Stealth is the signature/icon coaster because its so tall. It's basically a landmark for Thorpe.

But the whole point of the Police Car is well, to give the impression that the police were there. Investigating Jigsaw's "Games". Scattering bits of it around Thorpe would just be pointless.I wouldn't get your hopes up about it sticking around, seems to be some sort of Coaster Construction Ritual. Remember the Red Car that was at Stealth?This One vvvvNever stuck around did it? Its been left somewhere around the farm I believe.

Thorpe Park Trip Reports
How did it go and where was it played?

Possibly to the back of the coaster behind the building, or for deliveries to the shop? But IMO it seems pretty odd of them not using the largest part as a queue line. I'm not entirely convinced by this.

I think so. I was so stupid today actually. Thorpe tried to call me and it could've been the call that finalizes everything and I missed it. But the stupid thing was, I had my mobile in my pocket ALL DAY! I felt gutted because I couldn't call back the number they dialed from, they block incoming calls. They didn't ride it.

Jigsaw might want you to throw yourself from the top of the building to see if you really are grateful for your life

SMOKE! I SEE SMOKE! Wonder where that fits into?Freddy Please tell me you took that photo whilst standing as still as possible. Because those blades ARE SPINNING

Saw- Construction Thread
Actually if they're spinning at a decent speed, then you will be able to tell because of the motion.
-
Saw- Construction Thread
Well even if they do spin, they'll probably stop spinning after the first year or two. Just like Tidal Waves Gas Tank thingybob.

That cog mechanism is definitely for effect. If they were going to spin, a motor would've been installed, which is more capable and faster at spinning the blades.

Jade Goody
But Mark that is the point. My mum is currently undergoing treatment from cancer, and I'm pretty sure that the papers or any form of media wouldn't care about my mum would they? The only reason they are publicising Jades story is because she's famous.Perhaps a local newspaper would write up an article for someone such as my mum, but thinking about Jades situation with mass media, it just wouldn't happen.The question we are all asking, is rather much like the question I'm still asking today about a different story.What is so Special about Jade Goody?What is so special about Madeline McCann? (She got tons and tons of publicity, she wasn't even famous before she was kidnapped)She is in the same position as other people, but everyone else didn't get celebrities calling out for peoples help.It actually bothers me to a certain extent, it really does.

You could be right there Matt, but IMO they wont be allowed to spin. Who Knows

Well lets think about it actually.If they did ride it, then that would mean all this testing is completely pointless, no? The whole point of testing, is to ensure it meets the safety standards and that it is okay for the general public to ride. Let me remind you that the people photographed are still normal people. So if it is okay for them to ride, then it's okay for everyone else to ride, and there would be no need for testing.Thorpe wouldn't have allowed them to go round if they hadn't tested it.Short Version: They Didn't Ride, Because Its Not Logical

Do You Own Any Pets?
2 Kittens, 2 Rabbits and 1 HamsterThe kittens are both girls, Kiki & Amber. Most adorable cats ever! Although Amber is extremely shy. Kiki is just really naughty, but also cute and lovable at the same time. We then have our two rabbits, Smokey & Charcoal. Both Boys, brothers infact, they just run around in thier run all day and eat all of thier food. Charcoal is seriously overwieght, because he is huge!Finally we have one hamster, Snowy, poor thing is on her last legs, although she is still going strong. She is mostly a sleeper. HmmmmI will upload a few pictures soon.

Computers
Yeah but in my experience it takes 20 minutes to record a 2 minute video. Thats un exaggerated. when you start recording the game play just slows right down to like 1-2 frames ever 10 seconds. perhaps thats just my computers, but the same thing has happened on 3 computers. Give fraps a shot.
