When did they call it the largest in the Country? Camelot have been really good with their advertising of this. And I like how they're getting lots of enthusiasts involved aswell.

That park reminds a bit of the American Adventure Theme park that we used to have here in the UK. Even though there's nothing amazing there, it does look like it could be a lot of fun. And good to see that they didn't close all the rides because of the winds.

Cheers. If that video is accurate, then it looks like FB will have a fantastic constant speed, which is one thing I love. It just doesn't seem to slow down!

Is this the end of the ride: And does anyone have any pictures or art work showing off the whole layout?

No doubt she has her first already

Yes, a big 'congratulations' is in order! CONGRATULATIONS

OMG, Toboggans rock! Kinda.... They used to have one of those at Gt Yarmouth Pleasure Beach, I remember loving them as a kid, although I always found it a bit of a 'tight' squeeze getting in and out of the 'Postman Pat' cars, and I was only 14! Great PTR! I wish a fair with credits will come near me!

Yup, every weekend except when Christmas falls on a weekend.

And didn't say "hi" because??? I must say though, I thought Rage was quite rickerty, but thats probably due to the sudden changes in direction.

Well yesterday was the time for my first UK park of 2007, but this visit was mainly because today was Rage's opening day. I won't say too much, apart from Rage was very good, really enjoyed it, its good to finally get on a decent ride at Adventure Island. Anyway, here's the pics: AI has changed forever! Before Rage officially opened, they added a second train, not that it was needed. The other train, keeping nice and dry Oo, its testing, should be open soon! Evan enjoys watching RAGE There I go! Its very curvey, if a little rickerty. After a few goes on Rage, we decided to go have some lunch up at the high street. Possibly the worst named coaster on the planet, "Mighty Mini Mega" Evan enjoying his first ever Whopper at the age of 4 Southends mahoosive peir Evan is turning out ot be a right little 'whore' More photo's of Rage: . Ti's a rather large peir, isn't it! Best looking Twister ever? Pay £16 for a wristband, yet you have to pay extra for the Dodgems More Rage This ride is crap, basically I think Evans CC is about 12, not bad ofr a 4 year old. Wehay! "I wanna go on Rage!" POV shot This coaster actually is quite good Possibly Evans favourite ride, EVER! Another shot of Rage I now actually think the Tri-track looks better than the 'flat track' Green Scream The 'cutback' on Rage is quite rickerty This actually used to be Evans favourite ride, but they have now raised the height limit of it from 1m to 1.2m so he can't go on it no more, well, untill he's grows to 1.2m, which will probably be in a year or so. The same goes for the Dinghy Slide, now 1.2m instead of 1m, and it was another of Evans favourites. He's not impressed. And I finish this small PTR with this nice of AI just before it closed after Rages first day of operation. Hope you enjoyed. Martyn

The ride is due to officially open Feb 10th. POV: The quality is poor, but its better than nothing. (I didn't infd Speed rough, but it gave me a head ache )

Wrong, we(British) call a Quarter Pounder with cheese, a Quarter Pounder, its the French that call it a Royale with Cheese.

Its very sad seeing the place like that, especially as it doesn't derserve it. I'm curious as to why KSM is still standing, I'm guessing its up for sale.

That just looked wrong, but fun!!!

Actually, I didn't get any photo's from inside Phantom Manor. Anyway, you don't want to spoil it for yourself, its an excellent ride, thats my excuse anyway...

No, that was the only day it was open, and it was very cloudy when we went past it, so I just said "I'll wait another day when its nice and clear", but it never opened again And to answer the quesiton on the other page, the Tower of Terror was schedule to open on Halloween, but I think its now early 2008, January possibly.

OMG, best show ever. I do still watch it occasionally on Challenge. Anyway, I think Knightmare is a cool name, and I can't to ride it in the summer. So bascially, this means theres most probably a Pinfari for sale, M&D's???

^It was Goofy in the Studio's, so was all 'glammed up'. Yeah, thats all Charlie kept saying through-out the trip...

Ta da! You'll notice that I'm not in a single photo with characters in them Stupid things Studios Cool little Mickey statue Inside Studio 1 Big gob ...... See, look, no me, aha Giant objects in the Disney Television Studios Wooh! Best coaster in the park... Sexxxy Donald and friends Thunder Mountain...again Space Mountain...again Now for some photo's of Indiana Jones et le Tempil du Peril Another brilliantly themed coaster Mince getting a bit too excited Best loop ever!! Random Phantom Manor shot Yet another BTM picture "Cheese" Here's some photo's from inside Pirates of the Caribbean Aagh! Charlie appers to be very happy with her ride on PotC All was going well upto Monday night, then diaster struck!!!! ARGH!! More piccies to come

I have always stayed on site, so I wouldn't know what its like to stay 'off site'. I would imagine its cheaper, but not as fun. Some more piccies will be up anytime soon...

Its 16 euros for an adult and 13 for a child, or free if you book you holiday with Disney

Trust, you don't need to worry about the queue's, mid week, its empty, yet they still have Fast Pass open on most rides. But, no matter how quiet it is, Big Thunder Mountain will always have a huge queue. Only 1 FP at a time I'm afraid, but like I said, you own't need any apart from on BTM. Well heres some more piccies: I'm starting this update with lots of photo's of Big Thunder Mountain, which shows of all of the fantastic theming, and why I believe its oneo f the best themed ocasters in the world These are all shots of the queue line: Now for some on-ride shots: Going down, under the lake Phantom Manor, form BTM's 2nd lift hill Going back down under the lake for the best part of the ride The mountain in all its glory The castle in all its glory Space Mountain looking fabulastic as usual See, lots and lots of steam The launch tunnel even gets filled with steam Oo, light speed!! Buzz has the same loading system as the Phantom Manor, just one long continous train. We take a walk through Nauticas (or what ever its called) Its a strange but very well themed walk through thingy which is under the lake by Space Mountain I just can't enough photo's of SM Now we over in Fantasy Land Stupid maze Fantasy Land overview Mmm, Caseys, this place do lush Hotdogs "It's a Small Wolrd" I don't know why, and I'm quite ashamed to admit this, but I like it! Some piccies from inside Small World Yeah, I get way too 'click happy' with my camara.... Anyway, that will do for now. Hope you enojoyed so far. --Martyn

^That is exactly what happend to me yesterday, when I tried to book a trip there. I just kept saying to my self "WTF??? they are not fully booked all year, impossible" I think we should just stay in England...

Here you go: http://www.eurostar.com/dynamic/_SvBoTravelFaresSelectTerm?_TMS=1169983547258&_DLG=SvBoTravelFaresSelectTerm&_LANG=UK&_AGENCY=ESTAR Thats £65 for 2 people to go to DLP, the return journey cost £85 for 2 people though. This is very strange, yesterday I checked the prices for a trip in June, it came up £65 there and £65 back, but for some strange reason, I can choose June anymore, the furthest I can go is May..

Them lamp posts are a part of the christmas decorations, they just haven't been taken down yet. Yes I got the whole thing as a package, flight, transfers, hotel and parks. It might well be cheaper to book a 'classic package' through Disney, which doesn't include transport, then book your transport seperatly, Eurostar tickets are only £65 each return. Oh and also, the EuroStar stops at Disney before central paris, so it sounds odd that you can't stop at Disney... More photo's up later today. --Martyn
