Everyone has their own definition of the word 'chav'. I really don't understand why there has to be an argument about it being aimed at chavs, as everyone has their own opinion on what a chav is, so having an argument about it is superfluous..I wouldn't say that the site is being aimed at chavs, but I think chavs (in my own definition of the word) would like it.

I personally don't like the new website. It just doesn't look right to me. However, as much as I hate it, I'm glad to see Thorpe working on their website and trying their best. It is obviously built with the target audience in mind, which - in the end - I'm glad they've done; at least they do stick to where they aim to be.

But Thorpe may charge for parking, Cheesie probably won't... Sorry, had to bring that up. :angry:I think people forgot how many offers the park run during the course of the year, as well as the Bounceback tickets on offer as well. I do feel that the prices are a bit too high, but hey, I'm not too surprised by it if I'm honest.

A rant about blooming school...Basically, we've slowly been getting our Mock Results back. Being the 'smartest' of the year, I'm always seen as the one to get a higher mark than. It does get slightly annoying at times, but in the end, I don't mind it too much. Basically, most of my Mocks were pretty bad - got quite a couple of Cs and Ds in parts of the English (got a couple of Bs and As also), got Cs in Physics and Chemistry and Biology, French and RE I'd rather not think about... Really, my only good one was Geography, which I got an A* in - even though I don't really like the subject. Considering I'm predicted A*s in all my subjects, I feel my Mocks were rubbish.As if that weren't bad enough, there are quite a few people who got higher marks than me who are rubbing it in my face, adding insult to injury and so on. The fact that I'm annoyed with myself for getting bad marks is hard enough to deal with - with others rubbing it in, it is just getting rather annoying!However, I feel at time that I'm being a bit of a snobby b*d! The fact that I've got an A* as well as a couple of As, Bs and Cs and I'm disappointed in myself and even slightly depressed about it when there are others who would kill for those results. Then I feel like an idiot for making a fuss over something that some see as 'petty'. Then I just get annoyed even more and just go round in circles beating myself up! Just so blooming annoying and I don't know what to blooming think! ARGH! Just to top it all of, I have my second piece of coursework for French to do tomorrow. The annoying thing is, I've had 5 French teachers in 5 years (all of which were rather bad) so don't really know French at all! Even worse, is that my current teacher is unfamiliar to the course we are doing, so thinks we have to do our coursework in controlled, exam-like conditions - when we actually don't! It piles a bit more stress on, which is actually unnecessary! Also, she's expecting us to do the coursework twice (one draft, one final) in 50 minutes, when it should actually take 2 hours! How that is even possible I will never know...Add this onto a Biology Unit 2 resit, which I've yet had a chance to revise, on Thursday and a French Unit 1 (Speaking) resit next Wednesday - which I've yet to receive any help for - along with everything else I've mentioned, I'm just about at breaking point!!

They have succeeded..That is all.

I do not feel unsafe at the park, but I still feel that the chav count is rather high. I do agree that the atmosphere at the park isn't the best. Due to the park not focusing on themed areas, it feels more like being in one generic place with machines. You go to one place - rides. Another place - rides. Another place - rides. So on and on... Anyway, on the whole thing about APs, I'll be sticking to a Standard AP. Just got my one for £75 online, in the end, that's a bargain price. I'm too bothered about all the other things: don't go to Merlin attractions abroad, tend to bring my own drinks when going to the park, and I'll just have to cope with a £5 charge for FN. In the end, it works out better than paying an extra £125, doesn't it..

Well, here's my one...Just so everyone knows, it would be an advert used for the 2011 season.Unfortunately I haven't got the software to crop round the logo, so it will have to be that image for now. If I can get on Photoshop some point this week at school (which looks unlikey as it is been taken off the system), I will finish it off. However, you get the general idea of it.

Is this an updated version of the Photo Challenge then? Are we saying bye bye to that?Also, a question for this Challenge. Are we allowed to add photos to that photo for our advert? Or are we only allowed to edit that photo?

I'm bored, so will give regenerating the quiz a go. Not that I don't think your quiz and the layout of it was bad or anything, I will probably change the way it is done slightly. So, anyone up for the quiz?

Which photo won? Or was it a collection of both?

80p was the AP price, their original price was £1.

Hopefully the 'new ride effect' will take place, and the crowds will flock to Wild Asia (well, Kobra especially) leaving Vampire and nearby rides with walk on queues. Maybe even Dragon's Fury for a short while with any luck..

Isn't the reason for the repaint something to do with it being unsightly in its current location? That's also why the Towers are planning to relocate it soon? Unless, of course, I have just heard a bunch of rubbish...

I fully agree with you. The themes of Sonic, SAW, Ribena Rumba Rapids (Thorpe), Beanoland (Cheesie) and so forth will never match up to those like Nemesis, Oblivion and so forth.However, if it is going to happen, which is looking more likely, then you do have to consider what would be better - sponsorship or collaboration? I'd say the a collaboration would be better..

As I've said before, it might not be a sponsorship. It might be a collaboration. They are two different things with different results.

All of this indoor section stuff is starting to get on my nerves if I'm honest.The plans do not show an indoor section on Kobra. I know plans can and do change, however, someone would have found out and said.Also, why have an indoor section on a Disk-o coaster!? It would not work very well. It would have to be incredibly well themed, positioned in the perfect place and make perfect sense to be there. It is a long shot that it would work - so why risk it? Moreover, it would feel better without an indoor section. Though I've never ridden a Disk-o of any kind, from the looks of it, I'd assume that going through an enclosed area would just ruin the 'feel' of the ride. In the end, the best chance of an indoor section would be in the loading area, and I just can't see it happening to be honest.Please don't think I'm saying don't discuss the rumour about an indoor section. I'm not. But I can't see it as a possibility. I doubt it will happen; that's my opinion anyway.

I can't remember what I was wearing. But the colour looks about right, as do the sleeves. It might be because I see everything else as being right that I'm just thinking the clothes are a match.

^Oh my, I did go to the park that day! And it seems very me like; hands up, peace signs. Hair cut looks about right, as do the clothes. You get my vote for getting me in the photo! (Just so everyone knows, I will vote on what I think the best photo is, not that one because I'm in it. )

Do you remember when you took that photo? I think the guy at the front right might be me! I'm going to hate voting on this challenge...

Here's my one. The background changes by the week though...

The beginning of the 2009 season was brilliant. I'm sure everyone remembers that there were squirters all around the ride and the massive amount of water before the tunnel; everyone would be guaranteed of getting soaked. Then, it got progressively worse. And worse. This does show that Thorpe can make these effects work - but it's just a matter of keeping them there. I wonder if this will be the year?

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.
