Farmville can have some sort of super virus that just kills it (so that it never returns) for all I care.

We seem to have a '2 year rule' at our school - so it seems disgusting if a Year 10 is going out with a Year 12, or a Year 11 with a Year 9...Anyway, my rant. On Friday, some chavs decided to put together a conga at lunch time. They organised it via Facebook. It seemed like harmless fun. Now, the school are a bit over the top because they seem to think that every group about the school or its students needs to be monitored. When it went ahead, it was a bit of a fail. However, it some support. Then the chavs went inside. One of the teachers grabbed hold of someone in the conga line, who just carried on then the teacher fell over. She now apparently has a stiffened shoulder and a huge bruise on her leg (yet she still decided to wear HUGE high heels today...) The thing was, today, the male prefects got most of the brunt for it! One male prefect was involved in the conga, yet it was apparently "all of us". Because the people who started it were Year 11s, and it was started over Facebook, we were told off. We were told that we need to start being mature and be role models and we need to start doing more for the school. Thing is, most of the male prefects are mature and are role models. And as for doing stuff for the school, well, we've done more than enough. Our year is the most intellectual the school has ever had (and looking at the lower years - ever will have). Some of us are doing AS-Levels in our own time and we have helped the school go from in danger of closing down to one of the most improved schools in the UK. Yet, the school is doing less and less for us!! It is just more and more pathetic each day, and I am just glad it isn't that long before I get to leave the place...

Firstly, don't think I'm having a go at you - I am not. However, that is WAY too unrealistic. As far as I know, the park regularly go over that, and having a maximum visitor count that low is just not feasible. Coincidentally, the park say they have a maximum visitor rule, but have never reached it...However, a very good, imaginative read.

Okay, here is this week's Quiz. Everyone is welcome to enter and the closing date is Sunday. Same rules apply. 1) What is the maximum height Slammer reaches? [2]2) Which ride has the lowest maximum capacity per hour? [2]3) Who is the manufacturer of Detonator? [1]4) How long is the ride duration of Loggers Leap? [3]5) What is the maximum angle (in degrees, of course) that Rush can reach before E-stopping? [5] Points will be awarding for close answers.For ease, here are the current point scores (maximum is 11):noob230: 8Todge: 6Dummiguy: 4Good luck everyone!

Okay dokey, here are the answers to this week's quiz:1) MCBR, Windmill, Dive Loop, were some of many answers possible.2) May 19793) 34) Space Station Zero5) Louis MountbattenAnd here are each entrants' results out of 11:noob230: 8Todge: 6Dummiguy: 4Because there weren't that many entries, I added noob230 because he did answer in the previous topic.Remember, everyone is welcome to enter at any time - but because points roll over, the sooner you enter the better. I'm not sure why there were a lack of entries this week - hopefully the next Quiz will be more successful.

Glad to see you're so eager However, I'm giving everyone until 9pm to get last minute answers in. Then, the answers will be revealed and a new quiz will be put out.

Congratulations Bill. :)I take it the next Challenge will be revealed later tonight?

I wholeheartedly agree!

I think the park are being very clever, and only showing a little bit of what is actually happening. Remember, you do have the control cabin. That looks very nicely themed. There could be more theming elements to be put in the surrounding area and the queue line. However, I think the key to a successful Rita retheme HAS to be the audio. Depending on what ride theme they are actually going for, the audio could be pivotal and explain a lot of the back story to the ride. Perhaps they have gone for the whole idea that the Dark Forest is consuming the land, hence why there are loads of vines and a dusty effect made.EDIT TO POST BELOW: Sorry, I knew I read somewhere. I'm just having a bit of a bad day today - my apologies.

Trust me, you do not want it to.

Facebook is now in its ugliest phase yet. Only good thing about it is that when they change it again, it will be better (hopefully...)

Due to the fact there's been a lack of entries for whatever reason, I'm extended the quiz till Sunday. Please guys, get some answers in.

I have decided to retheme Colossus.For 2011, Thorpe Park introduce Lolossus. With their decreasing popularity amongst fans, they decided something needed to be done. Though Colossus was due a retrack and repaint in 2010, they cancelled in February following the closure of the fan site SouthParks. Instead, they decided to give it a retheme that suited fans interests. However, because SouthParks had closed, they could not look through it to have what fans thought would be a better name - so they decided to look through here. However, they could not find a name fans thought would be better. However, they found that a lot of fans (past and present) used the name 'Lolossus' - so they felt it was the best name. Of course, the park couldn't decide on a new logo. However, they found a spare 'L', as the designers (like many others) thought the first incarnation was spelt 'Colossus'. This meant they could paste this 'L' over the 'C' - Lolossus was officially born. The ride itself features a new soundtrack, possibly getting rid of one of the better audio tracks the park had. The short loop features many people saying 'LOL' in strange ways along with some obviously faked laughter. Even a short queue means you hear the loop at least 5 times. The whispers have also gone; you know longer hear each loop. Instead, you hear 'LOL' said in many different forms, and much louder than the original whispering noise. The retrack went ahead - but due to a budget cut, they didn't get new track, just some old Intamin track from defunct rides clambered together. A repaint also went ahead. A slightly darker beige covered track and lighter blue on the supports (though it is very easy to come off) . They were planning on changing the entire track beige and the supports blue, but gave up the end, due to not having enough paint due to the budget cut. However, the painters got bored so used some permanent marker to write 'LOL' on random parts of the ride. Hope you enjoyed.

