  1. I can't come off without having to do it again..
  2. 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.

    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).

    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.

    Simpsons :P5 or 6?

    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!

    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.

  12. Aha!Thank you so much kabz. ;)Now to just try and get all the songs...
  13. 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
  14. JoshC. replied to MikeC's topic in The Future
    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?
  15. JoshC. replied to MikeC's topic in The Future
    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.
  17. JoshC. replied to MikeC's topic in The Future
    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!)
  18. JoshC. replied to MikeC's topic in The Future
    You what? 200ft coaster at AT in a Grade 1 listed area?
  19. JoshC. replied to AdamY's topic in Nonsense
    Granted, but you're allergic to all dairy products.I wish I had a third arm.
  20. JoshC. replied to AdamY's topic in Nonsense
    Granted, but you don't have enough to time got to parks as a guest.I wish I was a Dragon on Dragons' Den.
  21. Agreed. The theme and the theming of it is still good, but it still never matches up to to older version. In my opinion, Loggers is the best Flume out of the Merlin parks, possibly the UK.
  22. JoshC. replied to Theme Park bloke's topic in The Real World
    So now I'm the "biggest douche on the planet" who should be "dead".Lovely. I seriously hate people.
  23. JoshC. replied to AdamY's topic in Nonsense
    That was my aim. I confused myself.I'll let someone else corrupt your wish.
  24. JoshC. replied to Phill's topic in Nonsense
    I'm not 100% sure...
  25. JoshC. replied to Phill's topic in Nonsense
    Oh yeah.
