  1. **** you cold weather. I now have a mighty crack in my car window... something I can't afford to replace so it will just have to stay put for now... ****ing distracting as its right across the drivers side.
  2. Back in the day, probally Art. Could actually do something remotely interesting. Same for Six Form.The worst was ether Maths or PE. I would normaly leave Maths with something broken or with a fruit of some sort in my face. PE was boring as I skipped every lesson with an excuse for all 3 years in the school.
  3. No. The Beiber is annoying. Cheryl is pretty and a nice girl, but I just can't obsess over her...I don't do what most people do... thats my reason.
  4. ^Well they have permission for rides on the islands of X and Y hights. The previous plans given to the council were approved. If those rough plans were approved, its highly likely the real designs will get approved, surely? All the council would probally give one about is if theres a change in max hight, the visual impact, the after effects of this new ride (more traffic, etc) and estimated noise made.
  5. New York is always the centre-piece of apocalyptic disasters in films. They should do that. Blow up New York and just set it in the 80's just to make it unique (with epic 80's music, **** yeah!). Cloverfield: the ride!I've just noticed there is something like this idea:They could do with another american theme, lol. Its not like the whole park isn't on that continent! with Amity, LC, Canada, Saw, etc.Tbh, I could go back to my own original idea with a ride called "Storm" themed in a similar manor. Shame they nicked my name for that other ride...

    Your Thorpe Park

    This is comming straight off the top of my head, looking at the area completely fresh. Just thinking about Pirates 4D/TV building. Get rid of the pirate theme. Theme it to an old 50's american movie theater. With neon lights and funky shapes, with all the 50's styling.A couple of images.http://www.flickr.com/photos/pbo31/galleries/72157622895681625/http://www.kwflausa.com/photos/key_west_theater.jpghttp://airbornecombatengineer.typepad.com/photos/decatur/decaturtheaturgsuimage.jpghttp://farm1.static.flickr.com/22/32071230_842c6e0567.jpgI'm sure you could imagine that sort of thing rapped around the corner of the building themed to Amity. Always found it akward walking through a 50's country village to meet a pirate area thats basically a building with a few cannons...And sod it, make Det like a cheap TOT out the back of the Amity Hotel. Build a dividing piece of theming overhead between Calypso and Amity, to distinctly seperate the areas. Inferno/Monkeys/Rumba and the multicolored shops to follow the Caribbean idea ^.-------This is drastic, but Stealth to be re-themed out of Amity. It is just too far away from the actual main area to be part of it, if that makes sense... give it its own theme. Something totally different to 50's, a town, raceway etc. Maybe something based around the current name? Futuristic Stealth technology? hint hint Yeah I just shat my thought process out.
  7. drop and the last bit mainly. Its so Gracefull, yet so Fast and theres so much Freedom. The queue atmosphere is epic, as was the early 2000's music.Oh and just to piss on UK parksThis is how loud music should be and how fast a queue should move. Maverick:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bj_tAk1_qq8 to find a video that discribes how aggressive it is is hard. It beats the **** out of you, but its so fun. Rita's first corner X10 = every corner. Its ****ing funny. Again queue line atmosphere is epic and you know what? The queues actually move unlike any UK ride.Atmosphere:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bi3Gk3I3pW4Then theres Dragster. Again amazing. Awesome station atmosphere that gets you pumped for a break down. 2/3 times I did it I was stuck on it. One sitting in the car for 15 mins, one on manual going backwards. Still awesome. It was cool hearing the voice of someone my dad went to six form with, Republica's lead singer. Twister:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPtDqPiknaEThis is ****ing awesome even if it hurts your legs. Notice the pumping atmosphere again that is set.Lets jump out of Cedar Point now, and lead ourselves the the dump that was Waldameer, PA out the back of the trailer park near the graveyard. (Litrally it is like that). The park where the entrance is a hole in a fence.But it does hide this awesome beast. So it was worth being shot.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usl83zmoCQEThis the the best video I could find that discribes the rides pace. Ignore the screaming and you will survive. Maybe.

    Music

    I liked "Only Girl" when in first came out MANY months ago, but recently its been overplayed a rediculous amount... so it grates now.Its ended up like Americano. I liked that before it became popular...

