SeaWorld Orlando (SWO) Discussion Thread
TPDave replied to disneygurlz2s's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I fundamentally disagree that it's bad press. The only people that seem offended by this are people who can't be bothered to look at the whole issue and just want to jump on a bandwagon. I would hope (maybe naively) that the majority of people would take a more measured approach and not think negatively of performers who choose to do shows at the parks. But yes, that would be an epic gig. I'd try and fly out for it -
Holiday Park Discussion Thread
TPDave replied to devol4's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It works really well at Alton, hopefully it fits in here too. -
Best Theme Park Chain
TPDave replied to vertgforces's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
That's not really an "although" point, it shows that they are the ones to beat that everyone is trying to imitate. -

Fantastic argument there, not flawed at all. -
I'm a novice boarder, I'm note sure I'll ever become proficient as I don't go very often but I have fun

Love the star on Blue Fire, great picture -
Ken's Random Adventures of 2013 Trip Reports Thread
TPDave replied to kidcoaster 2's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Did they have this in Florida? I've never seen them before, love it!! -
SeaWorld Orlando (SWO) Discussion Thread
TPDave replied to disneygurlz2s's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It's so annoying to see all of this. The documentary is a one sided account and people feel they have been given a balanced view of the situation. Someone who really card about the subject would research the other side of the story. Hopefully they can get other acts who aren't so prone to knee-jerk reactions to perform instead. -
How do I keep seeing this every couple of years?!? Too. Much. Manboob!

Christmas Tree Ornaments – Theme Park Related
TPDave replied to OISU8P's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I've got all my theme park ornaments from Club TPR, I just need to get a tree now!! -
Best B&M sitting coaster?
TPDave replied to rcjp's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I would probably say Kumba, I just don't buy into the whole floater air thing. I "like" all of the big B&Ms that sprawl out over acres of land but I don't "love" any of them. -
Burritos for me, I like burgers (and am on a Five Guys fix right now, I'm sure it'll die down eventually) but the slow cooked burrito fillings are awesome. We're also getting more burrito places in the UK so they're becoming more accessible as well

I've been binging on the offspring for some reason lately! All I want has been on a fair bit, probably because I loved Crazy Taxi and the song reminds me of the game

PortAventura Discussion Thread
TPDave replied to Shockwave's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Wow, that development looks insane! Hopefully it'll be a really good boost for the area. This mystery ride looks pretty cool as well, if it's a splash battle that's a good scale to do one on! -
What Rides Scares the Crud Out Of You?
TPDave replied to EuroTre's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I don't like the instant you go to free fall, so the start of drop towers and sky coasters are my most "brown pants" moments! I guess that's why I enjoy them so much, you get a kick out of it! -
Photo TR: The Kiwis Do Texas Midwest 2013
TPDave replied to mattnz's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Nice update Matt! Thanks for sharing -
A dark ride on the Spiderman/Darkastle system would be really cool. Again it comes down to demand being there for the ride, the show certainly has extreme fans but maybe not so many casual fans as some of the other franchises picked up by parks. Then again we have a ride themed to the Saw franchise in the UK so I guess any tie in is possible!

Skyplex Orlando Discussion Thread
TPDave replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm looking forward to the unique ride experience here, also intrigued about how they're going to block it (or just have a lower capacity). They said groundbreaking ext year so I assume we're looking at a 2015 opening? Maybe even later as it's a huge structure. -
Legoland Florida Discussion Thread
TPDave replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The trains look great, very surprised by the height restriction though. Legoland are all about family experiences and tailoring to a younger audience so this seems odd. -
Hansa Park Discussion Thread
TPDave replied to Gutterflower's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Wow, a big investment for a great park! I can't wait to visit this park in a couple of years and see they amazing theming that we know they're capable of! -
I'm watching the live stream of the RCCL event right now. I know it was pretty much confirmed before but it looks like we're getting Anthem out of the UK. Slightly odd presentation so far, they've got the philharmonic playing various "Anthems" to video of British cities and RCCL destinations. Hopefully we get some info outside of the realm of stuff already out there about the Quantum class!!
