So we admit defeat and accept things such as Sept 11th, 7/7 are somthing we just live with?Not a life id personally like to live

Because we are at war with these people, because of the 1000's of innocent people they have killed. The people of the armed forces are there fighting for us, our freedom and to stop the atrocity's of September 11th ever happening again. If we pull out now, we will have lost the battle and these monsters will continue terrorising us. Because I'm not in the Army.

Why? We are at war with monsters who have killed 1000's of innocent people in attacks such as Sept 11th, 7/7 bombings, along with many others, and failed attacks which would have undoubtedly caused 100's more innocent people to die. That is why I feel its important that we finish of the war we started and defeat those responsible for the attacks.

Its a war, loss of life is an unfortunate part of that.We have to stay in and fight till the end.

I not sure on that one, but I guess they didnt expect what happened in the states to happen! I think its important who ever wins that our troops are left there to finish of the job they started. Would be an awful shame for all those who have died in the conflicts to have died for there country to just pull out at this stage.

Started in America!!

Tories are scaryLib Dems are no where near ready to run the country.Labour FTW!Although not all that sure they will win!

Visiting next Sunday.. Any one know what rides are broken? :)Serious note, huge thumbs up to Thorpe, all rides are running fantastically so far this year (Yes even Stealth now!)Hope this continues into the summer and beyond!

I'm pretty sure Thorpe hit over 2 million last year...in fact I'm certain :)Either way interesting to see a rough guide!

The pools are still there with water just no waterfalls =[

Mc Donalds! Mc bacon roll in morning, hamburger at lunch and nuggets for dinner, I do it regularly!

I find saws "roughness" to be a very different kind to that of any other ride ive been on, unless something has changed I personally cant bare front row Saw, I get a massive headache from the second drop, and then a few other parts around the ride despite never actually smacking my head against the bar, where as rides like Colossus, Stealth where there's sometimes evident vibrations, (no way are they "rough") its perfectly easy to brace your self against it and have an enjoyable ride.Saying that I know many people dont seem to be effected by the Saw jolt, but at the same time know many who are, its kind of strange really!

Very good trip to thorpe today...Few things I noticed!Hi to Josh C!Colossus- Its so quiet and smooth now, it sounds like its new, not sure whats happened!Reliability - Fantastic, only ride I saw go down was Stealth for no longer than 10 / 15 minsQueues - Good, park was reasonably busy but queues were kept down by staff working hardSaw Alive - New music inside, sounds pretty goodInferno - Mist seems to have kind of died, shame hope its fixed soonRide count:Stealth - 3 (2 front) - Amazing ride :)Colossus 2Detonator 2CCR 2Quantum 1Slammer 1Rush 1Fish 1Carousel 1Inferno 1

Sound check complete.

You seemed to miss the points I have made, can you tell me how this is discrimination? If the team has had concerns raised to them, we are in a position to act and do the best for all of our members. Being official changes nothing, I can assure you that.

Not the case atall, we are well aware we are not able to stop anyone seeing anyone, and we are not trying to do this. That is up to them. As said, we cant stop any members attending the park, we have kindly asked banned members do not attend the mania hub events. Thats up to you, we are not in the position to discuss the reasons behind peoples bans to anyone on here, its not fair on any member in question. I'm intrested to see why you think this is discrimination, as a forum and community we have a legal obligation to do what we feel is best to protect members and visitors of the site.

They did, the pool was repainted again this year too.

The one good thing about the Tories is they sound like they really want to get people who are off work and sponging of the government back into work, and helping them do so.Apart from that wouldnt trust them as far as I can throw them, the economic recovery is important, I think ill be voting Labour!

break a leg

Its in answer to some concerns to us which were raised last time. I dont really think its that unusual that banned members are are asked not to attend the meets.

Sorry..

Not close really, ones pretty much at the end of the circuit!

We do always advise you think before posting, not after =]

Out of interest, what do you base "Failed miserably" on? The fact the marketing stunts get so much discussion to me says there doing exactly what there meant to, fanboys have very different opinions to that of the GP

That artwork on thorpes facebook is fantastic, best bit of artwork from a theme park in ages IMHO, very impressed. Regarding the marketing stunts, usually there all pretty good, IMO the best for me was the Say No To BO, for it to be the most read story on the BBC is one hell of an achievement, it got people talking (not only on coaster forums!) and the park hit capacity the next day, doing pretty much exactly what its meant to do.
