Yeah, that really needs changing... EDIT: Which I have now done. Was going to do it sooner or later, honestly.

Ah, how I have missed your creative, yet slightly unrealistic, futures ste.

I was more talking about the name for Th13teen - I am in no way disagreeing that the ride itself looks fantastic. SAW, well, as much as I can't disagree with the fact it is a great ride, I'm more against the whole collaboration thing. As for Wild Asia, I've no problems with it.

But will it be a sponsorship or a collaboration? They are two very different things which lead to different results...

Another collaboration by Merlin? So this means we have SAW (collaboration), Th13teen (wow - original...) and Wild Asia (oh my, something remotely clever). Now this. Are they losing originality?

I lost a shoe on the Trappers Trail... I used to love Thorpe in the old days. I remember running round the Flying Fish queue (which I always coincidentally timed so I could chase the Fish ) and then getting right at the front. Then getting a couple of rerides in different places and doing it all again! Then of course the full train circuit and all that. I remember in 2002 going past Inferno whilst it was being constructed and being mesmerised by it. Of course, I had to get the jetty back because I was afraid of going round the back of Canada Creek because I thought the wolves would break the bridge as the train went over it... I also remember when Ribena Rumba Rapids first opened and I was afraid to go on it because I thought "the berry people" kidnapped you, replaced you with robots and enslaved you for life in the dark, creepy cave. Yes, I have an over active imagination. That was irrespective of the fact I was glad to see Thunder River go because of the fact I was the only one in my family to get drenched to the bone by the waterfall which has now been taken out. Oh yeah, and who could forget eating at the BBQ. After the food was ordered, I went off to Miss Hippo's Fungle Safari for about 3 rides before lunch - I'd also pretend I was a taxi driver on it. Ah dear, good times indeed.

Dairy Milk. As holtjammy stated, Galaxy can be a bit sickening after a while - Dairy Milk you can enjoy for as long as you booming well like without feeling sick....You just get sick after a while

I refer you to Thorpe Park's official site

Animation Five is actually meant to be crossbows; there is a noise (albeit very unheard due to the noise of the air firing at you) of crossbows being fired. However, I won't go into THAT argument again. ..Also, 103 degree drop? Surely you mean 100 degrees?

I did think that at first, but then the Crossbow Scene wouldn't be Animation Five, like Fever said. Unless the Machine thing joins together with the Onload Station or Billy's scene? Which I would doubt.

Well, to me, it seems a bit more of a challenge, so here goes... :rolleyes:1) Onload Station2) The Mechanical Thing (Not sure what it is officially called - but it is directly in front of the station).3) Billy Puppet (Car 1 - Laugh; Car 2 - Speech)4) Swinging Pendulums 5) Crossbows (or Needles, if you so wish)6) Bathroom Scene (First inversion)7) "Game Over" - Bottom of Lift Hill.8) "Congratulations, you're still alive..." Offload Station.9) TV Scene (Exit queue; on foot).10) Must have missed one / joined two together! :S Ah well, 9 is still good. (Oh yes, and Fever, Grammar. )

I will take full advantage of being able to post 2 photos. :rolleyes:Number 1:SAW's Overbanked Turn :PNumber 2:Fright Nights 09 - Samurai:lol:

Ha ha ha! Sorry to laugh at you, but I just love hearing stories like this. I went to see it a few weeks ago now and someone who I was with was hiding behind their coat for half the film. In fact, I was having to give her a running commentary of what was happening: "Camera's still rolling. Nothing's happening. Nothing's happening. You can look now." At which point the scariest (in my opinion) part of the film happens. Classic! She did have to sleep with the light on for a couple of nights too! :lol:As cruel as it sounds, it's people like you and her which make scary films so much more enjoyable and funnier, yet making it sightly more creepier for you.

I'm in the same boat. The weekend does seem very interesting and is, of course, something I would love to do. However, my family have been planning a trip there later in the year; so unfortunately I have to miss the weekend so that I can do for about 3 days later in the year and do everything. So yeah, bit awkward, but a great shame I have to miss out on it.

Despite the fact you set up the joke, I said it first - so it was my idea...

OI!! I'm a PC and Windows 7 was MY idea! (Sorry, that had to be said sooner or later)

I have done it, but am redoing it January. I can't one off a D the last time round, which isn't good considering I'm predicted an A / A*. I got one off a B for my reading / listening paper and am redoing that in May as well. :SSo, basically, while I was trying to revise for the mocks, I was trying to learn the speaking, as well as my other Coursework, off by heart - and now have to spend Christmas revising both of them - joy.

