Shockwave's trains (or at least, the red train, blue was indoors) look absolutely awesome... Just so shiny and pretty...Seeing queues being repainted as well is a good thing too... I do like Drayton as a park, unlike many other enthusiasts, ok the coasters are crap but it has a nice atmosphere and some decent theming strewn around...Plus Maelstrom <3<3

Removal of sponsorship my arse...Sigh, hearing the music just depresses me... As from that video very little actually seems to have changed...I hope I'm wrong, but putting the original music back doesn't make it good again...

Hell yeah...Though Tomb Plaza is rather random imo... Maybe I'm just used to meeting people at Market Square lockers

I fins it amusing that we say Truckers can get 200pph, when me and Mark9 know it can't...

The same Thirteen which brought in the punters regardless of how enthusiasts felt it was marketed?

Just as long as it's an all day meet and the group stick together Mikey it'll be awesome sauce...Obviously a lunch-break as well for everyone to split up and do whatever... Since it's way too difficult to acclimatise for everyone's food tastes...

Double post... MEHI have pretty pictures to show you all!

I'm still skeptical (naturally)...I just don't think it can ever go back towards the original... It's been screwed over, it cannot simply get over that...Of course, I will probably regress age mentally since the Thomas the Tank Engine theme did that to me at Drayton...

Erm... Wouldn't be so sure on that one Mikey :PWinx Club, Huntix and Monster Allergy are all animated shows that have attractions based on them in the park... But I think that's like, 4/5 of the total lot, and they may not be TOO heavily linked with them... Hard to tell...But when the owners of the park produce said shows, it'll actually be done with some care and attention...

It's the start of Easter hols is why...There's obviously interest, it needs to be organised well though...

NOM park is NOM...

Seastorm's... Sigh...

10:30 - 11:00 is usually a good time frame to have for meets...Plus, the 11th is a Monday... So yeah, more trains Ellie...

Simple thing to do if people don't want to ride something...Wait and be a bag-bitch...Organising trips is a breeze... Just make sure it's an all-day thing rather than from 1... I HATE that premise...

Make it the 11th and I'm there...Especially as that's the Vampire celebration opening day...

Exactly, it was treated as just a "bow to people's wishes" thing and hence paid the price...As I said, more than up for organising one... Would be epic...

Sheepie you can count me in...The reason why last year's was fail was simply due to the fact it was posted a week beforehand... Considering many were not expecting it, had work or were just busy or not a reason to not bother with the park as plenty on here enjoy it...I'll happily help plan one for Chessington...

Ahhhhh, nightmare fuel for the weekend...Cheers Ellie...

How to Run a Theme Park 1011 - Get Customer Service Award 2 - Add Fast-track to rides that can't handle it3 - ???4 PROFIT!Nice advert though...

Eh?No it's not, those are listed PACKAGES...Stll bollocks though...

Urgh...Where the hell has Seastorm come from?Honestly, this is one ****ing stupid idea from Chessie... Who once actually had the best Fast-track deal, and have gone and thrown in their lot and will probably cause a lot of aggro in queues this year...Disgraceful... Again with the bloody business excuse bollocks...If they were any decent they would find a way to make money AND prevent guests have unenjoyable days... Fast-track on Toytown rides is as much as good business as it is to throw your entire bank account amount off the top of a building...

Hasn't it changed on the app or whatever? Hence why people were bringing it up...

Yes, you told me on Vampire on Halloween ;)And Chessie does deserve it, just hope this will kinda make Merlin pull their fingers out and invest... GP love it as evidented by these awards, so guess what, they want MOAR! (actually, I want more, of certain things, so yeah)

Damn, I forgot to vote to say how awful you were at Customer Service...Always this year
