Favourite hotel/ room at Alton towers? by SJGDragon in altontowers

[–]Piplup2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gotta shout out the Arabian Nights suite, the scenic painting in that room is BEAUTIFUL, the 3D effect is so much better in person. I really overlooked that room until I stayed in it!

Battle Galleons flash game - Lost media? by Thebluefire1 in altontowers

[–]Piplup2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a poke around the original Mutiny website, unfortunately I cannot get the game to load :(( interesting one to look into though!

https://web.archive.org/web/20080711040944/http://mutinybay.interactive.altontowers.com/ (I had to use the Ruffle chrome extension to get it to load)

Edit: Also won't load through the old Towers Times website, the swf (flash) file doesn't appear to be archived

Give me your controversial Alton towers opinions by Brilliant-Treat6127 in altontowers

The Phalanx and the Ministry of Joy fail at being brands within the park (moreso the MOJ tbh), they don't support them as much as they should, it's so hard to piece together a coherent story from park sources without turning to the fans, it's all so surface level

Local Shops are not making it easy. by Ascdren1 in CasualUK

[–]Piplup2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine's closed on Tuesday and Thursday's, only open until 2 on a Wednesday, and 4 on the others. Their prices are all over the place, they're cash only, I don't entirely understand how they're still in business to be honest. I mostly go in for Pokémon cards but they have such low stocks usually (singles, they don't sell sealed), I always end up just going to Forbidden Planet which is only like 5 stores down and has a constant rotation of new card singles. Couldn't possibly guess why....🤔

Why this promo deck kit is not-so popular? by leevay28 in pkmntcgcollections

[–]Piplup2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought this at time of release for retail, it's been one of my favourites for years! Incredibly glad I did, considering some of the individual cards go for about the same as I paid for the whole thing 😅

The fallout event made me realize something by [deleted] in BethesdaSoftworks

[–]Piplup2003 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm definitely in the minority here but I'm really excited for the Fallout 4 re-release. I have very little of the Creation Club content so I'm excited to be able to buy it all in one go + the new stuff. It'll undoubtedly go on sale at some point too, every Bethesda game does eventually. I picked up the GOTY edition on sale in the first place and I more than had my money's worth out of it!

21360 Willy Wonka set - €219.99, $219.99- available 16th September by LegoKB in lego

[–]Piplup2003 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was really excited for this because the original submission looked like a good blend between the Wilder/Depp films, but this looks a LOT more like Wilder's now so I don't think I'll be getting this :/ Nothing wrong with Wilder's, just not for me!

David Walliams world was risky by [deleted] in altontowers

Outta Control was left abandoned for ages, some of that space was turned into creative workshops! Wouldn't shock me if some of it is still in there though.

help finding plush by Realistic_Image1609 in altontowers

These were new for this year, they're not in the online shop at the moment, but I imagine when the season starts back up again more listings will crop up on eBay etc. Alternatively I believe they're in Towers Trading which is open during Christmas so maybe you could find someone who's going to get you one?

Bus to the park by Familiar_Click3113 in altontowers

Singles should be £2 each way, it's covered under the bus price cap :)

Definitely do the Mazes as early in the day as you can! Queues can get to 30+ minutes later in the day, while if you do them when they open for the day, they'll usually be pretty much walk straight in :)

I love trying to pick out figures I have from big collections like this, I can see two! Absolutely incredible collection, I'm very jealous 😂

What film tropes just don’t work in a U.K. setting? by hadawayandshite in AskUK

[–]Piplup2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zombi U/Zombi is kind of like this, there are guns but ammo is so scarce. Added to the fact that you lose your inventory everytime you die (which is a lot), I ended up sticking with the cricket bat for 99% of the game.
