A swam of bees during the ride of Dragon's Fury? I have known them to be all over the queue line but never gone on people during the ride!Note to self - Keep mouth closed when on Dragon's Fury next time! And to answer does it happen alot? - I absolutely hate bees and wasps. If it happened a lot I would not go to Chessington & Zoo. So seeing I go quite a lot, No it fortunately does not happen alot! And if it does, let them stay by Dragon's Fury and not by Vampire!

omg, I have never known it so quiet on TPM!

Is anyone going to log on to the new Mania Chat as no one ever seems to be signed in to it!

I have had No Limits for years now and from day one I could never work it and still can not. I will stick with RCT 3 which is also rarely used now.

I follow Chelsea every home game, but to be honest; I am not enjoying it as much as I used to.Also, I am fed up of feeling they can say they are injured and still get paid rediculous money!On Ronaldo, He is a cocky little bas****! The only thing good about him is he is quite fit. Other than that I can not stand him!

Ok guys thank you for all the information on SAW: The Ride. Will be my first go on 23rd June and it can not go any slower! Glad you got it Gandhi now but it was only meant to be a 5 second joke, not escalate into a debate, so sorry!

What got me into theme parks and rides?Hummm....I remember my first ever trip to a theme park was THORPE PARK. I remember every 5 mins in the car saying 'Are we there yet?' I remember walking into the dome when I was 9 years old and thinking wow! I was gob smacked at the size of everything!I remember walking out looking at everything without a care in the world!Then I think we walked over to Loggers Leap and came off of that like any youngster! Again! Again! Again!I remember riding Tidal Wave, Rumba Rapids and Loggers Leap.In fact, where I got my love of ride music was in the Rumba Rapids queue hearing the announcements thinking I love it!Then remember walking over to Colossus hearing its area theme music and it always stuck in my head outside of THORPE PARK and would play through my head a lot! Hense, starting my love for ride audio!I remember not being able to ride Colossus or Vortex and sobbing my eyes out. I vertually every week measured myself thinking I am almost 1.4m! (Then I was 1.3m )Then visited Chessington. I was like wow! I visited Chessington in 2003 so Dragon's Fury was not at the park.I remember Professor Burp's Bubbleworks feeling the magic of the ride. Same with Dragon Falls scared sh**less going into a Dragons mouth and past a weird buddha!Then remember the Runaway Train thinking this is amazing!Unfortunately, I was not tall enough for Rattlesnake and again cried as I could not go on it! Then, I remember queuing 2 hours for Vampire! I was like 'Yeah this looks fun'. I walked into the station and thought omg, I am so scared (and you would not believe this now but) and scared of listening to the music! After riding Vampire and Colossus when I adventually could in 2003 (had to wait a year), My love for rides blossomed from there! Hense why Colossus and Vampire are my favourite and always will be!After that, every activity I done was always 'well... it is not like going to THORPE PARK or Chessington'. So then I got parents taking me and now to this day continue my love for rides and drive my parents mad when have my ride music on loud! Then for future, hope to work at Chessington. This is also why I would like Vampire as it means so much to me so Area 1 please!Started on TPM actually after wanting to know more beond the ride (eg Ride Manufacturers, Pricing, Audio, Theming etc.)Just saw TPM and thought yes seems good. Other people will know what I am talking about without having to explain what I mean! And here we are now!Sorry if I have bored you!

I was browsing thorough you tube and here is a really old advert showing...Flying Fish (the good one! )Mr Monkeys Banana RideRumba Rapids (when was Thunder River)Loggers LeapHere is the link to the old advert First 20 seconds is the old THORPE PARK advert. Rest is an old advert for Chessington & Zoo and Alton Towers.It is actually really good but nothing towards' THORPE PARK's target group now! (I think also there is the Wicked Witche's Haunt and some raft ride which I think was called Magic Mill).

That is probably 100% why Professor Burp's Bubbleworks was in Transylvania! I have just found this old advert for Chessington & Zoo and it is vertually all what you describe Mark!I am actually in shock! Oh and Here is the old advert I found which will back up what Mark said

That. - Sounds more dramatic! :)These are boring to watch (in my opinion)Golf or Rugby?

European Cup Final. (at least over in 90 mins! )I like Eurovision but am happy just watching it when on once a year! I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! or Big Brother?

Recorded.Where is better?Brighton or London?

Coaster ForceDo you like the new Mania Chat?Yes or No?

I take it you are Man Utd then Master Isklander! I am Chelsea so I don't really care but I can imagine how you must feel as I would feel the same if he played for Chelsea.

I am in favour of the announcement "Exit to the Left" on Dragon's Fury as it is a nice way to end the ride with the furious fire dragon!

Ok tpkabz, you would be the last person I thought to say that!I must have worded wrong or something. Just forget I posted that! Does anyone know the speed stats of Saw on the vertical drop?

Oh no I feel upset by that... really I do!

Things is, Rumba Rapids is a good ride as you don't get drenched or soaked. You can go on Rumba Rapids again as usually there is not a large queue so if you choose to get more wet. You can! Getting wet by a water squirter on Rumba Rapids will probably not be fun tbh!

Quavers!6 o'clock news or 10?

Why neither! Heat magazine is good! DVDWalkers crisp or Hula Hoops?

TVHeat Magazine or OK magazine?

TouchCats or Dogs?

Maybe because it is annoying having loads of pages on THORPE PARK and that a Mania Mod or Admin could delete them so it is less hassle looking through the THORPE PARK section! :POtherwise, they are just going to build up and up!

If on the bridge, that is where entrance and exit people enter and exit. Wouldn't you just end up blocking the entrance causing guests to moan saying they can't get through?By Pizza Hut is a good idea though.Personally, as we are on Tidal Wave topic!, Any water ride at THORPE PARK should not need water squrters to improve a guests day out!I agree it is the individuals choice to pay £1 for a bit of water!

ADMIN or MODERATOR:- Why is there a 2008 Opening Times topic when we are half way though 2009?
