  1. So what will happen about the giant coke can tunnel befor the lift? Will they just re-theme it or remove it completley?
  2. It's time those trains had a repaint, and I like the new look actually.
  3. God help us Think I'm going to start avoiding DMP

    Rita

    Could Rita Rollback though? It's not exactly Top Thrill Dragster.
  6. I have heard on the RCCGB forum that the Black Revolver Waltzer is going/ has gone. Room for a flat ride maybe?
  7. I have to admit it made me jump. I was right by it when it went off Do the 2 in G-Force's station building at Drayton Manor still work, because I have'nt seen them go of the last few visits now.
  8. Is this years Halloween music available to download anywhere?
  9. My last ride was on Inferno aswell.Had one of the best days I have ever had at Thorpe. The park was a bit busier than I thought it might be, but the longest queue I found was about an hour for Saw the second time we went on it.I heard someone say Whiteknuckle at some point, not sure who it was though, but guessed straight away it was someone on here.Count for the dayNemesis Inferno 3Saw 2Colossus 1Flying Fish 1X WTF 1Depth Charge 1Vortex 1Rush 1Samurai 1Stealth 2Roll on next season
  10. They need more security in the queuelines to cut out the queuejumping scum.
  11. I thought the trains on Flamingoland's version were the original trains, as they are exactly the same as the original ones on Altons version.Am I right in thinking that these pointed nose trains, AKA Flamingoland were supplied by Arrow? I went on some Arrow loopers in the States and the trains were identical.Anyway, back on topic,I think Alton does have a good future, but I would like to see a straight foward traditional rollercoaster, without all the gimmicks and the hype and one that works, because as we know a lot of the newer coasters at Alton do get glitches and stop working for a time. A good terrain hugging speed monster in the Valley please
  12. I voted for good too. I do enjoy the Vampire, I think it's the best Coaster in the park. I think it's good practically too because thrill seekers like it and also it's a good beginner suspended coaster for anyone not big enough for the rides at Thorpe and Alton Towers AKA Nemesis and Nemesis Inferno.I will be riding it in the dark for the first time this friday, and pretty excited, to be honest.Also it beats the 2 suspended coasters I went on in the states, Flight Deck at Kings Island and Iron Dragon at Cedar Point. They just did'nt have the atmosphere that Vampire has for a ride of that type.
  13. Quite lucky to have had the one on Stealth because Top Thrill Dragster operators had warmed it up before we got there, so there were'nt any that day, plus the first few trains on the ERS were only half full, bloody killjoys
  14. Usually on Inferno if it stops it means the clean up crew are on the way.Saying that though, I was there the other day and I was stuck on the transfer track for about 10 minutes, but can't actually remember why. Think that was a technical issue,
  15. I'm avoiding Thorpe now until next year, as I'm not a fan of Frite Nites, due to the park getting stupidly busy. I've done all the mazes, so nothing new really.Did like 7 though.
  16. That's what I don't get.Top Thrill Dragster is twice the height and faster and yet it only has a seatbelt and lapbar, yet Stealth, slower and lower has OSTR's.Any reason for this, or is it health and saftey doing their bit?Apologies if this has been mentioned in the thread beforehand.
  17. Had a few hours there today. The park was pretty busy so decided to leave a bit earlier.All but Slammer and Tidal Wave were open. Queues were 45 minutes to an hour when we noticed.Rides we went onNemesis Inferno 1Colossus 1Saw-the ride 2Stealth 2X:// WTF 1, with lights onRapids 1
  18. Who's argueing I think I watched about 10 minutes of one show, some year, then turned off.
  19. I think we all had a great day Rich. Will pop by in the next few weeks.
  20. Just to say thanks Rich for a great event.Even though there seemed to be a slight glitch with the Waveswinger, all went well. Semed weird riding it backwards, great fun though.Peppa Pig site looking good aswell.
  21. Wasps don't get to me.You leave them alone, they'll leave you alone. Never been stung in my life because of thisEnd of.
  22. I've had a shuttle to myself on Oblivion, first ride of the day on Rush, everyone else was walking by, so they let me go, several on Logger's Leap and also a car to myself on Rage, adventure Island.
