Glad you all enjoyed it guys, although the most thanks must to to Thorpe Park, not me! If anyone would like to put a little something together saying thanks forward it on to me (simps100@gmail.com) and ill make sure its passed on to the park =]

Its something we may look at once we have looked into a few other forum issues at the moment!

You can bring a friend thats fine, he can attend the ERT if he wishes to do so too =]Sorry for the confusion!

The grand stand would have looked nice, but nasty to queue in I expect.

Yes

Sure thats fine, ill add you to the list =]

I was there for the later openings trial last year, yes it did die down but thats no real surprise. There wasnt any mention anywhere around the park apart from on small laminated signs on some fences.

Hey guys,Just to let you know Chris has recently joined our moderating team to help us out =]Sadly, due to other commitments out side of TPM Craig and Jack have recently left the team and we wish them all the best luck =pCheersMarc

The fast reply is open at the bottom of each topic now, with no need to click any buttons to show it.Signatures are the same as they were, we dont allow people to add images/alter text size etc to keep things looking tidy and to speed up loading times.

That does work now yes. Is that what you meant Theme Park Bloke?

Today we have hit a huge milestone and we now have 1001 registered members.We just wanted to say a huge thank you to you all for your continued support!

Thanks to the new Lift Hill rails, below a certain point its alot easier to evacuate Colossus now than it once was. Ive seen Colossus restarted on the lift hill this season with guests on many a times.

Do you mean images in signatures?

Its not as easy as just extending the trains! Room its self is ok, the older restraints you had plenty of room to move around, its the restraints, which are designed to stop you being able to move your legs out of the train which make it feel cramped. The front 2 seats of each car have much more room than the back 2.

Dan ,Do you not see:Next to peoples posts? This displays all the info you mentioned, along with the warning level if applicable.If not let me know what browser your using and we will look into that.

Well hopefully the way the system works, one or two people who dont take it seriously wont be able to affect your overall voting. But as I said, we will only really know this after a couple of weeks of useIf anyone has any errors with the skin (things not looking quite right) could I ask you please provide a screen shot, Heres how! and upload it to http://imageshack.us/. Also let us know what Operating System and Browser you are using, this gives us the best chance of getting things fixed =]

Its just an additional feature of Invision 3, we are yet to go over the admin pannel fully to enable/disable what we feel we would like to keep on. As said, many times the forum skin is not completed yet. Functionality should work exactly the same as it did in the past forum, by the button to view the last post in the topic do you not mean http://forum.maniahub.com/public/style_images/clean/new_post.png ? If so it may take the board a while to catch up with what you have / have not read but I can assure you it works in exactly the same way as before. Again as above, its an additional feature, and something we have looked to implement before on the older board. The feature is moderated and also limited, users have a limited number of votes per day. We will look at how its going in a couple of weeks before we decide if it has a use here or not. And newer forum software makes this easier to do, the new software offers many advantages in moderation, particularly regarding the reported post option which many users use. Again, the skin is NOT 100% finished. If you could help us out abit by stating where the bug is, perhaps a screenshot that would be great. If you dont want things to look pretty simply scroll down, select IP.Board Lo-Fi from the drop down of skin selections. =]

Remember it was a very early model of the Launch coaster, Stealth will have had many changes from which Intamin have learnt along the way.

It appears in the orange bar when you have a new message, along with a popup on the screen.

Its impossible to run 2 different forum software's side by side. We will look into ways of improving speed though.

This cant happen on stealth from what I understand, the channel where the cable goes is totally different.

No need to be sorry, we all have an opinion!What parts of the skin are more confusing/harder to use compared to the old one?

Can you tell us what parts about the new one you dont like please? Is it the skin (looks), how it works?What parts are you finding confusing? We have upgraded to the latest forum software, whilst there are a few changes its generally the same as before, with new software we have created a new skin. The new skin fits in better with "Mania Hub" style, where as the old one was primarily designed for only Thorpe Park mania in mind, with no consideration of CWOA and Alton Mania.

Can I ask what your confused about? It all works the same as before but slightly different style . Be more constructive please!

How? TBH from what I saw SRQ slowed down the rides dispatch times rather than increased throughput with ops needing to call sr's. The stations busy enough as it is and the disabled path is far to narrow for SRs also.
