Stealth
That beats Cussons' sponsorship in the battle of the ugliest and most pathetic sponsorship ever.

No offence to Lionsgate, but SAW doesn't make me want to vomit either...

Your Thorpe Park
What about after 2011? And why are you always so specific about these things, seriously, how much free time do you have?

SAW: The Ride
Well done... Why? Chessie is cheaper, and practically all their rides are aimed at families. Thorpe is much more expensive, has much ruder guests, and have very few (and poor quality) kiddie rides *glares at Octopus Gardens*.

SAW: The Ride
Maybe a few more headchoppers and some saws in close-contact with the outside track would've been good, and the Dive Loop's 'trench' was the perfect place for a decent bit a theming. Shame Thorpe ignored it's potential really.

Park Map
I quite like it! I have to say that's a dandy looking balloon right there... wouldn't mind that being installed at Thorpe, should be a blast.

Rant
I have a similar ordeal, I haven't spoken to one of my best freinds since Christmas because he found out I had feelings for him. Oh well, life goes on...

Rush
I'm pretty sure Catapult (SWAT!) is now in storage, and has been for nearly a year and a half now. :angry2:And stealthtp, just did a quick search and Skyhwak stands at 103ft but swings to a height of 125ft. Rush on the other hand stands at 52ft and swings to a height of 70ft.

Restraints
Ever been to Brean Leisure Park? Lucky you. They have a coaster called 'ShockWave Looper'.... the most painful experience I think I've ever had. The seats were deeper than Slammer's so you 'sink' into the seat and ride in a very awkward position. And the loop isn't even supported that well - when a train runs through it, the track gives really badly, I'm talking like a 5cm shift here.

Rush
There were smaller, permanent versions of the KMG Afterburner (Vortex), by this, I mean they only had six 'arms' on the main pendulum as opposed to Vortex's eight. But yes, Vortex was the first permanent Afterburner with eight 'arms'.Slammer wasn't a prototype as SWAT! in S&S' Playground was the first, but now that ride had been dismantled and is in storage, so that makes Slammer the only existing operating Sky-Swat in the world.

Thorpe Park Trip Reports
Ouch. Looks like you had a really bad day. But hey, I guess it was Easter Weekend/Holiday time, and with the marketing SAW has been given, the queues weren't going to be short, but still, rides breakng down constantly and in the rain aswell couldn't have helped.

Thorpe Park Hotel
Thorpe's coaster are on a 3 year schedule since Nemesis Inferno - (2003), Stealth (2006) and SAW (2009), it's expected that the next major coaster at Thorpe will be built in 2012. Inferno was built just a year after Colossus to help manage the enormous new gate figures that Colossus brought in, since then, the 3 year schedule was instated.

This Or That
Fruit Salads,A shiny piece of tin foil or a dull, and slightly bent bangle?

Rush
Skyhawk... good looking!? You have got to being having a jolly! It easily steals the ugly crown from Rush. And Rush was a prototype, so it was never going to be perfect.

SAW: The Ride
Some food for thought... Just what did happen to the plans for the windmill? I'm no expert but I still don't see one, and I'm not too sure whether the plans for it where actually dropped when the SAW them came into place.
