Colossus
And the fact some areas are getting quite overgrown. It's called "Lost City" for a reason. I'm loving it the way it is.

Stealth
All that hype and excitment, just to find out it's a CHIPPY Being an American Diner, I would've thought it would've served that style food, not bloomin' fish and chips.

Warwick Castle
Went years ago, very interesting, but not really my thing, no rides.
-
Scorpion Express
Hence the reason why I'm not in a rush to go back to Chud Chesington. To me, that park is going downhill fast.

Drayton Manor
I was thinking the same thing about the ride footprint area. Probably like that for H&S

Thorpe Park Trip Reports
Me and Mum went yesterday, mainly to pick up our new AP's, but also for a bit of a birthday treat. Got to the park, and knew it was going to be busy, and we were'nt wrong. Aftetr queueing for about half an hour for the new passes, we headed straight to Swarm, to find out someone had covered it in a pavement pizza, so they were only loading one train and giving the other a spin dry. Eventually we made it to the station and got a front row. Fire was going off every 3 trains or so. Mum then brought me a beer in the Dome and then headed down to X, yes, I LOVE this ride now, did 2 on there, then headed to Inferno, where the mist was really thick, never seen that tunnel look so good and both geysers working in the pond under the loop. Next over to Stealth, and the queue was minimal, but still only decided to do the one. Did a last ride on Swarm, where I got a birthday hug off a Swiss girl in the queue, and headed home about 3ish. Not many rides, but still had a good day

Phantasialand
Very impressive looking ride/themeing. I went to the park the year Black Mamba opened (2006?) and it made even Alton Towers look like a travelling fair, so much detail.

Nemesis Inferno

What Was The First Big Coaster You Went On In The UK
The first coaster I ever went on was the old Wild Mouse at Funland, Hayling Island with my brother, and hated it. The ride that got me hooked on coasters was Indiana Jones at Eurodisney. Was the first time I went upside down.

Submission
I personally won't miss Submission. It was uncomfortable, especially when they leave you hanging up the top, very jerky and can't remember the last time they operated both sides. Just a shame the only flat ride will be Enterprise, but I still find those old school rides enjoyable.

Scorpion Express
If I do get there this year, It sounds like I will be on Vampire for most of the day. Used to love DF and RMT

Starflyer in the future maybe?
And possible low capacity issues? Have been on the one at Knotts Berry Farm, was actually quite un-nerving.

Filming onride
I have been to a few of the Six Flags parks, and only had trouble in one of them, probably some jobsworth with nothing better to do. Can't remember which SF park it was though.

Filming onride
Not as bad as Six Flags though. I got told off for videoing OFFRIDE and was asked to delete the video. I would'nt mind, but it was only a Vekoma Boomerang. PS. I did'nt delete the footage I have filmed a few woodies in the USA and they seemed happy with it, as long as it was secure (Family owned parks)

Chessington Fire 21/12/13
Used to use this place when me and mum rarely went to the park. Didn't it used to be called the Alpine cafe or something? don't mean to seem like a numpty, but we only go to the park once every couple of years, so was'nt aware of any name change. used to love their jacket potatos, with tuna
