California Screamin' valleyed the other day...The reason? A bag dropped onto the train during the loop and naturally it caught the train as it fell and BAM... Valley...Want proof of even MORE stupidity? Here's an actual POV of the incident and someone dropping coins EDIT - Video was removed by the user, but apparently has been reuploaded... So a quick search will probs find the stupidity...

You know you could speak to me in a more acceptable tone... Instead of making silly comments like you think you're talking to a 12 year old... Especially as I don't know any local routes from Stoke as I don't ACTUALLY live there, the only route I know is the signposted one from the M6, so don't assume that I'm totally oblivious to how bad the roads are... I've been to Towers when things break, but since Rita makes no difference to me, and indeed when I went once when Nemesis was broken it still wasn't busy... Maybe I'm just lucky with never actually experiencing these issues that constantly plague you? Difference is that when stuff breaks at Thorpe people don't have to walk further than 2 feet before meeting another coaster, indeed I always find Thorpe busy, narrow, depressing and generally un-exciting... I can go on only 4 rides and be done... Since there's nothing else to do at the park aside from enjoy the company of the general guests... Who are not very nice people (not to say Towers don't get their fair share, but they're easier to avoid)...Then again, I'm as bored and tired of Thorpe as you seem to be of Towers... Indeed because Thorpe is new to you you don't have this vision of it that I do... A barren island full of idiots with a terrible reliablitiy that on more than one trip has made me want to kill myself... Towers never has done that to me...And if you think the fans think the streets are paved with gold, you haven't read TowersTimes...

I love the books and still have ALL of them (literally, including the Science, Maths, Geography, etc off-shoots)...The series however, is pretty epic too... But the mediums are very different and both are very good ideas to let kids do... Though I will personally by throwing books at my kids from the moment they're born...

When I say getting to the park for 10, I mean at the gates at 10, not the car park... Regardless, I've never experienced problems of queuing aside from when the Monorail decides to pack itself in for whatever reason...From Manchester it SHOULD take about 2 hours odd... Takes me an hour to get from Stoke to Manchester on an average Motorway, then add in another 30 minutes for the A50 and then the country roads, besides, I've left to go to Towers from London at 5am... So 7:30am SHOULD be a piece of cake...And you've also hit Thorpe on a good day if you enjoyed it... I've spent far too many days there with everything broken (I'm sure anyone who went to Saw's opening day can attest), and only once have I enjoyed the atmosphere... Other times it's just bland and quite frankly rubbish...Evidently you need to spend days at the park not at this time of year, where a multitude of school kids turn up and ruin the fun for everyone involved... Indeed, perhaps stay at the hotel and take advantage of the ERT? Or don't do Intamin land first, and stroll (or even Skyride) over to Forbidden Valley where often most people don't turn up until about 11... Towers are also solving the locker issue (something I've never minded since I never use them) but placing them at all major rides...Oh, and try having Thorpe be packed solid... 3 hour queues for Inferno? You say that Towers bores you, at least when busy you can do stuff other than rides and they actually have good queues and throughputs in comparison...

To the person who tried to break into my car...You're a **** and I hope you get hit by me later on in life...What a absolutely **** world we live in...

I reckon this will essentially be the official reveal of the ride to the public... Layout, theme, type, opening day, cost, that sorta thing...As long as this doesn't make me react like Saw did, let's go

To be fair, there's nothing else to do in Miami so you might as well spend the day on the internet (and the rest of your time there)

