The first drop looks pretty good! Nice report guys, I'll have to fly out to Canada once Andrew gets to the UK and try this thing out!

Nice! One day I'll get to visit Shane, I can't wait!! Dave

I'm really impressed how decent this looks given the huge sponsorship behind it. It seems far less branded that I was imagining. Hopefully the interactive stuff isn't as gimmicky as it comes across.

Truer words have never been spoken! Nice pic Hanno (even if it is of a terrible ride!!) Dave

After seeing the girl with the dragon tattoo, I've got the stieg larsson trilogy. I'm saving them for a holiday in a few weeks when I can just sit by the pool and read them all day!

How did I know that picture would end up in this thread?

Looks like both the wether and the crowds were decent, bliss! I really should read Tokyo Disney TRs, it makes me sad I'm not back there! Some really nice pictures here, thanks for sharing. Dave

Less than $200 from the $15,000 mark. Congrats people!!

I haven't been to a gig in ages! Last was Reading festival last weekend so I'm glad to be approaching some more soon! I'm seeing Kanye West & Jay-Z, Coldplay and Blink 182 in the next couple of months. I can't wait!!

Dara O'Briain is my favourite right now. A really clever guy with a super fast sense of humour, his stand up routines are great!

Just found out that on Friday I'm going into London for the launch of a new branch of a super car club. I'll try and get some pictures, it should be good!

Nice! It'll be good to have an excuse to make the trek up north for this next year. I like this park, but when I went we only had half a day so it would be nice to to it fully and go and see the animals etc.

Ha! I remember talking to one of the staff members (I think it was the PR lady) and she described the ride as having "attitude". It didn't take long for me to agree! Hanno's pictures aren't always flattering, but they're always good!

I think something similar has happened at Chessington in the past. Must be a british thing. Dave

I'm convinced that apocalyptic themed rides are only done that way so that when the theming gets destroyed by guests it still fits in!

^ I think there have been quite a few "in-park" relocations, Elissa was asking about moving to a different park. This had better open somewhere else, I still don't have the credit Dave

Great idea Hanno, this is going to be a massive nostalgia trip for me! Dave

If you're only going to the park one and you want the full show, you're best bet is to wait. While you may get it on a soft opening the signs clearly state that it might not be running fully (or at all!) so if you only have one shot, wait it out.

Joe, those are almost GTO wheels, NICE! I saw some nice MINI alloys the other day, slimline but not so much that you can see the crappy "innards" of the wheel arches. Trying hard to resist spending pointless money right now! Dave

That's almost trolling levels of special.

^ Andrew, I quite often get coasters and MagLev trains confused, it's an easy mistake to make

Great report William, really detailed! This looks pretty cool, I'm a big fan of the Spiderman ride system (they need to license it to some European parks!) so any new addition is a good thing in my books! Its nice to see that all this time after the 2009 west coast trip when the building was under wraps it's finally open(ish!). Dave

Great Update Divv, probably my favourite of this whole TR. These pics come as close as any to get across how amazing this place is, I have no idea when I'm going back (but it has to be sooner rather than later!!). Great TR Divv

^ Yeah I think it is. Looking good! Is the construction causing much disruption in the park? I doubt it's as bad as DCA! Dave

This looks pretty cool, better than i was expecting for a new school B&M.
