Chessington Staff
Chessie staff will always be better than Thorpe in my opinion. They always seem more enthusiastic, bubbly and hilarious aswell. I remember getting into the train seats for Vampire, and one of the staff members was pretending to scare kids by saying "Mwuhahahaaa you cannot escape from ze Vampire! Zam I not scary with zis Transylvanian accent?", then the control booth staff said through the microphone, "If he's putting on that accent again, don't worry, it's for comic effect.. and because he had too much coffee." Haha. Good times.

Traditions At Thorpe Park
- I always put my ticket in the machine the wrong way - I ride X:/NWO first - Usually after X:/NWO, I go either to Nemesis:Inferno or Rumba Rapids - Lunch is always at the Ranger County BBQ - Standing in the Tidal Wave wet zone, then running away as soon the water splashes up, is compulsory

Thorpe Park Merchandise
I don't think I've ever properly gotten merchandise apart from the odd sweet tub or two, because everything else was expensive. Could do with a N:I mug or a theme park hoodie to be honest.

Sea Life Centre
I like the Sea Life centre, the interior is pretty and nicely themed but the exterior is awful with all those bits lying out behind it.
-
Tomb Blaster
I haven't seen Tomb Blaster with a queue over 30 minutes since it first opened! Everytime I went, it basically stopped at the staircase outside before going in. Methinks my favourite bit about it, is the music. It's something to just hum to when bored =]

Old Vampire
Does anyone have a picture of the main gate used for queuing for Vampire before it got moved next to the currently-deceased Fastrack?
-
Efteling
*Gives loving topic bump*I went to Efteling ages ago, and it is one of the most beautiful parks I have ever been to! Methinks it was 2002, or '04 as I visited America between there. Anyway, unlike some theme parks I had been to before, it was very authentic and virtually no tackiness, or litter anywhere!It was basically a fairy tale mix of Alton Towers and Disneyland Paris, with no litter. Does anybody remember Vogel Rok?

Thorpe Park's Old Days
I miss old Thorpe, before the days of massive rollercoasters looming above us now and annoying deliquents. It was incredibly peaceful and just a big fun day out with the family. Does anybody remember the excitement of Tidal Wave when it was opened? The thrill of getting constantly wet!

Rattlesnake
My faaavourite rollercoaster at Chessie. It never fails to impress me! The theming is amazingly done, inc. the animatronics. I love the music on it aswell, wish I could get hold of it somehow.
-
Rodger The Dodgers Dodgems
Everytime I stand in the queue line for this, I feel compelled to dance. It is a great ride, and I do find it interesting to see one of these at a Merlin park, making it rather unique. It's absolutely fun and it shouldn't be removed for another couple of years. The theming particularly is well done, and is the brightest thing left in Beanoland IMO.