    I noticed on my last go (we stacked for ages) that there was white, round LED lights between the fans on the brake runs. I take it your on about them. It would be cool if they could add lights and audio that you can only see/hear from parts of the track. Use lots of cloth walls.Lazers, UV objects for headchoppers, stage lights, tunnels of lights. Really R'n'RC if I had my way lol :DKinda excited to see what they do.
  10. Seeing this picture really ****ed me off.http://www.themeparktourist.com/sites/default/files/images/Saw%20area%202.jpg
  11. Seen or met:Hoosiers @ Virgin Day 2007 - Stood with them at Stealth + watched there early morning performance in the dome.2 from the Saturdays @ Stealth. (Una Healy and Mollie King).Had a hug with Lenny Henry up the BT tower @ while being a runner for Comic Relief.Jessica BielBradley Cooper Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson Liam Neeson Sharlto Copley Christopher Parker Alex Reid (such a *****)Ralph FiennesPark Related:John Wardley x2 (Saw station + Th13teen exit)Candy Holland in Saw station (if she counts?)I think it was idiot Kinzel (one of the old big names) from Cedar Fair in 2008 in a reastraunt @ Sawmill Creek, OH. I heard him with others talk about a big new project for Kings Island and mentioned KBF. Ended up being Diamondback I guess. Probally more...
  12. ^ Yeah. It was in many bits yesturday. Seats off, stripped right down... green crane doing bits...
  13. Well I'm very achey this morning after yesturday. The Terror Zone looks pretty with all the lights and effects, making the area full of life. But as an attraction it was ****. Hellgate - CrapCurse - CrapSe7en - OkAsylum - Good! Did this with only 2 others so we got attacked a lot ;)Ride/Attraction Count:Stealth - 7Rush - 10Inferno - 10Colossus - 8 (1F)Det - 5Saw - 3Loggers - 2Fish - 1Depth Charge - 1X - 1Zodiac - 1Vortex - 1Quantum - 1Samurai - 1Rumba - 1Hellgate - 1Saw Alive - 1Seven - 1Curse - 1Asylum - 1Scare zone - 159 attractions.
  14. I got a little question about Inferno. Does it have a B&M Inspection Ball? Like this:There are a few others with these too. Just wondering...

    ^^ That would be the exit path I believe. All I remember from it was the smell of sick :rolleyes:On another note, I'm sure I remember the funky/tacky entrance path with lots of UV elements and slightly blue ceiling lamps. It was litrally pitch black other than that and very fun to try walk down back in the day. All the strobes in the ride area made it a bit more entertaining.

    And the crappy rope light path.
  17. Well going by my ride count yesturday (10am - 5pm day obv), I think I had a very good day! The park was the deadest I have ever seen. I had most things done 44mins into the first hour... Fury - 20Vampire - 8 (4 Front)Rattlesnake - 5Kobra - 4Monkey Swinger - 2Tut Tut - 1Lorikeets - 1Falls - 3Tomb - 1Rammy - 3Mine Train - 3Bucky - 354 Rides/Attractions. Nice to see little effects added around the park, like the smoke on the mine train boiler, that budda pond has a misting thing going on in the water and the dragon proper pumps out fog too. Its the first time I've ever heard the Falls dragon roar (with chimes after) in seaquence with boats too. Taken with phone so excuse the quality...http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/9054/photo708.jpghttp://img835.imageshack.us/img835/4866/photo709.jpgI now have many bruses and ache a lot. But it was worth it.
  18. They have been on for ages? If your talking about the L shaped design. They just make the restraint less flexable, and thus less likely to snap when being pulled down. The ride still needs T-bars...even if they arn't as practical for loading. The ride would be that much better.
  19. I would also love to know when Stealth isn't playing up for nearly whole days as I refuse to visit untill its working. It makes the day total crap without it. Thanks.

    Rush

    When I went last went it did 9 swings on my first ride, then the 7 swing setting on every other in the afternoon.Anyway something random. You know Rush's 2006 theme tune? I just noticed a sound effect from it in:Who do you think you are? Intro/End: http://www.televisiontunes.com/Who_Do_You_Think_You_Are_-_Ending.html (17 secs)And very quietly in Bad Boys 2 Film score: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTFde4yTPdcI take it nobody else ever noticed that stuff?! The bad boys one is almost like a remix of Colossus beatbed and the 2006 theme lol.
  21. Haha I bet you watched Watchdog earlier :unsure:The wasps the other day wern't that bad really. Just don't react to them and they bugger off eventually.
  22. I liked the way they closed the front queue path the other day and just opened the gate in the station for front row wanters. Ment that not many people were waiting at the front and it stayed open untill the last few trains of the day. Got 3 front-row rides
  23. The 15 person rule was in place yesturday when I turned up at Samurai if that aids the situation in any way... I couldn't get a ride within the first 30 mins of the day...Rules can be broke... yes...
