  1. 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..
  2. 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...

    Is there actually anything wrong with that?Also, how nerdy is it to go back, see everyone who you're slowly losing contact with, and get a certificate?
  4. Amusement parks are rather different to fairgrounds.
  5. 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!

    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.

    Cheesey garlic mushrooms, 'Italian' sausages, mashed potato and cold beans. Monday night dinner = amazing.

    70ft-ish

    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.
  13. Always great to see a new park's signature attraction attracting such substitutional queues...Yep, Formula Rossa's queue for today...
  14. As you said in the 'Your Thorpe Park' topic:

  16. Aaah, it's Phill.. Where can I hide? ;)Welcome back!
  17. JoshC. replied to Marc's topic in The Past
    And it's now back in position.And all was well...
  18. So we're guessing where he'll be going tomorrow night? And there's no points given f we get the right place tonight? Hmm - wildcard!
  19. Most probably the Twnersh... (Despite the fact it is terrible )(And, only one of them are in Chertsey Mark )
  20. That's actually a very nice photo! Fooled me at first glance too

    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...
  22. ^This.Also worth saying Chessington is for families and not for children...
  23. JoshC. replied to Marc's topic in The Past
    Was odd seeing Alive out of position today... Are they repainting / renovating the outside or something?
  24. JoshC. replied to Coasterfreck's topic in Stuff
    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...
  25. JoshC. replied to Coasterfreck's topic in Stuff
    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.
