Chelsea fan here and just watching the Champions league finale and don't know what to make of it , sort of pleased because many people I know are united fans and took the pee when we got knocked out but then they are just about to , and also , when we got knocked out it was the ref that knocked us out not barcelona , whereas this time Man U were purely out played :PSort of disappointed though because didn't really want Barcelona to win when they didn't deserve to be in the final Your views ?

Ha , I guess, thanks dude's

Wow that's made me think about it in a really good way if you know what I mean and made it pretty clear and also everything you've said there is true. Only thing is , if I did come out as being gay , ( I think I'm straight) there are so many people I know that would take the mick , I've been bullied... alot , but oh well I'll know in the future

T-mobile, always been with them , text loads but hardly ever call so the 3p a text thingy is good , looking into getting a contract but can't afford £15 every single month

I think I'm straight but I don't know because I've never really felt that way about a girl I usually think I'm just confused with being good friends with them. Never felt attracted to another boy and I'm not camp at all , well I don't think I am so yeah...

I find both of them comfortable to be honest, not as comfortable as Saw but more so than say Colossus, Just have to be careful on Slammer not to pull the shoulder bars down to much and it's pretty comfy

Just wondering before my visit to Thorpe tomorrow, Is Saw still running without the trims on the MCBR?I haven't ridden it without them on and I've heard it's much better without them on

Yea , I'm expecting Tomorrow to be heaving to be honest. But then again I think it's impossible for it to be busier than the last time I went so a win win situation

Thanks very much for your help , and wow thats brilliant of Chessington , that sort of thing can make a day out so much better . Carrying on with that , how often is that figure reached?

Oh yea, Completely forgot about that! But then again maybe even just 30 mins ERT

Glad you had a great couple of days.I agree completely with Rita being far inferior to Stealth.And like you I don't see why Thorpe can't give annual pass holders ERT as well.Only thing I disagree with is about Duel, I think it's themeing is patchy, cartoony and jsut a really mish-mash and well just doesn't really go. Also with Duel, it's such a hit and miss ride , sometimes it is something special and truly amazing , other's it's boring and none of the effects are working, Sadly the latter is the case most often.Once again like you said the atmosphere at Alton really does have that sort of magical feel IMO and there's so much less smoke, swearing and in general less bad behaviour.

Ah thanks very much. At least I have a sort of Idea now :DBit of a long shot but how likely is it for either of them to extend there closing time ?

Ooooh , Considering changing my trip on thursday from Thorpe to Chessington :DBtw what time are both of them closing on thursday? I would check the website myself but my internet seems to have decided to not allow me on them Any help is appreciated

I agree Colossus' loop is fantastically forceful but I don't see how you can say Inferno's is, I've never found any of it forceful , one of the reasons I just don't like it. Just my opinion though. :)Back on topic I love Colossus

Damn. Going thursday and if Loggers and Slammer are down thats two of my favourite rides unavailable. :PWhat exactly is wrong with Loggers?

I go with my friends as much as I can but thats not always possible as I'm the only one with an annual pass.Anyway back on topic , is Saw still running on 8 cars? and how long about does it take now when the whole Que is completley full?

I really would do anything for Thorpe to invest in Single rider Que's on the majority of the rides again. I haven't had a time as good as I did a few years ago when it was on most of the rides because, the rest of my family literally wont go on ANYTHING apart from maybe a Nemesis Inferno ride and a Rumba Rapids at Thorpe and they won't Que with me either so I have to que by myself for a whole day which isn't great fun and with the chavvy nature of Thorpe can be really intimidating and scary for me at times . It wouldn't be THAT costly would it?

I agree it's definatley a lot more tension building, personally I much prefer the Original Nemesis' one, but then again Nemesis is one of my favourite rides and I find Inferno short, boring, force less etc,

I respectfully disagree. Detty punches well above it's weight ( in this case height ) it's much more forceful and powerful than many larger drop towers. I do wish it was taller and had a higher throughput but it is by far the best ride IMO they could have got to fit in the height limit .Edit: On that stand up note. That would be awesome!! . What I think they should do , is build an identical detty tower but with standup seats

I agree with Inferno being the worst of the large coasters, and Woah guys hold your horses. Slammers experience is unbelievable and unrivalled anywhere else in the world ( I think ). Unless a seriously spellbinding flat replaced it or an amazing dark ride, I would be devastated if it went. I do agree though, it's reliability is diabolical, embarrassing, a shambles any other words that mean absolutely shocking. It, IMO is one of the biggest things ( of many) Thorpe need to sort out first.

Yea I agree, Manta looks amazing, and has the sort of themeing I wish Air had, But personally I think Hollywood, Rip, Rideit, Rockit or whatever it's called looks better

For those most wanting to ride Sheikra, It's absolutely brilliant, BUT it's very slightly and literally the tiniest of margins better than oblivion. The drop is awesome but similar to Oblivion's and the only real difference is there's nothing below you at all. Haven't decided if I prefer Oblivion's hole or Sheikra's open-ness. The rest of Sheikra isn't as good as I think it could of been.For me the ride's I want to ride most are El Toro, Millenium Force, Something like them, with lots of airtime as I'm still yet to ride an airtime full coaster where the main point of the ride is Air-time

From pictures it's got to be Cedar Point, But from personal experience , It's got to be Busch Gardens Africa Or Islands of Adventure

Sounds like maybe all this hype for SAW is hopefully beginning to die down ? hopefully

I wan't to believe what he said because those 3 things happening would be AMAZING beyond belief IMO . But yeah I wish there was some sort of proof :oEDIT: Just been thinking and if there is a new roller coaster going in the Black Hole tent , maybe that's going to be the world first? a possibility? Or maybe I've confused myself
