Choose thy fate... Gardaland 2008
dr.gumbo replied to BDG's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^^ I hope that wasnt always like that... I not sure about the lack of theming Gardaland produces, after looking at some of the rides on here Rides.nl They look pretty sweet -
Photo TR : Alton Towers Adrenaline Opening Week
dr.gumbo replied to scottjenkins's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
^^ The problem for me is that on school days I have to go to school (duh!), thats why when I do go to a theme park (twice a year (not often, but I have three brothers, each with different interests)) it is usually about a few weeks before they close for winter, theres never anyone there (when I went to LWV, we nearly had the whole park to ourselves, apart from a group of scouts and a few people here and there.) Once again, thanks for the update -

dr.gumbo replied to crazydaveh's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Despite how much I love the simpsons, I would hate to see a ride, It just doesnt 'feel' right Thanks for the photos on its last day -
I wish we got that Disney land (stupid paris) But at least we've got the olympics in 2012 instead of paris

^^Its sad to say but thats so true Tussauds used to make fantastic rides (nemesis for example) but what they do now is really poor (Rita, Desert race (the names say it all)) Onto topic (I've got to stop ranting about England), the flying dutchmen looks fantastic, If MM was themed like this (Which I reallly hope it is) and has good forces it will definatly be among the best rides there is BTW I wish the music worked for me

^^ Well, everyone has different opinions but I think Kumbak did a fine job on this ride, not fantastic but it is there first coaster. Also, Kumbak offered a more traditional coaster look and a predrop which other companys didnt (Mack) and in my opinion, a mack would look hideous with this track design. As a note, I really hope Mystery mine has a darkride section like this or better! -

^Take you dont like the north of England but we dont have many coasters either, I live in Newcastle which is the most northen city and the closest coaster worth going on is 100 miles or so away (Flamingo land and LWV) Besides, Its the middle of England that has everything Enought of my ranting and onto the topic, theyre making really good progress with this ride, especially with that insident a few weeks ago. Most parks will have delayed it for at least a month if that happened! -

Heide Park Discussion Thread
dr.gumbo replied to Sebbe's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
That looks horrible with that helicopter there as you said! Im really disappointed with this ride, at first I thought It would like the Italian job with effects and an unique layout but all I see now is a near- Rita clone with common theming! BTW those trains look differnt than Intamins usual trains of this type or am I losing it! EDIT:Thanks for the photos, I was so busy hating this ride I forgot Damn that ride -
