Chessington Music
Yeah, about time! This tune is not the best around, admittedly, but it certainly is entertaining! I just wish they'd pump up the volume at the entrance, every year it gets quieter!

Chessington Music
No need to name call and type in capital letters. Because if you actually bothered to read the damn thing properly you'll see Seb says "Bubbleworks station music for the post-2006 retheme is not available anywhere" - post-2006, meaning before the retheme. So there's the station music that I originally linked to.Now who's the spaz?

Vampire
I checked the Chessington website again yesterday and it said Vampire is still unavailable. Something must be seriously wrong with it. It's been closed all this week. But according to the website now, it's up and running, it's gone from the list.Someone must know what's been wrong with it? There's always someone that knows.

Chessington Music
Lord knows what's happened to Merlin Media's main page lately, but all the content it still there on the site with the downloads available. I know a cheat, here's the link to the Thorpe Park audio page:Merlin Media - Thorpe Park audio page (click) I originally got it from ReRide and the same for the other umpteen tracks of Bubbleworks. And it's still there now:http://www.reride.net/parks/chessington/bu...orks/music.html Long may it live for another 18!

Dragon Falls
Anyone seen the Merlion in Chessington? It's near Fall's entrance. Well here is the real one in Singapore. And boy is it huge, I saw it over 10 years ago, and even from high up in a cable car it's still massive.

Alton Audio
Is this different to the 2006 theme? And is it still on Air this year? (I am going in a few weeks).

Chessington Music
Where can I download the station music? Remember, this is track no. 2 that used to play outside when it was Professor Burp.

Vampire
Popped down for a while on Sunday - what's going on with Vampire? It was closed, and apparently was on the 9th too. Has it been closed since, or on random days? It was closed back in July for a day or two and although it's reliable, it's the most number of times I've seen it closed in years.

Rameses Revenge
Boy, was Rameses having trouble on Sunday afternoon, around 1:15pm! After about 10 minutes of trouble with the restraints trying to lock, the ride eventually got going. It went round once, then stopped with the arms just off-horizontally and let the carriage spin several times. When the arms didn't start to move again after a few seconds, it was clear it had got stuck, and the carriage swung to a standstill. In under 5 minutes the ride was reset and brought back down to base.Yet another reason why the rustbucket should go.

Samurai
Hmm, another set of pictures of it being packed up should be floating around Christmas then. Can anyone really imagine it flying about in black or brown though?!They might call it the Dark Warrior.

Thorpe Park Annual Pass
So there's no renewal rate then?

Your Thorpe Park Photos
I know you're not allowed to take them on a normal camera or cameraphone, because it's all property of Picsolve. I never realised until I read the signs there's regulations on this sort of thing!

Samurai
Contact with trees never happened at Chessington - too tall. Sorry mate, but that doesn't confirm anything. Like Mark said about Bubbleworks, they love spending money. Well sometimes, you have to wonder if Thorpe do. They'll replace the least priority things first knowing them. How the hell did that happen?

Queue Times
Who knows if it's shorter or longer, it was a V shaped bit of queue that was snipped off. Blimey, I didn't even queue an hour for my first ride on Tidal Rave on a hot sunny sweltering day back in 2006.

Wouldn't it be great if Rich could just stop dictating. Dan, reponse to no. 1: I'm not trying to get his posts deleted. Perhaps he does have a point but he's just putting it rudely.Reponse to no. 2: I'm not agressive, and I wasn't warning anyone. I was telling him. And he was telling me what to do.I'm sick of people thinking they're right around here, and them thinking that they say goes, end of. Well sadly, it doesn't work like that.
