  2. I like the weeds, it makes it look more abandoned and derelict which adds to the theme of the building itself. Maybe just a trim around the traps!
  3. You know, I stood there watching them for ages and ages, and I realised the the ones of the outside of the queue were not live as they had no people in them, but I couldn't judge the inside ones, so no I don't know.
  4. Exactly, the shotguns were my favorite part of the queue as well! But I did notice that when they send me to the stairs, the tv's fizzled on minutes later to a speech from jigsaw and as soon as it finished we continued up the stairs, which was almost like a pre show, but I would still prefer the whole queueing experience.
  5. I noticed that the volume had been lowered as well, it went off after we had walked past it and it didn't make anyone flinch, and surely it would be just as simple to have someone controlling the queue at the top of the stairs instead of one running backwards and forwards between the main and fastpass entrances to the building.
  6. I queued for 2 hours and 15 minutes yesterday due to downtime, someone was sick and then technical problems started occurring, in the end we all had to leave the queue but were given priority passes. It opened about 20 mins later, but I had to queue again cos I had used my pass on stealth! Is there a reason why the indoor section of the queue, where the gunshot trap is, was not being used? Because we just walked straight past the trap and up the stairs, which was a bit more boring than watching people scream at the gunshot!
  7. That may bring a downer on my yearly trip on Saturday!
  8. It could be alot worse, and those are my queue times for mid august so it will probably be a bit quieter than that for you. I can give you a better idea on times in a week as I am going to the pleasure beach then
  9. Larger coasters and Valhalla - around an hourSmaller coasters and larger thrill rides - around half an hourSmall rides - around 15 minsIndoor attractions I.e impossible and noah's ark - 5 - 10 mins
  10. I think that you might have to just queue to be honest, but I have never seen the queues there too bad. The longest I have queued was an hour and a half for Valhalla and that was because of a breakdown.Check their website as I may be wrong, but have never noticed anything like that happening in the park.
  11. On the topic of Saw - the ride, I went to thorpe park on saturday. The blades were working, the audio was fine on and off ride and the indoor brake runs affects (crossbows) were working properly as well. It was one of my better rides on it though, I have been on a few where the indoor section was just darkness so was pleasantly surprised when it was all working well.

    YAY DUBSTEP! check out MT Eden aswell, its a bit slow but really good, roksonix is good aswell.
  13. Yeah, I'm straight but have a few gay friends, nothing wrong with them, and I have no problem with gay people. Society will just have to deal with the problems that they make out of something that doesn't actually make a difference to them. So yes, I agree with AdamY and TP Daniel.

    IMO windows 7 is as good as xp but it is made for a different type of user, its all set out in a nice looking way and doesnt look to plain and simple but is still really fast compared to vista. XP for me was a little bit plain and you couldnt do too much with it when it came to looks. Vista tried to have the looks aswell but overall it just kept going wrong and was very slow. Windows 7 is the fastest one and IMO looks the best, I think its worth the upgrade.XP users have it much better than vista users, vista users need to upgrade to 7. Simples!

    Rita

    I doubt that the name will change, its a bit too well known. It would need a complete re-theme as well which I doubt that it would get.

    This Or That

    argh my post disappeared!buying cdFacebook or twitter?
  19. I never saw it without imperial leather being a part in it all so I cant really comment, but I must say that I have had some great rides on it! splashing all the way through, and if you split your group between 2 tubs then you can splash each other! It would be nice to see the audio redone in most of the ride area's and in the station though as it can be a little jumpy.
  20. I rode it during one of the halloween nights this year, the tunnel with the smoke and strobe really made it for me! If the vampire was going, Chessington wouldn't be the same, I'm glad its staying

    Legoland

    the first drop was the only good bit of the ride, and then the lids on the cars completely got rid of all the wind that would normally hit your face and then even the first drop seemed awful. I'm glad its gone!
  22. I still dont like it, but it needed a repaint. Plus ther focus on Thirteen is alot larger at the moment so the attention will be directed more towards that than this.
  23. Damn, I need to go but wont be for a few years at least, it looks way better than I expected. Why cant we over here in the U.K be bothered to theme our rides to that extent, it makes them so much better.

    It sounds like a Thorpe ride, but I think it will be better suited to Alton, I mean, its about time that they got a themed coaster, the others except for Nemesis are not themed massively well in my opinion.

    I meant that the bare track layout was quite family friendly, but I think having a ride marketted in this way with a lowish height limit, will attract the more outgoing kids! Still looks like it has a lot of potential for theming inside, we will have to wait and see!
