    I will be going, am also looking at coming down to Thorpe on the Saturday for one last abuse of the Merlin Pass for the year
  2. Sheepie, the pain continues every day, for the rest of your life. But it gets a little bit less every day. Love does hurt, and we are mostly fools for love who both can't believe how much of an impact another person can make on our liife or, on the other foot, how dependant some people become on us. So hang in there, trust your new friend a bit more every day, tell him how you are feeling and, if he is worth anything, he will give you the space to heal. If he doesn't, then add him to the scrapheap.

    Rush

    The shortest queue, of the bigger rides, is probably Slammer. Possibly due to it being the 'scariest' ride in the park.Rush has almost always had a decent queue when I have been.

    Nothing special with mine at all... I like a plain old background, no widgets, no hassle ... just stupid, pain in the neck Vista POS.
  17. As much of a pain in the arse as it is for me to get to Thorpe
  18. Yeah I know exactly what you mean innit! I have given up trying to follow the Saw stuff since yesterday :)Bear in Mind that Flamingoland have added rides year on year for the last 7 years - 4 coasters in 5 years speaks for its self.If it turns out to be another GeForce I will put my Flamingoland Season Pass in that new Thorpe Bin! The Park seem to have done their homework on this one, and were in Indiana in the summer to check out Steel Hawg, so yeah I am confident that I will be able to keep my pass :)As far as reliability of S&S rides, I think that the general reliability of Thorpe has been the worst of any Park I have visited, except for Walibi Belgium which comes a close second. Thorpes reliability this season has improved massively, although they still have some way to go. S&S reliability seems not to have been an issue outside of Thorpe - Liseberg's 'Rush' never seems to fail and I have heard little downtime on Fly Swat since it's teething troubles were ironed out - bear in mind that it was the prototype.There is yet another ride to be announced for the Park, they weren't going to release the El Loco information until the end of the season, but felt that they might as well as Saw was named surprisingly early. However, as you say, no matter whether it is a World Record coaster, if it ain't at Thorpe, who cares. Flamingoland are also increasing their advertising next year as they believe they now have sufficient capacity to increase their attendance.
  19. It has now been confirmed on RCDB that the best kept secret in the UK, Flamingolands' new coaster for 2009 will be an S&S El Loco.SourceThe only other El Loco in the world opened in Indiana Beach this summer, as Steel HawgThe one at Flamingoland will feature a World first 125 degree first drop and will be 120 feet high.Sorry Saw
  20. So Staines then.... INNIT
  21. Let's see.The site is LIVE!
  22. I can prejudge this ride, because I have ridden all three Eurofighters in Europe - Typhoon, Speed and Rage. They are all nce enough rides, but completely NOT reridable due to the massive pounding headache you end up with. Don't get me wrong, any new coaster in the UK is a great thing, but ask yourselves this: Why have mainland Europe only got one?As for the name, well Saw innit
  23. Yeah they are mastering the PR hype at the moment ... well they are doing a great job dressing mutton as lamb ... it's just a Eurofighter after all.