Ah, mock exams. They are just so fun, aren't they!?Already had 10 this week, with 1 tomorrow and 2 on Monday. Had my French mock today and utterly failed it. Reading paper was meh to be honest, got to the Writing Paper and forget every word of French that I knew. Put my head on the table, begun to a little, then realised 15 minutes had passed. It was such a fail. But then again, if I didn't have 5 different French teachers in 5 years, all of them rubbish, and if I didn't have a teacher this year who is an utter idiot who teaches us nothing yet expects us to do everything, it might be a bit better!!! Half of rant over.Now, mock exams in general. They are just a pain in the butt! I mean, come on, in 6 days, I have to write 13 exams. Today I wrote 4 exams (History, French, Biology, Chemistry!!) and it was just such a pile up. And when you consider that I've already had 3 English papers, in which I'm writing about 4-6 sides, an RE paper (in which I wrote 8 sides) a History paper (I wrote 4 sides) as well as C1 Maths paper (with TONS of working out), then it is just so annoying. My hand seriously hurts, along with my shoulder. SO yeah, basically, I hate it all. Still got the ever so lovely Geography paper tomorrow, as well as a Physics and Critical Thinking on Monday. The thing that annoys me most is you can't just say "Oh, they're just mocks" because they get used as predicted grades, etc. (as well as teachers yelling at you if you do badly), but you can't prioritize them over everything else because in the end, they are just mocks. (And don't mention I'm contradicting myself there...) Argh! Just so blooming stressful!!Rant over (well for now, I guess).(Oh yeah, in case anyone is wondering, I'm in Year 11, but did my Maths GCSE in a year, hence why I've moved onto C1 of the AS Level Maths, as well as doing AS Critical Thinking this year as well...)

Well, I personally don't know what to say. If I'm honest, I did have some sympathy for Theme Park Bloke after he receives so much abuse, however, after that post and just his behaviour in general of late, I've lost any that I did have. I feel that this is just so over the top, and feel that it is members such as Theme Park Bloke who are ruining the forum. Over the past couple of months, I have became a quieter member on this forum and more been a reader than a poster. However, if pettiness like this continues (and I don't just mean from Theme Park Bloke; everyone else on here isn't perfect) then I may just give up on reading this forum, which would be a shame. Just my two cents there...Anyway, would just like to thank the admins and the mods for their hard work on the forum in general, quality of posts has improved and all the work you are putting into the forum is appreciated.

2010 - Raise entrance prices to £37. Car park charge of £2.2011 - Raise entrance prices to £39. Rises to £40 at FN. 2012 - Raise entrance prices to £42 after June. Car park charge rises to £3.50.2013 - Raise entrance prices to £45. Car park charge rises to £5. Hotel opens.2014 - Raise entrance prices to £47. Car park charge creeps to £6 eventually.2015 - Raise entrance prices to £49. Goes to £50 at FN. Car park charge rises to £7.2016 - The park FINALLY refurbishes the entrance and the car park to make it rise from 'Critically bad' to 'Adequate'. Keeps prices the same... oh my!2017 - Raise entrance price to £51. 2018 - Raise entrance price to £55. Car park charge of £9.2019 (10 YEARS TIME)The entrance price is £60 to get (£55 for 'young thrillseekers', who are classed as under 1 metre). Car park charge reaches £10. Hotel prices are £259.99pp based on 2 days and 1 night at the park. That is for a single bed room. A family of four wishing to stay for a long weekend (arriving Friday evening, leaving Sunday evening) will be charged £469.99pp (irrespective of age). For a family of for any of period of time, it will cost £429.99pppn. A family of 5 (which will take up 4 rooms) will cost £509.99pppn. I'd say that's rather realistic.

You still haven't given the answers and results for the past two quizzes. Without sounding rude, can we have them, maybe it might get more interest in again.Anyway....

Would I be called Scrooge for not liking all of these Christmas-sy smilies? Yeah, it's December, yeah it's nearly Christmas, but still, seems there's no escaping it... :S

Just out of interest, why is Matty22 unable to do it this week? Also, when will we be given the results and points for the previous round?

I've got one cat, Tigabellarockafella. She's 16. Got 1 hamster, called Charlie. One rabbit, Sandy. Three gerbils, Milk, Tea and Coffee. Tons of fish. And 2 newts, Fred and Ned.
