It's Mother's Day for God's sake! I mean, can you imagine the upset her sons and relatives must be feeling?

Care to elaborate?

SHERRY TIME!!!

Nickelback,Tweed or Suede?

Wiiiiii! All the way!Coco Pops or Coco Rocks?

Slammer wins! The second foward swing is immense, my sister and my cousin are petrified of it! Makes me laugh so much...

Ugh, Alan Titchmarsh... Library or History Museum?

Do you spend your free time planning out new rides like this and exactly where the public will go? Because it sounds like you've got it all thought out about what happens where, what happens when etc. Ummm.... Sounds like pretty complicated animatronics there. And where would this 70ft drop come from? Or do you go underground? And if so, how do you get back up without a lift? Rumba... And then what?Try putting paragraphs in every now and then so your posts don't look so bulky and aren't so hard to read.

Aren't you unique?

Ripsaw...Chess or Draughts?

I can only laugh at how as soon as the park opens, the Closed Ride topic (which has been dormant ever since the park shut it's doors for 2008), blooms 5+ pages within the first two days of official opening. Textbook Thorpe...

March 13th - Plans for the SW6 have finally been accepted. Apparently, the rides layout has been slightly altered, and Alton had to fork out £50,000 to the Staffordshire Council to 'help traffic flow'. Also, they've promsied that if they find anything of archaeological value and/or interest, they will treat it suitably. This info came from Coasterforce and TowersTimes.

I don't mind repeating myself when I say Thorpe should build a Flying Coaster OVER Manor Lake, next to Vortex, with a wide bridge that leads away from the Lost City to a small peninsula/island with the station and a few benches etc., and as soon as you board the coaster, you come out of the station to being over the water for a pre-lift section. Then the lift hill and the main ride are also completely over the water, with the supports built on the lake-bed. And possibly with some parts like Manta where you 'fly' very close to the water level.I realise this would probably make it Thorpe's most expensive coaster to date, but it would be a 'world's first' coaster, and with a good theme it could easily be marketed very well.And this way, the water-borne coaster with slender B&M track and supports keeps the lake intact and offers a major thrill without cramping the rides to close together on the mainland. Building the Fyler over water also cuts out the water relocation and land infill costs.

Nice to know... :)I am so glad I chose to wait a few weeks before going: I knew my wait would be worth while.I'm also chuffed with myself that for once, I haven't looked at any spoilers!

Yeah, its was really fun! Lycra is my new best friend... :S Assembly was embarrassing, our class was the last in so everyone got a nice view of me in my skirt.

LOL at that Cringle!Anyhoo, Comic Relief was really fun today. I went into school dressed as a hippie girl. Bright purple tights with fishnets, rainbow converses, starry lulu skirt, pink strappy top, fluorescent leg-warmers and a frilly bra.... Got some funny looks though. :S Girls and Teachers loved it, boys were creeped out... SO? :DAhhh, 'twas a good day

Didn't I say it's only be a day before an illegal video appears on the net?

Yeah, but I'll be waiting till April before I go. Hope everyone had fun today!

meme503 was right; you have to light the match before anything else.

Air Gates? Block Brakes? Maybe it's just that the press don't know the proper term for them. Which wouldn't exactly shock the life from me I must say...

No, it isn't the candle, Ryan. Keep guessing!

If you are in a dark room with only a match for light. There is also a candle, a wood stove and a gas lamp. You need to light the stove to make your dinner, and the gas lamp so you can read in your bed, and the candle because you've run out of electricity. So, what do you light first?

Actually I'm in the same boat as Frankie on this one, I find it so annoying when trying to search for someone; I get about 5 pages worth of stupid usernames, no pictures, no avatars, no posts etc. Oh, well - what can ya do?
