Up south, :PTuna Steak or A Beret?

I like Nemesis Inferno's because it's Nemesis Inferno. But my favourite (in terms of safety) are Stealth's.

Can I just say, that the time you spend queuing for Slammer will be the most well spent queuing time you've ever done. Slammer is one hell of an experience and never fails to give an extremely intense performance. The hang-time and G-force are incredible, and the first forward swing creeps up on you like nothing you've ever felt.

That's because Detonator was made by a manufacturer called 'Fabbri', they're a relatively small, Italian ride manufacturer who also made Quantum. The 'Mega-Drop' (Detonator) was originally meant to be 40 meters, when it was debuted in 2000, but Runnymede wouldn't allow it when Thorpe bought Detonator in 2001. The ride is meant to be for travelling fairs so that's why there aren't many in established parks.

No, Hurakan doesn't have pneumatic pumps at the top like Detonator, Hurakan is pure freefall.

That's weird, tbh I actually got bored of Hurakan Condor because it takes so long to reach the ground. And the drop is a bit wimpish when compare to Detonator's.

TescoAldi or Lidl?

Kudos to that one! Maybe public transport would be on time for once...

Very unlikely, onride video's are still going through the testing process, they look to be on-sale near the start of May.

SAWS: The Ride! Mechanical sharks....Lasagne or Bolognese?

1) I wish my iPhone didn't pack up and p**s off to Devon rubbish tips.2) I wish they would make rollercoasters for ducks. (One spots a gap in the market... Quick, someone ring Dragon's Den!)3) I wish I had just one more idea for a wish because I can't think of anything else.

You can do it too, with Kandoo!

Even so, if you sit facing Stealth, it's very hard to hear the countdown, let alone any announcements. What gets me everytime is how you can only see the ground in the distance, because the restraints don't let you look down. It's also scary being lifted up because not being able to see the ground means that I'm not quite sure when I've reached the top, so it's always a massive surprise when I hear that clunk as I reach the top.

Wooo! My baby Slammer's working again! :PThorpe really need all their rides open at this time of the year, hopefully Slammer will help spread the queue times so they're slightly more managable.

RONALD MCDONALD!Clowns will rule the world one day... B)Chair or Tulip?

Diagonal....ish, I think. I really hope it's working by May. I love that ride too much to miss it when I finally drag my butt up to Thorpe.

Yes, both swings work at the same time, but Rush is quite temperamental so sometimes it will only work on one swing. That said, Rush, in terms of reliability is infinitely better than it was back in 2005-2006.EDIT: Grrr Sam P!

Stealth,Yahoo or Ask.com?

'Cause that doesn't encourage drug use..

Queen! B)Madagascar or Madagascar 2?

Hmm... no options... thorpeparkjack, after answering a question you must put two of your own options for someone else to answer, OK? B)Back on topic..Listerine or Dentyl?

Fender, and only because my head of year, Mrs. Gibson has smelly breath and always looks like she's about to keel over and die. Billy the Puppet or Jigsaw?

Coldplay - Violet HillWas a long and dark December,From the rooftops, I remember,There was snow, white snow.Clearly I remember,From the windows, they were watching.While we froze, down below.When the future's architectured,By a carnival of idiots,On show, you'd better lie low.If you love me, won't you let me know?Was a long and dark December,When the banks became cathedrals.And a fox, became God.Priests clutched onto bibles,Hollowed out to fit their rifles,And the cross, was held aloft.Bury me in honour,When I'm dead and hit the ground.A love back home, it unfolds.If you love me, won't you let me know?I don't want to be a soldier,Who the captain of some sinking ship,Would stow, far below.So, if you love me, why'd you let me go?I took my love down to Violet Hill,There we sat in snow.All that time she was silent still.So, if you love me, won't you let me know?If you love me, won't you let me know?

What about the latest innovation from our good old friends who bought us Zodiac - Huss?HUSS KING KONGThe gondola is designed for up to 24 passengers with a maximum height of 12,5 m (41 ft.) and a footprint of 10 m x 11,5 m (33 ft. x 38 ft.). The ride is actuated by a hydraulic system. The passengers will enter the gondola on the floor and then the KING KONG will start to prop up and lift the gondola at the same time. When the figure stands upright he will start to shake the gondola slowly. After a while the gondola will be directly in front of the head of our KING KONG and our special effects starts with sound, mist and shining eyes.If you ask me, it seems a logical option, (even though I hate the idea of this ride) because it comes readily themed for Calypso Quay, has a relatively small footprint, and is suitable for younger thrill seekers.Advantages:Small footprintSomething for the younger visitorsUnique'Heavily' Themed, ready for Calypso QuayLooks the partAdds much needed atmosphereDisadvantages:Tragically low throughput - just 480 pph

Ah, well done thorpeparkjack! But because it was an easy one you get no cookie.
