Theme Park bloke

You can't blame them though. First-timers don't exactly "know the way", unlike us regulars who do.

Well I won't spoil the Imperial Leather Bubbleworks for you but if your senses are good, you may remember that during the Burp days, the whole ride smelt quite sweet, of drink smells, purely because it was themed along a drinks factory. For the Imperial Leather version it became a soap factory, so now you get sweet soap smells.And I'm with you on Beanoland - I haven't been on the Dodgems for ages but yes, one last trip is essential.

I was reading in Nuts lastnight that Detonator delivers the highest levels of G-force a human can take before blacking out. News to me, I know it's some force, but has anyone here ever blacked out on or after Detty?

Hilarious! Listen to the last 10 seconds of the video, after the guy has made the announcement, the lower Dome music starts to play. Is a full-version download of that available anywhere? It may be a boring track to some, but to me, it's interesting.

So it's still there today then, because I don't recall seeing it? I know what you mean. Nemesis isn't alone here, other station's such as Colossus and X:\ need a little bit more TLC. One thing that irritates me is the fact they spent all that time, putting the yellow stars on the blue wall on Colossus' station, and then someone goes and puts a massive storage unit right in front of it, abd you can only see the top of it.

What makes it better are the rides themes and sound effects on the holes.

The food at Rameses is so bad they might as well be serving rubber chickens.

Let me correct you. Loggers Leap is old. Colossus is getting older too, by 2012 it will be 10. Samurai is now in it's 10th year of operation, so that's old too. Zodiac is old, being a hand-me-down from another park. The previous Zodiac was older.Nothing or nobody is getting younger - all older.

I can't find a picture of it but somewhere on the Internet there is a picture of Nemesis with the "bark chippings" on the floor in orange, it's between the tunnel exit and the lift hill. Dunno if anyone remembers this, but is it still orange? Because if not that should be sorted out too.

I have a warn and am not concerned about it, all I was just wondering was, if there are rules in place applying a warn, are there any in place from removing it?

Mark, I thought you left Chessington? Are you working there this year or not?

Does it put stress on the lift hill chain? I know it uses a ratchet-type system so it can't go back at all.

We all know what an immensely complicated system Slammer runs on. To actually see it, sit in the set of seats to the right when you get to the "T junction" in the queueline. When you are riding either backwards or forwards, look down when at the very top (you'll only have a couple of seconds) and you can see it all behind a fence. So you know where to look, it's behind the fence to the left of the entrance, or in simpler terms, on your right as you exit through the gate. You can hear it all hissing away.

Too right mate, it's the best track around! It's been around for 3 seasons now and long may it reign! It's good to hear it when you step out of the car on the hard-standing, even from a distance.

I realise stricter warn guidelines were put in place earlier this year, but can I just ask that is there a time limit that your warn will go down after, if you don't step out of line or have it upped?

Extraordinary Golf at Alton Towers was a fantastic addition to the park back in 2007. I love it, and this is certainly one of the best-themed courses I've ever played on. I generally like mini golf.Which is your favourite hole? I'm still trying to decide. :PDiscuss Extraordinary Golf here.

Outfit, I know you're being sarcastic, and I ain't criticising you...but why do people here act so surprised when all rides are running? It does happen at Thorpe Park, you know.

The Tidal Wave gas cylinder has not worked for years, yet even though it won't ever work along the supply it originally did, it's still easy to fix."How?" I hear you say.Easy.Install a machine or some sort of device capable of blowing fire inside the gas cylinder, which runs off a brand new supply, and not the old one. It may involve closing Tidal Wave for about a week if they did it mid-season, but it'd be worth it.

Fastrack - something I used to love when it was free. Something I know loathe.If Thorpe can offer 20% off on food, drink and gifts for Annual Pass holders, they can at least offer a discount for all Fastrack tickets, even if it's only a 10% or 15% saving.But at the way it is at the moment, there's not a hope in hell I'll ever use Fastrack.

Saw's final cost was £13.5m wasn't it? What was it meant to be?Also, apologies in advance if this has been asked already, but is there a download for the entire queueline audio, with all the announcements that keep popping up? I've heard it's about a 3-hour-long loop. Even if it's a couple of tracks, is it available anywhere please?

Ewan is a legend, certainly very helpful, informative and polite. And he has a sense of humour to perhaps "ease" things.There is a guy working there this year (can't remember if he was there last year). He is short, with black spikey hair, in his mid-20's. Not English I don't think. Middle-eastern perhaps?

I've heard it was for 2011, but later than '11 would seem more sensible, because as you mention, new islands. Look at Saw, it was 2007 the land for it was infilled, then it was left for a year and a bit before work started on Saw itself. It's gotta give itself time to adjust, just like the land along Colossus' loops is doing this year, ready for next year. If they infill some land for a new coaster in 2010, the the chances are construction will be in 2011, ready for 2012. You're idea gives me an idea. Alton have got Extraordinary Golf based on their rides - Thorpe should do one too!

Some random woman asked if she could have that pic? Hehe.

Here's a piccie I Google'd:Or let's go all-out!:

Let's say 4ft then - 1.2m.
