  1. Amusement parks are rather different to fairgrounds.
  2. Chessington is a family park - for everyone; not a pre-teen. TP is a teen / young adult. Is Thorpe a fairground? No. Then why are they getting one?

    Pfft, had no snow settle at all. Little bit of ice, and that's it.College been going as normal, but my GCSE presentation evening tomorrow at school is cancelled due to the 'bad weather' - yet the roads aren't even icy!

    Your Thorpe Park

    Whilst you are entitled to your view, there are SO many things you are overlooking.The reason why Stealth is a simple up and down is because that is the whole point. It is meant to be a short, sharp WOW moment. And that is what it does. Aesthetically, it looks very good. Sure, it's not necessarily a great ride (it'll be lucky to make it in my top 20 rides to be honest), but it is not a waste of space.Queuing for a long time is not a waste either. People can see what they're going to get. Speed and height. And that's what they're queuing for. They're not queuing for length. They're not queuing for inversions. They're queuing for speed and height. If you don't want just speed and height, don't do Stealth. Simple as.As for the inversions thing. A good ride does not need to go upside. A bad ride doesn't necessarily go upside. It's how the coaster uses those elements. How everything comes together. Just 'cause a ride goes upside down, it doesn't make it the best thing since sliced bread.

    Rita

    Rita - 60/61 MPHStealth - 80MPHAnd, if you want to be pedantic, any coaster can roll back. I do believe there was on occasion where Colossus valleyed on the final turn before the final inline twist. And there's been other occasions where it has happened on chain-lift coasters as well. So yeah, Rita can 'roll back', but whether it can because of the launch, well, I'm not too sure.
  9. Always great to see a new park's signature attraction attracting such substitutional queues...Yep, Formula Rossa's queue for today...
  10. As you said in the 'Your Thorpe Park' topic:

    Television

    Why is Gillian McKeith even in the I'm a Celebrity...?She's not even a celebrity really. And nutrionists have about the same qualifications of a shelf stacker at Tesco anyways...
  18. ^This.Also worth saying Chessington is for families and not for children...

    SAW: Alive

    Was odd seeing Alive out of position today... Are they repainting / renovating the outside or something?

    I'm all for the joke. And I do apologise for the misunderstand there.And you think that the best way of getting it to stop is taking the mick out of the way he writes? Cause I honestly don't think so...

    Best Soap

    When you harass the content, you also harass the producer of said content. And yes, it doesn't take much to write everything on a straight line - in fact, it is easier. But perhaps there could be some other reason why it is happening. And yes, it is slightly tedious readinglike this. However, I don't think it really takesaway from what he is actually saying.

    So harassing someone with a mental disability is big and clever?The joke was fine, but from there it's simply bullying...

    Best Soap

    Have any mods actually said anything to Coasterfreck officially about his grammar / found out any reason why his grammar is so poor / given him any helpful tips on improving his grammar? Might be more productive and mature than harassing a 14 year old boy...Just a thought y'know?
