That happened last season! some random guy went up to the attendant as I was talking to her and showed her hs pass, she didnt know what do to and actually asked me if it was valid! I didnt really know what to say, he got on anyway.

not a clue, my computer is too slow it wont load anything

Same as marc really. I think X is coming up to its sell by date and I think it would clear enough space for another large ride such as a catapult ride, don't know what its called and I havn't got the time to look it up bu its got 3 arms and each has cables atatching to a gondola holding 6 - 8 passengers. it then releases the gondola likea sling shot. anyone know what I mean? It's on sky one's thrill rides shows.

OMG! were you!? I was the third train of the day at the front! I was probably talking to you at the enterance of the queue?Everyone saw the bird fly away and about a quater of the guests trying to get to stealth noticed it anyway. Stealth had a shutdown yesterday due to overheating.

Staff were getting briefed yesterday.

It was, engineers were up the top sorting stuff out. A few staff members hinted it will be open by the weekend.

Went to Thorpe today, BRILLIANT DAY!Park much more empty than expected, less than 3000 in the park before 10:30, pretty quiet all day.Stelaht didnt open until around 11:30 due to a BIRD caught in the cables running from the peak of the top hat to the floor. They sent multiple trains over the try to scare the bird and make it flap and fly free and in the end it did. Staff wern't telling guests it was the bird that was the problem and I was told not to point at the bird which was obvious flapping around everytime a train went over!2 rollbacks today.Queues didnt exceed 45 mins on anything. Only rush closed. Due to open very soon.

was I there then? :S was that when me and James had a hissy fit because there were second row places on the train we were trying to get a place with beth and sam on? lol

lol

Good old Zapp!

I loved the theme tune ended up singing it today in English : Slightly embaraced, Oh well :DAnyone remember hubbub? The guy in the lighthouse?

Takeshi's CastleMythbustersHubbub?Bodger and Badger?

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmarmite :DBest on toast

Because the fanta jacket is waterproof incase it rains and because I felt like it? Sad or not I'm not bothered.

Went to Thorpe along with James and Beth, and Sam. Walked round with Joe, Seb, and Holly for a little while Met a few people. :D3741 in the park. BRILLIANT weather, loads of sun and it felt like May! Train taken off Inferno, probably due to the pretty dead queues.Rush Having its cables put back on and, being tightened.Ride Count:Colossus - 1Detonator - 3Fish - 3 (12 circuites, because we're cool! :L)Loggers - 1Inferno - 2Quantum - 1Rumba - 1Samurai - 1Slammer - 1Stealth - 1Teacups - 1Vortex - 1Xnwo - 10 (don't ask why...

I agree with him! I do it all the time, takes me like 30 seconds because I end up counting

Took a trip to Thorpe today..Park population was around 8,000VERY COLD! Colossus testing with full train of dummies until around 12oclock, opened to public and then stopped on lift, they managed to get it working and got the train around the track like normal. Engineers were doing stuff to the base of the lift hill. Samurai closed all morning with a cherry picker up and down to it between testing. Opened around 3 oclock. Colossus then evacuates queue and re-opens later in the day. Witnessed 1 rollback on Stealth today, saw a train in the rollback / failed launch position from the Inferno hill.Watched Time Voyagers again, alot better than first time, Still prefer Pirates 4D though, so did the staff I spoke to!Last day of Head rush and watched all 4 Jet Ski shows to take photos, I was offered to take photos from the back of the boat during the show but they arrived just a few seconds after the show had begun and so I didnt manage to get on anyhow am in contact with them so its all good. Arena show was fantastic if you missed it, I'm sure other people who did see it will agree!Ride Count:Inferno - 2Quantum - 4Zodiac - 4Rumba - 1Time Voyagers - 1Samurai - 1Maximum Queue Times:Inferno - 45 (2 trains)Stealth - 45 (1 train)Samurai - 35Colossus - 90 (almost queue full)Slammer - 15X:/ No Way Out - 30Detonator - 20Vortex - 30Zodiac - 15Quantum - 5Loggers - 5Rumba - 10Depth Charge - 5Tidal Wave - 0 (Open with riders in the snow! MAD!)Anyway that concludes my day

atleast they can still get some income from the zoo, good idea really.

Oh sozzles, I was excited! what do you expect

Chessington open until 29th December this season!

hmm, did it last about 5 minutes, because we took cover in X and something was hitting the roof with quite some force?we went in there at about 5 just as the thunder started.

Hail? :S I didnt notice any.one thing I really loved about the today is the ramps for the 'Head Rush' event were in the stealth area parallel to the Stealth Diner. Loved the way it was so in your face and had a great background, as joe's photos show.

seems like they cleaned out them pipes aswell! I got jetted in the face by 10X the amount of water than pirates had. hard to focus on some parts of the movie.

Very unimpressed. Half the movie you can't focus your eyes on, other bits you cant understand whats being said. No real end to it like Pirates, Has Credits and says 'GARDALAND' at the bottom of the credits.Dissapointed

You know your a fanboy when you sync your phone to play the nemesis inferno dispatch theme at the same time it does in the station
