PortAventura Discussion Thread
Bag_O_Laughs replied to Shockwave's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It looks good but not enough for me to want to visit Salou again in a hurry. But you never know, as construction continues I may get more exited about it. I'm just not all that interested in a Ferrari land, and we have Stealth in this country which is pretty much the same ride just a bit smaller so I think I'll skip this and save for a different holiday. Cheers for all the information! -
Thorpe Park Discussion Thread
Bag_O_Laughs replied to Rooey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Sorry, what i meant was I hope its actually a dark ride not another walk through maze or something like an aquarium (not that it looks like its going to be with the debilitated look) I also hope its better than charlie and the chocolate factory in AT. Its an OK ride but really only appeals to children not to the whole family. -

Oh great! I sure hope that comes to fruition. It would be nice to have a family ride which everyone can enjoy without getting wet. hopefully the ride is long enough to make it worth the queue... I'm looking at you storm surge! -

Alton Towers Discussion Thread

Obsession is the word. I do like wooden coasters but its not like i hate steel! I would like a nice smooth coaster with a good theme (don't we all). I would like to see something like they have in Dollywood, Tennessee Tornado i think its called. A smooth but thrilling coaster which wound through the trees with some good twists. I mean in a perfect world a huge smooth behemoth like Shambhala (new coaster in my top 5) would be great but for obvious reasons will never happen. I can dream however. -
Thorpe Park Discussion Thread
Bag_O_Laughs replied to Rooey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I sadly agree. Not that i should be too sad as I never ride the banana boat myself, too much repetitive motion... it doesn't get on well with me. That area is a bit unloved at the moment, there isn't much theme to it. It just sits behind no-way out in a kinda jungle kinda not themed bit. I wonder, if anything, Thorpe will do with this area. -

ah google, you know everything. I remember now, he wasn't a bear he was a tiger? I think i used to have a plush of him. and it was the rabbit who had his own ride. The boat ride. -

Oh, bye bye carousel. how sad. I guess thats the last of the old park mascots have gone now? My childhood has officially been removed from Thorpe Park. I could never understand why they got rid of these mascots. I thought they were pretty cool especially for younger kids. I'm trying to remember what there was... the money, why used to have his own ride from memory, a lady hippo, a bear? umm.. thats all i can remember. -

^ yup, when will it end. It seems like AT has been getting a wooden coaster for around 10 years now. but a hybrid could work, it would at least help the noise issue. -
PortAventura Discussion Thread
Bag_O_Laughs replied to Shockwave's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ total speculation here but i think it will be a land because they changed the name from world to land. I like the design but i don't think it fits within the theme of the park which makes me a little sad. PA is such a lush well themed park with a world theme. Having a Ferrari land doesn't really fit. But oh well, at least its investment. I'm still hoping it will be a separate gate. -
K'nex Twisted Colossus

Very cool! i love a bit of K'nex -
I would love another ride based on the Jurassic park franchise but if it doesn't happen USF has got a pretty awsome river boat ride as it is, i just wish they would improve the maintinance, as I'm from the UK my trips are every 2 years and every time i've been on the river adventure ride the brachiosaurus (or what ever it is) never seems to work! he's supposed to lift his head up right? All the times I've been on the ride his head stays in the water. I don't quite get the metal detectors. Not that i have a problem chatting with my party while waiting in the queue, having a mobile to hand with games to play does make the time go much faster. I think its very OTT.

Hey, good work as always! How much does it weigh now? Can you lift it on your own or do you need to break it down into sections to carry it? -

haha, Priceless. I could just imagine any other park would get a vinyl sticker of elsa and just stick it over the mural. -
Tokyo Disney Resort Discussion Thread
Bag_O_Laughs replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Amazing! I love both the Beauty and the beast, alice in wonderland and Arendelle/Scandinavia areas. I LOVE THEM ALL!!! I'm so happy this gives me an excuse to visit Tokyo again in a few years time! We all know TDL & TDS will do this right. How long do you all think this will take? I've only been following tokyo disneyland resort in the past 2 years. Compared to previous builds, will they finish within the deadline? I could imagine the Japanese being quite efficient. -
That is an "unfortunate" side affect of looking for these beer mats for my collegue. I'm going to have to visit some really fantastic bars and pubs. Such a hard life I live And just for a bit of clarification, I'm not looking to buy mug coasters. Beer mats are usually given free in UK pubs and are supplied to the pub from the brewery. Apparently they're very collectible with some "limited edition" mats being worth £300! (~ $450)