Firstly, thanks for the advice. However, we have done this, plenty of times. We have told the co-ordinator of learning (or whatever the position is called) and she did little. We've also told our teacher that the way she teaches doesn't work for us and we don't like it. She replies with stuff like "well, the work's got to be done and this is the easiest way to do it", even though it clearly isn't. When we've told other teachers, they have accepted this and adapted for us (one even swapped teachers to make it easier for us). Thing is, our French teacher feels she is so good because she had got a 100% A*-C record in 5 years of teaching, and she has taught loads of languages. Yet, when we try and get help, it doesn't work!Again, thanks for your advice. :PAs for you Andrew, I cannot say any more than has already been said. Though I've never met you before, you seem like a great guy and I'm just sorry to hear that this has happened to you.

My French teacher cannot stand my class, nor can we stand her. She came in in September and took over as head of MFL. We told her how far we had got to and how much we had done (basically nothing - out previous teacher was terrible). We also told her that we had done to first 2 (out of 4 modules). She said it was fine, and we spent the first half term and a couple of weeks of the second half term doing nothing but watch films in French. Then, all of a sudden, she goes berserk and starts panicking that we haven't done the Module 3 coursework. SO, we had to cram 2 bits of coursework in, when we should have been revising for out mocks. Also, she keeps moving us about to different classrooms. Even though we're in our final year, the year 7s are more important and need to work in a French classroom. Meanwhile, we have to keep swapping between History, Geography, English, god knows what else classrooms - even though we should take priority. One lesson, she just had a massive go at us randomly and went out crying (leaving us with nothing to do for 35 minutes of a 50 minute lesson). We did nothing wrong, yet she blames us. She hasn't even apologised to us.. We now basically hate her, and she hates us. She is happy for everyone to get Cs, even though about half the class are predicted B or above. Even though the majority of the class or well behaved during the lessons, she says that she is going to be "cracking down" on us, and making sure no one "steps out of line". Now, for homework, she is giving us 16 questions on a Wednesday, and expects answers (of about 2-3 sentences each) in for Friday. Then, she says she will mark all of them in class (while the class does what!?) and then she wants us to memorise off by heart all the answers to the questions, so she can ask us them on a Wednesday. It is ridiculously way too much and is far to much to do with everything else going on for other GCSEs.Argh.

Closed down at the end of January.

More entries are needed guys! Closing date is Friday remember.

Do note, that for the competition you have to be over eighteen to enter. Or should that be e18teen?

Gun, but only if it is a Machine Gun. :(Bob the Builder or Winnie the Pooh?

Maybe it might be awkward for him to say to his friends "Oh, at 1 o'clock, I want to go and say hi to some random people I've never met before. And I'm pretty sure it will rather easy to see TPM, how many large groups of TP nutters will there be?

As I said, Sunday's are awkward for me. I'll know closer to the time if I can go; but I probably won't be able to go. However, I'll be going on Saturday regardless.

As far as I know, only topics in the Site Advertisements section are moderated before posting. Sorry, I was meant to say in the original TP Quiz topic that it had been moved - there is only one. As AeRo said, there is a plan for all the quizzes and challenges to sort out the Off Topic section, and he did know about me making a completely new topic for it.

Hey, sorry everyone, but I forgot to say that the quiz has moved to it's own topic. If you could please re-post your answers in THIS topic noob230, then it'll be slightly easier for me. CheersLocked to save confusion. Sorry Josh, I meant to do this last night - AeRo

Can you please add spoiler tags. They're done just like quotes, but with spoiler inside the brackets. I would demostrate, but I'm on my iPod, so it is a but awkward to.

Hello, and welcome to the Thorpe Park Quiz. This should hopefully be a more formal and successful of the Thorpe Park Quiz Matty22 was running a while ago.

Post your answers in Spoiler tags please.-No looking up answers, of course. -Each quiz will have at least 5 questions. There might be more in future Quizzes.-Each question has points.

Right, here's this week's Quiz:1) Name two elements that were in the original plans for SAW - The Ride, but removed when the plans were revised. [2] (If you only give 1 correct element, you will receive 1 point).2) What month and year did Thorpe Park officially open?
