^ That tin shed NEEDS sorting out!

Adam_Thorpe is who I more or less knew it was. XD It's half hilarious and half embarrassing. Thing is, my mum and nan are like that more or less all the time. It's fun most of the time, the rest of the time, I'm as red as a tomato.

If it's who I think it is, I'm surprised you didn't already know about him. I don't feel entirely the same way. I mean, on forums, I'm fine - the reason why people go on here is to talk to the like-minded. But if, like in Dan's position, there were 2 fanboys at my school, I wouldn't like it. In the end, every school has the 'know-it-all' in something - be it roller coasters, Harry Potter, London Underground or whatever (just a couple of examples from my school ). But 2 in the same school? Too much of a clash for me personally. In the end, school is where I can talk about bi-railed track and have everyone think I'm talking about a bisexual roller coaster - the forums are where I can talk about bi-railed track and sound normal. (Then again, I might have felt differently if there was another fanboy at my school - oh well, there's always college...) My nan is 70, yet whenever she's in a car and sees a cyclist she talks about how nice of a bum they have. She's now even got into the habit of opening the window and saying "cheeky". I don't think there is anything for you to be worried about. XD

Costing me precious votes!!! :(My vote is going to dummiguy. The only reason why is because I hate the idea of making Nemesis being made into a Valentine's Day ride. In the end, it is a monster, your 'Nemesis' - not a lovey dovey sweet ride. The two just don't mix for me. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice design and all (not to mention corny), but I just don't like the idea of it.

Could you explain how? When writing about the rides, I've been trying to do it in my own, personal style. I've just compared some ride articles, and I see little to how they can be seen as similar. Thanks.

A bit of a bump really, but oh well.Over the past couple of weeks, I've put in loads of info about the most of the rides. Bare in mind that I'm doing this in my spare time (which I don't have a lot of at the moment with GCSEs ), so I can't get it all done at once. I've got photos in the pipeline - however, if anyone has any photos they would be willing to donate, it would be greatly appreciated (of course, you'll get credit and all that). http://thorpeparkinformer.webs.com/Any comments, suggestions, etc. are welcome and greatly appreciated.

But what if the pizzeria is a really bad one where the most confusing pizza there is a ham and pineapple? Or if they are al just pre-made and just need to be thrown in the oven. I can go on just as long as you can...

Glad to see you have a sardonic view of today's society...

Okay, imagine this situation. You and your friend are at your house. You phone a pizzeria you have never used before and order the most complicated pizza there is to make. Simultaneously, your friend phones the police (direct to 999) stating that urgent police assistance is required (there is a robber or gunman or something). You both give the address at the same time. Now, my question to you is, who will arrive first?

Here's my entry. Again, my apologies about the AT logo having a white background - I don't have the software to get rid of it.

Nope, I'm stalking my friends to Loom Mountain.

Where you going just out of interest? Yes, I'm nosey.

Loads of people criticise Vista, yet I don't know why. Sure, it's not the best, but hey, is any bit of technology perfect. Granted, I haven't used Windows 7, but in the end, I'm happy with Vista.

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.
