JoshGranted, but you have to live in GermanyDanGranted but you forgot itI wish I could finish my homework.

Granted but only involving a cucumber and Buzz LightyearI wish that I had an early night

Granted but the whole forum gets nuked!I wish I had an iPhone 4

Granted but you find out it's on a Ryanair flightI wish that I could fast forward in time so I could ride Thorpe Parks 2012 coaster.

I went on the re-themed Bubbleworks for the first time today as last time I went on Bubbleworks was 8 years ago. But it's amazing, it really brought back loads of memories. It did seem good, what effects usually don't work? But I loved it, I got on it twice today the most memorable bits for me are 'Bath time' and the water fountains. But defiantly a top class family attraction.

Thanks for the help but just one last question, do they check in anyway that you're staying there? Or is there anyway of getting round it?

Are MAP holders entitled to it?

But where do you go, as I'll probably be going in via the south entrance (the grass parking) and I have no idea of how to get it, as if I need to go to North entrance then I will.

How do you get ERT? Is it through the north entrance?

Well if you do go in the crypt, make sure you take a vid of it dropping because that would be price-less. But I hope you have a good time, I'm still jealous though

I would do anything just to be there! I would adore to be at the bottom of the crypt and see the track drop. I would put my birthday and christmas pressies together and swap them for this chance if I could. And you'll probably get a lifthill walk too > I'm so jealous of everyone whos attending.

Paul didn't even make it to the top 3....how?!?!?!But congrats to Spellbound for winning it, but Paul should've won.

I'm going to vote for Paul Burling tonight as he actually deserves it, he's been trying for 25 years in pubs and clubs just to get by and now he's got the chance to be a national star and he more than deserves it. The drummer makes it look so hard and painful where as TBH I can do what he does, he also just doesn't have a good personality IMO. Liam McNally even if he does win he won't be famous for long as his voice will break any time soon. Janey, yes she's alright...but she's no SuBo. Twist and Pulse, I do like watching them but they obviously haven't really had the dream for very long. Christopher Stone, he's an okay singer but tbh the X Factors for singers. Connected are just abit cheesy and not really original, there's already tons of boy bands out there. The dog act was okay, but not really deserving of becoming world-wide stars.Spellbound, I think they're Paul Burlings nearest rivals, they're extraordinary but really need to do well to beat PaulTobias Mead is very talented but still needs to improve. So I'd love to see Paul Burling win, but this year there seems to have not really been much real talent, as not even all the acts in the final we all can admit have talent.

I hadn't had any head issues before Saturday, but I might've just been unlucky, but it was dreadful! I came off feeling it would be smoother going on Colossus back row and actually banging my head against the restraints while moving. I actually did think that. I have had a really painful headache since.

To be honest that would never happen, the main reason being that Merlin don't make new parks, they buy established ones, or buy companies that own established ones. E.G they bought Tussards.

How busy is it likely to be on Saturday?Thanks.

Well the building site look is there because it's meant to look like it's been found and they're trying to support it (just part of the theming) and the cars and people engulfed by trees is meant to symbolise the dark forest taking over the area and sucking everything in.

Grrrr.... S-BEND'S!!!!! but that PR stunt is magical only Alton Towers would think of that

I went yesterday, sorry for no real trip report but queues were horrendous averages were about...Saw - 100 minsColossus - 100 minsLoggers - 40 minsStealth - CLOSED from 10.30amInferno - 80minsRush - 60 minsSlammer - 50 minsSamurai - 50 minsFlying Fish - 20 minsX/: WTF??? - 50 minsRumba Rapids - 40 minsSIATC - 20 minsAlive - 60 minsDetonator - 50 minsRidecountStealth - 6Inferno - 1 Alive - 1Fish - 1 Loggers -1 Rush - 1Samurai - 1SIATC - 1Time Voyagers - 1Easily the worst trip I've had at Thorpe by far! I got the same amount of rides in the first 30 mins than the rest of the day.

I'm getting there for 9 tomorrow and I'm wondering what queue's have been like and whether Stealth has been up

Anyone been today?

Tbh, I have no idea what you're talking about

A few questions....• How busy is it likely to be on Saturday?• Is it likely Stealth will open in the morning?• If Stealth is open is the best bet to just do all the rides once then whore Stealth for the rest of the day?

Thanks, but how long roughly fro stuff like the Dragon or the spider one, sorry I've forgotten the name, or the rapids.

What are the queues like there? I haven't been in about a good 10 years.
