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..

Thanks for taking the time to do all that Mr Hicks!

The token Ood was an annoying feature in my eyes.It is certainly a better episode, but this is what I feel should be the 'average standard'. It's definitely not up there with the best..

I hope that this idea of cryptic clues will continue over the coming weeks.It's these sort of things that will really promote a ride, regardless of who's behind the marketing.

Nemesis - An alienOblivion - Government cover up Nemesis Inferno - Natural DisasterAir - Being able to breathe; could relate to drowning in a flood.All have some slight relevance to the videos featuring Lc Militant...

The awkward moment when you make acceleration due to gravity equal 710ms^-2 in your Physics practical...Also:http://www.allout.org/en/petition/ugandaDon't really think it needs any explanation after you've clicked on it...

I see nothing wrong with a Lady Gaga topic. It's just like the Doctor Who topic isn't it? Like, we have a topic for TV shows or something like that, but because Doctor Who is liked by a lot of members, it's appropriate to have a topic dedicated to that to make sure people can discuss other bits of TV.We have a music topic, but because so many people like Lady Gaga, what's wrong with having a topic designated to that so other people can discuss other bits of music easier? It's not like Lady Gaga stuff can't be posted in other topics, just like with Doctor Who, just as long as it's not every other post. I really don't get what all the fuss is about. It's a bit of music, there's no need for people to get into heated debates about it's quality, meaning or anything like that, and there's no need for forum-wide arguments about where it should be blooming discussed...

It comes up with a red box saying:'You are not allowed to use that image extension on this board.':S

Okay, I'm confused...Why am I allowed to post images, yet not allowed to use emoticons? :S

For a second, I thought you were stalking me then...The neighbour I was ranting about in the post above Adam's is called Ian, and as I didn't see Adam's post at first, I thought you were talking to me. Then I saw the word banned and I was confused... :-P

Neighbours.Neighbours who say they'll put up a fence and take away some rubbish from your land left by previous tenants, then go chopping down your trees and going on your land taking photos.

Just reiterating a good point Holly...

Les Coogan is probably little more than the park thinking cleverly and having a 'LC' to play with. The relevance of Les Coogan is probably much more basic than most people think...St Christopher could have relevance to the church that the station is in; I personally don't think it will relate to the 'LC' though..

Different actor today. Not as 'vocal and active' as the other guy, but a bit deranged, confused and verging on a little creepy. However, he was still very effective.I have been told to tell:'Les Coogan has spoken. The End will come in 2012'

Well it looks to be an overwhelming No... :-(

Trains.Especially South West blooming Trains.Though I guess their regular lateness did mean I was still able to get my usual train after being kept behind at college for no reason whatsoever...

Is it wrong that I'm apathetic to all this?He's dead. A big figure head in terrorism is dead. All well and good. But there's still a threat, no? With the Olympics around the corner, I'd expect there to be a high terror threat here whether he's alive or dead. There's still going to be war, there's still going to be terror and so on.One man has died, it's a step in the right direction, but it's not going to change that much in my eyes.

*Waits for a complaint from a Roman Catholic / Orthodox Christian group saying how it's distasteful or disrespectful*

If your cat is still unsure on how they will vote on Thursday, please ensure that they watch this video.

The closest relevance I found was Les Coogan, who has some sort of relevance to boxing... Probably just something he made up in my eyes.
