OMG! God dammit... How will I cope today?

I felt a great disturbance in the Coaster community, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

I know, poor grammar makes me sick too...

Pointy Teeth!Opening on the 16th, they need to get the theming together quick then

If this was Coasterforce, she would've already been asked out by at least 5 males and 2 females...Fortunately on here, 90% of people are gay... And of the 10% of straight people 90% are in relationships

CONVERSE! Bloody hell I couldn't for the life of me remember what they're called...Yeah, they don't mix well with water...

Tbh, this looks funky... Nice new restaurant, the Disko looks massive, and it provides some added colour in an otherwise dingy part of the world...Amanda's still a bitch though ¬¬

Buy trainers? Just nice basic comfortable ones?

Jesus, I can barely remember the times when I went straight to Loggers...Loggers being the biggest ride at the park

THIS...Physically throwing up = Call in Sick...

Duel opened at 1pm?I'm sure as hell I went on it at like, 12 :)Yeah there were a few odd breakdowns here and there, Skyride, Rita, Rapids and Oblivion all had issues that I saw, but all opened again (Blivvy was down for about 10 minutes)...Also, no Hex? Poor show old chap... If there's time for Charlie there's time for Hex...

Looks like Hayley Williams...

Went on it again today with my Mum who had never been on it before...She really enjoyed it, and I realised the high amount of airtime the actual drop component brings... It is actually a rather fun ride really, and it's certainly grown on me and bedded in more than Rita ever will...Plus the launch

Well, many on here were thinking that the actors were very hot stuff this year...

I'm not going to go through this all again...At least you get media coverage... Drogba so much as sneezes and you get a Sky Sports News report on it...

Thirteen does do what it's designed to do... And be a good enough coaster for the families to replace Corkscrew... With a very likely higher throughput to boot...I enjoy it to be fair, as I wasn't taken in by all the hype and never expected anymore than a family coaster, and also, the drop is actually very well done even if I would feel the ride would have been better served with said drop nearer the beginning to set off the ride rather than the middle...Plus, it has the best launch in the park <3

And THIS has a storyline?Aside from the probable obvious "Stuff's going down, you need to escape blah, blah, blah" (Not a Thorpe based dig, but worldwide)...

It's still outrageously CUTE

If people think Tidal Wave's water is dirty they should go to Flamingoland and do their spillwater...THAT IS DIRTY!

Absolutely appaulling excuse, clone yourself!Ok, I've now chosen my side of not going around with TPM for the day, however will probably appear at the 10:30 meet to see and hug people!As an aside, who here will be going from Clapham and getting on the 8:55? Hopefully a few cos I don't want to be alone

Is what I do when looking at trips abroad...Then research deeper into the parks...I would happily go to places that everyone hates (Movie Park in Germany, Six Flags America)... Just because I don't care for public opinion... Even a park that brings in millions a year can be crap, so having such stats thrown at me makes absolutely no difference... Never take things at face value... Never... If all enthusiasts had that view parks like Knoebels, Kennywood, Oakwood and Parc Asterix would probably be forever overlooked by their bigger rivals... And that's just not a good thing...Don't need to compare parks to see awful operations these days... It's generally obvious how good or bad it is...My point in the comparison of coasters that it's only fair game if the types are the same... Comparing rides like Nemesis and Colossus is quite frankly stupid, but Rita and Stealth is fair game...

Well comparing parks half the time is like people comparing rides like Saw and Oblivion... Pointless...No-one should rely on other's opinions about going to a park... It's INCREDIBLY hard to compare parks of certain calibre to others...Indeed, there's very few parks that can have direct comparisons, and that's generally the Magic Kingdom's of the world... I often seen very little point in comparing parks to each other, because each park is different and has it's own fundamental system of operation, there's so many variable factors to take in it's often impossible to actually balance them all together...May as well compare Dreamland with Europa Park...

Why does everything HAVE to be a competition?Does it really matter if a park is deemed by some to not be as good as another, I'd rather go to a park with a blank slate (like I'm doing for Germany thankfully) and not continuously comparing it to another park in a different country with a completely different method and style of running things...

More importantly, why is Flake Lorenz from Rammstein advertising BK?

Half term? More like Easter holidays...[/pendatic]
