  1. Great TR ... I am making my first trip down to Sin City at the end of June, hitting up Cali (USH and maybe SFMM) then coming back for a cpl more days in Vegas and I tell you, I cannot wait.

     

    Mesa Grill is definitly something I am tempting to try...any other suggestions? Both Casual or a little more fine dining?

     

    Also, what would be your number 1 MUST DO in Vegas other then coasters/gambling?

     

    i would say: go to a shooting hall to fire some machine guns i really loved it cause it's impossible here in belgium to try such weapons ^^

  2. 3 Days ago i booked 3 tickets for thorpe park. Payed with visa and i'm 100% sure i used the correct email adress. i checked the reservation paper that i've printed but my email isn't noted on it so i cant check if i typed it wrong or not.

     

    checked for a contact adress but i can only the phone. i live in belgium so i rather prefer email then phone. anybody else ever had problems with it?

     

    if i didn't recieve the mail before tuesday, i just have to call i think i guess i won't get the tickets when i take the reservation paper with me that day. i'm going next weekend so...

  3. crowds were really ok max queue time i saw was 60min for air. nemesis and rita were around 40-45 minutes, oblvion also.

     

    and about DM... pirates adventure was really bad imo i liked excalibur (the boat ride with that dragon theme) more. The haunting (madhouse) wasn't that bad as well (nice story) but the ride itself was shitty

  4. Awesome pics.

    I was at the towers the two days before Scarefest. Everything was basically walk on as the English were in school.

    I got my first rides on Air, Nemesis, Oblivion and Rita.

    I also took a last ride on the Corkscrew and for the first time ever, had to wait to get on and then ride with a full train. Dare I say it but it was running SMOOTHLY!!!

    Rita broke on the second day early on and didn't open again.

    Was the Skyride open when you were there as it was closed for us on both day's?

    I've always wanted to see Alton Towers during Scarefest so thanks for the pics.

     

    26/10 the skyride was also closed for us but the 27th it was open! thank god cause i really liked the ride over the valley

  5. Pictures from Alton Towers now! First visit and it's my favo park so far together with Disney Paris The nature is absolutly stunning. Sometimes it felt like you were in a national park instead of being at AT ^^

     

    We were there with scarefest, they had 3 Halloween attractions. Terror of the towers witch was a walktrough trough the old towers, really nice imo.

     

    Also there was a boiler room nearby the AT hotel and they also created a cropfield maze there witch was also really nice. I don't have pictures of it just because it night at the moment we did the spooky attractions.

    then we headed back to the entrance

    DSC03631.JPG.18b776fb6b08dc79b50c2d0ea6e4a52d.JPG

    this is the passage way (last corridor to the vault, its main show) here you exit the original towers

    DSC03630.thumb.JPG.e4b1651888726fef4db009fe5c78b9be.JPG

    the paper they have to fill in. riders/head is how many people they had in that hour.

    all the parts from the entrance to the exit

    Hello Hex ride operator :)

    DSC03619.JPG.884cd3d00d440043e76d3e9641a12791.JPG

    This is the building where they placed the madhouse in. I thaught it was inside the towers :$

    DSC03618.JPG.48a2850b563397e80199a0662f52f187.JPG

    Not to forget, we also got a backstage Tour of Hex! This is the place where there used to be an old Schwarzkopf but I don't remember the name anymore :)

    DSC03607.thumb.JPG.c29a8d905abbc27c023d29ac571aab1d.JPG

    First element after the small drop

    DSC03596.thumb.JPG.a3a006560b61c29ab9a631bc93d952dd.JPG

    Again Nemesis! After riding it at the 6th row, in the dark and front I most say it's one of the best coasters i did. It's cool in the dark but front seat during the day is better. Specially the first element is great riding front seat

    DSC03592.JPG.b56a1c0f8d0b1303d646af6991d5a4bc.JPG

    Day two started off with b&m madness. First up was Oblivion, after that we went to Air for again riding it front seat!

