  1. Don't laugh at me, but is the Mystery Shop the shop by Dragon Falls? (just assuming by Mystery being Mystic East).I can't believe I do not know where that shop is and I go all the time!
  2. I don't really see the point of the geyser to be honest.However, I definately see the point of the smoke effects in the tunnel and in the queue line.
  3. Sorry!Just that I am really excited. I think I better go offline!
  4. I have not been on SAW: The Ride yet but this is bugging me...There are Urinals on SAW? ;)That is handy then if you are in 120 mins queue and need the toilet!

    Fastrack

    Ultimate Fastrack is for Multiple use on the following rides at a cost of £50 per person...ColossusNemesis InfernoRushVortexSamuraiStealthX:\ No Way OutTidal WaveLoggers LeapRumba RapidsFlying FishHeight Restrictions still apply on all rides as if you were queueing.I am not sure, but I think SAW: The Ride is included in the Ultimate Fastrack list.If it is not, It should be!
  9. The volume on SAW: The Ride has gone up????!! That is great! It will be my first ride on 23rd June so will be nice to get the great atmosphere that I have heard about!
  10. How did you know I have not been on Stealth?Did I post that somewhere?
  11. Although, I only go to Chessington for the rides (If being honest). I prefer Chessington due to the atmosphere the park gives.It could be a roasting hot day or pelting with rain and staff seem (even if may not be ) happy and glad to be working for Chessington.Chessington gives an atmosphere that Thorpe Park does not even come close to! Also, even though the rides are better at Thorpe Park. Chessington always gives me a better day out even if you have to queue for a while!Chessington should be really happy on their progress. Even though a new ride is overdue. Gate figures have increased by adding a Sealife Centre and Zoo only days.This is a huge achievement compared to Thorpe Park which have to add new rides to keep things going.Chessington always seems a great place to be and staff do make the day more enjoyable and I would feel really happy and welcomed I feel if / when I decide to work at Chessington!Welcome to the Vampire!
  12. How can you not like Nemesis Inferno?!Have not been on SAW: The Ride yet but will do on 23rd June.Still do not think it will beat Colossus so...ColossusRumba Rapids or Flying Fish?
  13. Dragon FallsSAW: The Ride or Nemesis Inferno?
  14. I am going to Thorpe Park in 2 days! Yaay!
  15. + Vampire is amazing+ The queues will be smaller+ You will enjoy your day more+ I am going to Chessington, so you either come with me to Chessington or you don't go! (Just don't mension anything about SAW: The Ride or Thorpe Park! )I know for most teenagers Chessington does have a negative reputation. However, I am a teenager and I love the place!
  16. I would strongly reconmend you go to Chessington instead of Thorpe Park.My Dad used to never take me to theme parks (but now he is addicted ) as my Nans friend did.I always used to end up at Thorpe Park which I enjoyed a lot! Who wouldn't with Colossus there!Then when my Dad offered to take me, He did not like Thorpe Park's rides to say the least! So I tried Chessington.He loved them!And it was not until I starting really appreciating theme parks (especially Chessington) that I relised how much fun Chessington can be!Sure, you do not have rides like Colossus and SAW: The Ride, but you have the entertainments, Zoo areas and SEALIFE Centre, Rides and Attractions.Chessington has less rides, but compared to Thorpe. Really even when Dragon's Fury is on 60 mins. This is nothing compared to Colossus being 120 mins plus!I appreciate Chessington alot more now and I always look forward to my visits; Whether it has been a week, 2 weeks or a month. It is still a great day out.(Usually a father son day out for me where we don't argue! )Please keep your booty inside the boaty!
  17. I am not going to kill you! - Nemesis Inferno is still a good ride and should not be compared to Nemesis at Alton Towers as they are two different rides.I have to agree with the comments above; Black Mamba looks amazing!
  18. I have not been to Chessington in a month now! (shame on me! ) so I would usually be able to give you past queue times but I can't.(I have become a disgrace to Chessington! )Although, I can say, If you are going during school trips and it is warn. My personal opinion on the queues would be that they will be high unfortunately.Vampire - 60 minsDragon's Fury - 90 minsDragon Falls - 30 minsRattlesnake - 30 minsBubbleworks - 45 minsSeastorm - 30 minsRunaway Train - 30 minsTomb Blaster - 40 minsBlack Buccaneer - 20 minsRodger the Dodgers Dodgems - 30 minsBilly's Whizzer - 30 minsPeeking Heights - 20 minsGriffins Galleon - 15 minsHocus Pocus Hall - 10 mins :(Only an Approximation from previous busy visits.I added in younger thrill rides as I was not sure on their height.Hope this helps!EDIT - Only if school trips and good weather.
  19. You got to go with your school! The best UK trip that my school was Thorpe Park and got 4 hours ride time with queues on over 90 mins! I really want to go on Black Mamba now in the future!
  20. Is Colossus still cutting out on the lift hill?
  21. Don't forget though admin are probably really busy with forums and future developemnts of the site.I am sure admin have more important things to do than remember when our warn needs to be removed! Don't forget - Admin and Moderators do not get paid! They are doing this because they want to!(I have a warn of 20% which had for a few days so I will give it 6 months then after that comment Will! )
  22. I love your D.P.

    You and Ian are cute together! :)

    Fastrack

    I Vaguely remember to he honest.I think you scanned your entrance ticket or a ticket provided. (e.g. Colossus fastrack ticket.)Then you scanned you ticket.You were given an allocated time to ride the ride you have just scanned.However, Unlike Fastrack now. You were not allowed to fastrack any other rides until your slot on your scanned ride was over. (I think).This was removed as people were abusing the system.Now, as a consequence to that; You now need to pay for Fastrack.e.g. Where the fastrack booth is by Colossus. This is where you used to get your ticket.Where the lockers are (at Chessington) for Dragon's Fury and Vampire. This is also where you would scan for your fastrack ticket.

    Fastrack

    I would reconmend you go on a few rides first then see if you need fastrack.However, If you are going when the school trips are on. I would purchase fastrack in the dome, by Colossus or by Tidal Wave's Fastrack and Information booth. (Or at the entrance at Thorpe Park).Pre-Ordering Tickets - I have tried before but I had the same trouble as I would have had to buy a ticket too. (And I am also an AP holder).The best thing I could reconmend is just to go into Thorpe Park and then purchase Fastrack, if you think it is needed, from one of the 4 places where available.Hope this helps.

    Fastrack

    The reason why free Fastrack went a few years ago was because people were abusing the system.
