  1. For some reason I can't quote. Can someone help me please?
  2. Why have we gone from "Don't look behind you" to "Howdy" to "Don't lok behind you" to "Looking good"?
  3. Not sure to be honest. I think that I'm bisexual, but hey, I'll find out soon enough.
  4. The topic seems a bit slow now. We've had the shock of the name, now everything is going quiet. It seems that now track is completed and there's only metal sheets being put round the building, there isn't much to say. There isn't no ideas to discuss and it seems as if pople are justing waiting for the cars to arrive on track or to just go on the ride.
  5. As far as I'm aware, all cars are due on site in January. So I'd guess that testing will start January / February time. If there's another Fen half term opening, I'd assume there'd be some testing you could see.However, I've had an idea. To build up publicity, they could have a test go with a few test riders (the manquein things), but a 'horrible accident' happens a saw a trap or the headchopper element chopped of his head, and now there is great concern for public safety. However, this was fixed to make the ride seem scarier and build up publicity. (I know quite a lot of people like going on Slammer because they think they'll get stuck on it...)

    TPM was blocked at school... until today.To cut a long story short, I hacked into the system and unblocked TPM and YouTube. Thankfully, I wasn't caught (nearly though) and now I can get onto TPM at school. WooHoo! By the way, good luck Martin. Hope it isn't too painful.
  7. Although it is being considered as 3 inversions, some might feel it as 4 becuase of the Immelmann turn, which could feel like your being inverted, in some cases.Also, just for conformation.Nemesis: Just over 95ftColossus: Just over 98ftDetonator: 115ft (100ft drop before the breaks)Slammer: 105ft (at the end of the rows)SAW: Just around 100ft (give or take the odd inch)(Also, for who said it, SAW looks bigger than Detonator because Detonator is further away. Just like Nemesis and Stealth look similar heights from Samurai. It is just a bit of an illusion).
  8. Contradiction?Vortex is a good ride, okay, not the greatest, but still preety good. Shame this topic wasn't made in 2001, then it would be popular.Also, (I know it might be a bit off topic) what other two rides do you genuinely enjoy Mark?
  9. Lionsgate should spend a lot of money on the theming. Does anyone think, that with enough money spent on theming and concentration on detail, this ride's theming could compete with something like Disney's rides> Obviously not as good or better, but still of a very, very good class.
  10. Amazing!So then, it seems as if this 'unknown individual' was the person tied up in the chair). If you look at his back before the TV comes on, you see the blood stains like in the other two videos.However, I'm interested in a couple of things.How does the key found in the box fit in with the SAW theme?In last month's video, 'he' flashes when Peter says: "The source is currently unknown". But why him, why would he booby trap the box? Samurai retheme, if it happens, would it be possible one of the SAW traps is the theme of it and the name has something to do with Jigsaw?Although this ride was referred to as Canada Creek coaster, COULD a new area be installed themed around SAW, or a CC retheme?Also, great the ride's trailers are continuing!
  11. Don't expect it at any particular time, I doubt we'll see it involving 13 time-wise. It will happen, it doesn't matter when really. Just remember, depending on the length, content and setting of the trailer, depends on when the trailer will be released. All trailers are made on day of release, they are just planned before the day.Anyway, Dylan looks great on a foggy / misty day. The past couple of days when there's been these types of mornings, I've seen Dylan. It looks very eerie, dark and creepy. The colour sceme is fantastic for days with that type of weather!

    Thorpe Park Total comes first for me...Anyway, I think TPM and TPG are just as good as each other. Yes, TPM does have the better layout, but TPG is a bit more consise. However, their forums do differ a lot, but I'm more on Southparks, rather than here. (Also, TPM is blocked at my school for some reason, as well as anything to do with Rush )
  13. Errr... don't you think we can't count or something?Anyway, I have looked at Mystery Mine more and more, and I am starting to feel this ride will be better. Although I've never been on it, this ride looks much better. Let's hope for the same amount of hang time. Also, with hidden surprises in store, I'd say the theming, although not as glamorous, may be just as good too.
  14. Buzzsaw would be an okay name, but I think that something a bit more enigmatic name, with lots of mystery around it would be better. However, I would like some sort of cloak between the offload and the onload, like with Tomb Blaster but a better longer. It wuld really create a good atmosphere and add to the feeling everyone had jut been massacred on the ride...
  15. I hope that they don't put a 15+ restriction on the ride.Firstly, how could they enforce it? It would mean that Thorpe would have to have someone at the entrance of the ride all the time to ask if eveyone is over 15. Then that would create trouble for people trying to get into the queue. Same goes for fastrack.Also, what happens if someone looks under 15 but isn't? Imagine the choas caused there. Same for the other way round.This would mean that on all advertsing they would have to state claerly 'Over 15s only'. I was over 1.4m when I was 10. I'm now 14. That would mean that for me personally I would have had to wait 5 years before I was old enough to ride a roller coaster, even though I could have riden it safely 5 years ago. That would be stupid!If Thorpe do want to make a 15+ restriction for theming, they should make 2 queues. One with a 15+ theming, one with an suitable for all. However, that would mean queing times would vary and then everything would get complicated and more staff would be required. It just wouldn't be worth it.Personally, I say no 15+ restriction. However, at the entrance, have a sign saying 'The theming of this ride could be scary / shocking / disturbing to some younger riders. You've been warned...' That would make everyone happy.
  16. But isn't an old, creepy windmill that doesn't move a great addition for a ride with theming like this. Wouldn't it make the atmosphere even darker?
