My pet ghost died yesterday.

I have footage of Tidal Wave from 2002, including the water tower and gas ball explosion. Unfortunately it's on tape and I don't have the equipment to convert it.I'm more than happy to send it to someone who has the equipment to convert it all. It's a great 15 minutes of video actually. Brings back a lot of memories for me.

People will moan with some of their current circumstances of their lives because at the time, that is all they know and you have to adapt to the changes.As people get older, they will find new things to moan about. Education gets harder, but at the same time, you also get older and mature at the same level and learn how to adapt to it.Obviously, this is without doing any university work, I would say that the biggest shock for students is the leap from GCSE's to A levels.

I may be late to this, but Disney doing Mean Girls. HA!

Hey Michael! Once again welcome to the forums. :mellow:The Highlights of those plans can be found over on Thorpe Park Mania. They were released a couple of months ago, just to bring you up to speed with things.What are your thoughts on them?

Yep! I mentioned these last week from my trip report, but I think it got lost in all of the text. They look cool, it's a nice idea but the audio sounds slightly amateur. I agree with the Adabs- they do not belong outside in the British weather and were designed for indoor use!

A very old film, but I watched American Beauty last night. Wow, what a gorgeous and beautifully symbolic film. One of my favourites. Brilliantly moving.

I've always imagined the first inversion/ drop as a nod to a "nose-dive" manoeuvre that an aircraft would perform. For once, I have faith in Studios to create a pretty tight back story, either way.

Your chest measurements may be a better indication. Most of the coasters have upper limits approaching 52 inches across the chest. Hope that helps. :)Edit: also don't feel embarrassed.

Just to round a few things off from the last page.May people accept my deepest apologies if I have hurt them in any way (directly to Tom here). I assure you it was not my intention to come between two people or have a negative impact on any relationship. I would like to eventually be able to wipe the slate clean. Like you said, things have happened in the past... people have moved on, it's about time I did too. Just to clarify, I never spread any lies or endeavoured to say things with malicious intent. That's not me at all.There is some hostility between members of this forum, and if I'm being honest, some of it is justified. Some things are unforgivable and I think I can speak for a few members here when I say that sometimes, for your own safety, you cannot find it in you to move on. It's justified because some things are more sinister when you go digging than what everyone sees on the surface.With any situation where people get hurt, it takes time for wounds to heal. I'm upset with someone from here right now and they're completely oblivious to what they've done. It's unlikely that I'll want much to do with this person again but in time I'll be able to find a common ground and can manage to be civil at least.I'm sorry if I've made anyone feel uncomfortable over the last couple of weeks with the recent drama. I don't make a habit of these things.Thanks for reading.

Bless my seven year old brother in the car earlier. He asked if the Easter Bunny existed and wanted to know if it would bring him a puppy from the Andrex adverts. He got upset saying he won't come as he doesn't exist. Then I tried to cover it up as my mum don't do any of the Easter Bunny stuff by saying that they may give eggs to other children who don't have any at all.He ended up writing a note to the Easter Bunny asking for a puppy. I wrote one back, put loads of grass down on the floor and a mini- egg that I decorated with hundreds and thousands.He's so cute my brother.

To be fair to the new trains. The old ones were very cramped for people in my family and quite restrictive. The new trains make it a lot easier to load and you have more freedom. It's those air-gates that do not perfectly align with their relative rows that get on my nerves.And then the amount of time the train spends coming in to the station. Surely there's no need to stop twice?

Haha, love it Tommy!

This is kind of a rant, kind of not...Some people really bother me. That includes people from here. In fact, I am talking about people from here directly.The truth is, you never really know someone, there are times when you have to fully trust people because if you didn't, well what would be the point in that and you wouldn't be very happy.Some people you hear things about and everything is completely true, some people surprise you and are totally different to how they've been portrayed. People are full of surprises, both bad and good.Over the last few weeks I have seen several people in a new light, some good, some bad and some surprising. I don't know why I'm disappointed in some people, who have really let me down and have lost respect for them. I suppose I'm all to willing to give people the benefit of the doubt and they take advantage.We call these incidents mistakes and they give you a reality check as to what is important in life. Get a grip and take a good look at yourself in the mirror, all of you. I hope you're ashamed; I hope some people realise the mistakes they have made and the mistakes that are yet to come.

Ahh Animal Kingdom. Happy Birthday my favourite Disney World theme park.

It's an easy mistake to make! You'll be waiting a good few months for it to be moved...

It gives you more excuses to go back there Dan. I love how it's different each time you go.

I am still confused as to why this in the ride safety announcements topic and not the lovely, ride dedicated topic we have...Still, I'm loving this. Great bit of creativity and originality from Thorpe. Whoever came up with this idea needs a raise and a promotion. As long as they keep all of this up and don't let it die out like they did with the Saw viral videos.It's perfect. On park promotion- leading to thousands of people paying attention and being made aware of that website. This is how it should be done.

In the last few days, Cheetah Hunt has completed its circuit. Here is video showing the ride testing the final launch- it will run much faster once all the calibrations are complete. Glad to see how quiet the ride is too. I'm seriously hoping this things rides as awesome as it looks. Can't wait until August!
