  1. Well I don't know any staff but the name Rachael comes to mind, and also there was this awesome lady last year in August in Lost City. She was very enthusiastic and also wore those old sports car goggles =D I can't remember her name. Now I want to meet 'Alfonso' Sounds like a fun guy Now with the Stall people. On my visit some guy called Anil threw the basketball at my friend and then shouted at him for not catching it when we were heading to Saw... I think we were all a bit like "seriously, did that just happen?" and walked away... But it was taking the P... However there was a night guy who was cheering on the little boy who was throwing the hoops around the pillars on the floor. But I agree that those people are way too pushy!

  3. Maybe she is Jigsaw's apprentice?? Amanda
  4. Hah, I refuse to go in the FN mazes because my friend Charlotte has the scar to prove that she got stabbed by a syringe-wielding nurse in The Asylum in the arm. And yes, she was so freaky lol The way she just follows you up the stairs =DD And a woman, about 20-25 ran out the SRQ for me =D Was so funny ^^
  5. lol was that on the 9th? I saw a woman from the queue run down the stairs and peg it out of the SRQ entance. When I was watching the guy in the crucifix-trap at the entrance that woman in the cape came up behind me, I turned about and burst in to laughter, waving at her =P She then followed me up the stairs, the other side of the cage and I was in hysterical fits of laughter the whole time =D

    sorry if this sounds really stupid but I've seen a 115ft limit mentioned a few times, what does it mean? Because Stealth is 205ft so I'm a bit confused :)And I read somewhere that X:// No Way Out was being replaced by dark family coaster like a wild mouse or something, but I think it might have just been a rumour :/ Sounds unlikely tbh
  7. Hah me being stupid again =P We were always sat on the first train so we didn't ever get that long stop before the small drop with jigsaw on his bike, sorry for my stupidity
  8. To the guy who works at Thorpe Park and said it'd be at 8 carriages on the weekend. I don't think it was :SThere were 2 carriages at the docking bay, then two behind at the departure bay, and then that'd mean two carriages going round the track/sitting at bottom of drop.As far as I could count it was at 6 carriages, but hell I don't work there so I can't confirm that!
  9. well I wasn't in the queues, but umm... the first time we rode it (about 1pm) it was at 90 min. After it broke down it was shorter and it stayed at around 60-90 minutes for the rest of the day. It's dying down for now, but too many f**king loud chavs shouting from the queueline :S And as far as I know most of the animatronics were working.
  10. My trip report for today using priority disabled passes due to my dad inviting himself :S I was there from about 11:30 to 5:30Ride CountDepth Charge - 1 Nemesis Inferno - 2 Colossus - 2 Rumba River Rapids - 2 Saw the Ride - 3 Samurai - 1 Loggers Leap - 1Tidal Wave - 3 (it was kinda hot)Zodiac - 2Quantum - 2Vortex - 1 Rocky Express - 1We took the train/bus from Staines Station and arrived at the park at about 11:10, my friends then got their tickets and we finally got in at like 11:30 As my dad, being the annoying guy that he is by inviting himself and then his disabled friend so we had 2 passes :S, got his priority pass, the rest of us all went on Depth Charge, which I came off dry... again! Then we walked over to Nemesis and got on within five minutes. Great first coaster of the day. We then went over to Colossus and got on that, which was okay. Then as we waited for the card times to work again we headed over to Rumba Rapids and then since we were all soaked decided to go on Tidal Wave twice. Then we made it to Saw!! After being disappointed at the syringe pens being sold out (damn I wanted one ) We got on within like two minutes, this weird girl in a red mask stalked me and I laughed at her face out of what I would call nerves? But that flipping first drop got me again, then that woman being ripped in half or whatever it was meant to be, in the barrel roll was funny to watch. Then it was fun going up and feeling like we were about to fall backwards, then it crashed over the top and I managed to stay hands free for the first time, wooh! =D Then we went on Samurai which is amazing and new as always! Whilst waiting for our passes to finish we hit lunch and went to the Calypso BBQ place and I had a yummy Piri Piri Chicken Burger and Lattice fries, but how much onion did they put on..? I began to think that instead of knives they used axes and shovels.. I think the onion slice and tomato slice was bigger than the actual burger. After that we went on Rocky Express (omg isn't it great? ) and Loggers Leap. Since we were already wet we head over to Tidal Wave and went on it for a third time Then we headed to Stealth and the first time all day I was pissed off. We were about to get on and it didn't start and was down for about 3 hours until 5pm. So we trotted over to the Lost City and got on Colossus in record timing of about 2 minutes, then we hit Zodiac, Quantum x2 and Vortex. Then my friends all went on detonator but me being the chicken I am refused to go on the stupid drop tower (bad experience with them). Then we went over to Samurai and omg yet again it broke down just as we were about to get on, but it was funny this little girl was on it crying as it rocked back and forth for about 10 minutes. (wow I'm quite evil!) Instead we just decided to go on Saw again. Then we ran over to Nemesis and went on it once more. Our last ride of the day was Saw again, and we were all annoyed to see Stealth working as we headed home... Overall it was a great day! Lots of fun Samurai was down for about 20-30 minutes Saw was down for about 30 minutes Stealth was down for about 2 1/2 to 3 hours Slammer down all day

    Btw this is the first ever place I've ever admitted my sexuality :/ Cba to get all the hassle of being open IRL since the last guy who admitted to being gay got bullied so much he had to move out of the area.

