Haha, that Simps100 is slacking :DIt'd be great to get a couple of group rides before we all split up in to our different groups this time. You know it's bound to happen, it's too big a group to stay together all the time, but it'd be nice for just a couple of rides, at least! :DPlease?

Okay so there are 3 websites not working for me now. Haven't been since yesterday. Facebook, photobucket, and Windows Live Mail. It's making me so angry. There are 73 messages that need to be read!

What kind of slaps

So I was sorting out my room today and went looking through my CWoA memorabelia, some fantastic memories here. Good times, bad times, but what I'll take away most from working at Chessie is the confidence it gave me, and friends that will last forever.

Hmm we should tell all the parks. Have a massive sign with his face on it.

The shocking abuse from that boy's mouth. See what I have to put up with? Very nice facade you have going on Keith, others will believe you, I'll always know the truth about you

Keith would like to say that he thinks Vampire is the worst ride in the UK. Possibly the worst coaster he has ever been on in his life. He said he will spit on it's grave when it finally leaves CWoA, the sooner the better.He then went on to say that Fury is a far superior coaster, the best thing since sliced bread, he can't wait to ride it again in the new season. It beats Vampire's sad, sorry little excuse for a ride.

Dude that is awful :DSchool can be such a tough environment to be in. Haha the hair comments bring back so many memories, but yeah needless to say your hair does own, and us ginge's have to look out for one another :PSeriously though, Keith and Mark are right, do something to help yourself; I repress a lot of things that happen to me and I still deal the the reprocussions everday. It's a very difficult thing to deal with, but when it is dealt with the right way by teachers and what have you, it does make schoool life a lot more bareable.

Ahh Mark I love Julie Gardner! The Heather thing must have been awkward! Lol!! I understand she visits Chessington a lot.

Hey James. Public transport to Chessington is really easy. It's within the travelcard zones (zone 6 I believe) so it can also be a very cheap day out. I've often been to london in the morning, then popped over to Chessington for the afternoon.Depending on where you live, trains run from Waterloo to Chessington South every half hour, and takes about 40 minutes. I did the journey everyday, haha. When you get to the station, it's a well sign posted 10 minute walk to the park. it's literally two roads to walk down.If you're not travelling from Waterloo, then the easiest way is to probably catch a train to Clapham Junction, then grab the Chessington South train from there. Obviously I'm not entirely sure on where about you'll be catching trains from so it's pretty much dependant on where you live.Another way is to catch a train to Surbiton. These run far more frequently from both Waterloo and Clapham Junction. Once at Surbiton, you just need to catch a bus (they're london buses so Oyster Cards can be used) to CWoA, The 71 actually goes to the bus stop just outside the main entrance, so that's easy. You can also catch the 465, which if you're lucky enough to get, is a bit quicker, but you'll need to press the bell to get off at the bus stop, accross the road from the main entrance.Whichever way you choose, they're roughly the same amount of time, so either one really!Hope that helps. :wub:Also I'm hoping to pop up to Chessington later this week to try and get some photos of the road works at the entrance if anyone is interested.

Lol, you can say whatever you like about Lady Gaga, but she is incredibly talented and unlike many other artists, sings live. Also, if Pink can do it, suspended upside down, spinning and flying through the air, then there really aren't any excuses anymore.Love them both.

Wow James cheers for that. I was geektastic and kept pausing the video. Trains look great, simple lap bar design, hope they're okay with my long legs! Proof will be in the riding I suppose.Alex was making me cringe in that video, ahah. When he was talking though, take a look at that air time hill- how low it is compared to the track around it. There will be some intense air time there. Noticed some lights inside the station, looks nice and creepy, let's hope not too much light creeps in from the outside. Excited? Much!Edit- actually if you look closely it does look as though there could be some kind of door that opens on dispatch.

Would you like to elaborate? We'd all like to know what you think.

I'm still on the fence with the Rita retheme; I'm still not sure if I like it yet.After talking to a friend about it, we agreed that there is something sinister about nature taking over man made environments, sort of like, nature claiming back the land that was once theirs'. I think the public will like it.

If you've ever been on Duel: Live, then that's an indication, although the original had many more effects. If you love Duel then I think you'd love the Haunted Mansion/ Phantom Manor at the Disney parks.

Guys honestly, in the most polite way possible, all you have to do is go back one page and that will answer any doubts about restraint type and many other questions about the ride.

Yep it's a true event that's happening. All good for marketting their new ride.

Minisite.Loving the promotional image on the far left at the top. Loving the whole look of it, too. Also, there's snow on the ground in one of the pics, suggesting they were taken a while ago, unless it's snowed since Friday up there.

Haha, well it doesn't, I just love the crooked nature of it though.

Interesting fact for you, the whole Potter project has a price tag of $200 Million, which works out at £126 million approx. Mega money! Blackstone like splashing out on Universal :wub:This was in the telegraph today. Aerial view of Hogsmeade.Photo of the Owlery, look at how it defies gravity Courtesy of Samuele at Orlando United.

Actually, yeah you're right, I can see 10 rows too, hmm *redoes calculations*

Ahh I was just coming to post that!! :wub:I love them! 10 rows of 2, so 20 people per train, therefore we can work out the average ride time, because I'm clearly that sad. Seriously though, those trains are sexy!Edit- So, with 3 trains we're looking at roughly 2 minutes of ride time, with 1 minute of unload/onload time. That gives us a throughput of exactly 1200.With 4 trains you're looking at a ride time that's closer to 2 and a half minutes.

So the Grammies were last night.Among the winners were Beyonce, who won 6! Including one for best R&B performance and album. Taylor Swift won 4, including best country performance and album of the year!I'm very angry because Black Eyed Peas won best Pop Vocal album over Pink, The Fray, and Kelly Clarkson!

I'm becoming so obsessed with Dexter, been watching it online. Phwoarrr he is also extremely yummy :(I also heard he has cancer

For anyone interested, the North Entrance of the park is completely cordoned off right now due to the planned refurb for that area. Lots of trees removed and things are already starting to look better.I was in the car so I was unable to grab a picture.
