    Music

    Going through a Linkin Park phase at the moment, there amazing! Mainly rock type music, like oasis, the killers etc. Too long a list to name all my fav bands. I also like take that =].
  2. Took a trip to legoland couple of months back. The place has changed a lot! since my visit before last which was about 5 years ago. I was looking forward to jungle coaster as it looked pretty decent but it really was a real let down, long queue as well. Queued for ages for the vikings river splash ride and like the jungle coaster didn't really enjoy it. But on the other hand the dragon was great, and so was all the lego structrues which is one of the main attractions there. Didn't mind the trip, would have been a better visit if the place hadn't been so god damn packed but then again it was summer holidays.
  3. London Buses Not always the case but a lot of the time I'll find myself waiting up to half an hour for a bus when the board says 5-9 minutes, then 2 come zooming past in a row! Mostly on the smaller request stations, main bus stations aren't usually as bad.
  4. small bags, big ones are never actual pretzels. Myspace or facebook?
  5. Took a trip to thorpe yesterday. The park was pretty busy and quese varied in major rides from about 30 mins- 1 hr 30 mins. Nemesis Inferno was very busy throughout the day considering there was no Colossus to even and out the queues. Suprisingly from what I saw Stealth wasn't too bad quewise and we only had to queue about 30 mins for it. Colossus and rush were closed all day, work going on up on the rush scaffolding was a good sign =], but nothing on Colossus as far as I could see. I was pretty impressed by the way thorpe were operating rides, the coasters open were on 2 traines each and were running quickly, flats were also running pretty quickly. Slammer had a breakdown, no suprise, and as far as I could see that was it. Anyways got on Nemesis Inferno, X no way out, Slammer, Vortex, Tidal Wave, Loggers leap and Stealth with a lil fastrack help. Not too bad for a ride count. Weather was great all day and yh pretty good day. =].

    Football

    LOL. Don't worry bout it, ive only ever been to one and that was barnet vs colchester . Any way this terrible news about Ronaldos possible departure from Man U. Bloody hope it won't go through.
  7. Schools won't be there all day. Most schools will arrive at 11ish and clear off about 4ish or so. You should get a bit of time when it isn't too bad.
  8. Stealth brakes slowing downRush in general noises. Chainlift soundsThe sound of coasters creaking along tracksDetonator release and fallTidal wave hitting the water

    Quick question- I'm planning on getting either an Ipod Classic or an Ipod tounch n am having a hard time choosing which one. Whilst the classic has more space for songs, 40 Gb, and the touch only has about 8 Gb space, there is also the fact that the touch incldes features that the classic doesnt such as the Internet, it also has a bigger screen. Just interestd in knowing what people here ould go for?

    Victory for Manchester United last night , after beating Chelsea in the penalty shoout out! So glad they won!
  11. wow there some pretty long queues! Tbh I've never queued for a ride for over an hour... I think. Unless its my first time on a ride, I wouldn't queue for too long. I suppose I usually visit on sundays which aren't ever too bad. During the fright night period I did see many rides quese extending the entrance, and the mazes were pretty long too! But fright night is never expected to be quiet.210 mins for Colossus? I'm sorry that is just ridiculous!
  12. Tbh I think alton definetely has the potential to remain the no1 theme park. As people say thorpe, chessington and alton are all great in their own individual ways. Alton stands no1 because it has many family rides which are very well themed such as Chessington, but it also caters for thrill seekers with some of the UK's if not the worlds top coasters. It seems like a while since a thrill ride arrived at alton so would be nice to see another thrill ride on the way.
  13. Ok which one do you prefer, RCT3 or No limits?

