One word: VISTA, unfortunately I have Windowes Vista and it doesn't seem to want to show any custom scenery...or Billboards for that matter! It's really irritating and something Atari don't seem to care about! ____________________ SEASON 12 Goodbye...I can't see anyone missing you... Behind the scenes the engineers check for one last time that the electricty has been disbled before demolition RIP Show Building! NEXT SEASON Two new rides! -

Probably not....but who's really going to moan? __________________ Season 11 The concert Hall never has any customers. Its creepy. People just don't want to see any of the bands. So far they've had McFly and Justin Timberlake and it still wasn't very full. I've heard rumours of a new ride here...But I wouldn't like to comment An Overview from GoogleMaps...nobody's everseen this before Here's the new entrance with fountains and gardens... In the corner there's the new restraunt and new upmarket gift shop...I don't like the new gifts personally but I think it looks okay as a building The new KFC...yes I think it's small as well There have been floating around the internet and apparently have been made by the park. I myself seriously doubt it...the park neveruses stars on it's work....but I'd love a waterpark! More soon...COMMENTS -

Cheers, I'm going to put another update on tonight (You lucky bunch! ) but I fear there won't be an update tomorrow atleast! _________________________ Season 9 Hello, My name's Phil the dinosaur, you can see me just after the main drop. I live in the lake and love to spray water on unsuspecting guests! Here you can see the new entrance, station and queueline. The park also have added dinosaur theming around the bottom of the queueline! Just after the chain lift we meet these friendly guys! NEXT TIME: No new rides and 3 surprises! Comments? -

Cheers for the feedback, I enjoy hearing your comments! I am going to post another update now and hope to see some more feedback! ________________________ Season 8 Here's a few pictures of the development area in Season 7 Hmm well then here's another ride removal! This time to, I can't see anyone in the park complaining. The old chairswinger was rough, ugly and pretty tame. From indie the construction site you can see how big the new ride will be. I've heard rumours of a coaster. I didn't get in to see any of the construction, with this area quite far back in the park and with no Winter Weekends this season not many people got any construction shots. Here's the new Coaster's Press Release! Here's a few pictures! Twisty family fun! Another overview...I mean look how cool the ride looks! I can't wait to ride it! The station and queueline.... Next Season and Major new ride update will take place... COMMENTS? -

Sorry for the double poast but I have no feedback and an update is in order! ______________ Season 7 The Animal Enclosures were moved slightly Here they were before. They're now bigger and faeture more animals but in a more covienent place. The Monkeys were kept where they were. Rumours have it of a new development here. I doubt it though. The park needs it's animals to fufill the needs of the founders will. F.E.A.R isn't very scary during the day! But everyone seems to love it....it gets really packed! The Chairswinger is going to be shut at the end of the season. People have been experiencing alot of pain from the ride! This was the new child's rae. It has a mini golf, a Topspin, and a Giant slide. It's very compact and needs some more food outlets. There's also very little theming...Something that's becoming common! Another Overview from the Ginat slide! As you can see Chaiswinger is still there! This area is very photographic. I love the coaster in the background! Ride Rumouers and News: The aprk had it's annual Fireworks display and unfortunately the park didn't mention the new ride as it usually does. Instead it just said that the park would be having a "very special new gift" The rumours are a family coaster with a corkscrew.... ....about the size of the chairswinger and Parachute Drop site... ...Maybe it's true! Comments PLEASE![/i] -

Hmm I'm actually playing the game a few season ahead as I haven't updated. So bear with me.... ____________________ Well then Season 6 what did we get? Yes that's right a new (pre owned brought off of a fair) Spiral Slide with little or no theming arriving during the Easter Break 10 weeks late. Yes kids, this park's organized! The old site of Ferris Wheel, they removed it as you know at the end of the season! The park let it stand throughout season 6 to be cloed in the season break! Bye Bye Crooked House as well, I think.... Here's a bit of a teaser! The new area will be themed on water...slightly I've heard rumours of water and lakes and splash battles and explosiuons and water cannons.... See you soon.... _______________________ Any thoughts? -

