I only saw nemesis. Were now at the admissions, and were getting excited to ride some rides. we then approached our first area, X-Sector, where Black Hole, Oblivion and all those other thrillrides are. Here's a couple of shots of Oblivion. nice to see a modern busy X-Sector, I remember riding Black Hole, that was my first ever ride at Alton Towers. I'll show you the Black Hole again just to remember what it was like. And you know what i'm talking about.... This is my girlfriend Vicky standing infront of Oblivion. ok now we must be heading to Cred Street, where my favourite rides were. here is a lovely vintage shot of the vintage cars before the pegeout 207 took over in 2006. This ride was iconic to me, Toyland Tours... this was the best ride i loved i went on this a couple of times over the years... well from 2001-2005 (which is the day when the ride ended) and was then converted into charlie and the chocolate factory: The Ride also in 2006. i remember the busty hippo at the end and the bouncy castles that bounced up and down. ok now we must be heading towards Forbidden Valley... but in the meantime let us ride on the fantastical skyride. am I missing another ride/attraction in Cred Street??? http://i464.photobucket.com/albums/rr9/Blackhole1988/Alton%20Towers%202002/FrogHopper.jpg' alt='FrogHopper.jpg'> yes probably frog hopper was a good ride for youngsters. nice to see the old swan boats while riding the skyride. were now having a stroll in Merrie England, lets have a look at the 3D Cinema and see what thats like??? anyway lets head towards Katanga Canyon. the Runaway Mine Train looks empty. now we must be heading towards to Gloomy Wood now... The Haunted House looks a little busy today. in this photo you can see my mum Tricia and my step-dad Chris walking into the house. This ride used to scare me before Duel came. Now we must head towards Forbidden Valley where Nemesis resides its victims. Ripsaw's entrance New for 2002 is Air, a flying rollercoaster that has a lot of twists and turns. Ok its back to Ripsaw.... this ride can't be missed! especially this part of the ride, with all the jets of water spraying in your hair. and finally to rap the 2002 park photos Nemesis and Forbidden Valley! and thats my review of Alton Towers in 2002.
