Didn't really know where to put this so thought here would be a great one.Just seen on TowersTimes something I'm sure all of you would like to see,Certainly makes for a good read.http://www.thorpepark.com/downloads/student/Thorpe%20Park%20Student%20Pack.doc

Remember everyone voting begins later tonight

Looks great :wub:One thing , you go underwater ?Keep the entries coming guys

Ah, thanks very much you guys :)Definately going to look into this a bit more :wub:Thanks again

There isn't a quick question topic for Chessington so I thought here would be as good a place as any. :wub:I'm currently planning/trying to organise for myself to take the train to Chessington. I was wondering how many have done this, how is it? How long does it take to walk from the station to park etc. Any information would be a huge help :)Fingers Crossed I'll be able to find a way to do this and therefore be able to visit the park a bit more frequently Thanks guys,

Voting begins on Friday, but you could enter on Saturday if you wish and I could add you to the poll

Also guys just had another quick look at the video and as pointed out on TowersTimes, the lap bars are actually individual :)They look near identical to the restraint system on Expedition Everest for those who have been on that ride

Just a quick reminder to get your entries in

The thing just looks fantastic in my opinion,And like you Mikey, I agree that Airtime hill looks like it will have a pretty awesome amount of airtime :)Really good views of the ride in that video.

http://thi3teen.blogspot.com/On that website is a video showing off a few more views of the trains, I must say, I think they look unbelieveable to be honest...Oh and from the video's its now pretty much confirmed the restraint system will be a single lap bar, which can be seen on another Intamin family coaster.Ha so excited for this ride

Yes there's rarely a queue, but it's rare to get a car to yourself

Both great entries guys :)I would love to see if Keith would do anything to Vampire ?

How do you time it so your always there when you'll be the only one in the car ?I actually don't mind Duel, but I really wish they would take the LED's off and even if they turn it into a family friendly haunted house like Duel: Live that would be brilliant.

Yep, you can apply from the 3rd of Feb :wub:Anyone else think that an hour on Air isn't quite an endurance test , more of a how long can you last before you sleep test. One or two rides on it is great, but for an hour?Anyway sounds like a great event, especially in terms of marketing

Ah, you have to be 18 to apply :)Oh well

I love the coherence of the area so far, with the re-theme of Rita definitely looking similar to the trains, especially when you compare Rita's new wheel.

This looks unbelieveable , Can't wait to see what its like in person in 2011

I must say I absolutely LOVE the trains :)Everytime I see anything even slightly related to this coaster, it makes me EVEN more excited

The Challenge #4Right, this week your challenge is..."To re-invent/ re-create/re-name/ re-theme/ whatever you want to call it, one of the following 5 rides;"-Air-Rita-Colossus-Vampire-BubbleworksPlease give reasons for why and describe your "new" ride.Good Luck :(Any questions, don't hesitate to ask

And the winner is...MARK9Well done , great picture :DLots of great entries this week, thanks to everyone who entered and voted Next weeks challenge will be up shortly...

I must say, I think this re-theme looks great so far, really can't wait to see the finished product

Voting will close later tonight guys, last chances for you to vote :(Along with the announcement of next weeks challenge

You know you don't HAVE to open them even when there in the off-topic section, right?If you don't like having "fun" then just don't open those topics...

Th13teen has reportedly started testing, however it has also been reported that it has stalled/ has been stallingThis is a normal occurrence and it is likely to be teething problems where the coaster just needs to run itself in :(Can't wait for an update/ to see the cars.(Info from Towerstimes)

Welcome to the forums, just a couple of things :(Rameses Revenge and Ripsaw are Top"spins" and Air is at Alton Towers
