TapiocaCoors or Coors light?

That queue looks awesome. Blood on the floor? Wicked.So if they've got a fastrack queue and a main queue, I assume this is the first coaster to be built at Thorpe in years without a front seat queue?Mind you, we don't need it.
-
Yep, it was built in 1998 and opened that year. There's a good construction archive at Thorpe Park Guide.comAlso, I dunno if there would be enough room for an Enterprise in Rodeo's old home. Chessie will never get one, gaurunteed.

There is the sample of the Quantum music on his website. I really like this album cover, which is no longer available:

On most rides, mine's usually about 5 clicks.

Hang on, in 2000 Vamp still had the old cars but in 2001's overhaul it had the new Vekoma ones put on for 2002. So in 2000 it would've been the same as 1990.
-
Well nor was Vampire when it was 10 in 2000.
-
Huh?You'd be wrong.
-
I think everyone has forgotten that this year Rattlesnake was 10 years old.

No source.Brand new beige wheels are seen on Colossus at the start of every season - you cannot fail to miss that!
-
Does anyone know where I can find the WWTP jingle on it's own without the "WWTP Radio!" voice? I'm after a crisp, clear version.
-
No we cannot. And new trains is not going to sort out the roughness. Don't forget each train has a new set of wheels for every season, and at the beginning of the seasons, the ride is still rough!Can we get Colossus some new trains, please! Would sort out roughness, and the awkwardness that is loading.
Yes, as my mate with size 15 once found out!Not to mention the lack of legroom, argh it hurts.
Being dragged off the top of any lift hill is great! I must ride Nemesis at the back when I go back in February!Being dragged off the top of the lift hill is great!

Detonator seems to be 50/50. Some days it has a good days and and some it has bad. It seems that since they introduced the awful music that you can't hear when walking past it hs gone downhill. I haven't rode it since mid-2006. Another thing I hate is the rumbling noise it makes from the box at the side when the catch car is driving back down.

Enough of what? I have not started anything.People can't see here that it wasn't safe to let it get up the lift hill before letting them off. Because I certainly wouldn't let that happen. People here are turning around what I am saying. If they can't see that letting it get up the lift hill wasn't safe before hitting the emergency stop button, then that's not my fault. Surely before the despatch the ride operator must have realised something was wrong, because then the team would've realised and not let anyone load, thus evacuating the queueline. It's a bit different if it left the station and that point they realised something was wrong.It is clear it left the station and headed for the lift hill, they then hit the emergency stop button. Therefore a ride operator and other employees are responsible.
No, no, no, no, no! And this is where people are wrong. Cripes at this rate I'm gonna have to spell it out sentance for sentance, for actually what happened, and what should have happened. I'm sorry Mark, but you've seen it just like everyone else has here - completely wrong.His point is that they should have let the train go all the way round instead of E-stopping it on the lift hill.
-
Exactly the point everyone's missing - it got halfway up the damn hill before it e-stopped. It shouldn't have! If you suspect something's wrong, let the last train finish and then investigate it.
-
No, I'd hold people back. I wouldn't even test-run an empty train. Loading the train and risking lives is not an option.
-
I just wish they'd update the ride photos in the queueline. The same one's been there for years! Especially the girl in the pink with hands over her eyes and her hair flying right back.
-
Yeah, I love that one too. Loved it more before it got rethemed.
-
Well I'm glad that's that cleared up. That picture had me baffled.
-
And you've just been reported!Just because we're all visitors and you're a ride operator, and visitors don't know that much, are we all morons? Because according to you we are.Well Peter, I know how things work, and I know I'm right on this.I'm sure more than half the operators find out somethings wrong, decide to fill up a train, check restraints send then estop on lift. Such a laugh. Theme park bloke - you are a moron, goodbye.

Is that the section that goes to the left in the picture, of the section which comes towards us?The latest update of pictures certainly are the best. Am I right in thinking that the CCR is going a slightly different route now? I mean, yeah, it's going the same route that it was changed to in 2007, but surely one or 2 sections of it will be different thanks to Saw?!You never know, the CCR may be packed next year! Anything for a good view!Looking at the picture, I hope the cars make it up that banked turn into the brakerun
Great picture though. -
Another rant:In the papers, I keep on reading about Strictly Come Dancing, and how John Sergeant's poor dancing is making the public love him and keep him in, and infuriating the judges! So what?! If they love it, keep him, yes, so why are the judges wanting him out, no matter how bad it is!I wanna keep Christine Bleakley and Rachel Stevens in, now what do you say about that judges, has that annoyed you?
-
Ooh, an update!
I love that spiral staircase!The theming's starting to happen, as is the electrics for lighting and power! Comissioning of the ride starts in January. And this is interesting too: "The general area around the ride is starting to take shape with some of the foundations for theming being prepared and the excavation of the channel which will turn the site for SAW - The Ride, into an island."
