  1. I would like to see two things:1. Removal of Depth Charge.2. An upgraded X:\ No Way Out.I say Upgraded as I think it is a very good ride but could be better. I also don't think if it was removed that something better would be put there. (In My Opinion).QuantumI personally think that Quantum should stay at THORPE PARK instead of moving to Chessington & Zoo.Although I could definately see Quantum fitting in well to an area at Chessington & Zoo. I still think it should stay at THORPE PARK.And to be fair, If it stays at THORPE PARK, You have a ride that is very good and that does not have much of a queue!
  2. Yes it is £4 for a SAW: The Ride Fastrack.
  3. Moving Vortex to Chessington & Zoo would not be wise as most people would not go on it!Look at Black Buccaneer and Rameses Revenge currently.You rarely see much of a queue for these due to the majority of people who visit Chessington & Zoo would not ride Vortex as they would be on rides such as Dragon's Fury, Tomb Blaster and Vampire.Vortex would also not fit Chessington & Zoo due to it's target group. Chessington & Zoo aim to deliver 'Family Fun'. Black Buccaneer is sort of family fun as it has a low height restriction.When do you see that ride with a long queue? Very rarely!This is why, I think anyway, that Vortex should not move to Chessington & Zoo and should keep it's place at THORPE PARK.
  4. Unfortunately, I have failed to find a picture of the old loading style on the Black Buccaneer.But I can explain...Basically, the gates that are on the Runaway Train were used on Black Buccaneer for each row.Whereas now, you are just stopped at the gate and the staff member will count how many people go through and then ask you to wait once the capacity has been reached.Hope this helps
  5. Send Vortex to Chessington & Zoo????Not being rude but... Are you mad?I could never imagine seeing Vortex at Chessington & Zoo for a number of reasons.
  6. I am one of them!If THORPE PARK purchase a Top Spin. This will give THORPE PARK the reputation of copying rides from other parks as there is already...Rameses Revenge - Chessington & ZooRipsaw - Alton Towers.Same with a Maurer Sohne spinning coaster.Dragon's Fury - Chessington & ZooSpinball Whizzer - Alton Towers.It is also the same with people wanting a B&M Flying Coaster.Air is already at Alton Towers and this can also give THORPE PARK the reputation of cloning the style of rides at the Merlin Entertainments Group attractions.
  7. - People that go out with others just to boast to others is extremely sad to be honest.- I would not say being older makes you consider whether you choose personality more than looks.It is more a personal opinion thing on what you consider more than the other.I am a teenager but I would always consider the personality of who I was going out with.And if they look hot / cute, that is an added bonus!
  8. Because, Yes it is a good ride but I would not say it is amazing!Then again, If there is a low queue for Quantum, I will re-join the queue line.
  9. 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!
  10. 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?
  11. 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!
  12. 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!

    Fastrack

    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!
  14. 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!
  15. The Single Rider Queue was probably closed due to people abusing it.
  16. 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!
  17. 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.
  18. I take it you like Colossus by writing out the announcement! :P

    3 things to say to that...

    1. Me too! :P

    2. That is my favourite announcement!

    3. We need to go on Colossus! :P

  19. 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.
  20. 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!
  21. QuantumColossus or Nemesis Inferno?EDIT:- TimR - Vortex
  22. These effects will probably be only working for a few days then they will probably die down to nothing again unfortunately.
