Chessington Trip Reports
That's exactly what my friend that works there said. I don't know what area he's in, but he was on Dragon's Fury last sunday, and he want's to go back to Transylvania.

Samurai
If I ride Samurai, I like to see if I get an outside seat, as I feel it's a better ride. I do like the ride, it's just that it's a let down sometimes.

The Flying Fish
The close proximity of the bushes at the old site did give a sense of greater speed than the new site. They need to do some planting at the new site to make it look more like it used to.

Future Of Canada Creek
I don't mind what the future of CC is, although I do like it as it is. I find it's one of the quieter areas of the park, although now with Saw in the area it could get busier with people heading there from Calypso Quay, Amity ect.

Samurai
I was in pod 1, but just remembered why I had such a poor ride. Does sitting right on the inside affect ride experience, due to the fact that you are travelling less distance than on the outside.

Alton Audio
Is the new Katanga Canyon theme music available for download yet?

Samurai
I think in future I will watch a full ride before joining the queue, just to see if it's on a good setting or not.

SAW: The Ride
I noticed that too. It does'nt seem to slow the car down though, which is good news. It must be cars they have'nt had running on the track as much as the others.Oh yeah, Alfonso doing the SRQ was brilliant, he knew what exactly to do.

Samurai
Went on it yesterday (29th) and oh my God, it was lame. Good views of Saw though

SAW: The Ride
I went today, and used the single rider queue and it seemed to work pretty well.

Vortex
True, but at least on Maelstrom you get more of a chance of a decent ride, as it seems to spin a bit a bit more than Vortex.
-
SAW: The Ride
And Kumali Anyway, back on topic. I do hope Saw is open either saturday or sunday, as my Mum wants her one ride only to tick it.She doe'nt like Eurofighters

Park Theming & Effects
The tower over the entrance gate needs a bit of work done to it. The old paint is peeling off and looks more Phantom Manor than entrance to Thorpe
-
SAW: The Ride
Yeah, they made me jump first time aswell, and I was right under them. Went there with the RCCGB today, and thought Saw was an average ride, but with decent themeing. I don't think it's as good as Speed at Oakwood, but the inside drop took me by surprise, though I knew it was there from construction pictures.Kept breaking down again though, but that meant that we had our club ERS on it in the Dark, because of the length of the queue they had to get through.