Well then in today's update I'm going to break the news of 3 new rides...which will be revealed next time! Here's the skyline from the left of the park. It's quite well filled now. I just wish we had a coaster to break it as well! Here's the queue for the kissing Tower! Some of the ride theming on F.E.A.R I took this pic just before it opened! Night time testing! Riders returning from the fear! A Testing shot! Queues! The story behind the ride is that a train you atre travelling in travels through a dark tunnel which lives the ormen. The ormen is a dark mysterious ghost which captures the spirits of the living. There is little theming in the tunnel but alot of mist and smoke, music and atmosphere! You then leave the tunnel to return to the haunted train station...will you return? Season 6 Has some huge developments I'm not allowed to say much other than B and M....and Lunch and world's first.....but you didn't hear it from me! -
Just out of curiosity does America have spped cameras like we do? Sorry if this seems niave I just wondered.... How does Tax and insurance work on American vehicles as well?
-
That car is hideous...what is it? It's a Dodge something I think...any ideas. I've thought of another good reason not to buy a smart car....Top Gear Review. Hold on...how much money is a smart car worth in 5 years time?
-
Hmm, well I'm not American so I'm not sure what other small cars you can buy in American otherwise I would recommend a nice new 5 star Euro NCAP safety rated Renault Clio...but seeing as you Americans don't get Renaults I don't think and the high import costs, low residual rates and tax etc., when in America a Clio doesn't seem like such a good idea... ...And there isn't enough chrome "Chrome makes it look like a luxury Product" Dodge Director..I wouldn't more agree there I mean is a towel rail a luxury product...? Have a look at this...Youtube Top Gear Test of Smart Car! What car makers do you buy from in America...I don't think you get Peugeot, or Citroen right?

Well cheers for the comments guys! _______________________ Season 4 started well. The new area opened dead on time and didn't have any major setbacks, unlike previous projects. The new area is called Themmsbury Woods, it has a new dingy ride "WaterChute!" A new Rotor "Chainsaw Blade" and a new inverted inpulse coaster! "Willsbury Forest Climber!" Of course the park has yet to add any signage for the new area, but hopes to have new signage by the end of the term! An overview WaterChute proved popular! Opening day for Waterchute The new Kissing Tower was added at the end of Season3 ready for season 4.... Station More overviews, God it looks fabulous! Woah...is this foir ahlloween, I think it is! The new Food Court! Next season: Kissing Tower and TWO ride removals! Hmmmm Happy Halloween! -

I'm back, thanks for all of your comments I'm really looking forward to showing you today's update. It took alot of hard work from me and I hope you enjoy! _________________ Well then I'm back to work for season two. I myself doubted there being a season two after the accident...I was terribly afraid that the park would close and I would lose my job. How wrong was I? Here's the big main part of the update...the new entrance! It's no where near as big as the other entrance.... It's alot shorter and needs more food outlets and toilets. It opened right at the end of season two as the park had hoped! Mind you, I think it's alot easier to get to from the carparks now... Car Park picture... Nearing the end of a long Autumn's day! The serene Garden is right after the entrance...after seeing the concept art for the area I was really shocked by how much it got toned down. I do hear though that more theming is on the way! There were record queues this year. The Trampolines got a line 1 hour long, usually you get to walk on or wait 10 minutes, I think it was don to the "free" tickets the park gave out to Staff members instead of a Christmas bonus! Nobody has ever seen this ride yet, it's not new it's just not very photographic...and barely anyone rides it! Well the Season 3 work is ploughing ahead nicely! Next update: Monday....I think! -

Cheers, I'm willing to post a mid season update later today but I'm going to show you something I should of done last time. It's the season 2 plans..... The RED is the work in pregress throughout the season, it's gonna be confirmed for year 3, but should be interestering. It's possibly the biggest new area for year 3 and will be themed very well. I can't release any more than that but with Viper! gone there's alot of space to play with. The BLUE is the new entrance from the Car park. It's going to look like the main entrance but will be alot smaller than the current one. It will be used for the priority pass holders and will have the famous Clock! The GREEN is a new food court ready to be open for the summer. The Season 3 is where work will start on a new attraction for season 4. Ground work will have to take place during season 3 though. Any more feedback. There'll be an update later today I hope! -