    DSC03563.JPG.7c2a0bd47bd73c965df494efd765da8c.JPG

    After riding the two b&m's at Forbidden Valley, we went to Ug-Land. Hell + Heaven together on one picture ;)

    Again the turn where you go on your back

    DSC03537.thumb.JPG.66ca84e629e36d0c30a68a2407242e30.JPG

    Lying on your back with the sun and blue sky above your head was the greatest feeling I ever got on a coaster :)

    DSC03534.JPG.7ba7096d1d4fc388c14ea2fd9d31a4ee.JPG

    The moment where you turn on your back

    DSC03533.JPG.42ea95edcbe6312e20bf0ae0b5f97477.JPG

    Time for some Air shots again

    Zero-G over the station, love this element

    Vertical loop Nemesis

    DSC03517.JPG.add7d170b3eb2d1e9ff7aa0d36111759.JPG

    After collecting our Fasttrack for Air, Nemesis and Obl we started with Air. Favo coaster so far. The part when you're going on your back is awesome :)

    Lovely

    DSC03506.JPG.bfa40659e7d66c83293b854cac1c7850.JPG

    After the Halloween fun, we went trough the gardens straight to Forbidden Valley. I never saw such nature in a park... Actually it was unbelievable for me that you could find this kind of nature at a themepark!

    DSC03501.JPG.2f5da0ac1bedb1bc90c82a94f91b29eb.JPG

    Nerd shot?

    DSC03500.thumb.JPG.2b593c585b6b3d82a27a8e833e36ea41.JPG

    Taking some Oblivion pics while waiting for Tower of the terrors. We rode it in the dark witch was really crazy cause you really didn't know when the drop would end :D

    Again the towers

    DSC03484.thumb.JPG.296918aaf2a46c96cb0e9685049a5830.JPG

    In front of Hex, best madhouse I did so far. The story, the music, the legend behind the story... I loved it

    DSC03483.JPG.058f11d00e0051bbf29c6c9010a13715.JPG

    We took our Halloween tickets after Spinball and went to Hex. The towers are simply awesome

    Horshoe turn

    DSC03474.JPG.5f4624bb9c38782f43f3b231df575954.JPG

    First stop: Spinball Wizzer. Pretty good spinning coaster but not as good as the Winja's :)

    I love the Halloween decoration!

    Arriving at AT

  6. Oktober means Halloween time so we went to the UK!

     

    CRAP, made a mistake with the attachments so you have to view the DM pics from the end to the top of the post

     

    I hope you enjoy the pictures + comments but be warned that my comments aren't that cool and funny to read, imo...

     

    Overall opinion about this park... I didn't like it very much! it was good for a one time visit to have the coaster credits + riding the only standup coaster in europe and the only standup floorless drop tower witch was really good imo!

     

    Alton Towers report will come tommorow, right now bed time!

    DSC03421.JPG.9e7350f5304facb9478872e9a2b3e479.JPG

    Yay, after a trip that took almost 9 hours, we arrived at DM.

    DSC03424.thumb.JPG.d658f61e12bb2f45a3b24bea27cd44ff.JPG

    First stop, the pretty unique drop tower Apocalypse!

    DSC03425.JPG.559c8b7dcf9490f90b5142ff9a7dd987.JPG

    Hmmm witch one should we take?

    DSC03423.JPG.097b92e1eb60e14e8f81a7f9d94172ab.JPG

    Standup floorless ofcourse! BTW I really loved the "seats" :D

    Home o_O AT you mean *woohoo*

  7. i'm also still learning how to use AHG. i know the basics and i can heartline a track but not perfect... i'm always having problems with loopings.

     

    track right now is: launch-dive loop-airtime hill-looping

     

    the dive loop is ok after using AHG, the airtime section also (painted it black and the piece before and after red and green) but i keep getting problems with the looping. the top piece always turns around after using AHG (if you know what i mean?)

     

    someone has en explenation for this? even when i paint it black it keeps turning around that piece of track

  8. indeed, that's always the first thing i do when i enter disney!

     

    go to frontierland and take a FP for BTM, then meanwhile go to Phantom Manor. After PM, you can do the boat around BTM (if the queue wasnt too lang @ PM)

     

    after BTM indiana jones, then pirates, small world, space mountain, buzz light year.

     

    also try to take a FP for buzz. waiting time there is almost always around 50-60 minutes

  9. only one day... are you planning to do the park and the studios? if yes, i'm begging for you that it's not too crowded that day

     

    just try to get all the big attractions in the disney park like phantom manor, big thunder mountain, indiana jones, space mountain, it's a small world, pirates of the caribean and buzz lightyear. if it's not too crowded you have a chance to do them all in one day but i'm not sure if you will make it in time to the studios to ride RnRc and Tower of Terror. with only one day, you won't have a chance to ride crush's coaster cause its capacity is horrible...

     

    if you really really want to do that ride, make sure to be at the studios 30min before opening time
