I've decided that adults really shouldn't dress up...and if they do, it should be at an adults only party!
The woman in the Denver Broncos get up makes me disagree with this statement

the train from Waterloo to Staines leaves 3 times an hour and will cost in the region of £9 return I'd imagine. Journey time is 35 minutes.
I would suggest getting a groupsave ticket from Waterloo which basically means Buy 2 adult tickets, get 2 free.

Drove past Thorpe on the M3 earlier and it looks like the lift has been 'topped off'

RIP in peace old friend. (Old friend who used to punch me in the head)

I was just trying to find details of that Giant Safety Coaster and came across this website

nice video.
I'm a bit upset with the lack of high kicking though

What I find weird is that I have lived under 20 minutes away from Windsor my entire life but have never been there but I have been to everywhere on your New York trip... twice.
Some great photos btw

no bonus Southsea pier photos? I for one am disappointed.
Also I haven't been on the hovercraft for years. This upsets me
The Pier has a "Disk-o", A Scrambler, an "extreme" flat ride and a mega fast Waltzer.
I was pushed for time and did not want to photo anything else on the pier apart from the coaster.
If you have not been on a hovercraft for years, why can't you arrange a day out
Moved away from Portsmouth. Might have to look into it when It finally warms up, how much is it nowadays?

but I find it hard to believe the restraints eliminate head-banging.
why?
The side of your head doesn't touch any restraints. Where would the headbanging come from? Air?

Just came across this on my daily internet ramble. Not sure why this has been planned, It's not like the view of Birmingham will be that amazing.

The Giant Drop is the tallest drop ride in Europe where visitors free fall over 100 metres or 32 storeys down the front the tower, providing a thrilling experience for the riders and a real wow factor for visitors arriving at the base of the tower.
The Flight Trainer is a one of a kind - the highest rotating ride in the world. Twenty space-age flight simulators spin around the outside of the tower – at 110m up. Riders use joystick controls to change the elevation, flight path and roll of the capsules, each piloting their own adventure.
The See Saw hoists passengers up into the air and then suddenly catapults right over the edge of the tower. At 125 metres high, this is the ultimate white knuckle experience.
The Walk of Fear offers visitors the opportunity to walk around the outside the tower, secured by a harness but with no railings. It's a real test of nerve suitable for all ages and abilities, including wheelchair users.
The Sky Jump and Giant Bungee will operate alternately offering two different jump experiences. The Sky Jump gives a high speed descent controlled by a super-fast cable winch. The Giant Bungee is a freefall jump - the highest in the UK.
At the very top of the tower, the intrepid few will take up the challenge of climbing the final 10 metre steel ladder to the flag pole at the summit of the building. Climb to the Top is an adrenalin pumping feat not for the faint-hearted. The fearless few will be rewarded with the highest open-air view of Birmingham and have their photo taken at 200m with the city beneath them.

This is still in the planning stage.
(Sorry if this should have been in another section or rumour superthread)

Prices... or opening times
The recent updates have reminded me that I have seen so few European theme parks I suck.
-
I found a Steel Hawg IB promo video on youtube - http://youtube.com/watch?v=dbndq_RhP7E&feature=related - so they must be close.
Have they started testing yet?

Good stuff BM, hope you aren't too upset when Spain win tonight.
Although I hope Fabregas breaks his legs. (I'm a nice guy really)

That would have been my desktop if only you had shot it landscape...
First time I have ever seen Belgium bathed in sunshine, perhaps I should pay a visit in the summer, not just in the depths of winter. Oh well, you live and learn.
Keep up the uber-fast updates Mike

Hi Big Mike, Long time reader, first time poster on your thread.
Loving your dedication at getting the Mainland Europe Trip scoops. Keep up the good work
-
excellent, you should have tried Chessington as well, If only for Dragons Fury
-
The Three 'main' theme parks in the UK have decent enough log rides, Thorpe has a very good double down main drop. Chessington has good theming on the main drop and a smaller drop into a dragons mouth and Alton Towers has Bathtubs and rubber ducks.
Still nothing tops Dudley Doo Rights and Splash Mountain though
Where in the world are Robb & Elissa? Part III

Hmmm. robb said he won't be able to post until tomorrow which makes it sound like terminal five....
I have no idea where they are going and to be honest, even after reading this entire thread I hae no idea where they have been. All I can tell you is that it encouraged me to buy a lion bar for the first time since I left college 4 years ago so thanks for that. It was more than yummy
