It's general physics that any item dropped from a height will fall at high speeds and hurt. Simples. It's a mixture of H&S and filming the ride. Some just have it out, others film the ride even if they have a tight grip on them. In a past experience, one brave staff member scaled up Blivvy just ...

I'm sure Sam will win the funniest topic more than once this year.

Who would of thought that I'd be saying this, but I agree with Kim Jong Un.

That stress announcement is oddly placed, either make the "stunt" in the Summer where many can go or with The Swarm's heated pre-opening day publicity. It would of been a nice follow up to the "horrific terror" of armless dummies. Anyone know why they chose now? It sends a bit of...

Even the font for the new ride reminds me of something in a food product. It looks friendly, but the ride looks all dull and gloomy! Make your mind up BPBPBPBPB. Anyone got some images of the train.

Not a bad idea actually, seems like a top investment that could be used in the MTYDP.

People only get ideas like this from having a day off!

Does seem a bit grand, American and tacky for Alton and the locals would reject it, thus making a hefty development process.

They've been there since FFAC opened. There epic and I think they should do the same with Fried Chicken Co for Blivvy and SW7.

It's upsetting that a attempted suicide would happen in a family theme park in such grim circumstances, but I cannot understand how nobody noticed. I'm sure we will have cameras on the Fried Chicken Co./Rehydrator building now. Was the ride closed for the rest of the day then? And does anyone know i...

Choosing Stafforshire as your accent that you are currently reasearching words in English and using TTF as "important reasearch".

DRAYTON MANOR! They need some BIG MERLIN MAGIC! Drayton are basically trying to rival AT with their new hotel and planned waterpark. And many future top scale attractions planned just next door to Alton. Would Merlin really want more theme parks closer together? MERLIN MAGIC! Looks like you haven't...

If Merlin invest in BPB, that is a extra park to maintain, and BPB needs big additions each year and keeping to this would have to mean cost cutting around their others parks. Chessie has always been treated badly by it's owners and I can only fear the worst if big additions are expected for Thorpe,...

Try telling that to Pleasure Beach Experience!

I think there is more chance of Merlin getting Drayton than that!

Happy Birthday TTF!

I'll celebrate with some milk... because all the cool kids do that. I made a Victoria sponge today for the sake of TTF, so I guess I could toast with that.

Here's to TTF!

I'm sure we have a topic somewhere like this in the archive... buuuut. I have one almost stood out of the Flume Tub for some reason soaked with my mouth wide open.

I doubt there is enough room in Katanga for a large scale show with minimal cost. Merlin/Alton wouldn't want to spend big money on glitzy shows. The stage looks too big for the potential space in Katanga, maybe relandscape the Rapids' queueline. But I do believe that the main focus of entertainment ...

Something to "soak" (if you'll pardon the pun) the Master Blaster's queues would only be a bigger slide to be honest, if the rumoured Waterpark extension goes ahead, it could be the potential area for development, near Flash Floods is a good place to work out a entrance for a slide. I agre...

I have an entire SEGA Theme Park in Fandom, Stelios

Does yours have a hotel?

We must have a topic for this. Should I make it?

I could actually imagine a Angry Birds hotel, shaped like the structures in the game.

If only there was such a place themed to Nintendo or classic arcade games, etc... Don't get me started. I've made a whole Nintendo theme park in fandom. On the subject of gaming theme parks, a port of the Asian SEGA park in the US is rumoured, and I'd love it to happen. Angry Birds park looking goo...

I don't think they'd bring back anything with actors at the HH due to the abuse they were getting in Scarefest 08. Hitting actors with fists to inflateable hammers. I remember seeing people running through it and freaking out constantly and lots of screaming, so it worked. But bad PR and actors inju...

have to admit, something like the 80's concert was a really good idea and all the people who attended really enjoyed the concert, however it wasn't overly advertised but maybe they could do a show like the 80's concert again?? but maybe a 90's/2000's Maybe to celebrate another anneversary for the p...

Interesting bit of fluff here.... Can anybody remember when we usually get the first Scarefest announcement? It was late August with the attractions announced last year. You can find the article at the TowersTimes news with the official annoucement from Alton below, but the line up was then bolster...
