TP Daniel

I am really disgusted t this map, I think it is portraying a really poor image of the park. I'm sorry but since when should theme park maps have all this crap in? I am really annoyed about this, it seems the website was only the beginning....I genuinely am mystified at how they thought that this would be a good design to have on the map.

A true Chessington and Vampire fan!

I have an interest!

This is hilarious. Outfit you are a genius!

Got two things today; one from last year, one from today.Last year we enter a music lesson and this conversation ensued:Teacher: "Take your scarf off in here, you don't need to wear outdoor clothes indoors"Pupil 1: "Ok sorry miss.Pupil 2: "But you are wearing a scarf miss"Teacher :"No but this is an indoor scarf"Whole class: WTF?Now correct me if I'm wrong but is there such a thing as an indoor scarf?Second thingLast week we had parents evening and in English we had to write a piece on how Shakespeare shows the change in Macbeth's character, fine. We do this we go it's all good.This lesson we come back and he has a go at us because he said we had forgotten the techniques we were taught in Year 8 and we then spent a lesson going over one persons work. This is still fine but then at the end of the lesson somebody asked if we could have them back. The answer was no, I looked at the ones for the people I was seeing at parents evening and threw the others in the bin . I'm sorry but in my opinion if you're gong to tell us we had done stuff wrong then at least give our stuff back so we can see what specific areas we went wrong on.This especially annoyed me because the only reason we did this because we had done barely and writeing in the lssons for him to comment on. However our other English teacher was fine as we actually write and analyse stuff in her lessons.Anyway rant over.

Can you imagine if someone did that? It would be ridicu-oh, umm, moving on.I like the site as it is. I agree that it hits the target audience well.

How could you?! It's amazing!

Anyone else here watch NCIS? Anyone else here have OCD?

I wear them most of the time in lessons at school because I need them to read the board.

No it's not. It was a maze at Universal's Halloween Horror Nights last year.

What a great idea! How about"Please stand clear of the orb (gates), your wish (Ride) is about to be granted (begin).

I would post if I knew how to do the spoiler thing.

It's alright for some isn't it?And yeah Surrey rules!

Hmm.. I am sad to say that I have never been to Fright Nights.*Ducks and hides in secure bunker*

This is true, they probably have more important things to worry about though.

I really wish I could have ridden this at its prime because from the sounds of it all the effects came together in a great way. Shame they could not be maintained.

...We apologise, Slammer is currently experiencing some technical difficulties.Argh, I am currently writing a script for our house drama things this year (everyone must write one) and it is sooooo long and boring!

Yes, unfortunately. Believe me when I say I have tried to up this but with no luck.

I really enjoy Stealth and it is my joint favourite ride in the park with Colossus. Every time I come of it I always think WOW! I think that it was a great addition to the park overall.I was wondering if anyone could explain to me exactly how the launch works. I know that catch car hooks onto the train and pulls it along but what happens with the hydrogen (?) fuel tanks and the accumulators.Thanks in advance.

Hey everyone, my name is Daniel and I am from Surrey. My "home" park is Thorpe but I visit Alton Towers every other year. I am 13 but have been regularly visiting forums and generally being enthusiastic about rollercoasters since I was 10 . I hope to be quite active on this forum and will hopefully learn a lot about the parks. I have a mild form of OCD which can be quite annoying at times but I manage to get on with life and I am very pleased with how it has turned out.

Deary deary me.I really don't like this site and much preferred the old one. It seemed a lot more simplistic and east to navigate. I think all of the cartoony people are repulsive and makes the site look horrible. Also I had just been listening to some music and when I went over the social bit I very nearly came of my chair!I am sorry, it just looks like they are trying to appeal to what they think of their target audience. I doubt it is aiming for the over 30's and being a teenager it certainly does not appeal to me.the reviews are pointless as well because they are all just saying how amazing the ride was. "Nemesis Inferno is a sick ride" Oh God I certainly hope not. I like that ride!

I have always thought the Thorpe staff to be quite good, especially some of the Stealth operators. They are really good for telling queue jumpers to leave. Had one instance though, on Colossus I think where a guy and a girl were flirting talking so they were doing the restraints really slow.

I think that when all the effects on Inferno are working it can be a great ride. However even without effects I think it is a good ride. A must-ride every visit. I especially like the drop curving round and then gracefully rolling through the loop, it looks and feels great.Finally I think the music on this ride is top-notch, especially the station music because I just love the bass and the twinkly (Not the best way to describe it but oh well) music.

I actually quite like the repaint to Sonic Spinball. I think it looks a lot more fresh and clean.

To be honest it is not the sick feeling I don't like. I just don't like facing down from really high if you know what I mean.
