I remember press releases saying 43mph back in 2002, although the actual speed could be a different story!

Scorpion Express
It seriously is, myself or Mark will tell you just how awesome it is. I loved last summer when the queue was out of the entrance, with an awesome team on the platform, and literally queue busting like there was no tomorrow. And getting the whole queueline involved, talking to people on the platform, loved it!

Got any pictures? Post them here! Shun the non believers.... shunnnnnnn.

Alton Towers News
It might not even be open at this rate dude. I'm sure Alton will be more than happy to give you complimentary Ultimate Fastrack on Th13teen once all the technical issues have been sorted.

MTDP
This topic is pretty alarming. I'm not one for usually judging people or making assumptions but I can't help it over the internet.... life is too short to be hacking into somebody's account though, really.As for the plan though... looks interesting. I don't think I could ever see Thorpe doing a completely immersive attraction such as a Haunted House, and I've accepted that. Thorpe is more and more reminding me of a hybrid between a Six Flags park and Cedar Point.I agree with James in that Alton does have a more diverse selection of rides, I can't see how anybody could disagree in all honesty. However I do believe Thorpe have gone too far in the direction of the young teenage audience to try and add anything like a family dark ride. Of course dark rides can be intense, but we shall see.I remember in the last MTDP, other coasters were used as guides for future applications... such as using the Xcellarator layout for Stealth and the original 2008 coaster had Air's layout. As long as the attractions are good, and well thought out, I don't really mind. It's what I've come to expect from Thorpe now anyways.

Rant
Okay people, everyone breathe! There, better?I think people only intended to be tongue in cheek about it, and I doubt there was any actual intention for anyone to be nasty. But once again the internet barrier blocks our judgement of the tone in which something is said.Exams are stressful, granted, but Gemma will have much fun at Mika, won't you Gemma?

Your luck couldn't get any worse? Are you being serious?

Chessington General Discussion
Just to clear things up. The admissions areas aren't themed around Wild Asia, it's more the generic 'gateway to adventure' look they've gone for. It's a brand that's being used well throughout the website and I imagine through all promotional mediums as well.For instance when they get around to doing a European themed area, I doubt they'd be re- theming it to represent European architecture!
-
Chessie Website
Well this is absolutely fantastic. Looking through the site- I'm loving all the promotional images there, and all the little concept art for Wild Asia in the drop down menus. Awesome site, well done to all involved.

Chessington General Discussion
Yaay, as predicted then!*That's good because Chessington includes the zoo and is part of the branding. It's not a separate entity all together.*My alter-ego, Sheepie may have predicted it
