Exactly.Although I wouldn't personally use the beaches, younger children will (and also their parents).And theme parks, whether we like it or not, aren't all just rides. Rides.RIDES!There needs to be a varitation of things to do that offer experiences that you may not confront in every day life.Escapism.

LOL!!!Don't worry about it. The same thing happened to me about a month ago... but it was with a babybell wax instead of Bluetack.

I will leave my sig as ambiguous. That's why it's there :DBut now... back on to the creamy stuff......(PS I know this doesn't sound good after talking about Love Crust)

I actually don't like chocolate ice- cream. I find it doesn't taste like chocolate at all.I like chocolate in any other shape or form though :(Especially chocolate body paint. Bleugh.

I miss the blue ones!Although I picked red- fav colour! XD

I used to try and look good for the camera. Since that doesn't seem to work I just try and pull the most grotesque face I can manage.And most of the time it's not me trying very hard!Not very fun really

They are quite short. I doubt they will change for a while though.

LOL. That really made me laugh for some reason.I have a sudden urge to ride Rumba atm. I miss TR

Some of the boats have a different shaped front don't they?Isn't this what controls the splash shape, and size?Obviously those other factors have an effect too.

OMG!!!!!I'm sooooo sorry!!EEEK. I can't believe I just did that. How embarressing. LMAO.Post edited.

How's everyone's New Year doing?I've decided that I hate cheesey Pringles.Bleugh.Never make me eat them again.

^ Thanks for that. I won't tell you some of the other rides I've not been on then

I've never been on Rush also (OMG I'm such a bad fanboy).I must admit, I don't really like the look of it.

I think Seb meant that it should be changed so it is able to fit in with Amity. I don't think he was implying that it was already in Amity. That would be a good idea, think of the special effects that it could have (wwooo fire!!).Although I think it should stay pirate themed as it goes with Detty, as pirates are associated with cannons.I can't remeber if I've put this already, but I think it would be good as a live show, mixed with special effects.I just think it would give a little more re- ridability- perhaps if they had a few different shows.

There are two tracks on the Donnie Darko soundtrack that would suit X perfectly I reckon.The first being Manipulated Living- there's about 38 secs at the start of ambient, and sinister music before the main part of it kicks in, with a beckoning, strange, and quite frankly, very bizzare section of music- lasting 1: 30 mins.The second track I think would suit the queueline really well. This one is called Ensurance Trap. It starts off like the station track at first, with a very bassy, atmospheric tone and then is layered with slightly psychotic, random sounds throughout. There are a few loud noises in it too. It frightened the life out of me when I listened to it!! This lasrs for 3:12 mins but isn't too short as there isn't a melody as such. I guess it's like the Colossus/ Vortex ambience music.EDIT: Although, it would be nice if they came up with something original, but we can't be too choosey! It would deffinately be a good choice for Fright Nights if not.

Well I must admit, I've not experienced the scenario that you described, but there was one instance where I went on it in the rain. It was cold, wet (this was in August) and just unpleasant really- but still fun.Anyway, we're just about to get into the station, and the thing decides it wants to break down. There I am, at the back of the boat, stuck in the rain: cold. Bleak. Soggy.It was great. Lol.

HAHA!For once Cringle, I actually didn't mean what you were implying. lol. wow, this is history, clearly a missed opportunity there. I realized after I posted that; we already (kinda) know what's happening in the short- term, (except 2008) so I guess my post was worthless really.OK, I'm rambling now, so I'm gonna stop. I don't seem to explain myself very well

I've just remebered another brilliant moment.My aunite and I decided to go on one of the carousels in Carousel Kingdom (shock horror!). So we get on there, and I decide that I don't want to go on a horse, I actually want to go on a cup- thing.So there's my auntie, a 35 year old woman at the time (who looked as though she was alone) on a horse, looking very embarressed and sorry for herself.Aww.Thorpe used to be so good.And then Tussauds bought it (Predictable I know).

I think the fact is, they could have chosen any colour they wanted really- it didn't matter, it was approved. However, Thorpe saw the opportunuty to "please" the locals and decided to colour it white instead.Compare this to other colours (and take into consideration what the colour of our skies are most of the time), and I think white "blends" the most.In regards to the MTDP, well, it is clearly out-dated now. I think it would be interesting to see an updated MTDP, to give us an insight into what direction Thorpe want to go in.It would be good to see a STDP too

OOO I was looking at that the other night. Very good stuff Cringle. I especially like the Fright Nights-esque one.Although.... I think it's more the fact that you think you suck at things. I disagree with your opinion.

I still haven't gone to sleep. >_<The part has not long finished!!I gott be up and making breakfast in a few hours. Bleugh.... I need sleep.

I've just had a Chinease. I feel sick, but it was worth it. =]

Ahem....May I divert your attention please?

Damn I need to get a job (I really need an AP this year!!).Well, obviously something like retail to start off with. I'm actually thinking of leaving sixth form to get a job at Thorpe >_<.Although, I need to get my grades so I can study Psychology at Uni. I really wanna be an Ed' psych'. Or perhaps a Clin' psych'.Meh every aspect of psychology fascinates me.I luff it.

I think that once the 2009 coaster is built, there will be more interaction. I'm looking forward to seeing what they're gonna do with the project; in terms of paths through the place.I mean, Thorpe and Tussauds in general are known for their interactive coasters, with paths intertwining throughout the coaster. If they're going to carry on this tradition, surely Loggers will lose some of that escapism that it provides.I'm just interested to see what they do with it.
