How Busy Is It Going To Be?
1) How the hell are we supposed to know? Just think about it and try and make an educated guess yourself.2) If it's ready to open in the morning then it will open in the morning. If it isn't ready to open in the morning then it will not be open in the morning.3) If you're trying to ask 'Will Stealth have no queue in the afternoon?' then the answer will be no. Stealth is usually fairly quiet until 11am, as everyone else's first instinct is to run to Saw/Colossus and that side first. It's why I've always avoided that side of the park until later on in the day. You will probably be able to get a few Stealth rides under your belt early on in the day, but as midday approaches Stealth will just get busier and busier I'm afraid. However if the park is very busy from the off then Stealth will simply have a queue all day, from the very start to the very end.

Chessington General Discussion
He/she has joined the word 'it' and 'is', and when joining words like that (or a contraction like you said) an apostrophe needs to be added, in this case between the t and s.Let's get back on topic shall we?...

I believe there's an apostrophe in 'it's'.

Thorpe Park Trip Reports
I think Thorpe have been much better this year. Stealth is the only ride which has been having continuous problems, and yes really none of them should be, but it's a massive improvement on previous years. And the park have worked hard on restoring old effects and theming as well as adding new things and they've done quite a lot more general park improvements this year. Also the staff have been as fantastic as usual. I think you're opinion on Thorpe is more to do with you getting bored of the park (I'm in the same situation), rather than it simply being in a state because it has improved a fair bit.

Have you been on all the rides in England then? But yes it is open.

It was fine all day on Monday.

Video Games.
Indeed the 1st Gen games were best in my opinion, I quite enjoyed the 3rd Gen, and the 2nd was ok too I guess. I've yet to play any 4th Gen ones (e.g. Diamond, Pearl, SoulSilver, HeartGold) due to not having a DS.Once the whole sharray of new pokemon came along for Ruby and Sapphire I became completely lost.

SAW: The Ride
The problem I have with the back row is that I'm too small and therefore can't see anything. Also without getting any wind in your face, Saw is just another 'sitting down whilst turning around a few corners' feeling. I guess this makes it extra annoying that for the last six times I've ridden Saw, the attendant has always told me to go to Row 2.

I'm pretty sure you will have, but you just didn't know that it was the dispatch theme at the time.

Firstly you probably know exactly what he means by chav. And yes you might not have seen many this year, but this was a different day, and if you weren't there then you can't comment.All your points might be fair or even true, but what point are you even trying to make? That because 'Saw: The Ride always has breakdowns' that now it's fine for it to keep having breakdowns?

I have Blue yet I chose Charmander. He is now a Level 99 Charizard. :DSquirtle is pretty awesome as well.

But Red and Blue are effectively the same.

Chessington Trip Reports
Reasons like this are why fanboys confuse me. They complain about everything breaking and nothing working, then they go to a theme park and then intentionally try and break something else.

Of course you'd know all about sackable offences, eh Steve?

THORPE PARK: Rainy days
What you say makes sense and I believed that until I had a day Chessington last year. It was during Halloween Hocus Pocus and the day before we went, most rides had queues of at least an hour. The next day when the weather was hideous until about 12, the longest queue I saw was about 2 minutes.

Th13teen
But if what Benin said is true then it's currently doing just as badly as Saw did. (And Thorpe haters, please don't interpret this post as me saying Saw had good reliability, because I don't believe that. Since I know you all love to do that nowadays.)

Thorpe Park Trip Reports
I have a general question. Why is everyone turning every single aspect of the parks into a mass Chessington vs. Thorpe gang fight? Chessington and Thorpe aren't even that comparable since they're both tending to completely different target markets, and each one is a success in their own different way.

Thorpe Park Open-Weekend Meetup - Sunday 21st March
I'd basically like to repeat everything Mark said. And seeing Mr. Nine himself added something extra to the day. This just made my day.

Tbf, I'm not defending Thorpe. Stealth has been abysmal this year, in fact the whole of Thorpe has been abysmal in terms of breakdowns. All I did was point out the ridiculous queueing time for one of the most lacklustre ride experiences of the century. But yeah, if you want to get personal, fair dews to you. I hope that makes you feel better about yourself or something..
