Who the hell hasn't flipping met Heather?
Oh Colin you do look so unhappy to have met them!For which I do not blame you, ****ing awful show.
Had to be done, long time no see Phillip.
1: Dragons Fury - ChessingtonFor those of you that know me.. don't think this is for obvious reasons!I am maybe someone who is a lot less of an enthusiast nowadays I have moved into the operational side of theme parks, however I do still really enjoy everything about Dragons Fury, but on top of that I think the theme is fantastic. I absolutely adore the ride itself, it always gets my pulse racing and I would consider the ride to be close to flawless. Having worked on this as my main ride for a year, I do still really really enjoy this ride however many times I rode it during season, even though it may still have issues with block shutdowns and the like, but it's such a wild and energetic coaster. As well as this, I really enjoy the whole area itself - I know it may not be suited for someone of my age but I really love Land of the Dragons. But maybe that's just my hours of working in it for a year, who knows.2: Euro Sat - Europa ParkOut of this world, and with the ride theme that's no pun intended. I love the theme of this ride and how its 'out of control' feel is such a thrill. The music is awesome, the theming from the queue all the way through the ride and even to the exit is outstanding, something of sheer awesomeness.3: Thirteen, Alton TowersMaybe new ride syndrome but this is one fantastic ride. It isn't something that is meant to be thrilling, but if you see it as a family roller coaster then it is absolutely wicked. The theming within the queue isn't that great, but once past bag room I was absolutely astounded, Merlin actually bothering?! I was pleasantly surprised with the fast moving queue and then when we boarded, it did feel like a bit of a laugh and to be fair, it was a bit of an up down up down etc ride but when you went into the crypt, I was amazed! Great idea, and from there onwards it showed what you can do with a roller coaster when you think things though.4: Alexander Dennis Enviro400 Hybrid (TFL Route 94)Great bus, great acceleration and very quick tunraround speed. Loving the new ones on the 94.5: Class 158/159, South West TrainsVery comfortable, very fast!Sorry, I ran out of good rides.
As if.
Oooh Christmas!

Detonator Control Box, behind that is park wide recycling/bin dump, behind that is Amity Shop and Drop/Arcade.

Too quick - just thought of that but I clearly was too late
Nope I'm actually pretty sure I'm right having spoken directly to the ex Product Excellence Manager at TP, who has now moved higher within the park.Stop starting an argument over something so very petty Ricky.
The Product Excellence Analyst works for the Product Excellence Manager - PEA analyses 'leaving surveys', mystery shopper scores, touchscreen scores, ride availability/throughputs/queue times, same other parkwide Commercial Operation availability; the PEA then churns this all out to the PEM and they in collaboration create a weekly 'Park Excellence Report', which shows all of that in stats for the park (trust me there is pages upon pages of it, absolute insane amounts of data), and also agains LLW, CWoA, London Attractions individually and AT.This helps out all teams across the park in congratulating certain areas on the park in their operation, and also displays areas to improve upon.So no Ricky, you are pretty much totally wrong - you may be thinking of the Guest Services Administrator who processes all complaints and praises for the park and churns feedback to department managers and then that is fed down to immediate Line Managers. They also reply to individual complaints and also helps investigations out - for example a complaint about poor food quality.
Shall I do a little clarification?The ride had major downtime due to an exceptionally huge fault with the ride, there is no one in the country that could have fixed the issue that happened to it, the fault was fully down the S+S and clearly for the amount of time it took to fix it was the fault of S+S.'MAJOR SHOCK ON TPM: OUTFIT DEFENDS THORPE PARK FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER'
Can a mod lock this topic? There wasn't even an original decent question, yet it's just descended into a niggly argument?!Security search for A: Controlled Substances, B: Offensive Weapons.Yes it is random. End.
Samurai? What? That's at Thorpe Park.And no I haven't ever heard of Billys Whizzer, you nutcase.
Quickest dip in enthusiasm for a staff member working on his favourite ride ever going to Themeparkmad...'Oh I just can't be bothered anymore!' - K. Templeman c. 2010
Seconded.Everyone has the right to (and should in my opinion) perform a peaceful protest but when people get hurt and vandalism happens, it's a bit of an insult to those who kept our freedom and liberties within our lives - one of those being the right to peaceful protest.
