JoshC.

Little bit disappointed that the mist today wasn't as large in quantity today. Didn't have quite as much as impact as the mist when it's at the beginning of the tunnel, like it's been for most of the season.Though a big well done to the staff today, who were dispatching absolutely fantastically!

David and Karen and Two and a Half Men should have got through yesterday to be honest.Really liked Circus of Horrors (would love for them to be able to perform at Thorpe for FN ) and Les.

I've never found the water that bad - could be better, but it's not terrible.There was that dodgy smell after the tunnel mind, though I haven't actually noticed that this season at all..

There have been plenty of times I can count of when staff have not followed the rules of the card - probably more intentionally than unintentionally!One time on Stealth a couple of years back, on a half hour queue, our card didn't yet signed at all. We even said 'here's our card' and the woman there just said don't worry. I won't lie, we didn't say any more and just went on the ride - but if staff won't bother, it's not our problem.Though, to be fair, 2010 onwards, they've been quite firm, but fair, when filling it out.

Sorry Rollercoaster, but to be a pain, is it possible to have the text in red? Cheers

I've always heard and thought it cost £8million, which I've thought to be reasonable. :S

I can't remember the last time I saw it it working.Pretty sure it's been 'unavailable' since last season, perhaps even since 09 season...

Manchester United are seemingly cursed at Wembley. I can't remember the last time they actually won there...

When one of your teachers rights on your tentative end-of-year report 'You must meet deadline dates; you missed the last one', when you actually handed it in on time and when it wasn't actually marked.

To be honest, if some Eurofighters can stall after the 'extreme' weather conditions of today (ie, a bit of rain and some faster-than-normal wind), then I wouldn't see the point in building them in the UK...If what you've heard is true, I'm more than a little bit surprised...

Firstly, it's Atlantis Submarine Voyage. ;)Here's stuff from opening day last Friday, including a video from onride: http://go-merlin.co.uk/wp/archives/2817 (Taken from GM, all copyright to them, yadda yadda yadda). From reviews I've read, sounds like a decent attraction for Legoland. Not entirely sure about Dino Dipper, been years since I visited Lego...

To be fair, Thorpe's reliability has been top notch this season. Sure, some rides have had their blips, and the situation with two major coasters and the new ride down that occurred is awful, but it has still been good for the majority of the season.Strange for me to defend the park's reliability, but hey-ho. It's been very good this season, and there's just the unfortunate blip...

I too have got into the 'crack squads', though after a bit of persistence. ;)Haven't heard anything yet, though by the sounds of it, I think Les is waiting till the crack squad is 'full' before any more info is released to us. Fake or not? I think it could be real, but if it's not, I've enjoyed the ride so to say...

My mum and nan were able to get their AP's in March with the Capital FM Voucher thing, but were able to have them expire at the end of next April (as their previous pass was due to run out at the end of April, but the voucher expired at the end of March). They had to give up their old passes though.Not sure whether it always works like that, or was just a one-of..

Gotta love LWV's Facebook response to this...

Unlikely, I'd say.When Saw's was revised, it was to get rid of a MCBR (and, in turn, an inversion?) and replace it with the airtime hill.I don't think there's any reason for this one to be changed really, so I doubt we'll see a change.

The LC12 Twitter account is genuine. It's linked to LC12.net, which is advertised on park.

Okay, sorry to detract from the whole smoking conversation, but I just realised I didn't post the second half my TR. Ah well, better late than never...So, after my ride on Vampire, it was decided that I HAD to buy an ORP, what with it being the 21st anniversary. We decided to get a photo pass; on offer - 5 photos for £17.50 - very fair in my eyes.The Vampire ORP.Greeted by this in the ORP desk area.To say I bought a bit is an understatement. In the Vampire shop, I bough two Vampire XXI bears, two Vampire XXI pin badges and one of the original Vampire bears! And, I bought more later too in the main shop. :whist I was in the mood for treating myself, okay? Oh, and you got a Vampire ice cube tray if you spent over £2 on Vampire merchandise. Meh, all the more really!Anyway, we felt it was time for lunch. We were wandering to what the rest of my family thought was the Greedy Goblin, but when I told them it was the Chicken Shack (or whatever), we still decided to eat there as we were basically there. To be honest, it's just a Nandos rip off and, whilst I like Nandos, I much preferred GG. Waiting for food makes me do strange things... Though, it does show of the Vampire XXI bear nicely. After food, we decided to wander round the Trail of the Kings, which is a sorta must do now when I'm with the family.The silver back (correct name for the biggest one?) sleeping by the window.Taking a poo...Hiding the evidence.A wider shot of the gorillas.Roar, it's a tiger.The other one was lazing it up in the heat.Random photo of the tigers really; just wanted them in the same shot. Rawr, I'm a lion.Erm, I dunno, I'm running out of witty captions now. It's a lion okay? Smile for the camera!One of the tigers seemed to be having a funny five minutes...A fossa. How cute!Awwww...The info board.So that was that for the Trail of the Kings. I must say one thing that increasingly annoys me is the two way walking system. In honesty, I'd prefer it if it was just one way - it makes it so much easier and would probably be a bit nicer too.After that, I headed over to the Twilight Zone for a third time, again, I was alone. The actors had changed, but I must say I found it simply incredibly - quite possibly one of the best experiences I've had in a scare attractions - ever. Review in the appropriate topic. We did a bit of wandering a little bit of shopping. We popped into the main Chessington shop, and I picked up a Vampire keyring and Vampire mug with a teddy vampire inside as well. Meh. We then decided to do Tomb Blaster, for fun. ORP was bought with the photopass:The Tomb Blaster ORPAfter a bit more wandering and taking in the general atmosphere, it was time to go home. I must say that whilst we didn't have the largest of ride counts, and with it being extremely busy, I still had a marvellous day. However, Chessie really has turned into a park that is just too big to explore in one day!The Vampire merchandise I bought! :coffee So, that's it. Was more photos then text in the end, but still, thanks for having a look!

Construction is scheduled to start in May...We are only half way through May, nothing to worry about...

Thanks for clearing that up Mr Hicks. :mellow:I totally forgot about horizontal / vertical components being completely different. A few months of no mechanics and I've forgotten loads of it... :$

Sorry to try and pick holes, but just something I thought about... :)Why have you used the initial velocity as 0? Surely there'd be 'some' velocity to start off with due to the lift hill? Unless I'm missing something obvious..
