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

It was fine all day on Monday.

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.

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.

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?

I just died.

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.

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.)

On Sunday I thought it was more intense than usual.

It's you.

I also love the new grass on the Amity Lawn and by Stealth.

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.

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..

I'd much rather queue 75 minutes for Stealth which I actually enjoy, rather than 75 minutes for a Disko which does a good job of simulating me sitting on my sofa. And Stealth was 10/15 minutes today, for the record.

LOL 2 HOURS.That's all I have to say.

On Sunday last week I had a travelcard and extension but the barriers were open for both ways, so I could have done the whole day with just a travelcard. Unfortunately there are the rare occasions when the Staines barriers actually work. =\

Ohh, that's a shame. =\ Yeah, that AP hut can be run like a real bitch sometimes. I remember on opening day 2008 when the queue went back to the car park and it was an hour long in length, because of the mass amount of people and there were only two tills in operation, one handling Annual Passes and the other handling ticket collection.

I just heard the Windows 7 sound for when an error comes up. I lol'd. Repeatedly.

What train are you getting out of interest? 8:39 from Waterloo?
