TPDave

Interesting to see them branding to the "eye". It's worked well in London so hopefully it goes well over there too.

That and the number of uses is capped per day. Has there been any more word on purchasing extra rides with FP+ or are they going to hold off for a while?

^^ Exactly, the people now in shouldn't change their minds and then the momentum should drop. At least that's what I hope would happen!

^ I think they should have realised that their park can't open a ride successfully and planned accordingly But yeah, Disney hasn't got anything to worry about, they're already ahead of the competition.

I'm still waiting to see Maiden! They're headlining a decent festival in the UK along with Metallica so I might cave in and go to that!

^ Yeah I saw the sizzle reel and thought "I've petty much seen the show now" so ever really thought about it again. Just got tickets for Matilda in January, very excited for it as I'm a huge Tim Minchin fan

^ Pretty much, it's only because of a stupid petition. If they were actually doing this on moral grounds they wouldn't be dong very many shows

^^ Yeah, those tend to be pretty terrible shot though! Hades 360 was the one I had in mind when I wrote that, I remember a couple of others that looked amazing on the TPR footage but can't remember which ones, maybe Robb can recall.

Thanks Jason, some awesome pictures to bring back good memories there! I absolutely loved this city, it was basically Tokyo without the crowds, the festival thing by the station was a lot of fun and obviously 80 minutes of free beer (or however long it was??) was rather fun. Can't wait for the next instalment

It's one of those things that you know it's safe so it just doesn't really concern me. I think some of the look quite nice, very slender!

Also worth putting out there that I've seen POVs of horrendously rough woodies that make them look smooth as glass so it's never a good guarantee!

Trouble in paradise? I didn't think anything of it when they said they wanted to let their client have the major announcement but maybe they knew something wasn't going entirely to plan?

Oh good lord, this is actually happening?? I don't really buy coaster shirts but I must have around 30 TPR shirts around the place, I'm wearing my Spain 07 one as I type this, maybe I'll do a counterpart thread - not sure a thread with a bunch of pictures of me would go down well though! Good job Martin, I assume you have enough shirts to keep this thing going for about a year?

^ Especially when one media outlet is financially benefiting from the coverage...

Not included in the report is that they will also be serving the new tentdue 32 oz. coffee, and the sessantquattro 64 oz. refillable mug for just $24.99. As a tame Brit I read this as trolling, but knowing that you have that crazy 30oz one in the States I'm inclined to believe it a little bit!

I'm surprised they released a picture as well, very nicely handled by the park. It's also nice to see that all the systems worked for them, how did the fire department get there in 8 minutes?!? It's a fairly remote park as I remember.

Thanks for bringing this back up, I missed it first time round. Some pretty dubious terrible rides in there, I expect nothing less Martin!

^ Agreed. When I saw Brave it really cemented the mantra of "Story, story & story!" The film looked fantastic, the colouring was very natural and the landscapes were great, but the story just wasn't great. Definitely a mistake to make her a princess on the back of that.

^^ Nice! Are carnival getting rid off Funship Freddie with this or are they running the two things side by side?

This is a bit of a tangent but it got me thinking, I rode Manta recently and thought that the Pretzel loop is verging on too forceful. Does anyone else think it's odd that B&M make rides that a lot of enthusiasts condemn for being forceless but then they go and make of of the most intense sustained elements out there. It shows that they're not afraid of G forces but begs the question why they don't include more of them more often? Just a random thought for you all!

Yeah I'm surprised we haven't seen anything. If they leave it late I would imagine it would get lost in the holiday news.

I'm going to go with this. They already scare the crap out of me, I can't imagine what this will do to my boxers :\

^ This. By "distancing" herself from the controversy all she's doing in fuelling it. Spineless.

Pretty much any ride at Tokyo Disney, all the E tickets are absolutely stunning. I'll throw the Teddy Roosevelt bar in as a ride just so it qualifies for this, the theming is brilliant

^^ You'd really have the Mondial one? Sure you would get something that actually works?
