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.

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...

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?

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?
