It's been fixed now. Slammer (and it's sister ride in America) have both been stupidly unreliable. I think it's just the way in which they use up the air canisters. Very unefficient and just plain useless in some cases.Though I like Slammmer, it is bloody awful at throughput for something that can fit what. 30 on both sides? S&S sometimes do bite off more than they can chew when it's NOT a Tower ride.

Honestly I have no idea, as being from London kinda means I would never ever think about driving into Central London unless it's between 11pm-5am...It WILL be an arm and a leg to park there though... Most definitely...

Parking... In central London?It IS right outside London Bridge station, so trains are quite simply the best bet... I cannot comprehend how awful it would be to park near there...

This...Raptor set the bar for this, and as long as they can produce some cracking pieces of theming, then it should certainly reach that bar and become easily the best ride in the park... And an icon for years to come...Slowly turning around onto this I guess... Who knew...

So... It's finished...Posed more questions than answers tbh... And once again it seemed to fit too much into too little time... Where's an hour long time slot when you need it?Oh well, the answer is blatently 42...

University is there to help students get into a rather work based lifestyle though, so complaining about 9am starts is a bit pointless is my point...They expect you to come in because YOU paid to go there... So if you get totally buggered up on alcomohol and don't turn up/puke/whatever else happens to people, then it's your own fault and not the uni...PLEASE NOTE that I am making a GENERALISATION here, since it happens at every uni, although for some reason Staffords main night out seems to be Tuesday, the day before no-one has anything... Perhaps more unis need to consider this policy?As for that timetable... Of course it will be full if you're doing about 6 modules in a semester... And the rest of that empty space is for personal learning... Again though, there's no point complaining about timetables because the simple fact is again, you're being prepared to go out and get a job... Who will be even stricter about work hours and the like...I repeat, welcome to university...

Once again I am in disbelief over how awful the park PR has been in recent years... Just how do they even come up with these ideas? Pick up some common/uncommon (last month's dwarf debacle) complaints out of a hat with several others helping what Mike Vallis will 'say'?JUST GO AWAY!

If they DON'T have unique music for this and have chart music it will be a stupid idea...Krake, Raptor, Thirteen, Wild Asia, Mutiny Bay and even Call to Adventure are all bloody brilliant tracks, would be a shame for Swarm to be the odd one out...

Welcome to... UNIVERSITY...It is weird sometimes... Fortunately yesterday my lecturers went, "You see those 9am starts and Tuesday and Friday? Not gonna have them unless we need them"... But everything for me gets lumped into Thursday due to Part-Timers... Resulting in yesterday's diabolical 9-7 day which had 4.5 hours doing NOTHING as it's the first week... And even then we finished early, so it felt even more pointless...In regards to your points... DON'T GO OUT THEN! If you're going to complain that your uni is forcing you to come in because you went out the night before and got hammered, only person at fault is you... Team Projects is a unit? Dunno what that is, but actually team projects are done regularly here (part of other modules coursework though)...

Done it in 1... No biggie... ;)Tomorrow is Fifa 12... Yay for wasting my money on frivolous items!

Well ACTUALLY, this was the truely first Flying Coaster... And as mentioned, the design time frame for Air was 8 odd years... So Mark is indeed correct to a degree... That's just wrong on so many levels I don't even have to make further comment... Let's look at what you wrote... You said one of a kind coaster... England both already has these (Towers having 3), Saw is arguably one of a kind due to the theme, Vampire as well is unique... Mark's point here was that we already have plenty of unique coasters... Especially in comparison to the US... Pot calling the kettle black here methinks...Let alone the comment on the construction being rushed... That's just wrong... Thorpe will have set this by a rather strict construction plan, with the deadline being March 15th... It WILL be ready to open on that day... Unless something breaks, which as long as Thorpe aren't trying to rush trains out or just generally break the thing, IT WILL BE FINE!

An Intamin is broken? Are we sure? Such a rare occurance indeed...

I'm sure when there's an update that's of actual worht (rather than MUD), there will be one on here...People need to chill and just sit back and watch the track rise from the ground...

Judging by reports it was the usual affair... It is after all one of the biggest rivalries in the UK... The police didn't help matters by not organising people away from the opposition fans... Oh look, the police are stupid, who'd have guessed

3 youngsters, from the academy, dominating your rivals...That dear friends, is what football is about... So estastic from last night still...

Let's all laugh at Brighton...You'll always be second best... No matter where you are and how much you have... Always in the shadow...EAGLES!

Interesting old concept from Disney...http://disneyandmore.blogspot.com/2011/09/d-archives-ss-disney-incredible-wdi.htmlNeedless to say, would certainly be an experience...

On-site workshop probably...

I thought the station was to be higher off the ground... Oh wells...Might be able to have some proper discussion now...

Surely the show being a 'hit' on 'BBC 3' tells us all we need to know about how good it will be?Plus, proposal at Thorpe has been done before. And I assume a proper marriage has happened too.

If ever there was a signal that the park need a brand new throughput eating coaster, this is it...

Vampire can rarely run 3 trains in Halloween though... Remember working on it in 08 when they tried it, and it constantly stopped at the base of the second lift... Plus the constant change in speed and the cold weather affects the chain a lot more, so from a mechanical point of view it could easily not be worth the extra hassle and higher chance of further problems (Indeed, the chain had issues in 08)...

Surely station framework will be built first before the track?Also, I was gonna ask if they were going to try and hide the maintenance shed like Raptor does (in fact, the queue goes on top of it) but looking at that pic, they won't... Hopefully they'll theme it to make it fit in...

Tinker Tailor Soldier SpyThis was a strange one... Expecting a talky film, wasn't a lot of that, but also not a lot of action... Having not read the book, I might well be missing some major things, but it's certainly a weird film, with random violence for little reason and long silences...However, a very strong cast with strong performances, Oldman and Cumberbatch being excellent... And it's so British they eat in a Wimpy and have a discussion whilst buttering toast... Just for that it deserves points...7/10
