The Smiler
I'm not really the type to get involved in this sort of thing but that black and white spirals pic from twitter, anyone else think it could be a weird font like windings that is the actual name of the ride? Tom.

SW7: SPOILER TOPIC
I agree with the above comments but surely when you read the following: ...It will make you think, "Oh un-alerted Spoiler coming up I'll stop reading now"?? Tom.

The Best B&M Coaster in the UK
I used to be a big Theme Park fan but just haven't been bothered to go to any really, Thorpe was about 4years ago, Alton twice in pat couple years but this is my opinion. 1: Air (Yes I did vote for it): It's fairly smooth and a unique experience, I enjoy it and the harness is comfy. 2: Oblivion: The drop is great nuff said. 3: Nemesis Inferno: Less harsh than Nemesis, that's all. 4: Nemesis: I easily get a headache on coasters nowadays and Nemesis is worse for that because it's not so smooth. 5: Swarm: Not ridden it simple as. Tom.

I've only been a few times, and all were with the ECC on their Trip, it's a great weekend, really lovely park. I was on Bounce once and it broke down, that was...Interesting, kind of like an emergency stop procedure, it's a great ride though, much better than any other Tower, other than Power Tower 2. It would be nice for the Park to add more attractions but I'm not sure I'd make the long drive back down there again just for the day, although I'd toyed with the idea because of Vertigo, absolutely love it and on a side note, if I could afford it & had enough space I'd buy the one at Blackpool they want rid of. Tom.

That Duck is so cute, thanks. To keep to the thread here's a really cool looking chair I want, it called the Gravity Balans.

I've said this a few times on here before, it's the same as a Zamperla Windshear or a KMG Discovery. Tom.

Adventure Island - Southend
I see where you're coming from but when sat in and the seats rotated to your right then it'll be the same sort of seating position as a KMG XLR8...Would it not? Tom.

Thanks, for the past couple days I've been wondering what the date June 22nd means to me, couldn't find it anywhere, but just remembered it's when the Tower is due to open(ahead of schedule) http://news.dorsetforyou.com/2012blog/2012/05/weymouth-sea-life-tower-opening-june-22/ I shall pay a visit some time as I only live over Portland.

Topspin, or not topspin?
No, but a Zamperla Windshear instead, like I've said before. Tom.

Nemesis: Sub-Terra
Just a quick opinion/theory, I've not ridden it and don't intend on going any time soon.In the past few years we've seen a massive increase of the use of the internet and social networking sights to promote new things, maybe it got over promoted and hyped up and people just expect too much from it because of this?It'll probably be the same for other new rides/attractions from now on, over hyped, expect too much of s standard ride. Although The Swarm is quite opposite to this from what I've read it's great.Tom.

What is that "k", a weird kind of font?

THE SWARM: Construction Updates
I'm not an expert, but maybe it's to discharge the gas to the sides and create more of a ball of flame, rather than a vertical discharge.Tom.

Did you see that BBC Documentary ages ago, it was repeated too, called something like "The box that changed the world"?Was really good, you'd probably love it!Tom.

Thorpe Park Staff
Good luck!I really wanted to work at TP when I was 16/17 and went along to one of their recruitment days after filling out an online app, sat down for a lil chat with one of the guys there. My plan was to live in a Caravan at a nearby site, but it wasn't to be :(5/6 years on I now look through this thread and think I'd like to work there again but I wouldn't be able to run my car and rent somewhere, ah well life goes on.Tom.
