Thorpe Park Trip Reports
Stealth's a bit of a bugger with two trains on the ride computers and shizz One train isn't that bad though, its not like Colossus where you have to wait 90 seconds longer to get on the train, only like 20.

Slammer had a cherry picker for a short while when we were walking past. You and the bloody Rocky Express Holly Slammers new restraints are still in their protective covering though.

Closed Rides
Rumba was running a very limited amount of boats on Saturday so I would imagine that its now having the rest of the boats added and tested before it will reopen.Rush and Slammer seemed to be getting special attention on Saturday as well so will hopefully open soon. Detonator I hope will be open for the TPM meet up on 24th, looks as if they only have to reconnect the cables and get its tests done but it may need more stuff done I'm not sure.

Favourite lesson at School?
At our school you can do Photography as a BTEC subject in Sixth Form. Our school is pretty big on media as well I suppose.. we got a new media suite with 40 PCs open in January, although it hasn't actually been used for Media Studies yet cos we completly whore it up during Geography!
