*scratches chin thoughtfully*Ooer.Indeed.

Has never been to Thorpe.THE OUTRAGE!

I cannot get over how close to the ground that curve is! Nice to know The Swarm ticks many boxes already: interaction, proximity, speed, height, and potentially G-Force as well. Looks so smooth!

My best guess is that it was because of the cost of running it. It's the only feasible option other than it's being removed to make way for some monstrous flat ride to be squeezed in in the near future.

The nearest proposed flat ride space to CCR is Miss Hippo's Fungle Safari's old spot. It looks like such a tight squeeze. But then again, this is Thorpe...

Halloween? Isn't it lovely that Florence + the Machine's new album on Halloween? That's all I'll be listening to to get me in the mood. Mind you, I've already heard it.

Oh, Ryan's post was a joke? It didn't look like one.

Members are reminded to make their posts as easy to read as possible for other members to fully comprehend your post. If the use of shorthand could be avoided and correct spelling, punctuation and grammar could be upheld it would make the Moderator's jobs much easier, and it would also make posts easier to read for other members as well.

Reading back, my posts are a tad trivial... :blush:If I ever stereotype (I openly admit that, for the sake of arguments only, I do), it's not in the sense that I wish to wholly offend, or at least, not without a little bit of satire in there for good measure. I stereotype mainly because it makes it easier to address as certain 'type', as it were. And in a society (let's take my school, for example) where conformity is converged with expensive branded clothing and a rebellion against anything remotely 'mainstream', it just seems like an easy way of say, 'grouping' certain people so others know whom it is you're referring to. Crude as it sounds, it's not as backhanded as it might seem since the majority of the group I was concerned with are practically identical in appearance and personality, with no real wish to change much of that.

The supports and track appear identical to the plans. Thus far, there is no cause for concern as to where or how the plane is going to fit. It's already clear where, and time will reveal how.

Burly Bodyguard says: "Unhand Rihanna you filthy brute!"

I only have one wish. :ninja:Meh, first world problem, I guess.

It seems to me the Zero-G roll looks steep from every angle. Look at the picture below and you can see just how steep the rise is:Hello, positive G's...

That is enormous! It's hard to think that the Zero-G roll is going to be at the same height as Saw, as Colossus and as Nemesis Inferno when they reach their peak heights!

You should go to my Sixth Form. It's such a snobbish place, especially when it comes to music. Everyone is 'indie' (which sort of contradicts the whole thing; none of them are indie in the slightest) because they have bright blue skinny jeans, their granddad's woollen fleece, moccasins, and Glastonbury armbands.It's like an army have just raided Top Shop and River Island. This is the kind of place where SuperDry is considered chavvy and Jack Wills, Hollister and Abercrombie & Fitch are the only brands you should be seen in, and anyone wearing anything unbranded is instantly an inferior and an outcast. Urgh.

This band have always been a bit hit and miss with me, but this easily their best, along with the remixed version of 'Not In Love'.

Agreed Dan. There's nothing more irritating than seeing a scrawny teenager donning skinny jeans/chinos and a Hollister T-Shirt complaining about chart music.Shut the **** up and go listen to your Crystal Fighters then.

Kevvy K is not your friend. ;)Horses for courses as they might say, Ii'm all for differing opinions with music.

Cheers'en! :lol:I did like them for about a day, but I have a habit of saying I like things and then waking up to all the things that are wrong with something/someone, so I like to withhold judgement until I'm sure, and I'm sure I don't like many quaint little indie bands with awkward names and silly guitar hooks. There's something very irritating about being fed life lessons from socially inept, pubescent white nerds. Bands like Two Door Cinema Club, Friendly Fires, The Wombats, etc., etc. They're annoying.An exception to this rule is Noah And The Whale's more recent stuff. Something about their third album is infectiously good, but their earlier stuff slots nicely into the bin next to Glasvegas. Glasvegas are awful. Just awful. I cannot write down how my hatred seethes for a frontman of such pretentious magnitude and a band who dresses up the past in unnecessary grandiose and tries to re-sell it as something new.

He never knew he was a Tech-NOOOO FAN! Well, he did actually... But not that he was a Wombats fan. For me, The Wombats are a bit of a pile of indie turd.

Not to mention the tower being a very destroyed section of the building and therefore will take less time to build, so they may just been concentrating on the harder build at the moment? Anyone's guess really.

That's very strange. A boy in my year (year 13), nice as anything, had a dead blackbird placed in his bag and no=one owned up to it. I can think who'd do something like that? The guy was actually reduced to tears, after about twenty minutes of trying to stifle them with half of Sixth Form people crowding round him and the Director of Sixth Form after he'd found it and told her. Poor guy, he's not the kind who I'd ever imagine crying either, it was so strange to see that one act of utter cruelty could do this to some people.

That's not the entrance to the bridge though, surely? Look at the shadow on the ground; you can see it dip into a barely visible crease which says to me, were the photo taken much closer to the ride, you'd be able to see the lake running through it - that area is, after all, where the mysterious piece of track was submerged into the water. The support in the foreground is positioned on the bank on the side that the photo was taken from, but the track at the bottom of the drop is positioned in the other side of the bank, leaving the small body of water to run through the 'crease' as it were. If you look at the site plan, you can see what I mean: If you look carefully, this photo appears to be taken just West of the small black arrow in the bottom right of the site plan, showing that the bridge is actually much further along the plot. The photo in Rollercoaster's post was not taken from the proposed entrance bridge.

It had the piano music during the day for my last visit at the beginning of October, but it frequently cut out and was interspersed with announcements and/or silence. At night though, it was playing Blade 's theme music, which is some way detracted a lot from the ride. As good a section of music it is, it's not at all what Thorpe or Samurai needs. Plus, there was a congregation of chavs just having a bit of a rave next to the queue, making the already very dull queue even worse (praise ta lawd that queue wasn't that long).

"Tell me you noticed/Tell me you heard?/It's the most beautiful pain in the world"."I've been losing my mind;/I'll pretend that it's fine;/Trying to keep it together while I crumble inside".People underestimate the potency of these lyrics. Easily Scouting For Girls' best song.
