    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.

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

    Someone from college gets killed in the next Harry Potter film
  11. Aaah, it's Phill.. Where can I hide? ;)Welcome back!
  12. JoshC. replied to Marc's topic in The Past
    And it's now back in position.And all was well...
  13. 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!
  14. Most probably the Twnersh... (Despite the fact it is terrible )(And, only one of them are in Chertsey Mark )
  15. That's actually a very nice photo! Fooled me at first glance too
  16. JoshC. replied to Sheepie's topic in Stuff
    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...
  17. ^This.Also worth saying Chessington is for families and not for children...
  18. 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?
  19. 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...
  20. 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.
  21. JoshC. replied to Coasterfreck's topic in Stuff
    So harassing someone with a mental disability is big and clever?The joke was fine, but from there it's simply bullying...
  22. JoshC. replied to Coasterfreck's topic in Stuff
    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?
  23. JoshC. replied to Marc's topic in The Real World
    Woo, well done Jack! :(Good boy for going to Sainsburys too
  24. JoshC. replied to Marc's topic in The Real World
    I'm currently unemployed. Not that fussed at the moment though to be honest; I couldn't handle it. Summer job it is
  25. I honestly cannot recall the last time you said a negative thing about Thorpe. Nor can I remember the last time you didn't defend the park when someone made a negative statement.And if you find Chessington and Lego a bore, and would have bad things to say about them, you can hardly criticize people for having bad things to say about Thorpe, can you?
