Can you imagine snow falling on Graham Poll's naked back and would it be beautiful? What's the point of Space food? And if you were to cosmetically engineer two pigs to look like managerial dynasty Brian and Nigel Clough, which would find a truffle first? 

Those are the questions we're asking this week, and asking them with us is Empire Magazine's Chris Hewitt. Chris is the best-placed guest to pitch a ride at Footballland so far - after all he went to Alton Towers on his stag do. Chris pitches us The Graham Poll Exit Poll, a giant, naked Graham Poll posing flat out like a bearskin rug. To leave the park you must enter Graham through the tear ducts and find three yellow cards. 

Also on the agenda, Sniffing For Cloughles, the world's first truffle-sniffing based theme park ride. Climb on board a pig cosmetically enhanced to look remarkably like one of Nigel or Brian Clough. You have 5 minutes to find as many truffles as you can! 

And finally, Ryan brings us Danny Drinkswater. Legend has it that as a child Danny took umbrage at anyone mocking his name, and would challenge anyone who brought it up to a water drinking contest. Could you drink Drinkwater under the table? 

As ever, send us your ride ideas. We'll feature them all!
