  1. Safari Skyway is a birds eye view of Chessington & Zoo.On Safari Skyway, you will start off your journey seeing Mexicana and going over the Children's Zoo.You will then come up to the Monkey and Bird garden, followed by the Penguin Cove and views of the Holiday Inn Chessington.Then you will see to your right (if facing forwards) the SEALIFE Centre. You will then go by the Main Entrance (North Admissions) and to your right, you will see Hocus Pocus Hall which is full of magical spells, a wizard and some very naughty goblins!Then you will come up to the the Trail of the Kings and the Sealion Bay.You will then be told about Vampire for little devils to try out their first rollercoaster. Fangtastic!Then you will come up to Seastorm and the Carousel while being told on other areas and rides at Chessington & Zoo.That is basically your ride and what you will see on Safari Skyway! :PAnyway... Any thoughts and opinions on Safari Skyway can be posted here!
  2. Griffins Galleon is located in Land of the Dragons at Chessington & Zoo.To be honest, out of all the times I have visited, I have never been on Griffins Galleon.Next time I go to Chessington & Zoo, I am making sure I go on it.I have heard the audio for Griffins Galleon is great! (Lets hope the ride is too! )Any thought or opinions guys and girls?

    Rush has been really reliable this season which has shocked me as it has been quite unreliable the past few seasons.It is nice to be able to feel that Rush will be open on my next visit to THORPE PARK instead of thinking It will / probably will be unavailable.Glad to see Rush has become reliable unlike a certain S&S ride that is the complete opposite!
  4. I usually end up walking straight past Quantum to be honest.However, last time I went to THORPE PARK. I went on it and I actually quite enjoyed it! :)Also, the queue was advertised as 15 mins and it was vertually a walk on!

    I hope the Fastrack prices do not rise anymore as they are getting ridiculous.However, I know it will probably be definite that they will rise in price!
  6. I could not believe that Black Buccaneer was not on the Chessington & Zoo section but now it is! :)I rode this in the middle after not riding in ages and to be honest; I felt a bit sick after it and was quite happy to get off of it!Then again, the operator did give us two rides, so if it was just one, I probably would have been fine! :PAnyway...Any stories to tell about Black Buccaneer?Any thoughts?Yea... You get the picture!
  7. The Single Rider Queue was probably closed due to people abusing it.
  8. I agree. I hope these standards stay high too.Plus, It can give you a much better ride on Nemesis Inferno than just the ride alone. (If that makes sense )QUOTE:- Keep my baby up!That sounds like me with Vampire!
  9. When I said I go for personality.There is a small part of me that goes for looks as well.I think we all do really if we were honest.It may only be the smallest bit but it can still count to your final decision of your boyfriend / girlfriend.But as I did state, Personality is key!If anyone is just going out with someone for their looks of their partner. They can't really say they are going out as they have just chose each other for their looks.Whereas, If someone has chosen personality, You can definately say that you are going out with your partner for the right reasons due to them being themselves. Also, the partners personality could also be what you are both into.
  10. Ultimate Express Passes have now gone from £30 up to £40. This is showing a £10 increase in the Ultimate; The same as THORPE PARK.
  11. I have to agree that a lot of Straight hot girls are usually shallow and have a load of boys waiting.Alot of the time. Looks are not everything in a person. It is personality!

    QuantumColossus or Nemesis Inferno?EDIT:- TimR - Vortex
  13. These effects will probably be only working for a few days then they will probably die down to nothing again unfortunately.

    I am glued to Ugly Betty! :PI love it and probably do not blink for the hour that it is on!
  15. themeparkmad replied to Cringle's topic in Nonsense
    CarsUgly Betty or Big Brother?
  16. I don't see why someone would want to risk being banned from future visits, whether permanent or just for the season.He would probably be banned from other Merlin Entertainments Groups Attractions as well.Why risk that? It is just rediculous!
  17. That would make your welcome / leaving the entrance to Thorpe Park like a prison!The only place barbed wire and spikes are to be used is in the SAW: The Ride queue line!
  18. On a serious note though...He should not have done it in the first place!- It creates unnessesary attention which can easily be advoided.- Can put other lives at risk as well as self.- Can give Thorpe Park a bad name for fellow guests.
  19. I don't know what the staff would do if the staff saw him do this. I suppose it depends on the member of staff from getting a warning to banned from future visits.If I was a worker at Thorpe Park, I suppose I would call security to the lake to deal with the problem as no one in Retail, Rides etc. could really deal with it apart from calling security.It is quite dangerous though as Thorpe Waterski use that lake and anything could have gone by at high speeds.As a guest POV, It would have made me laugh and cheer him on if I am being honest! (Don't hate me! )
  20. I have only been on Rock 'n' Rollercoaster in America and I have not been on Rita: Queen of Speed so it is obvious my choice.Also, I am not a big lover of launch rides tbh whereas R'n'R was good as it was inside so you could still feel like you could breath and do not feel as if you are having needles thrown at you in the rain.
  21. I sat on the outside seat on SAW: The Ride and I did not find it as rough as Colossus.
  22. Well that gave me a headache reading if I am honest! :DBut on to what you said Will...Some average guys probably do think they are Gay as they can't get a girlfriend. I used to think like that but it did not work like that as the more "Gayer" I get the more girls are around me! :DOn what you said about 'Some people go Bisexual to better their luck'.That I would say is sort of true. However, most straight guys would never go Bisexual just to better their luck.They would have to have feelings for male and females. If they are 100% straight. They can't really just go Bisexual thinking their chance will improve if they don't like the same sex as well as the opposite sex.On your last point...I agree with you Will that most girls do prefer Bisexual and Gay's to Straight guys.The reason probably for that is that Bi and Gays are Feminine (or at least some are!).We can relate to girl problems like breaking a nail , having a cry, feeling upset, needing a hug, wanting a manicure etc... ()That is why girls probably like non straight males as we can relate to them making them feel like that he is the perfect guy.Straight Guys - Get to know the girl and feel the girls needs. Put them first! Relate to their problems. If you are watching a film and you feel like crying but you think I am too much of a man to cry. Then you are not relating to the girl.I am Bisexual, but I admit I do act Gay from time to time. (or alot )The reason why I have so many girl friends (as friends) is that I can relate to their problems. A few don't even know I am Bisexual, but we have a good relationship as I can relate to them.Girls are definately easier than guys for me.With guys, unless they have the same interests and feelings etc. It does not work. It is the same with a girl really but I find I can relate to them more.Will's Point - 'A lot of Gay/Bi guys are good looking. This is why girls like them'.I would not consider myself good looking but I still have girls that like me.It is my personal choice though to re-fuse dating a girl. (or boy obviously!)Anyone else agree on these points made? (Sorry for the long post).

    Unfortunately, SAW: The Ride Fastrack is £4 and not £3.Stealth is also £4 or if you would like Pole Position. It is £6.All other Fastrack rides with a Fastrack queue are £3 each with single fastrack.
  24. There are more gay people than the statistics say. I would agree.It is probably because more people in society are used to it and this makes people feel more comfortable to come out.This is probably one reason of many!
  25. That is probably true will! Thanks for the last statement on your post btw :DThe only reason why I posted it was that I was shocked living in Brighton that such a hassle was formed.Especially at the last place I would expect that to happen. (Chessington).Oh well, That is the first homophobic comment outside of school and I probably have a lot more coming my way!
