Theme Park bloke

Quantum is a beast! I love it. It never used to be for me, but it is now. If it does, it's only a couple of times at the most. Me too. And talking of queueing, has anyone spotted the metal height measuring stick that's been stuck up in a tree since last summer? It's in a tree to the left as you stand and look at the steps leading upto the ride. I'll photograph it when I'm next there and post it in this topic.

Cheers, you're a hero!

James, I ain't gonna diss you for having Steps on your iTunes. I may even go and get the "Step One" album CD out later tonight! Instrumental versions of their songs on your YouTube account, now that's g33ky (like me).

Merlin Media doesn't have it. There are just some tracks out there that are a sod to find.

Don't staff get in hot water for giving this sort of information to visitors?

I just disagree that it's the world's scariest.

Many people may diss Abba (not necessarily members here), but I for one admire them. There was music, simple, class and they were a great bunch in their heyday.And can you really blame Steps for trying to follow in their footsteps? I don't.

Yes. Man, she was a stunner.

Saw is being described as the world's scariest rollercoaster.OK, if they say so.

Now that is something I'll never get the hang of!

I am really upset by Natasha Richardson's lady's death. She was a fantastic actress, really beautiful, and I shall miss her. I shall not watch the Parent Trap in the same way again. She died doing what she loved - how tragic.Bless her. R.I.P.

Yeah, they played the sneezing one, then the other, the sneezing one again. This was outside, before the refurb.Now they play the sneezing one, then the other, the sneezing one again inside the station.

Yeah, me too. I'm off BK for a while after my recent experience.I've had a flyer come through the post about a Chessington preivew day tomorrow (22nd). It has an address of Merlin Entertainments, Lexicon House, Midleton Road, Guildford GU2 8XP on it, in small writing. I knew of the Merlin in Chessington's Barwell Business Park, but Guildford?

The new Thorpe Park mugs with the new logo on them are good, but look at the graphics on the bottom, could be better.

Altough Stealth's opening is a focal point at the moment, Saw's reliability is more. However, I'm glad to see they're finally testing it, as I haven't even seen a train take to the top hat for months! Is it faster, is it still Stealth 1.1?

Yes, I remember seeing it working well on Sunday.

Flamin' Slammer - every year since they put it in, it has failed to open with the main season, and if it has opened, it's shut within 5 minutes because of something going belly up with it.

Can I just ask, is there going to be another Questions to Thorpe Park time soon?

Ooh, some changes? Are the lockers where the Fastrack was?

I have the main old Professor Burp's Bubbleworks exterior theme, but not the alternate one. I have the one where he sneezes but it's the other track I'm after. Any clues, people? It's not on Merlin Media.

Where have you heard these rumours? This year? And removing Samurai from a park is very different to removing the Vamp. Oh yeah? Do tell. He said "around the Vampire", so it'll still be there. You only have to drive past the Monkey Puzzle on the Leatherhead Road and look behind it to see the first lift hill and track. It was there the other day...strangely. Did you get any bubblegum with that? Soon, you say. Well, the Vamp may be kept until it gets very old and out of date like Corkscrew was.People forget that Transylvania is literally moulded to the Vampire. Don't forget that it's supports do partially hide behind walls of Burger King, and how it flocks round the corner between the 2 buildings. Can you imagine walking through Transylvania without it there? Especially drop and right-hand bend after the second lift hill. It just wouldn't look right.When the Vampire goes, so does Transylvania, and possibly Bubbleworks. It would mean a totally new beginning for that area of the park, especially in groundwork terms, as they'd have to dig so much up to remove it's giant supports. Transylvania would be flattened and be no more.

I told her I'm not scared of her.

Yesterday I had a Samurai pod all to myself. And is it slower this year? I was almost asleep! Also, I was on row 3, it came back down on row 4, has it gone back to the old days of your pod landing on any one it chooses?

Not up and running, like it was scheduled to be today? Hell Stealth, you're getting some major TLC.

You may be right.I saw these 2 on Sunday:I dunno what day this photo was from because we saw them outside the Saw area, near Samurai. That girl is hot! She tickled me on the head with her whip thingy, and I was watching her walk about, and couldn't stop watching. :)On Sunday (my disasterous day when I didn't get on anything), my mate asked a member of staff what was inside the station and queueline, she said it's a surprise. I then mentioned I knew about the live actors, and the look on her face dropped just like that! Busted!
