    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.
  11. I also look great

    Nothing special with mine at all... I like a plain old background, no widgets, no hassle ... just stupid, pain in the neck Vista POS.
  13. As much of a pain in the arse as it is for me to get to Thorpe
  14. 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.
  15. 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
  16. So Staines then.... INNIT
  17. Let's see.The site is LIVE!
  18. 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
  19. 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.

    That's the only one of mine which came true. Otherwise I would be a millionaire, not work, be in a long standing partnership with the one I love, be tall, handsome, have more than a one pack ... the list goes on :)So Psychic I am not.If you are though, please feel free to sort out the above for me
  21. Not as far as I am aware, I remember one being released on a saturday, the other on a Tuesday. I got the nod that they were going up at different times during the day. This would be the first one to be released at midnight.
  22. Tommy, I too was told that the video would be released at midnight.
  23. AeRo replied to Tom's topic in The Real World
    Yeah that is a real scary one.I have had a couple, many years ago, which were premonitions.One where my brother knocked over a tin of beans in the supermarket. A few days later, he did!The second was again my brother falling off the balcony of our flats at the time, seven floors up. I grabbed his hand but couldn't hold him. Thankfully, the second one didn't come true
  24. Oh he is perfectly positioned to judge, especially with large glasses to help him see better with.
  25. So, breathe deeply, scroll to the bottom of the page, and click a name.Repeat in between contractions and enjoy being all sweaty and uncomfortable.Once the baby has arrived, get a nice cup of tea with a fag and you will be fine. :)Oh and I hope you are naming it after me
