^Has an 'evil' DP...

To be honest, I was surprised Vortex was that low; I always thought theoretically it was 500-600. Feels a heck of a lot quicker than 350 max too..

My last ride ended up being X:\ No Way Out... Now that truly is WTF...

No way could you have been there that long; huge exaggeration! Probably felt that long, but probably wasn't. I think it depends on the number of trains as to when each train is released. The less number of trains, the longer you spend on the break runs.

I'd more like the zoo to have a universal theme in some ways. Like have each part represent a different continent like the park would. I think it would work better than trying to shoehorn every part into one continent. Though that would prove very hard in practice.. :/

Theoretical most probably. I really cannot see Slammer getting 500pph.

With rides like Depth Charge, I doubt it...And it was fine for me yesterday, and on a long cycle...

Well, this is what'd do over this close season:Some repaving. Couple of parts which are unsafe for wheelchairs.Toilets refurbished. They need it.Things happening to Toytown that could make this rumoured 'Every land represents some continent' easier to do.And from there:Vampire and RMT tune up. Just need a bit more TLC really. Rattlesnake should stay more or less how it is in my eyes. It's fine.A new family roller coaster in the near future (2012-2014) of large scale and throughput.Two family flats.One 'more adult' flat (1.3m / 1.4m restriction) so the older generation are still appealed to. Safari Skyway extension. 'Every land represents some continent' idea put in place.Basically, that and a bit more zoo expansion over the next 6-8 years would make Chessie practically perfect.

There was definitely new audio in both the exterior and interior queue lines, and pretty sure new audio on the ride. However, I didn't hear this screaming girl. I definitely think that the ride would prosper with a retheme per se, which drops the computer virus theme and stick to a slightly more generic 'No way out', with a rename to plain old No Way Out.

How many coasters have they had to re-track / add trims to now!?!

^To be honest, I still think Bubbleworks is relying on memories for the GP as well. I'm pretty sure some just don't care about the branding of it and just see things as 'the carnival scene', 'the flashing lights scene', etc.

Teacups (Early 80's I believe), CCR, Rocky Express and Loggers Leap (1989) are all older than Depth Charge (1991).However, I'd say the words 'iconic' and 'icon' are thrown about far too often nowadays....

Thank you!

Gets a bit frustrating receiving an e-mail, a PM and a notification to be told someone's friended you or wrote of your profile! Any way of changing the settings so you only go one of them?

Judging by the width of the stairs on the lift hill, the train has an extremely tight squeeze through. More just the height which is a tad 'worrying'...

But you're inverted at that point (I think), so it's technically a head chopper.... :(And based on how wide the trains are shown to be in the concept art, I'd say it's a train chopper too

^From what I can tell, the trains basically come very close to them. Hmm....Is that part of the heartline roll by any chance?

Jord, this is pretty much all hypothetical anyway; no true 'conflict' can come from that. Just different views being discussed...

Halloween is the biggest bunch of rubbish going. Only good thing about it is the theme park events...Rarely get trick or treaters; if they come, ignore 'em.Just gets annoying when Christmas Carollers will start in a couple of weeks...

To be honest, a terrorist is most likely to attack Thorpe if they were to attack a theme park.Smallish, popular, close to London and airports. All adds up to disaster.The whole security debate is an interesting one. Pretty sure Phill brought it up when the Questions to TP section was running; has that stuff been deleted or archived? Be interesting to reread what the park said...

Hmm, yeah, I was bored, so let's look at the final results table (from best-worst of course): Stealth Rush Nemesis Inferno Detonator Colossus Loggers Leap Canada Creek Railway Slammer Rocky Express Storm in a Teacup Samurai Tidal Wave Quantum Flying Fish Vortex Saw - The Ride X:\ No Way Out Mr Monkey's Banana Ride Chief Rangers Carousel Rumba Rapids Zodiac Depth Charge Saw Alive Time Voyagers So, using this, we could say that:Best Roller Coaster: StealthWorst Roller Coaster: X:\ No Way OutBest Flat: RushWorst Flat: ZodiacBest Water Ride: Loggers LeapWorst Water Ride: Depth ChargeBest 'Other' Attraction: CCRWorst 'Other' Attraction: Time VoyagersSo, how well does this reflect your opinions? What do you think were the most shocking rides (whether it was how good or poor they did)? Are the rides you think that should've gone sooner / left later? Is each ride worthy of their final 'position'? Personally, Stealth should not have won. Should have gone before CCR. Inferno or Stealth FTW! Slammer is too high up as well. X:\WTF and Rumba should have left later than they did too.

And in reality...

This.
