Oh wow. Double fail ftw.

Reecey thinking that an intamin mega lite was SW6, and Kyle Sloan thinking that SW6 was made by Mack. Cmon guys... We can do better than this.
So, my friend came up to me the other day and asked if I wanted a frozen banana, and I said no, but I want a normal banana later, so... yea.

Yeah, because ID'ing you at the ride and only letting you on once a day is gonna be SO good for business. [lol]

And number 1 destination around the world? Excuse me?!?! It's a good park, but for christ's sake I can think of about twenty others I'd rather go to!

I was unaware of it being fake when I posted it, I was under the impression it was real, much like everyone on TT thought it was. Sorry for the mistake.

why didn't they call it Th13teen?

Also, from the press release
?????????The new technology will be the first of its kind in the world and will potentially make the ride so frightening that the Resort is considering introducing a controversial age-rating. Only visitors between the ages of 16-55 will be allowed on the ride due to concerns about emotional maturity and physical health. Visitors may also be limited to one ride per day and be required to sign a waiver which assures the Resort of their physical and mental health to avoid any resulting lawsuits."

What the love?

Ignore this, they?????????re just hyping the ride up. I very much doubt we'll see an age restriction.

Honestly I think this new ride is going to get 5 feet out of the station and immediately E-Stop itself for no reason.

I love Merlin's laughably over-the-top publicity stunts. They male me giggle inside. [:D]

I also love how much they hype up their rides. They make mountains out of molehills. Not to say this ride looks bad, cause I think it looks like a cracker of a family coaster.
Screw Commercialism. It's Dr.Gumbo, not CokeZero.
