Exactly, also Thorpe don't update their website alot so more often than not a ride can be open half a day- a day before they update their website.

Closed Rides
To be honest, people exagerate(sp?) how bad Thorpe's reliability is, IMO its not that bad, I only see a ride on the unavailable list once every 1/2 weeks and thats not bad, usually they are up the next day anyway, alot of people on here just have a grudge against Thorpe becuase of what happend the first day of Thrill Chill and the 14th/15th March, give them a second chance the last 4/5 times I have been there has been full ride availability.

Closed Rides
I agree, Thorpe doesn't want their rides to be down, its not their fault that their rides seem to break down alot, I think half of it is the fact that they get so many visitors compared to Chessington so you can't really compare the two, in fact Thorpe is open longer that Chessington so the rides are being used more, hence why there are more breakdowns at Thorpe rarther than at Chessington, anyway Stealth is open again.

Aqualand
I was looking through the topics and realised there was no Aqualand topic, so I created one ,Aqualand is a chain water park with parks around Europe, there are none in the UK (makes sense since the weathers no good) they have parks in the Canary Islands, Portugal, Spain, and the south France,they have amazing water slides with some rides re-appearing at different parks,I have been to one in Spain before and it was great each park has a differen't style ride so all parks aren't the same, I am going to one in Portugal next week in the Algarve, Here is a link to their Algarve site (I can't find the official one, there is one, but I can't find it) Click,Discuss these amazing water parks here!

Thorpe Park Trip Reports
Yeah you aren't, it doesn't make sense, BB's are for people who bought tickets into the park and its a cheap way of them coming back, but with an AP you can come back anyway, Thorpe don't want AP holders buying BB tickets since they will be afraid they will sell them in order to make money, basically cheating Thorpe.

Rameses Revenge
Yeah, everytime I have been I haven't seen it with longer than a 20min queue, its becuase it has a 1.4m restriction, and most people that visit Chessington are families so won't take their children on it.

Thorpe Park Trip Reports
Actually Sam, you are supposed to, there are many posters advertising BB's and AP's around the park and they do say todays entrance ticket must be shown, its the staffs fault if they don't ask for it as they should, its something that they should do.

Samurai
Yeah, I heard it was faster and more thrilling at Chessington, its a shame I never got to ride it, is there a reason why Thorpe didn't change its name? becuase its a little out of place in Lost City...