    Been to brighton pier a couple of times, nothing too great there I'm afrad. They've got a couple of mini coasters ( one which includes a loop ) funnish I suppose. And a few flats A mini log flume I believe. There was one ride there which I heard was great fun but was closed when I went. Very costly though! Anyway have fun anyway! got some great restaurants!
  15. You know your a fanperson when on the bus you hear people talking about how their gonna ride a certain ride first or something and you correct them in telling them that the ride their on about is currently closed. Also when you spend half an hour telling someone what a certain ride is and what it does when their looking at the unavailbe rides on the notice board and they say- " ohh stealth is closed, which ones stealth?"
  16. It defintetely was! , have to say that runaway train gets better every time! Themeing is great, n the tunnel just adds to the funness!
  17. Took my 1st trip of season to chessington last sunday (posting a bit late). In general it was a great day, park was completely dead all day even though it did look busyish from the amount of cars in the car park. It was quite funny seeing the black buccaneer ops having a good old chat as the ride seemed to be deserted for the majority of the day. Longest queue was about 10 mins for dragons fury. The rest were pretty much walk on. Bubbleworks and Dragon falls were down all day. Good to see the park in good condition and enjoyed my look around the sea life, which was pretty good, especcialy the tunnel walk through. From what I could see not much else had changed around the park, the odd bit of themeing here n there. And the new burger king which is looking nice, I like the vampire style shaped chairs ( can't remember if they were there last season). Arrived at the park at about 11:30 ish...Ride Count-Seastorm- 1Vampire- 4Dragons Fury- 4Peeking Heights- 1Ramesis Revenge- 2Runaway Train- 1Rattlesnake- 2Sea Life- (not a ride but what the heck)So tbh I could have got on more but it was fine just taking some videos and shots and rly just wondering the park. So in general a good day, maybe it'll be nicer visiting when the weather warms up.
  18. Good to hear countdown return! Is this just the countdown return or has the 2006 music returned to?
  19. Personally think this new ad is great! Shows the park to have some thrilling and family rides and gives a great view of the new sea life centre. Think it will definetely appeal to the public and shows chessington to be a park full of different attractions and things to do. Didn't think their old ad was any good so its nice to have something new and original.
  20. The main chessington watre ride discuss here! I personally think its a great ride with good themeing, its a good length ride and is a lot of fun.
  21. sorry guys I'm a bit late, so this is the 2006 music return? o great! I really missed that music last year, creates a very strong and intense atmosphere. Great music, I wasn't not a fan of the last year music, it definetely had its advantages such as the catchy tune. But it didn't stand up to 2006 music.

    Air

    I've been to alton towers 3 times since the opening of air. I've only seen air on very busy days but I suppose thats down to the fact that the first two times I visited were airs openeing year where I heard the q was extremely long , but luckuly I had fast pass. The 3rd time was on a school trip a few years ago and school trips before the summer are always packed. Shame the air reliability aint to good from what I've seen. But the time that I did get on air I remember feeling as if it were a really smooth ride and a lot of fun. May not be one of the most thrilling in the park but it sure is fun and different to anything else I've ridden.8/10.
  23. Well its been a while since ive posted on here, so though that I might as well give a post about my recent thorpe visit today I arrived at the park at around 12ish, it was slighltly busier than expected considering it was so quiet last year. I was dissapointed to see that vortex was unavailable and remained unavailable all day, not sure why. I didn't get a huge variety of rides in but rode the ones I did manage to ride a few times. I was extremely glad to see that inferno was pratically walk on all day, I managed to get 4 inferno rides which I was glad about. Inferno was running 2 trains which was rly good! Colossus as expected broke down a number of times during the day and had a longish queue when it was open so I thought that I'd skip it, thorpe obviously hadn't learnt from their past mistakes and kept Colossus on one train all day! X:NWO was also packed all day with over an hour queue. Suprisinly even quantum was fairly busy. Slammer was quiet all day, but thats notsuprising considering its high capacity and I got a go on that. Stealth wasn't too bad either, the queue didn't seem too long to me, and I got on that 4 times! It was only running 1 train but I don't think they need another one. Good to see some major works taking place, especcialy on tidal wave and rush. There's also a lot of work on the 2009 coaster taking place with vehicles, diggeres etc riding around the spot all day! Left the park at about 4:30. I was tired all the way home, and it was one hell of a crap journey with delays, train changes etc. But thats nothing to do with thorpe. So all in all a goodish day, could have been better but hopefully my next trip will be.Ride count-Stealth- 4Inferno-4Slammer-1Zodiac-1
