Some interesting results there to say the least! Have to say I flat out disagree with the Best UK Flat ride - how Slammer is even in the top 3 I do not know. Feel as though Swarm should have won best UK coaster (of course ) and Sanctuary best UK Themed Experience. Other than that, I largely agree with the park awards, even if they're not what I voted for, they are worthy winners. As for the Forum Awards - Biggest Fanboy two years running? Yay - thanks guys! Was convinced Marc would steal his crown back this year. Quite surprised at coming second in Best Member and Most Knowledge; thanks for that guys. Agree with all the Forum Awards winners - all deserving winners there! Thanks again SIdders for doing this again.

I too remember this that conversation now you mention it; must admit I 'knee'ly forgot about that... Looks as though I've got a bit of a stalker, as Mr Horry has got mine right again.. -I've never fractured / broken a bone in my body; the first one was a complete lie. -With the RMT incident at Chessie, it was at the end of the ride, I pushed the lap bar up and started to get up - but I think the person in front of me caught my lap bar, and it fell back down, hitting me straight on top of the head. I jarred my neck, had trouble moving it and was over-protective of it, and still am a little bit to this day. I still have slight neck issues now, but it's nothing serious thankfully. -On New Year's Day 2011, I went to sit down, and somehow my knee twisted out of place - I physically felt it 'move out of the socket' - and then twist back in place. It all happened so fast I really don't know how to describe it; all I know is that it hurt. For some reason, I think doctors seemed to think I was drinking on New Year's Eve, so put it down to drunken mishaps (even though I don't drink...). It happened again a few months later, and when I was a doctor he said "I agree with you that it twisted out of place, then back in place. I don't know how, but the important thing is that it's in place.". My knee now clicks and creaks and is weaker than the other one, which is now starting to muck up my other knee, as it's over-compensating because it's stronger. The joy.. Over to Horry...

Afraid not Sidders (all will be explained when someone guesses correctly.. )

So you were caught stealing? Tut tut Here we go... 1) I fractured my arm at school when I was 6 years old, but because I was a shy boy, I didn't tell anyone about the pain for nearly 2 days. 2) When I was 9, a lap bar fell on my head on the Runaway Mine Train at Chessington. As a result, I jarred my neck and had trouble moving it properly for several months. I still have slight neck issues to this day because of the incident. 3) Last year, my knee twisted 'out of place' when I went to sit down on the toilet, and then twisted back in place - it was rather painful. Since then, I have had troubles with my knee, and it irregularly 'twists' out of place.

I'm gonna guess "I have been caught trying to steal on CCTV". (You're a sly one Mer - if you ever tried to steal, you'd make sure you were never caught ).

Contender for Christmas Number 1?

http://www.facebook....></param><embed Chessington have released a video via their Facebook page showing the arrival of the 3 rhinos. Also gives little pieces of info: -Zufari is the size of "15 football pitches". -The rhinos came from Portugal, France and Holland. -Zufari has been in the works since 2009 (perhaps this was the "major investment" that was rumoured for 2014 when there were behind the scenes talks for Wild Asia, except pulled forward a year?)

Thorpe following in Alton's footsteps with U-turn decisions? I wouldn't complain one bit about this, but makes you wonder about the decision to remove it in the first place really if this is true. Next year is certainly looking interesting in my eyes, with perhaps some decent spruce-ups of rides and such. I wonder if we'll see a slightly bigger focus on targeting 'up for it' families like was mentioned in the Crash Pad PR as well, considering it seems to be a quiet year on the thrill front?

I think Seastorm was open last year? Not too sure, wasn't really paying attention to it... The thing with Zoo Days is that it's specifically for the zoo, hence the name. The 2-3 rides they open are as a bonus if anything; the park isn't meant to open. Having Tomb Blaster open makes no sense, other than it being an indoor attraction, as it is away from all the zoo and it would be pointless for guests to walk round part of a park which has no rides open / winter maintenance to be done, just for one ride. Zufari construction has nothing to do with it, due to the fact Tomb Blaster has never open on Zoo Days (to my recollection at least). With the opening of Zufari, there's access from Wanjama Village, so I don't see why any more of the park would need to be opened, though I guess if the park really want and maintenance wasn't required, it could be possible for them to open Tomb Blaster. I just don't see why they'd need to though?

Mr Horry is correct! I did actually enter a science competition when I was 14, and did write about "renewable energy, focusing mainly on roller coasters, specifically one called 'Green Dragon'", but only made it into the top 50. To jjh123horry...

1) One time in a nightclub, some guy who looked like one of my best mates, pinched my bum. I then danced with him in a joking manner, like I always do with this friend, only for the guy to go away awkwardly shouting 'It was a dare'. 2) When I was 14, I came third in a national science competition for writing an essay about renewable energy, focusing mainly on roller coasters, specifically one called 'Green Dragon'. 3) I got a scar on my hand, which is now very faint, after cutting it on a door.

Am I allowed my go now?
