  1. On the original track, isn't it Davina?
  2. Since Eclipse went to Chessington in 2005, has anyone else noticed how Chessington haven't installed then?
  3. I'm kinda with you on that one, Saw's certainly gonna be an awesome ride, and I'm sure the experience of it will be thrilling, but it probably won't be the most thrilling and best at Thorpe Park. However, it's theming is spot on, it's right up my alley. It's gotta be right or people would soon start commenting on how it's nothing like the Saw movies.
  4. I love it when I was there last week, the announcements about another tidal wave on it's way, and the whole ride was closed and dry, and the area was totally abandoned! Comical.
  5. I like the spiral staircase, as seen in this picture:
  6. They look real from a distance, but I can't get closer to them.According to the ride blog on sawtheride.com, they've done over 250 test runs since 20th January!
  7. I like the fans in the side of the station. Are they real and spin? Or are they fixed? They're certainly not painted on, unlike Charlie at Alton Towers.
  8. All these suggestions are a good idea, but remember the costs involved! We are in a recession, and Merlin and Thorpe, like other companies, are no doubt cutting back their costs as much as they can.
  9. Another coaster is planned to go in the lake next to Colossus in the future, but that's years off, probably not until about 2015. Plus they need to land infill that and let nature take it's course.But with Saw, why are they land infilling this now, surely it needs time to set, like the main Saw land that was infilled in 2007? And I never knew a 2nd bridge was being planned, must be something that's been added to the project.Now I feel:They need to crust Crust right down to the ground.
  10. Hang on a minute, I was under the impression the land infilling from Crust, right along Colossus' inline twists was for the next coaster planned there. But it's actually for the Saw link?
  11. The park should pay more attention to the little things, like the damn metal measuring stick which I have noticed has been stuck in a tree in Quantum's queue line since last September!
  12. "Sugar Puffs, Sugar Puffs, coming up..."God how that wound me up in Vortex's queue last year.
  13. Is this picture really you? It's nice.

    Anything chocolate that can be deep fried is nice, although I've never tried any. Don't tell the Danish!
  15. Where exactly is Saw's entrance going to be? Because at the moment I'm confused where the queueline is going. The only thing that's recognisable on Saw at the moment is the station and track coming out of it, into the tower. I'm sure it will all come together in time for opening day, but I'd at least expect to recognise where to walk by now, etc.Also, Colosuss's queue is meant to be linking the area, there's no sign of this happening yet...?
  16. Nemmie's a fine ride and certainly one of my favourites, she's so smooth! I've always liked it and favoured Colossus more, but I find this varies now. One thing that has got annoying about Colossus in the past few years is it's roughness and os Nemmie you don't get that.
  17. Do you mean the old track or the new one? It's got to the point where I've heard the songs in Amity so many times now, and whenever I hear them on a normal radio in a shop or car etc, I can't help but think of Tidal Wave.
  18. 8 weeks, 3 months, I'm hearing different amount of times that Jade has to live.The truth is, nobody knows.
  19. I noticed the cog mechanism too, but it could be for effect. Oh well, we'll all have to wait and see if it spins.
  20. Exactly. Calling it Sharkbait Reef is just confusing it more. It could easily be a restaurant, but it ain't.
  21. I'm against you there. It's down to Alton to provide the red carpet if they want people to enjoy the magical days out. Tussauds opened it as a theme park in the late 70's. Up until then, apart from several yearly events at the park, the volume of traffic seen today never went up those roads in the 20th century. Alton may be the worst for traffic upto the park, but Chessington is probably second worst, surely we've all seen the queues on the main road sometimes? More like we're all used to the "Thorpes rules suck, let's put up with it constantly, my name's Muggins" rule. It's so narrow, and that's what gets me. You can't even pass a lorry without pulling in somewhere. If Staffordshire Council won't fund a bypass road the least they can do is take down the stone walls along the entire road and widen it somehow? If they can't even do that then I really wouldn't wanna live in Staffordshire.

    I'll give it a go - cheers. Can someone tell me please where I can locate it? Is it available in Sandbox mode and other modes? If someone can post a screengrab telling me which button to push that would be great.
  23. Babe's cousin had come to visit:
  24. It's good that they've actually given it a name, unlike Chessington who just call it the SeaLife Centre. But then again, is giving it a name a good idea, a lot of people might hear the name and think "What's that?!"
