No, I'm talking about when you sit on the very edge and look over to the side.Wherever you sit in the front row (but only if you don't par attention to the swinging blades), you can see the drop and soemtimes, you can see the spikes as well.

Looking at the above image of the Fish's old place at Thorpe, it would be fair to say that the entrance is close to where the Stealth Diner is today.

Can anyone tell me what happened to the Cred Street Carousel? Is it still at the park in storage or did it get taken away?
-
Never used them but ButlinsGherkins or pickled eggs?

It's funny you should mention about it needing a new layout, because I remember going on the Skyway when I was about 10, and I'm sure it covered a lot more of the park than it did today, or was that because the park was smaller back then? And did it have another layout before?It does need some TLC though, and a new layout is ideal. But just think of all the work involved, it would probably be out for an entire season.

Does anyone have a clue how much the ship alone weighs? Surely it has to be craned out when removed for maintenance?It is the highest and one of the largest in the world, it's also got a new Vortex style batching area.

Me too, usually it's a 10-minute queue and then I'll go on. Any longer and I wont bother.How can you walk past Quantum with out wanting to ride
I have to go on it everytime I go pass it

If you sit on the edge to the right, and look down to your right before you go down the drop where the swinging blades are, you can see the track below, thanks to some daylight shining in. And if you look back up to your left after going down the drop, you can see the track above you as it comes round the corner.

Hurrah, about time! Another one for the Favorites menu.Do you have to sign up to download music?

Yes - look at the bunny hop through the shop window. You can see 2 grey brackets on the track that weren't there last year.

Warns cover more than spelling.

Is Stealth up and running yet? And what was up with it last weekend?
-
Perhaps this is why I found it rough last weekend.Ive found that if you sit in one of the middle seats it is much smoother than on the outside.

SummerTattoo or piercing?

I watched it from 6:30pm until the end lastnight, it was very interesting and moving. Although I didn't know half the people coming up on stage to talk about him, I did agree with most things that were said.And then this just made me reach for the Kleenex, as did everyone else:
-
In the queue line is written "leah and lucy tokio hotel, look em up" - so I did. Didn't get far though.
-
Exactly, they will still happen.they are still going to happen occaisionally.

Had an OK ride on Quantum yesterday, it started off as normal, before doing 2 "over the top" swings, and then it took us back up to the top and stopped right there, at the very top, for about half a minute, before it swung back down, and the ride was over. Odd.
-
I went on Saw again yesterday, the whole ride did feel a little bumpy...?
-
It was open all day yesterday, running like a dream.On a brighter note, Canada Creek Railway has re-opened.
-
They can't stop it from rolling back, not permanently anyway. OK, so it may go through a phase of not many rollbacks, but to say that Stealth will never rollback again is like saying Slammer will never fault again - unpredictable, yet so true.I asked a ride host on Stealth why it hasnt rolled back for a long time, she said they have stopped it rolling back, although she didnt say how
-
You can't blame them though. First-timers don't exactly "know the way", unlike us regulars who do.

Blimey.
That's an old fashioned method. I think the girl in the picture is thinking "Where do I put my 50p in...?"
