I may not be the longest serving member of TPM, but I've been here long enough to know that that is not the way to get sympathy, Phill was trying to reason with you, but then you were adamant on arguing your point; which, lets be honest, was rather pointless. (ahem, Project Val? )And please don't double-post, just click the 'Edit 'button :DAnd I'm sure Phill has posted comments mocking other people's quotes, but never agressively, only to get things that have got out-of-hand, back in order.It's best not to argue with the Admin Team, they run the place, and if you upset them or they see you upsetting other members, they'll suspend you, just read the guidelines...Now, back on topic: can anyone estimate how deep the Dive Loop trench is? Is it deep enough for the car to go underground for a decent amount of time, or is it the kind of trench that is just there for a bit of scary themeing?

Halloween! (at Thorpe )K'Nex or Lego?

What, so like a fake choker around your neck or is that a bit too drastic? If it is then there's always a spiked body-clasp. They're fun

Japanese,Strike or Bold

Well, you could at least get the lyrics to Disturbia correct. Any idiot with a brain stem would be able to hear that she sings 'PUT on your break lights', NOT 'throw' and 'Disconnnected, NO-ONE CALLS', NOT 'disconnectin', your call' :PBut anyway Sebastian was being annoying in some poeople's eyes but you've really got learn to laugh at something like that.

Does anyone think that the trains may have some spikes or blades on either side as part of the themeing for them? I would really hate Thorpe to use standard Gerstlauer cars, but then again, would Lionsgate want something they spent millinos on themeing, to be ruined by some kack cars?

Middle of the picture, the 'loop' after the Drop is the Immelman Loop.And I'm guessing that Mondial will pick Samruai up after its been dis-asembled.

Well, the island is really only big anough for SAW. So why have a completely separate island for with a new name and theme, with only one ride on it?I don't think that Samruai will be re-themed into anything to do with the SAW films, just a simpler sawmill-type theme, movie calaborration really only works with roller coasters.

That's really put me off my dinner, Mark. :)Good Good!

I'd like it if there was a buzzsaw (round serated blade) underneath the Zero-G Roll, so that you could see it, obviously. You'd come screaming round the corner and get rotated round so your head is in the position to be cut off., (but you narrowly miss because H&S will shut it down if someone is deliberately killed)GOD! H&S is always over-acting! Even the smallest thing... >:)Ooo, what fun

Let's just hope the SAW themeing is actually that goodAnd I've just realised - the man in the video strapped to the chair has the same blood-stained back as the man that flashed up in the previous videos (Discovery and Statment)But I still see no relation of 'SAW' to 'Dylan', Maybe there's someone calles Dylan in SAW 5?

I don't really like the name, the 'The Ride' part just seems to crap all over the menace of the word SAW. But if we're getting SAW quality theming for this ride, the who am I to complain? O Joy

Yeah, sorry I did actually know that, but people would've chewed my head off if I didn't some credible evidence - Sorry :)A re-theme would be nice though.

Lawrence Wells (who has a very reliable source of information) is from TPG, and someone from THORPE PARK's Behind the Loops Competition, told him that Samurai would be sent back to Mondial in Holland at the end of the season, to be re-furbished aswell as re-themed into Canada Creek. It is likely that it will be given a new name, and there is speculation of it operating on a faster setting when it comes back. Although no-one has confirmed this due to the Top-Scan being a fair-ground ride and so was not manufactured for constant everyday use. I really hope that Mondial are able to tweak the systems and controls of Samurai to make it withstand the wear-and-tear of everyday use on a faster cycle.*fingers crossed... again*

Anyone else noticed the steepness of the exit from the Immelman Turn?http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/1443/sany0274oa1.jpgShould re-gain a lot of speed after that hair-pin twist towards it. Fun Fun.

Top-Scan, they're more intese than a Top-Spin (when run on a good setting)S&S Sreamin' Swing or Fabbri Kamikaze?

Sandy,Huss Breakdance or Huss Troika?

Car, Sawmill or Abandoned Mine?

Christina any day, Mariah is just tits and arse,Scrubs or Friends?

I've only just realised how tight the Dive Loop actually is! Take a look... Clicky-wick - http://www.thorpeparkguide.com/archives/pr...os/oct08-18.jpg

The Great Depression, because its come and gone so we don't have to worry about it!Hillary Clinton or John McCain?

Ever watched 'Just My Luck'? I hear that in that film they class modern art as a pile of s**t being squirted out of a hole every now and then. Gotta love it

You got owned by Marky though!

I know what you mean, but Samurai has always seemed to be poking into Cananda Creek, and with the opening of the new coaster, Samurai is actually cut off from the rest of the Lost City, some a re-theme into Canada Creek wouldn't be a totally pointless investment, as it would look really out of place with a Log-Flume one side and a dis-used Sawmill themed coaster on the other.

You really think so? I think that if Samurai got re-themed (rumoured... apparently), Buzzsaw would suit Samurai more, as it is remotely circular, and if Thorpe gave Samurai a black coat of paint, put a silver, metallic serated effect on the Samurai pods to make it look like a buzzsaw when it is in operation, that would be great - much better than the out-of-place turquoise and red that it is now.