Nah that wasn't me. I've made quite a few changes since you saw the park last and hope you enjoy the update.... _________ Construction started on the new bumber boats ridee quite early on in the season! This is going to be a new ride with lots of interactioon between riders and guests. Cannons, water guns and jets have been rumoured! Th ride is hoped to be open by the summer (It's March now!) The Trampoline ride was very popular! As was the "Sensory Garden", which was giving away free lumps of rock throughout March! As was the disco ride! Wow it was crowded! Opening Day at 10pm! And it's open! So far all the pictures I have are this one. As you can see there are huge queues to try and cool off! The ride opened in August 2007 and will close in October for maintainence! Onride ICE! Backwards fun on the wooden coaster! Unmfortunately during May 2007 Viper derailed and killed 3 young children. It is with this reason in mind that the two arrow coasters Viper! and Launched will be removed. Launched was also struggling to launch riders at 60mph with rollbacks becoming frequent! People have been suggesting a new entrance in the place of Launched..... And finally an overview at the start of the season.... Next Time: *Removal of Viper! *Removal of Launched and Enytrance work *Rumoured new ride "ROTOR" A new launched coaster with Project "ROTOR" as it's codename! Feedback appreciated! -
Well then my pedigree chums I have a new park to show you. It is again no CS but thanks to a better vista computer I think it looks a damn sight better than the old park I did. Anyway I'm gonna hand you over to Bert the janitor.... ______________________ Hello my name's Bert I work at Themmsbury Park as a janitor cleaning up everyone els's mess. I do hope you enjoy viewing my home park! This is the sensory Garden. It's right nest to the main entrance and houses the carousel. As well as being nest to the main entrance it's next to the animal enclosures. The main entrance Viper is an old looping coaster it's been here since I've been and it's 20 years old! This is ice a new coaster which is smooth and makes you feel as if you are flying! There are lots of animals at Themmsbury! This is the main "Thrill" section of the park... And the children's section needs sprucing up as well! Here's the other side of the child's section! Food Court near horses! Of course there's much more to the park but I want to show you more tomorrow! There's a Hyper coaster, Splash boats and a rumoured ride removal for tomorrow to look forward to...

Oooh Ya beans; I have some news....I have made a few updates; to the park however they are in a kinda randmon order; so let's just say for pure simplicity that the park is now about 10 years ahead in time, and then in the next update it will be a few more years on.... (also the images are a touch smller as to fit them all in and to not lage down my PC and non Broardband users! and about 20 images on my website tking up precious space isn't exactly fun children!) Hyper 2004 The old rapids site it left in 2004; due to the lake no longer being able to pump the water due to health and Safety. The old buildings The new canadian themed area in 2005. Mincabs ride in action in 2005. Riders The ride in action near to the Racing thmed area New restraunt in the main street offering takeaways amongst other foods. Unfortunately there's no seatuing at the moment. The Launch Towers! Blast off. In action Before; they occupy the space that used to be held by The large waveswinger; However after several years of hard work the park decided to ditch the ride as it was very bumpy. The racing Zone has a Rotor; Go Karts; An aeroplane ride and a Waltzer as well as the Mini Coaster and the Air powered launched coaster. 2007's new floorless coaster complete with tacky theming. I did honestly think that they'd do a good job at theming the ride's new main coaster but I was wrong! Entrance to F.E.A.R ( A crappy name I know) Horror area (Gallows of Creepy Wood) where the old rapids ride used to stand After the Canadian themed area there's this the lake area with a twister and soon some rowing boats. The Chainsaw. One of the logflume Drops with the nice enclosed set piece as well as the Monster trucks in the Background which are above the area.... If you'd like any more pics please tell me and I'll put them up...any feedback is appreciated! -

Owned by a big company who likes rides to be sponsored to get more money; and a company that thinks any old tacky off the shelf ride will do. Thanks for some positive feedback. I have removed the queuelines; I just left them in the pictures by accident. -
Which Theme Park that you have visited has had the best toilets? I'm not trying to sound dirty; but I have to say some of the toilets at Drayton Manor are apalling! There's no Loo roll; the place smells really bad and the urinals have no Blocks in them. Whereas the ones at Alton Towers are spotless! I mean they were lovely! The toilets smelt nice and there were people inside cleaning them nsure that they stay in tip top condition! So.....Which theme park has had the best toilets in your opinon? Perhaps we can agree on one and then send that park a TPR Loo of the Year Award!

Well the park have been hard at work this season. The two coasters in the east of the park closed down in August so the park could dismantle them. Both the corkscrew coaster and Twisty Towers have been moved, and the area landscaped. The new area of the park is themed around racing; The new area is set inside the new Go-Karts track; which uses old parts from the current track. Now though it is much longer and features several tunnels. The only pictures I have are of the empty spaces left by the rides removed this season. As well as one picture I manged to get of the new area; without theming and restraunts. Here's the pictures: The Crorkscrew Coaster is no more. In fact nothing has been confirmed for this land..... Where the old Go-Karts track used to be will be reused at some point....for now though it's just wasted space. The empty space for the Racing Area. A preview picture of the new area...I can see a Slammer; a new Go Karts Track and Building....I have no idea what's inside! ____________ Updates soon....Any Comments? -

I'm running on the best settings I can. My compueter's about dead and needs more ram and a new graphics card. I will try next time to make them a bit better. I hate to seem so defensive over my work. I just thought I'd explain to you all.
