    Couple of things from me..Why's the Slippery Serpent topic been locked? I understand it was locked to review over posts and to delete some, but why permanently lock it? Discussion is discussion, whatever way you look at it.Why can't ordinary members start new topics in the Thorpe Park forum? We can easily make new thread in the Past, Future and Question parts, so why not now? Seems a bit like running that part of the forum run like a form dictatorship - only mods can start discussion, and not members..
  3. When would people say this quite period ends? End of this week? Next week?I've tended to steer clear of Chessie during the summer due to the costs and travel difficulties for not wanting to risk having a rubbish day, but will definitely try and get there during this quite period.
  4. My rant. When people have defriended you on Facebook for no apparent reason; they really need to grow some I think.
  5. Off to Thorpe again today. Expect a small TR later. :)Also planning weekly trips every Tuesday, so if anyone wants to join me, give me a shout.

    Th13teen

    Agreed.You'd have thought they'd do something imaginative. They called it Th13teen for a reason..I think the PR department were bored..
  7. I can't come off without having to do it again..
  8. Well, today I did something I've been meaning to do for a LONG time. Just before I left, I popped into GS to ask if there was any way of being able to compliment staff via GS. The member of staff there, who I can't remember the name of for the life of me, was rather shocked, stating how it is very rare for that request, but she was also very pleased.Now, I know there's the whole no naming names policy, but I don't care. These staff have been constantly brilliant on every trip I've been one and they truly deserve as much praise and recognition as possible. Rikki, who you may have seen on Rocky Express being very vocal or sometimes the Fish, is just amazing. He always adds to the ride experience and is just so much fun. John, who drives CCR. Anyone who has been on CCR with him driving will know just has good he his. "This is usually the scariest part of the ride, where an ugly witch jumps out and scares everyone. Unfortunately, my mother-in-law doesn't work today." Also, Thomas. Seen him on the Fish and CCR (becoming a bit of a common factor ey? ). He's just a nice funny guy who is always chatty. Plus, him singing to the CC audio track. Just lol. There's also another op, on FF, who is really good. Always says "The world needs people like you" or something at the end of each ride. Would have complemented him too, but didn't know his name. So yeah, if just couple more people would spare 5 minutes before they leave, maybe the world would be a better place.
  9. As much as queueline smokers annoy me, I find it worse when you see people by the younger child's rides smoking. Even though it's banned, I've seen people smoke in OG and when you see people smoking by the fence of Rocly Express, that annoys me too.The worst experience I had was when a mother with children around 5/6 was smoking on the carriage next to me on CCR. She carried on even though I told her it was wrong - so told the guard as soon as I got off. (Oh how I love people who struggle opening those gates XD).
  10. Yeah, bit late to respond. I understand greatly how you must not like the ride, as my nan is in a similar situation. However, you can obviously understand the appeal to others. :PAnd I must say I LOVE TB with a great passion, but it sounds pretty weak at the moment, a great shame.

    This Or That

    Simpsons :P5 or 6?
  12. As sad as it sounds, it makes it a better effect. Makes the area feel more ruined and unreliable and such. Trust Thorpe to make an effect that is just as effective, if not more, when it doesn't work!
  13. I hope I was in no way involved in this with my earlier post in the 2011 topic. If I was, I'm sorry. :PAnyways, I complete understand what you mean and am regularly in the same position. People who make you out as something you're not just pee me off.

    I thought the empty seats were just because it was a rubbish ride? :PHonestly, I prefer the new system. I hate queuing inside the building for more than 5 minutes. Far to uncomfortable, hot and not really that effective for theming - the feels of being inside wears off before you ride.

  18. Aha!Thank you so much kabz. ;)Now to just try and get all the songs...
  19. Has anyone got the track list for Canada Creek in general? I know it's unlikely that someone's got a link where you can download all the songs, but just the track list would be greatly appreciated. ;)Cheers,Josh

    My point being they don't really care if it's it T&T, Ano-Mak or Gerwhatastir. They probably can tell that say B&M is smoother than Vekoma, but would they really know much more than that?

    Thinking in terms of the GP, yes, that would be fair.However, as fans, many like to discuss what manufacturers are better / preferable, etc. For example, one manufacturer's launch might be much comfier / sound nicer than another's. The comfort of the ride. I could go on. It's something people on here like to discuss, so that's that really. True. However, I think having two the a park the size of Thorpe isn't that good. More a variety of different attractions would be better in my opinion. Mack launch coasters seem great, much better than Intamin's and I'd love one at Thorpe, but I just don't think it's a good idea.

    Granted, but you'd be in prison for stealing the money.I wish I didn't wear glasses.

    I think that may have been a rumour about the mine train thing. Never a concrete plan. Also, why the like for another launched coaster? Yeah, they're decent, but why have 2 in 1 park? ;)Oh, and welcome! (And Ricky, it's fun speculating! And the manufacturer really does matter in my opinion!)

    You what? 200ft coaster at AT in a Grade 1 listed area?
