Ok when robb and ellisa went to bobbejaanland they made a film of how to say it, we have another hard one in wales, try saying this. The line underneath the welsh version in the pic is how you say it, and when you see 2 L'S together put the tip of your tongue behind your top row of teeth and blow out through your mouth thats the sound for LL. HAVE A GO.

Pic and Video TR. Ocean Beach Amusement Park. Rhyl Wales
tinhead replied to tinhead's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
I did visit the other park (Tir Prince Leisure park) they had another Pinfari and a powered coaster running, which the ride op told us the powered coaster was sinking into the tarmac, as it was melting under the heatwave we have been having. I did take a few pics there and rode them of course. Tir prince train coaster z40 -
It's time in wales to hit the seaside parks, so first for us to visit was Ocean Beach Amusement Park in Rhyl, North Wales. It's a small traditional seaside park, but where most of the parks in wales may have 1 or 2 coasters this one has 5 which helps the credit whore rating. The park has been there since the 50's and its first coaster arrived in 1960, but now gone. The park now has 2 Pinfari coasters one looping, a Schwarzkopf runaway train coaster, a Cavazza Diego Nessie kiddie coaster and a water coaster no idea what make it was :shock: . The first one we rode was the Pepsi Loop it was awful, the only smooth part of the track was the loop, the rest might have well have been road works. You could move the OTSR's at least 10 inches forward and back in the locked position so big thumbs down from me on that one. Next we went on Runaway Train this was much better to ride a figure of 8 track running through the station at a 45 degree angle, which made the ride different to most trains i have ridden. Ok credit whore time Nessie was next sad i know but it's there to be ridden so we did, no need to say much on this one apart from wheels, track and looks like nessie. Jet Stream was next and it was a real surprise great airtime and the drops and most prob the best and smoothest Pinfari i have been on with 2 good drops a wavey section and 2 double helix turns, it made a good ride best one at the park. Last was Lumberjack Falls a water coaster and classed as wood even though the framework is metal with wood cladding. A good drop and when it hit the water it didn't slow down to much so it gave a little airtime as it went up into the brake section, AND NO WETTNESS for a change. Overall this park isn't in the league of Blackpool or Fantasy Island in Skegness but still fun, the park itself is so small you could most probably fit it into the area where Dueling Dragons are in IOA. So not much walking between rides for the ACE members out there. Click here for Ocean Beach Amusement Park video Here are some pics of the coasters. Lumberjack Falls Pepsi Loop Jet Stream

Disney or Universal
tinhead replied to Coasters 4 ever's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Its Universal for me 75% of disney is pretty dated now, especially since Universal built IOA. -

TR: Blackpool Pleasure Beach
tinhead replied to Ben's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Sorry 520% loop it may look like the end of a nappy (diaper) pin. The plans for the Big One 2 have been shelved at the moment something to do with planning i think, as it has to cross the main beach road. -
TR: Blackpool Pleasure Beach
tinhead replied to Ben's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It wouldn't surprise me if they did remove bling as there are lots of rumours going around that they are removing three rides, the Log flume, RevOlution and one other for new attractions. Also one of the arcades have got plans for a drop ride and a 520 looping coaster on top of it. -

Thanks for letting me know, i will have to find a way to fix the prob with Mozilla, I have never used it so i didn't know. Update just downloaded firefox and found that it is a text size problem, all you have to do to fix this is press ctrl and scroll the mouse button and it will all fall back into place.

Theme Park in Oakland? Fo shizzle...
tinhead replied to Justin Adams's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I wonder if they will use themes from their films and tv shows. I.E Car Stripping from I'm gonna git you sucker to rival GM Test Track and instead of Mr Potatoe Head they could have the Head Detective from In Living Colour... -
Yes your right, I thought it was a good song for a park video.
