Video and Question about 4K HDTVs!
JK replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
1. No. 6. Not very important, but I do like new gadgets. HD is good enough for my dodgy eyes. 7. I currently have a 3D television which I very rarely use for 3D. Glasses are too uncomfortable to wear and use for extended game playing. I hire 3D movies but they are more of a novelty than something I really need. When I replace my TV (in a number of years time) I would rate 4K as a higher priority than 3D but would probably get both if 3D is still going. - James. -
Who actually reads our "Monday Fun" emails?
JK replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I do. - James. -
1. Both auto-play off. It annoys me when a video I am not interested in starts playing. 2. Very rarely. If I am in the video or even more rarely if I have been on or will be on the ride. (Will not make much difference as I only have 87 friends ) 3. Videos / Photos. See 2 above. 4. The entire video. (Fast forward the lift hill....) 5. Important. Draws me in. 6. I just flick through the news feed two or three times a day. Due to the clutter I often miss stuff. 7. No.

How do you watch full-length videos/movies?
JK replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
1. Blue-Ray from LoveFilm by post. 2. Amazon Prime Instant video, very rarely. Only use it as I get it cheap as I used to use LoveFilm Instant. 3. One or two. 4. Nope. 5. Full length, never. Occasional short videos mainly from Facebook news feed. - James. -
There was not any comments but I will post the rest of the photos from the Zombie dinner anyway!! Zombie dinner was an additional charge but (obviously) included food. As we visited during the week the dinner was after the parks rides closed. WARNING SPOILERS: For anyone planning on doing this dinner I would recommend not reading this report. As the park was closing we gathered outside the Russian themed building. Bjorn meeting one of the locals entertaining the queue. Time to head inside. Some of our hosts borrowed a camera and did a selfie. Very cool!! Selfie wit

Great trip report Divv. It was a real shame that I missed this trip. - James.

Photo TR: TPR 2014 SCANDI Tour - Bill's Awesome Revisit!

Great trip report Bill! I find it amusing to see a group of us (including me) riding a swinging log rather than a mega-lite. - James. -

TPR Scandi Trip 2014 Mini Updates!
JK replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The pictures do not do the trip justice. The trip was even more EPIC than the pictures. This trip had stand out moments daily. To name just a few: - Eclipse tower climb, - Extreme ropes course, - SCAD tower, - TPR Grand Prix, - Random ropes courses, - Bouncy things of death, - Liesberg, - Grona Lund, - Loads of incredible flats including free booster (at Power Park) - and loads more. Not to mention loads of ERT and BEER!! A huge thanks to all the people I hung out with, the park staff and a bigger thanks to Robb and Elissa. EPIC!!!!!!! - James. -
Yay for EGPT (Exclusive Goofy Pool Time). A great welcome to Hong Kong Disneyland resort. Although Goofy was a bit too friendly for one person - James.

Great trip report! Brings back lots of memories. My favourite ride at Amazing World was the amazing but strange 'half JCB' flat ride. - James.

Lots of scare actors wandering the park. New for this year, Villa 13, as seen from the queue to the rapids ride. This is a house owned by Walibi Belgium converted into a horror maze. An extra fee was required but it was included as part of the RIP Pass. A very good horror maze with: - Lots of scare actors. (Almost too many, as every room had at least one scare actor and after a while you walked into a room expecting scare actors.) - Small groups (Five people in our group) - Video projections. Final horror maze, Project Z. This was my favourite horror maze. SPOILER: The

Me with horns from Psyke Underground. Enjoying the view on the big wheel. Even more pictures of Loup-Garou. Where too next??? Next ride was Gold River Adventure, rethemed for Halloween to Zombie River. Pretty. Spooky. Skulls on sticks, Very atmospheric with the setting sun. Would of been even better in the dark. Enjoying the cruise. It was a bit of shame that the boats were so close together as you could see the boat ahead of you and it spoilt some of the scares. (Not much they could do about this without halving the throughput) Zombie in the hut.. Extra

Arghhh... Zombies. Graveyard around Mad House 3D. Mad House 3D was a semi 3D psychedelic muli coloured maze. It was good but the one at Park Asterix was better. I think we have left Bjorn too long in the coffin... He's behind you... Next credit Loup-Garou / Werewolf. This was a great fun Vekoma wooden coaster. Not a lot of airtime, but a fast non brutal ride. Notice the queue going outside the queue area. RIP Pass saves the day again. Arghhh... An SLC. Why do Vekoma SLCs look so pretty but ride like rubbish... People in pain... It looks great... Vin
