Its from M&D's! Welcome to Perks! First up was a Zamperla wild mouse! Tom is not looking forward to it Here we gooooo! Ugh, Standard sign! turn me round! Wee! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Hmmm, what is this? Can you tell yet? Any idea? If you guessed it was 1 of these wacky work/big apples Its actually a speedy Gonzales! This pace was sooo ghetto! Hmm what does this do... holy Crap! it spins and jumps! time for the long drive to Waterford! We stopped in Limerick for a bit and saw the stadium that Ireland played last night img]http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs196.snc1/6610_136760342779_728732779_3314371_1449888_n.jpg[/img] If you look carefully you can see people cleaning up. But it is mainly a Rugger stadium Back on the road and we went past the castle! I think this would do some damage if it was on the road! Concealed eh? Random town pics en-route Not far to go, and we enter some back routes for some fun =D Kinda reminds you of Alton =D But for miles! We made it to Tramore! Oh god! Noooo It spins! Another spinning mouse hitting the spin... Frisbee! Ahhhh, Classic! Another Big Wheel! Ok, its another one of these, but it is slightly different! Its a mine themed one! it did have wider seats =D Standard traveling Log Flume! Then there is this ol' beast Look at that goodness =D It gets my thumbs up before even starting! Loooooooooooooop Up it goes! weee Turn As it was sooo good, we went for a second go! Drooooop Enter the loop =] Down the drop Whole Ride After that we headed back to Dublin for a quick rest up But since we were in Ireland, we had to drink =D 14th August Last day was just traveling home. We killed a few bugs en-route We took the car back to the airport, and waited for the bus back to the airport Random Ryanair plane taking off Now back to the airport, this is the new T2 Before we went we got a drink from the bar at like 10am! Caught our respective flights back, and headed home for a nice long rest =D All in all it was good trip =] Oh, 1 last thing, we took these photos in Tramore Not forgetting =]

A little while ago myself and Shockwave decided to goto Ireland to ride their coasters! 12th August After a late finish the previous night from work, and only getting about 2 hours sleep, I find myself at Stansted airport awaiting for my flight to Dublin. But first was breakfast at 4am! Well I polished that off =D And a nice brew After a little bit more of a wait to be allowed to check in, I got through security and straight to the gate. As it was the first flight of the day, the plane was here, and on time! Here is the beast that is taking me to Dublin. Not much later we were in the sky Thats Baldock down there Also passed over Bedford, but the batteries died as we were going over =[ But I thought this was nice Now in dublin! On time too. And bye-bye plane! I had to hang around in arrivals awaiting for Tom who was coming in from Manchester. Once he arrived, we went to get our hire car from Hertz. A nice red Fiat bravo. Then we were onto our first destination! it was onto Bettystown, home of funtasia. but we found the road signs a bit american We found Funtasia, and Tom did some awesome parking Welcome to funtasia! It has various arcade machines, but you can pay for them upfront with a card. And there were several rides indoors as well. We found out that the roof section which had their coaster was not open till 1pm! Which was not for another couple of hours. Bad times =[ We decided to get some brunch from the local shop and sit on the beach. There was this statue too It finally got to 1pm, the top section was open! There was some strange rides. And a bounce tower But we came for this scary thing! Decided no to sit at the front Mid ride Now we head back to the UK, specifically Northern Ireland, and some 'normal' signs Saw this just about everywhere! After a couple of hours of driving we get to Port Rush, and NI's only park! As we enter we are greeted by this... The Experience! There was a better sign of Barrys inside! Straight through, find out the prices and we hit the first coaster of the park, Pinfari looper! Tom is bracing for pain! Wasn't too bad of a ride, normal pain, and fairly slow! Now for the second wacky worm. But this one is a Big Apple! But it also comes with a frog! it is quite a big apple! Tom decided to do the Freak Out Now for another photo of Big Dipper Thats a crazy Freak Out! There was also a Ghost Train Scary! The rules!

Since we were nearby, we thought why not! There we go! Giants Causeway! Just very Rocky! But amazing! Time to leave, and a lot of flags on the houses! [im]http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs176.snc1/6610_136760122779_728732779_3314335_7973562_n.jpg[/img] There is no actual sign for the border, but it is around here! 100km back to Dublin! And we crossed a awesome bridge! After getting lost in Dublin trying to find our Travelodge, this is our huge room! Had a bit of a balcony As we were both tired after all the driving, we just crashed out and got some sleep before longer drives the next day! Day 2 coming soon...

Hey guys, hardly post, but I thought this is a unique trip to share with you! i will update over a few days as I upload photos, and there will be videos by the end of it too! This trip was with CF'er 10WaTT, and we meet thx (from CF) while over there. Day 1 - Travel to Finland! So day 1 involved us traveling over there, unfortunately there was only 1 flight per day, and it was a late flight. So we start by looking at our plane parked at Stansted! We got on board, and decided to be at the back of the plane. Once we got going we chilled out and played Mario Kart for about an hour =] Flying high! We brought ORP props, but only 1 ride through out the whole trip had ORP's working but we didn't bother Sun setting Coming in for the approach, we come over the city, whats that over there! Its Sarkanniemi's big ass observation tower!!!!!!!11111!!!oneone After a quick taxi ride, we got to our hotel, and this was like after 11 at night. Tea and coffee making facilities! After this we had a quick walk into town to find the train station for the next day, and it was still very light. We saw some cool things too. Went back to the hotel and slept ready for the next day....

Crazy day trips =D Oakwood Alton Towers Drayton Manor Camelot Liseberg Sarkamini Europa Park Port Aventura Thorpe Chessie Adventure Island (Southend) Flamingo Land Lightwater Valley Polish park (Features American Adventures old Twin Looper!) And a few more =D

Nice updates Robb. Was nice meeting you back on Tuesday, even it was only brief. I have to agree that Stampida is waaaay to rough nowerdays. Shame about the wi-fi eh?

Sorry for this late reply, me and my girlfriend are going to be in Port Aventura on the 3rd July. If we see you guys, we will be sure to say hi, and I will be doing a video lol!

So me and my girlfriend Emma decided to head to Disney during our week off, she hasn't been before, and been dreaming of it. I have put it on a seprate webpage to make it easier, and make this topic load quicker. But here are a couple of photos. Heres the report: http://www.mushroom-productions.co.uk/disney/ Here is a video: http://www.mushroom-productions.co.uk/dlrp.wmv (streaming allowed) Enjoy

Its all down to religon. I think it is Muslim or something where women aren't allowed to 'show' themselves to other men other than their partners.

Traumat.... Infusion is fun, don't like the blue with big dipper and pmbo round it. But that was a good update Robb. Seems like you always head to Blackpool when in the UK

If you selected on the trainer 'Any Height Construction' then selected something else like 'Make Guests Happy' and go back into game, it will say on the message bar about guests happy, as that was the last one you did. Just check your messages by clicking the date, and it will have the message about any height construction. BUT, if you are in rollercoaster designer, you have to listen out for a bleep you get from the message. Then hey presto any height construction. Or you can use the handy Alt+tab
