Rant
I don't like it when people walk up stairs really slowly, and there's loads of them walking in one long line walking really slowly. Taking up the whole stairway. Mainly at Clapham Junction when I need to get to Platform nine :PI also don't like it when people are shouting in bubbleworks station for no particular reason at all. And the sugar puffs advert on the Queueline TVs which is constantly playing.

X
I fail to understand why anyone can't love X, it's too much of a classic. Yeah it is just a bit WTF, and leaves riders feeling 'is that it?' and seriously confused (not helped by the random giant Phillips battery) - but I would, and will be sad to see it go when its time comes... Yeah, I saw the boarded up window on the second corner of the queue line - the white lights were also on as well as the red and blue LEDs. Is it just me, or does anyone else get annoyed when the fire exits in the queue are open. Yeah they're probably to stop us all from suffocating in there - but it kinda kills the X:\ Technology Research Centre feeling.Either way. I love it

Introduce Yourself
Hey everyone! I'm Matt, I was on here ages ago but I stopped posting for a while... godknows why. I've met quite a few of you cool beans now; and you're all lovely , can't wait to come along to the next meetup. That should be good - although I don't think I'd be able to make the fright night one - asuming there would be one. Anyway, I'm fourteen - I live near Guildford - so not too far from Thorpe Park. I'm a big fan of Ben and Jerry's ice cream, and I love Photobooth!Feel free to add me on msn and what not -> matthewnorthwood [at] hotmail [dot] comI look forward to being part of the TPM Family once again!

X
Yeah The revamp of X has made a significant difference. When you board the shuttle ("shuttle X5 is ready for boarding") the gates almost instantly close and you hear a computer like voice saying "critical error detected do not proceed" and then suddenly you're whipped out of the station and up the chain. (because on X you have to admit you dont get a rush out of it and its one of the "wehey lets go on X, we might aswel". So whenever I go on it its a habbit of mine to scream to my hearts content and at the end try to figure out who it was. If you watch the video it has the mad scientist man showing you the X shuttles and telling you about this NEW x technology which can power lots of things. After he finishes the screen says- Recoverd footage- it has some people in special clothing walking up to the station then going beyond the gates and then they shut so they have to board the shuttle. (this is shown in night vision) then it says " end of file" on the screen then it starts flashing the " X:/" sign over and over again.Well Invested money and fun to ride!

Park Music
Yeah the wispering did sort of add to the * world record breaking rollercoaster experience (power of ten etc...)The old slammer music diddnt really suit canada creek where as the new one does. Personal choice weather you like it or not!The Stealth radio -> you have to love it! (*It's BIG BOB's, It's BIG BOB's, It's Big Bobs radio show.*) when on the radio they talk about what you can eat on stealth, when you listen to it, quite funny!Music (personally) has changed for the better

Park Music
I went yesterday and the Audio on Colossus has changed (the announcement sounds much happier, rather than the old one which was depressing) does Tony Blair do an anouncement on Colossus?And Slammer Music has changed and sounds much better.More infilling on lake near M25 (hotel side) and the infilling between Colossus queue and samurai has now been turfed!a pretty good day;)