I've arrived at Alton plenty of times for 10 and I've never had any trouble entering the park with no hour long wait... Indeed, if you GET to the park an hour early (9 compared to 10 open) and have no AP, you will actually be waiting the hour...Indoor food outlets are hard to come by, but, Woodcutters, Cuckoo BK, KFC, Towers Family Restaurant and Pizza Pasta all exist and Woodcutters for me is one of the best improvements at the park in recent years... Elsewhere I've not ever had much problem with food at the park, even at Courtyard BBQ...Why would anyone do Spinball first is quite beyond me... Of course most people tend towards it because it is the first thing you say (something Towers failed on when placing it), but anyone with sense heads towards either Thirteen, Oblivion or Nemesis first... Indeed, going to the Valley first allows several quick rides in amazing succession...Long walks a problem? Skyride? I'm also one who prefers a nice gap between rides, as it's just as boring doing ride after ride after ride as it can be for people having to walk 10 minutes to another one...Whilst Thorpe has a lot more thrill rides than Towers, it lacks a distinct atmosphere and niceness... I don't feel rushed or cramped at Towers (unless it involves Rita's or Spinball's queue) and that is actually one of the most important aspects to a good day for me... Plus, there's a LOT more for a 7 year old to do at Towers than Thorpe... Unless Bench - the Ride is better at Thorpe these days?Evidently, if you're only doing 4 rides before lunch, you need to rethink your route around the park, as the last time I went to the park and entered at 10 I managed to get on Thirteen, Rita, Air, Nemesis, Charlie, Duel, Mine Train, Rapids and Flume before lunch... There's a definite trick with a route on Alton, and walking from Forbidden Valley back towards the entrance hits this very well...And the day I pay attention to some comments on let's say Facebook, (for example, look at some of the posts on the LC12 video), is the day I lose my sanity...

It defo needs to be a much more 'make-believe' war (aliens, zombies kind of thing), otherwise it could get very touchy in the case of sensitivity...

http://www.facebook.com/#!/video/video.php?v=171304192938034&oid=27217550866&commentsColour me slightly intrigued as to the angle of the theme...

It's way too easy to beat any religious arguement though..."You're mocking God""But God made me gay no?"etc...And normal... Pfft... That's boring... Go away Gloria... American Christians are so bloody annoying... And I'm *technically* a Christian myself...Let gays be gays and straights be straights... And the world will be a better place...

^Typical Manager, not knowing what the buttons do ;)Good video though, wish that Thirteen weekend had happened last year which involved backstage tour of Hex... BLERGH...

Too much science spoils the broth...THAT, and it'll probs all be announced next week anyways, so not much else to say

New trailer for Season 6 Part 2... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xkQkPo7KRU&feature=player_embedded

So dangerous that we've heard nothing all weekend?Could have been anything, and since we've had no news reports from anyone, then well, it's safe to say nothing of importance was lost...

That awkward moment when you realise someone is actually that stupid...Wonder how some people manage to exit their house in the morning or even get to the parks... Or do the turnstiles have some IQ sapping device that affects people?

And a celeb has never died before?I well and truly feel sorry for you with these opinions... Just because a bomb exploded in a warzone before or one guy shot a load of people happened before DOESN'T MEAN **** TO IT HAPPENING AGAIN!It's still a bad and upsetting event... And to really just put this down as non-events is absolute absurb and actually dis-respectful to those who have died innocently...

No-one here is doubting her talent as a musician...BUT, to say such a throwaway point on those who have died in bombs which are MUCH more tragic and cause so much more pain, in comparison to someone with a famous drug habit? Have some respect for those who died from bombs/shootings...

Click here for a much more harrowing and sad story that involves a crazy person and 80+ innocent youths...Kinda gives us all a bit more perspective don't it?EDIT - Oh wow... I cannot even BEGIN to tear this apart...Seriously, you can **** off with that opinion... That's has actually angered me...Effectively you're saying that Amy Winehouse was more important than the people who died to defend us against terrorism... And is bigger than innocent CHILDREN?Sod the hell off...

Possibly, but personally I don't hold sympathy for anyone (such as Kurt Cobain, who shot himself) who after a long history of drug abuse, refusing rehab and whatever else in comparison to 80 odd innocent people who got shot down... Thing is, why should she get more attention than the Norway and Somalia situations currently going on... Everytime someone famous dies it seems the world has to stop for them and it often overshadows other bigger news at the time... The fact that this seems bigger than other tradegies is more upsetting to me than her death...EDIT -

List of musicians who have died at the age of 27...Thing is, with the very public history of drug/drink stuff, something that people tried to help with on several ocassions, it's hard to be so sympathetic when it was her choice to start and continue on drugs...

No respect for the dead?Ok, so obviously the next time some murderous cokehead gets executed for killing a child, everyone who says it's his own fault should have the same treatment...Sorry but, regardless of her talent as a singer, she was addicted, and narrowly avoided death several times, so yeah, it kinda is her fault that she didn't kick the habit earlier...
