Mer

It finishes saying "Good luck tomb blasters, we need you back in one piece"

Yay animals! :DBABY MEERKATS!!! I saw some little capybaras too, not sure how young they are, but the meerkats were tiny! And one of the adults ran up to the window and started running up and down, think it might have recognised my coat and thought I was about to feed it or something. I was like "Sorryyy, I work on the rides!"Next time I'm at work, I'm visiting the tigers, see if they have any cubs!That's a bonus of working at Chessie, you can look at the animals on break, and look at the cute l'il babies. You don't see SAW or Vortex producing furry little babies do you hehe imagine that!

Spot on!Plus Chessie has the zoo! Yesterday when I went on break, I went to visit the meerkats THEY HAVE BABIES!! I love animals, so think it's great I can go and look at them where I work, I imagine it could be quite relaxing and a relief on a busy day, or if you're not having a good day. I've already noticed a huge difference between working there and at Thorpe. I'm finding it a lot easier to talk to guests, because most of them are families having a fun day out, and not teenagers causing trouble. And they have been to every ride and ridden it, instead of being told it's closed :PThere are some great members of staff at Thorpe, I'm just commenting on the difference between working at the two parks.

Haven't got much time so just a quick post lol. Managed to get on SAW today, after the bad luck at the weekend! Was absolutely brilliant, we were only at the park for a few hours unfortunately but I'll be returning tomorrow woop! The first drop was very forceful! Theming was fantastic!

Was at the park for a few hours today and got a picture of Slammer at the top. It was going up and down all day apparently. Only got it from the start of Colossus bridge as we were in a rush hehe.

That's a good point actually. They found out that the long cycle on Zodiac didn't actually make much difference to the throughputs, and that's about 5-10 seconds or so longer than the short cycle, as a rough estimate. Ask Rob, he'll know :)And having the extra two swings on Rush is probably about the same amount of extra time.But hey, maybe there's other reasons behind it, who knows.I'm not gonna explain why I love Rush cos it'll take too long one of the things is the weightlessness, especially if you have the bar quite loose!

Thrills East 2007 tbh :)Best unit managers, best RACs, best ride hosts.Especially the short hot girl that worked on Samurai, eh Marc?

Red!Erm roast chicken or roast beef

Awww sorry!Shouldn't have got it in the way

Yeesh! Scary photos! :PWell I had a really fun weekend! Obv disappointed I didn't get on SAW but the comp tickets were great! The little things like going on Carousel and Tidal were part of what made it so fun.Though SAW and Colossus clearing their queuelines at the same time, followed by:CCR being closedCash point being brokenAmity hot dogs being closed.KFC having a sign up behind the counter stating hot drinks were unavailablewas just funny :)All the pics are on Facebook as usual, but here are a few...I know...LOL!They all look happy.Somewhat cold and wet after Tidal!

Ewan is indeed awesome!I like the spikey haired guy who operates Zodiac

A SouthParks member has confirmed it was open today :)YAAAY!*ahem*

Yep it has been on a good cycle all weekend ;)The shortest it can be is 7 swings, I believe. Meaning the 7th swing is the final full height one before the the cycle starts coming to an end. Don't know what the most is it can do/is allowed but this weekend it's been doing 9. Judging by the ride length and the video I got from the queue

I don't think people should say when SAW is going to open unless they actually know 100%, which I doubt they do because even the staff didn't yesterday, I heard loads of different things and the only one that came true was that it was highly unlikely it would open. Although, TPDan is right, it did nearly open at one point. Me and some others were waiting for nearly 4 hours and saw quite a few things that suggested they had the intention of opening. And yes, I know, 4 hours is crazy...but some of us hadn't been on yet and we didn't mind waiting, was quite fun actually! I don't know where this two week thing has come from, the major issue has been sorted so it could be back open today for all we know. Sorry but it's annoying reading through this and seeing people bickering about when it's going to open again.Oh and btw staff rode it last night, saw it from the car park. They were weight testing before anyone starts complaining!!Not that it all went to plan

I haven't slept all night.And no not because I've been excited (although I am), but for other reasons which I don't really wanna discuss here lol.Rockstar energy drink all day! :DI'll be getting an earlier train so I probably won't see you guys who are getting the 8:28 til we're at Thorpe. Also means I miss out on "This is Twickenhaaaaaaam!" hehe. But I need a hug right now and Rob is on the earlier train to work :DI feel sick right now, probably because I'm normally in a deep sleep at this time! Marc, wanna sit next to me on Nemesis Inferno like last time?

I'm not just excited about SAW, but also going on Samurai and Rush again woo! And Tidal Wave Shame about Stealth though...but hey! We have loud, rattly, vibrating Colossus! And horsey Quantum!!

I just got the e-mail wooo! :DYeah I knew the orange kiosk was advanced tickets and I remember the final booking page mentioning it, but I couldn't remember everything it said. But makes sense now, if I was to collect them there, go to advanced tickets collection hehe.But it also mentioned the ticket machines they have now.Oh well, now I've got the email I just print it off and they will scan it! I thought they would be normal-sized tickets but it's a whole A4 page, made me laugh

Woo defiinitely attending! :DThing is, with all the online booking issues Thorpe are having, I haven't got my confirmation e-mail yet (can't afford to buy a new AP yet so booked online ticket). I booked last night on my laptop when my mum was asleep, printer is in her room...so couldn't print the page from Rialto or whatever it's called! I took the reference number though...I thought they were only having issues with the AP event tickets and not generally which is why I selected print at home, but seeing as I haven't had an email yet I'm thinking the whole system is messed up. But then if I'd selected the other option I still would've had to pay £1.50 soo meh.I'm confused about where I go on the day, I really should know but I don't!

I'm up for doing Tidal Wave (if I go) on Saturday! Hehe...if I can Tidal Wave Green at Adventure Island in December then I can Tidal in March! Shame Rob isn't reassessed on it, we could all have hugged him when we got off

Twynersh!! :DThorpe staff's local

Well the Sun's article is even worse!http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showb...icle2315864.eceSilly cow "I spent millions on my big FAKE tits and I don't want to ruin them by having fun on a rollercoaster!"Sorry but that's just pathetic! The joke's on her, with big things like that bulging out of her chest she wouldn't have been able to fit on the rides anyway, should she take the risk

Heh ok.It all depends on money as to whether or not I can go. *fingers crossed*

That's mean! But funny hehe.Ooh and if I go (still not deicded yet lol) I'LL be getting a train as well! From "Clapham Junctioooooooooon!" to "Staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaines!" SWT man kicks ass B)Marc can give me a lift to the park from there

When you guys were debating if they went on the ride or not, I'm assuming you're talking about the lunchtime report (as in the evening one we clearly see people on the ride), where three girls (look liked chavvy girls as well grr!) appear to come off the ride, yet they don't seem thrilled at all? I thought that straight away, fair enough if they're not allowed to give away too much but they had no enthusiasm or anything! Just "Yeahbestrideeveaaar."There is an event on tonight...dam shouldn't have said that, cos that reveals that even more people have been on before the Ride It First winners

Hehe great photos!I have loads but can't scan them right now, but I'll link to some I already have online...Me, Rob, Gary and Marc on Logger's Leap at Fright Nights 08Grr my hood looks crappy, stupid coat! Marc looks funny Me and Rob on Oblivion in 07I prefer the top pic!An old Vampire picture! I was 9, sitting next to my next door neighbour, with her son behind...and next to him you can just about make out my brother screaming One of the funniest pics I have is me and Rob on Stealth, where we're both pulling faces...he looks so funny...but it's a fridge magnet! Blast!