    What puts me off girls is when they dress up as sluts and go round in short skirts and a ton of make-up >.<IMO that just makes them look ugly :/

    I'm Bi but prefer guys :/ But the fact I have a gf that I love kinda goes against that!

    Went on Saturday with my school friends in 80 Themed clothes which was great ;)Tomb Raider thingy was okay, but the advert made it look GREAT so it was a bit of a letdown.On the other hand, Scarab Bouncers was great lol... For such a little ride it actually was quite entertaining, especially with a 2 yr old girl next to you crying her eyes out (aww I'm so mean )
  16. David replied to Phill's topic in General Discussion
    Is that when it slows down and gets stuck up-side down? Because that happened to me last time I went on the Mighty Warrior
  17. yay All my friends think it's better than Shockwave
  18. Does anybody agree with me that Geforce is the worst ride at the park? Geforce totally ruined my day because after I got off it I felt really ill and so far it's the only ride to make me feel physically sick. And plus I had difficulties breathing whilst on the ride
  19. David replied to Dan_Rush's topic in General Discussion
    If instead of 205ft it only went like 150ft and then went in to Colossus up really high instead of on the ground like Colossus is And well I only say that because I'm not too keen on big drops so Stealth takes it out of me everytime I go
  20. David replied to Phill's topic in General Discussion
    I love Samurai so much =] I've been on it 17 times and EVERY time I've been on Arm 5 Not sure why but each ride has been great, and I've sat on every seat except the far middle because looking at the rusty middle would scare me :DSamurai is perhaps my favourite ride at TP. Unlike roller coaster's it's ALWAYS different
  21. David replied to Dan_Rush's topic in General Discussion
    lol at your photo ^^
  22. I went last year and it was a great day out. First of all we got the Passes to skip the Queues using phones and got on Kumali 20 minutes later. For an inverted coaster and being young (I'm new to forum and I'm only 14) I have to say I was quite scared, It doesn't look that high until you get to the top of the lift chain, and it felt like it was going on forever. But then when it dropped I felt completely safe and liked the ride. The boomerang half-loop inversion was awesome but by the end I was almost falling out the seat which really terrified me Bigger restraints would be appreciated =D The On-Ride videos are also a great idea, I can't wait to get one on Saw.Then we went on Voodoo the pirate ship and it's much better than any of the others I've been on in the country. Followed shortly by the River Splash ride. Other than a big stop half way through it was a good ride, and watching all the animals was a great experience. The drop was good but Loggers Leap, Stormforce 10 and Tidal Wave were better in my honest opinion.Then my group went on the Vortex-type ride but I'm sad and have a huge fear of swing-rides after going on rush last year. They all said it was a good ride and it definitely made them all dizzy, so I suppose it's a must go-on if you don't mind them. Velocity. For me the best ride in the park, the feeling of being launched off in that awkward position was great and the photos were all quite funny, though it woulda been better with a nice inversion The wild mouse was pretty much Rattlesnake but without the theming but some of the drops were still fun: Note - Don't sit on the right when you have a heavier person on the left unless you want to be squashed. As my friends (again I don't like drop towers either) went on the Upwards Launch tower I watched and laughed when they got off and they all felt sick. I was also told that the lapbar really didn't feel safe when it launched and for a split second one was positive he was about to die (lol) Other than those we just went on them again but Velocity broke down when we got on for the second time. There was an inversion ship which was quite fun and also a Ripsaw kind of ride which I don't think went upside down but it was shut for most of the day so we didn't get on it :/ And I'm annoyed because I really want to go on Mumbo Jumbo =[ But Saw looks better tbh :L I don't know why I did this but just for anybody who plans on going there just to say which are the best rrides for adrenaline junkies Oh and the zoo is good as well ^^
  23. David replied to Sam P's topic in UK Attractions
    I think the one at chessington and Voodoo at Flamingo Land are better than Blade tbh :s Blade is quite a thrill but next to Ripsaw and Nemesis it just doesn't filter through as a 'Hardcore' ride. Whereas Voodoo and the one at chessington (arg I'm so stupid I cannot remember the name for the life of me ) is better IMO.
