^Has worked on many projects - including a games website, as well as a (at the moment) cryptic roller coaster. XD

On Ride Photos
T'is new as far as I know - but the offer ends end of April. Only works for the Photopass thing - so it works out about £4 per photo. Though the offer runs out on the30th, you can still use the photopass whenever you like this season. Remember, there's 3 parties. You, the consumer, Merlin and Picsolve. Both Merlin and Picsolve want a profit, so they're bound to be expensive so both the businesses can squeeze the money out.

On Ride Photos
I think hammersley works on one of them, though I'm not sure.. I agree about the prices, though from a business side, I understand sightly where they're coming from. Remember, Picsolve run them, not Merlin. Photo Pass deals are on 20% off till the end of April if you have an AP. And I have much more than 12 ORPs, much, MUCH more.. :DAlso, this whole argument about copyright and stuff. Unfortunately, it is in the T&C that they own the copyright to your own photo. However, I do see it as unfair that you're not allowed to take a photo of your own photo. Again, that's from a business prospect..

Rant
I do not like or dislike him as a person. From what I've heard of his music though, I can't stand it. Not my genre. However, like all celebrities, people will take the mick out of him. It is the norm. If you become famous, you have to be prepared for this - if you're not, then you shouldn't be one! That's my views on the matter.Now then, my rant:Living in a multicultural society, I fully accept and respect people's religions. One of my friends is a Sikh and classes herself as 'black' (though she is a 'half-caste'). Do not think that here I'm being rude or racist - it's just the way to describe her. However, she CONSTANTLY moans about people being rude to her personally when there's a joke about Sikhs or turbans. For example, when someone joined a Facebook that was 'Don't jokes about turbans make you feel Sikh?', she had a huge rant at them and accused them of being racist towards her, after which, she defriended him. Despite the fact it is a JOKE and he joined because he found it funny - and meant no disrespect, harm, etc. She now rants at anyone who joins any type of group like this, saying it disrespects her. No one I know that she knows would be disrespectful about a religion to anyone - however, if they find it funny, they will take it as that joke and leave it there. It just annoys me when people take jokes seriously - even when they know it is a flipping joke. Also, it appears that Bollywood films can predict the future - just after one is released, her life turns into that story...Also, another rant spurring on from this (which is also something she does) is when people who are black or half-caste call people 'niggers'. If a white person calls a black person this, we get in sh!tloads of trouble, but a black can do this with no problem whatsoever! Why!? It just flipping annoys the heck out of me!!Rant over. :/

Rant
Justin Bieber is male. He is a teen singer. However, his voice is incredibly high he may as well be female. Half the world hates him, hence why people take the mick out of him. Watch that if you dare and you'll see what I mean.

What is this world coming to... seriously?Oh, and poor Justin Bieber. Everyone needs to stop picking on her.

Your Thorpe Park
Yet the most 'horrific' thing I've ever seen or experienced was when the SRQ was temporarily closed last May.

Th13teen
^Ah right, thanks for that. Looks like I misunderstood what actually happens on Winjas.Thanks for clearing all that up Benin.

Th13teen
Unless I'm mistaken, the actual 'spin' of the ride is more controlled than freely - isn't it? Not questioning they're spinners, just wondering. I've got to get myself there in the next couple of years.. *Adds to a list of about 50 theme parks he wants to do in the next couple of year*

Th13teen
It's not the world's first freefall drop on a coaster. A duelling coaster known as Winjas (Winjas Fear and Winjas Force I think) at Phantasialand has the element. Both tracks feature a small (smaller than Th13teen) freefall drop, after which, the track rise back up again and continues. Look it up on rcdb, etc. Also, this image shows the track layout nicely.If you want to be pedantic, you could say Th13teen is the world's first coaster to feature a freefall drop which acts as a switchback. However, when you think it about, all the SWs have featured pendantic-ness when you considering their world first-ness.EDIT: Also, just remembered, I'm not sure if this is true, but a Gerstlauer ride has a track which slowly drops in it's station area. Only something I remember hearing; again, not sure if it's true or not.

Th13teen
Even though it's not really a world first... Though it is an Intamin first, so you're right at it being rather reliable.

Theme Park and Rollercoaster Simulation Games
I shall probably get this over the summer holidays. Far too bust at the mo to be faffing about trying to learn how to use it; will stick to RCT3 in my spare time for now.

SAW: The Ride
I rarely have discomfort on the ride. The only time when I had a bad experience from the ride was my second ride. I got the head banging and I felt a bit mashed up.Don't get me wrong, I can see where people experience discomfort, but it doesn't bother me. Lucky I guess.

Video Games.
I associate Red with Charmander, Blue with Squirtle and Green with Bulbasaur. So yeah, I was a bit annoyed that there was no Green version on the Game Boy!

Video Games.
But Red is my favourite colour. And Charizard is my favourite Pokemon.

Park Theming & Effects
Unless I'm mistaken, there was no increase. They simply changed the way they measured it - so when it hit 80MPH, as opposed to when it left the launch track. Not sure if I've got my facts wrong here though.

Note that it says nothing about the roller coaster porn video...

The Challenge #7
T'is okay. You didn't know about it and I was kinda a bit rude when I said about.. But yes, he gave a program easy to download for anyone who didn't have editing software.

Chessington Staff
Bit late, but I totally agree about staff looking enthusiastic. They were all having a great time, interacting with guests and were incredibly friendly. At the same time, they were very efficient and were focusing on throughput. The guy in the console on Vampire when I went on was amazing, he was encouraging all staff to get everyone in and belted up in 35 secs, then 30, etc. trying to beat the record of 24 seconds. Also, every time a train left, he would give the BEST evil laugh ever! Then again, there was one bloke outside Bubbleworks blowing bubbles with the happiest face you'd ever seen!
