TPM London Meet
Why not take the bus? They were running fine (probably a little late, but nothing new there really) between Staines, Kingston, Chertsey and Woking, and all those places were probably as bad as Weybridge. Pretty sure you could have got to Egham that way in a much shorter amount of time with a couple of bus changes...Trains aren't the only mode of transport in the world y'know..

TPM London Meet
I understand peoples' frustration, but in the end, as long as you get from A to B in a decent amount of time - even if stuff does get delayed - then that's that. It's what happens.What annoys me the most though is people who compare us to places like Russia or other places that get heavy snow regularly, they're properly prepared. Unfortunately, we're not. As clichéd as it sounds, I'd like to see most of the people who moan about the way the government are doing things try and do a better job themselves...

Your Chessington
Amusement parks are rather different to fairgrounds.

Your Chessington
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?

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.

Corrupt A Wish
Granted, but you become a loner for life.I wish for this wish to be corrupt.

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.

Best Soap
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.
