Well James6 posted this list:- Nemesis, 1 train- Oblivion, constantly breaking down- Hex, few effects working- Duel, Same as Hex- Runaway Mine Train, Running extremely slowlyetc etcThis is very near the complete arsenal of major rides which Alton opened for Half Term. For Alton Towers standards it's pretty poor especially considering these are the only main rides which guests can actually use. Because they're barely giving them one ride which isn't breaking down continuously or running at full capacity or have all it's effects working, and they're not giving them the full Alton Towers 'experience'. Yes during the main season things aren't going to run 100% all the time but it's puzzling why Alton would open their gates for the first time in 2010 with the park in this state. You're right. Thorpe made a mistake in opening for February and it also meant that maintenence couldn't be carried out properly whilst the park was open during the week. Opening day was a disaster, but I went the next day and bar Saw: The Ride which was having it's new ride symptoms of illness and Stealth which was waiting for it's new part still, everything else was running fine and by the end of the first week every ride was operational. So the only mistake I see Thorpe made was opening for February, because they knew that half the rides wouldn't be ready, which is what gets me. I'm not complaining about rides having occassional problems or a new ride not running as smoothly as it should, but it's when parks know that only half the rides will be 'ready' and can probably predict more breakdowns and problems. Why open if they know that nothing will work properly?

Completely agree, what's worse is that it seems that the rides which are actually open are clearly not running at their best, whether it means constant break downs or limited capacity. It might not be the parks faults that some of these rides aren't operating properly but they should always take this into account before deciding to have a February opening. If nothing is fully ready then why open the park in the first place?

Same really, I'm going to be avoiding SAW Alive like the plague all year and it doesn't look like I'm going to get to Alton at all once again this year. The only things I'm looking forward to riding again are Vampire, Fury, Stealth, Detonator, Rush and Inferno. And seeing people again, of course.

I hate Winter with a passion.

Random thread is random.......

Yes, but what could you actually call a 'sign' of someone calling you?

AND ZOO.I concur that this is related to the topic.

What if, I don't care?

What if the pizza guy goes over a drain, flips off his bike and faceplants into the police car? Eh, EH?!

Well if it was a normal pizza, then I'd say probably the pizza guy. But considering it's a very confusing pizza, I'd agree with Ryan and the police would arrive first. Duh. However it also depends on the situation, for example: how far away the police station is. I could go on...

I have Vista on my dad's PC downstairs and I prefer XP by far. Much easier to use and more reliable. And I couldn't give a crap how old it is. XD

SAW is more poo!

The exact same thing happened at our school, except there were 3 different hate groups. :)It is quite worrying to know that they're actually trying to follow what we do on facebook now.

I still have XP and I still haven't had any problems with it after 5/6 years or so, in which case I'm still not upgrading yet as I have no reason to.

SSSHH. I'd fight you to the death argue back more but this is the wrong topic.

I HOPE YOU'RE NOT BEING SARCASTIC.But the Colossus lift hill noise is awesome. (not as awesome as Paramore though )

The novelty of working on the same rides day after day would wear off quickly. Then I'm not so sure you'd be very motivated anymore. Knowing you've made a guests day that bit better would probably be more motivating in the long run.

Try not to worry about other people in relationships, half the people in them will probably only be in them because they feel pressured that they should be in a relationship because everyone else. It's one big vicous cycle.But I'm basically in the same situation as you, so you aren't alone on this. I've liked this person since June last year, and there've been times when apparently they've liked me back but I wasn't sure, so I ended up being too cautious (however it's spelt), and so went and messed that all up. So now it's going nowhere again, but I still like her so much. :\I also agree with what Mikey said.

Mine still hasn't changed. Not that I really use Facebook much anymore so I don't really care.

Marc needs to do a lot of list updating.

For some reason, this made my day...Not in a mean way though.

I now have tickets for Them Crooked Vultures and Arctic Monkeys at the Teenage Cancer Trust concerts at the Albert Hall in March. !

I just realised I haven't posted it in here yet...Hayley Williams <3. I'm not the kind of person who has any real celebrity crushes, I mean I'm 15 and she's actually my first one ever.

I've met David Tennant, Catherine Tate, a few footballers and other sports people, Matt Helders of Arctic Monkeys, Richard Hammond, and a few more which I don't actually remember of the top of my head right now.The one person I'm determined to meet at some point in my life is Hayley Williams.

But if you're going to a concert to see a singer, surely you'd want them to actually well... sing? . And saying she's good looking is your opinion, not a fact. I don't think she's that good looking. And surely being 'good-looking' isn't an excuse for not being able to sing? But that's off the point.
