    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
  2. 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?
  3. 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.

    MTDP

    Well, the current MTDP was from 2005-2010, so by all rights, they can give it to the council by some point in 2010.

    Those 3 islands are currently being constructed / nearing completion. They will be used for future developments, possibly the 2012 coaster and maybe in 2015/6 coaster, along with a couple of flats I'd assume. The back lines connecting them will probably be bridges of sort to get from one to the other.Hope that helps.
  6. Rather unfortunately, I've only be stuck on Slammer - the restraints failed.
  7. Can this include outside brands? (Like ones you can find down the high street, and not just TP?)
  8. No problem. Just an idea. Not saying you would lie or anything, but just so we know and all. Anyways...
  9. 30 in the Thorpe Park one.28 on the Alton Towers one.18 on the Cheesie one.Not too bad I'd say. I'm actually surprised that all three parks have one attraction each with the word 'Galleon' in them.
  10. I think if you keep it at one quiz a week, it would be better. That way you won't run out of questions so quick. :(Also, could you state where you found out the answers after each quiz. For example, with question 5, just state where you found out the answer so we know you're not lying. Hope that makes sense.

    I highly doubt we will see anything on Colossus' lake. They have built out far enough, perhaps even too far. The noise from the ride and audio can be heard from outside the park, building any closer woud onyl cause more noise issues. Therefore, the Stealth lake is the only feasible option.
  12. Go either this Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday if possible. Park will be pretty much dead and most rides and mazes will stay under 45 mins. Will get a bit busier later in the day of course, especially once schools finish. Remember you have to prebook for your tickets (even if you're an AP holder) from the 24th, which is next Saturday.As mentioned above, make sure you go to your first choice maze about 30-45 minutes before it opens (4pm). This way you'l beat standing in a queue and then can get on with others.If you do do the above tip, I'd personally say do Asylum of Se7en first. Why? Well, they are the closest together, so you can queue before one opens and get on it straight away, then go on the other one straight after - and hopefully avoid a massive queue. Also, these are the 2 I've heard the best reviews from.Stay as late as possible. Rides in the dark are so much better!"Finally, enjoy the day!

    Back on the idea of the 2011 coaster, if this holds to be true, plans would need to be released between now and December time (approximately?) However, I thought the MTDP was to tell the council what thye were planning on doing, so with no MTDP released, I'm not sure if a 2011 coaster is too realistic. Of course, I don't know what happens behind the scenes and a 2011 coaster could happen; I'm just making a point and theory.
  14. That Unit was just so boring. Plus, the amount of Database work needed was just way too much for me!As for my favourite lessons, it would have to be either Maths or English, followed by DiDA and Physics. Yes, seriously! Maths is just fun, and my English teacher is just legendary! DiDA is fun with all the creativity involved and Physics is just interesting. Can't stand French no more, and Geography is plain boring. Also worth noting that I'm at a Performing Arts school, and gladly not taking a singe 'Performing Art' subject.
  15. I was on park today but completely forgot about the meet-up. Glad everyone had a good day though.
  16. SO use the Fastrack queue basically?
  17. Does anyone know if SRQ is still in use or not? I've heard about how it is sometimes used if you queue up in the Fastrack queue line? Is this true?Cheers in advance.

    Drop. Bit like Detonator but on track. Can hardly be exciting but a world first nonetheless.
  19. I honestly hate the new skin. Looks far too 'heavy' and just seems too computerised and not as if it was 'man-made'. It might just be because it is new, but it is just doesn't 'feel' good, and seems much more busier and complicated than before - there's so much more buzzing around, and it just looks too 'full'. I prefer the much more basic 'less is more' theology.
  20. Though I didn't get stuck, I couldn't move my right arm until the show nearly ended. It was numb till about 10:30. Also, I did go all blurry in my right eye for about 2/3 minutes.
  21. Better question - why not? Though at times it could slow the queue down slightly, it wasn't too dramatic - well from what I saw anyway. Many people are saying how SAW is not designed for SRQ - but it would work very well when done rightly. Making a permanent queue divider in which disabled riders have the majority of the space - after all, a single rider queue only really needs enough space for 1 or 2 people to stand side-by-side. Anyway, the most part of disabled riders who will need a large amount for moving around are more likely to use the lift than the stairs.Then, as long as the staff get used to having single riders (instead of having them, taking away, bringing them back, taking them away again, etc.) then it would work. Dispatching SR to the upstairs station area is easy. Then, as long as you get a member of staff who can just pay a little bit extra attention to who they put where, there would be no need for the operator to call for SR. Just a matter of adjusting.In the end, I've been for SRQ on all rides, especially SAW, as it works so well and loads of seats are left empty.
  22. So basically, we'll be seeing 3s everywhere around the park. How can you make it justifiable to make the system EVEN MORE vague? If they wanted to do this system, surely a better way to do it would be:1: Under 20 minutes.2: 21-40 minutes.3: 41-60 minutes.4: 61-90 minutes.5: 91-120 minutes.6: 121+ minutes.Remember, that's me saying if they wanted to do the system, not what I think is the best system.The best system was the old one. Just have on the LED boards (or even a small note near it) that all queue times are approximations and could be longer / shorter than projected for a variety of reasons. Then we'd all be happy and we wouldn't have another thing to complain about.

    I blame my bad grade on the high pitched woman and on a bad quality tape. I could hardly make out a word of what they were saying in English, let alone the French stuff. Thankfully, I can retake this year and hopefully get a better grade.
