Simple business to get to Thorpe from Central London, single train from Waterloo (or can go from Victoria but will require changing at Clapham and a MILE LONG walk)... Vauxhall is another alternative as Waterloo trains head straight through... Then a bus from Staines station (or taxi, whichever floats your boat)... -
Straight from Towers' Twitter!

This week in new games... Bioshock Infinite Luigi's Mansion 2 Lego City Undercover (Also getting Tomb Raider, gonna be busy)
He thinks it's TOO low for a ride like NWO... Although with new trains, comes new individual lapbars... Indeed, the original NWO had a min restriction of 1.2 (odd) [citation needed], and was raised when someone ended up out of the train (as riding with those of a larger disposition meant those under 1.4m could easily get out of the train)... Of course, the other side is it going against Thorpe's BIG THRILL marketing...
Maybe you shouldn't be so boring then
And nothing of value was lost...
Phantasialand's new Flume ride is taking shape... I don't even know where to begin... Looks more confusing than Smiler does...
WHAT a ride... Only reason anyone needs to visit that place... Sod the rest of it, Katun is where it's at...
4 (FOUR) Inversions > 9 Air Times
That's with riding Goudrix AND Sequioa Adventure as well?
What immensely well themed trains!
Been sponsored by them for... 2/3 years I think? It came with the revamp of the logo/signage/new bins... Not the worst ride sponsorship we've seen in the UK...
But surely if people want information on a park they would go to the official site as the first piece of available information? Not a Thorpe Park biased forum where many on here won't actually know the answer?
http://www.chessington.com/updates/#wwu The websites exist for a reason...
Did they announce it would be open with the park? Not anywhere I can see, so yes, I do expect it to be a construction site, even if the rest of the park opens this week... 2 months since groundwork was going on as well... That's a worse construction window (if they aimed for opening) than any of Merlin's stuff... Logic dictates therefore they were not aiming for a opening day jobbie with this (especially as the Flume came from Camelot, hence a decision no doubt waited on whether or not that would've been coming along to the park)... Indeed, this is a HUGE investment for Oakwood, let them build it in their own time and judge the FINISHED product... Not the current state (with it's surprise indoor section, was not expecting that)...
It's in the middle of construction... How about judging the finished article? Not half way through?
In your opinion you find them fun... It's the Mitch Hawker issue all over again!
Not a sentence that makes much sense really (not that I've done Baco or new Stampida, though El Diablo was just crap)... Rides being excessively rough do indeed cause a detrimental effect to the enjoyment of it... Not that Dan said they were rough, just tripe mind...
Imagine the irony if that was because the main social media person was stuck at home due to the snow
Enforced fun times at meets </3 N.B. I am being sarcastic...
