    Also, you tend to start paying interest on a Student Loan when your income hits a certain level anyway. It's always good not to be saddled with the extra debt.That said, Uni is one of those life experiences you can only really get once, so if you have the opportunity to do it you certain should, I feel.

    Now to defend my comments on Dragon's Fury- the staff weren't trying to get it back open- it had been abandoned. Totally Left. Although to the staff's credit team Dragon's Fury was split between Dragon Falls and Tomb Blaster to keep them open until 8. (Both of those rides were scheduled to close at 5PM rather than 8). But they were making no attempt to get it open. Granted it wasn't that busy- longest queue 30 minutes for Vampire but that isn't my point, they had it closed and they didn't make an effort to get it back up and running until Saturday. Were either of you at the park on Friday? Thought not so why do you think that they were working on it- I spotted 1 man working on Fury that day and I saw 2 trying to get The Bash St. Bus up and running (Demand eh? :P ). In brief- they abandoned Fury and didn't make an attempt to open it for later that day but to their credit they kept Dragon Falls and Tomb Blaster open until 8 instead :blink:

    What a load of ****. Sorry but you're talking out your arse.Not going to bother with a long reply because I know it will go in one ear and out the other. Basically, you're wrong. You don't know that no work was being done on it, just because there is no visible presence doesn't mean nothing is being done. They could be in the workshop, in the compressor room, under the station, in the control box, behind the transfer track, any range of places that are out of public view. I was on park as a guest on Friday for 4 hours or so and walking past Fury saw two Engineers both in the station and later on up the lift hill, just because they weren't there when you were doesn't mean they weren't there all day.Regardless of visible presence staff will always work to re-open rides ASAP, but this isn't always logistically possible. The recent problem with Dragons Fury was a mechanical one, so parts may have been needed to order and/or be fabricated and fitted, this takes time. Do you really think anyone at Chessington wants the additional grief and negative exposure of having one of our best rides closed?In brief - Yes, both I and Mark were on park Friday. Yes you are wrong. No it wasn't abandoned.

    Fair enough, that is your preferance, but there is nothing to say that you can't appreciate other people's viewpoints. Or perhaps you could look at it yourself from a different point of view, look at what the ride did in terms of boosting the industry and how much of an icon it's become. How it has become surrounded with nostalgia for many and is still an enjoyable experiance.As you said when talking about Modern Art; just because one person says it's crap, doesn't mean it is. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but should also try and look at the world from the point of view of others.Perhaps you could apply that in this case.
