I agree with Ryan tbh.Why have more deaths when there loved ones are at home and wanting them back!And Marc - If you feel so strongly about them staying - Prehaps you would like to help them out then?!

I am surprised you are not obese Marc...

^ Happy Mania Hub Birthday Ross.

I think Peeking Heights can be quite busy at times, especially in the summer.Yes, it isn't one of the rides that screams the word 'queues' but isn't that a good thing?!Peeking Heights gives some picturesque views of Wild Asia, Dragon Falls, Dragon's Fury and Rameses Revenge!Also, it is amazing for the 'green look' at for the Thorpe Park fans - You can make out Stealth. Also was very handy for my ICT project! ()

I hate Mc Donalds full stop!Therefore, Pizza Hut.

Glad to actually hear Thorpe Park is, finally, getting some good reliability.It has been a long time since I have been visiting Thorpe Park where there hasn't been at least one ride closure, so hopefully that will change! At least you will actually go on it Mark!

I find that the more people know about it the less they actually care.There is also the side that you can tell who your genuine friends are if they care whether you are gay / bi or not!

Went to Chessington WoA today for a briallent day out!All Rides and Attractions were 0 mins from what I saw for most of the day.I did see Dragon's Fury on 30 mins for about an hour then it went down to 5 mins.The same happened with Rattlesnake today.All staff seemed as bubbly as they could despite the weather. And not being big headed but the Vampire staff were immediately the most enthusiastic to me. Maybe because the station is inside but that is how I saw it :(A great day with a very good ride count!Got on everything at least once but did count Vampire which was 11 today

I seriously hope so! It would mean the world to me!I literally live on the recording you send me of it Ryan! :)I would love the genuine copy that actually loops though.

It was there for last years Halloween Hocus Pocus.However, it has been back now for a few weeks for the 2010 season.

GAY!

Bad terminology I know - But just to confirm if it is the Rub-A-Dub scene = The door as you leave Vampire exit is where that big blue ball is.(Again, sorry for the bad terminology but hope it may confirm if it is the right scene or not! )

Without a doubt, Professor Burp's Bubbleworks was better to the current Bubbleworks, imo.I don't think Professor Burp's Bubbleworks would return to Chessington WoA for 2010.I really like the idea Ryan ('rygr') have about Bubbleworks being closed for a season and completely starting again.I don't think a Rapids ride there would be the answer though. I would like it to be re-themed and fit into the Transylvanian theme instead of quacking everywhere.As the sponcership runs out this year, I would like MAJOR work to be done on Bubbleworks both on the ride, in the station and the queue line.From big things like the ride as a whole to little things like lighting, painting, music could contribute to a better Bubbleworks next season if work was to be done.Yes I agree with everyone saying Bubbleworks is not as good as it used to be but the 2 main rides I always hear people talk about when relating to Chessington WoA is Vampire and Bubbleworks! It is obviously still very popular to the average guests.As James said - Anyone can ride the Bubbleworks as long as with the right people meeting the height requirements, so that is a very good type of ride to have.The Bubbleworks Uniform.Had some talk about it above - I personally would like to see it more 'Bubbleworks type' if it was to stay in place. Bob the Builder hats and white coats dont fit it for me unfortunately...I think some badges over it saying 'Official Bubbleworks Maker", maybe some ducks, some Bubbles, the logo would fit the uniform much better imo.I have been asked by people why we are dressed like it and they have said that they have visited a load of times before and they didnt even relise it was related to Bubbleworks so I am okay with keeping the uniform but improvement is needed imo!

This is the only ride to date that whenever I hear the music as I walk into the station - I still get an odd shiver down my spine thinking 'oh my god!'Still scares me a bit even now tbh! Woop Woop for the amazing 2 laughs!

So basically someone on Vampire going "woooo" etc is better than the actual music creating the ride atmosphere?I hate it sooo much when I hear operators mis-use Vampire's PA as I have heard a lot of people compliment the music and actually say that it makes them a bit scared which is great! ;)An operator hearing his own voice though... not so good in my opinion.

Thank you for posting the link for this.Was quite interesting to hear John's views regarding Th13teen!

Ohhhhh you did just hit a sore spot there :(I don't really think to normal visitors to the park that it will increase the experience of the Ride / Attraction but that is just my opinion.

Agreed!Whether they are saying "undo your seatbelts and pull your bar down in towards you" - Ride Hosts still do it anyways.The only necessary one is the usual "Welcome to the Vampire. Place all bags and loose belongings on the exit platform and shoes must be worn".That is it imo!

It is a shame that some people have to use the PA too much and ruin the ride atmosphere imo.Oh wells.

BubbleworksBubbleworks has been turned down very slightly - 100%.You can actually hear it from a mile away when the park is closed but I dont mind it anyways. VampireI will be extremely dissapointed and upset tbh if Vampire's audio has been turn down.I dont see why it would be as I have seen all people compliment the volume and theming of the station.Can anyone else confirm Vampire has been turned down a bit?Will have a listen out on Saturday - I seriously hope it hasn't!

^ No!

TBF - Just because you are from Brighton doesn't mean we don't have haters... :(TBH - Sort of get the "P off" attitude to them.

Ricky - TrueChris - Lol!

I don't think it would be worth while if it was just to the hotel guests. Obviously, it would be the guests that end up visiting the Savannah more anyways imo.

I feel sorry for Ricky and Steve for being the only gay guys in college!My college is FULL of gays, bis, lesbians - It is sooo cool! well for me anyways. ;)Tub's question - Occasionally I think it would be easier to be straight but I wouldn't change my sexuality at all. It is apart of me and I wouldn't be me without it.I quite like it to be honest.
