Its better that you ride a poor coaster first, it will make you appreciate the awesomeness that is Nemesis that much more, out of the 300+ times (stopped counting at 300) that I have ridden Nemesis, I have never had a bad ride on it.

You can also hit it up at Thorpe Park too, gotta love all you can eat! Awesome TR as ever! Andrew "Here's hoping that my mad dash round the UK in April TR is anywhere near this caliber!" Shakespeare

One word answer - Awesome!! Although confused about the Slinky Ride, it looks like an old school flatride, I believe called the Caterpillar, wouldn't have thought Disney would have installed a ride like this?!

Glad we could all be of some help! Power of the People!

With enough notice I would be up for it, would be interesting and good to throw support towards a park that needs all the support it can help due to planning issues etc....

None of the internal effects were working for the GMTV filming session, whether this is due to technical issues, or it could actually be to hide the effects for the public up until they experience it for themselves, rumours I have heard are the internal section of the ride will actually be twice the time that you saw on the GMTV video. Good to see there is a shutter which closes to create total darkness, will be a good experience when all working. The drop actually looks pretty impressive considering the height isn't that tall, also good to see that the entire of the final reverse helix is covered over, really looking forwards to riding this in May.

There is a few photos of the Flamingoland Space Shot in my TR from last year http://themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=50216 Will try to get the remaining ones in the UK on my little Trip in a few weeks time.

I wondered how long it would be before this was posted! What was everyone expecting? A secret underground track with a launch to 200mph and a 500ft spectacular underground vertical loop followed by a water splash? Think the idea of it looks great, will be very immersive with the actions, lets just hope the sim video relates very well with the motions, then this could be an awesome experience!

Nice one, will message you closer to the day mate to arrange meet up etc....

All hotels are now booked, Theme Park tickets to be booked on Sunday, so these dates are pretty final now. Can't wait to increase the coaster count!

I think in all honesty, out of Hamilton and Button, Button will win it, when they were both on different teams last year with the same technology, Button was all over Hamilton, Hamilton only started to win after McLaren changed the design of the car (think it was front wing or something) on this basis, with them both having the same designed cars, Button to win!

Should be able to get a lot of the UK ones for you in April mate, am doing Pleasure Island, Thorpe, Lightwater Valley, Fantasy Island and Camelot, will try to take photos of them all for the Park Index!

Robb - your doing a great job, to be able to get any discount at all from any parks is an amazing thing, just goes to show the power that TPR have throughout the Amusement Industry, I am sure as Club TPR Grows, more and more parks may well hop on board!

Awesome, really can't wait to experience this!

If you can sort something out would be good meet you bud.

Hi Peeps, Due to Tesco Clubcard Points I have managed to get enough for this whole trip to cost me only the fuel/hotels and food Starting on the 8th April, I am taking an 8 day tour itinerary below, apart from this being where I will post the TR, am trying to find out if any TPR members are free those days for a meet up, I don't mind riding solo, but as always, the more the merrier!! Thursday 8th April - Legoland (Below) Friday 9th April - Thorpe Park Saturday 10th April - Chessington WOA Sunday 11th April - Oakwood Leisure Park Monday 12th April AM - Camelot Monday 12th April PM - Blackpool Pleasure Beach Tuesday 13th April - Lightwater Valley Wednesday 14th April - Fantasy Island Thursday 15th April - Drayton Manor Park Can anyone give me advice on Oakwood/Drayton & Lightwater as to how busy they will be (I know it is the official Easter Holidays, but I have limited holiday this year, so will make do!) I know Alton is missing, but due to running issues with Thirteen and I know how busy Alton gets during holidays I am going in May with a few friends, so don't mind waiting a month to ride Thirteen Midweek with No Queues! So, anyone fancy meeting up on any of the above days? EDIT - added new dates for my tour.

Probably asking too much here, but will be signing up on pay day this month (26th March), what are the chances of having everything through my letterbox before 10th April?? Due leaving date of my UK Road Trip?

What sort of deal have you managed to negociate with Camelot? Was planning on dropping by to ride Knightmare on my way to Blackpool in April so any offerings will help this decision!

What is it with the US upcharging for a Screaming Swing, Rush at TP is inclusive of the entry fee and runs a pretty decent cycle, its a great ride, made it into my top 5 flat rides list!

Its a good job I have held off on going mid April, going to be going early May instead, lets just hope the workers aren't too scared of the wrathes so they can sort out the glitches! What is it with Merlin Opening new rides that have major glitches! (btw, that was sarcasm, I know all new one of a kind rides have problems!)

Anyone think that they might lay wooden laminate over the top of the steel? Using the Steel as an Upstop runner?

Good to see Big Dipper is Running and Rollercoaster, will be visiting in April to get my credits which I have missed previously (Wild Mouse and Rollercoaster) Good TR as always Brit Crew, will have to meet you guys one of these days for a legendary day! (and night!)

So all those that rode the old Texas Giant....will this be a new Credit? What does JJ think?

If you could Arrange Free Parking at Alton Towers that would be a godsend!!!! About 98% Certain of buying club membership, all depends on the funds!

Been having a look for you and same as yourself, no luck so far, tried Company Trademark logos etc.... If anyone knew if Togo had a website, then pop along to http://web.archive.org and I reckon you can find their logo from an old page from a few years ago. Sorry cannot be of any more help.
