Disabled Queuing Rules
Ride staff CANNOT touch disabled guests...A friend of mine got in trouble at Towers for doing it cos staff are not insured for it quite simply...

Chessington General Discussion
So the 2011 map is on the website now...http://www.chessington.com/downloads/chessington-2011-gatemap.pdfInteresting note on it that hasn't been picked up elsewhere yet, they've put designated smoking areas actually on the map now... Check by Rameses, Kobra, South Entrance, Buccy, Pizza Pasta and North Entrance... Interesting to see how that works compared to Alton's (read, it probs won't considering how much people moaned about it when you bothered to do it in Land of the Dragons)...

Disabled Queuing Rules
I was gonna make this point earlier, but the fact is that then you'll get the people who believe they are disabled (and they might well be in some cases), who will kick off because they're no longer entitled to it...It's such a problem really because the way in which modern day life is designed to accomadate the disabled side of life they cannot really just go "Right, you only have asthma, join the queue as normal, no exit pass for you" now can they?

Then I'd say it's fair, but with a 2 person maximum... But that should be only for those who cannot walk unaided...

The News
Very sad times for the Pacific and Japan...Last time I checked there were about 26 confirmed dead... Hopefully that number won't rise to Haiti or Indonesia proportions...Let's just be glad really Japan have the economic strength to generally be prepared for earthquakes... Not saying for ones of this scale, as they are impossible to be fully prepared for, but this could be a lot worse...

Nemesis Inferno
Old photo is OLLLLLLLLLD...You can tell by the coloured lava woodchips on the floor... I'm guessing that's a 2003 photo as well considering the site... Maybe 2004... Annoyingly, the page about Inferno is not in English... But here's the link anyways...http://coastersandmore.de/rides/nemesis/nemesis.shtml

Double post, but meh, thought people would like to see this video someone sent to me of the park from 1990... Lots of emotions from this... Makes me wish I could go back to my first visit...

No, you can go to Thorpe with as many people as you want, just only one person can come on each ride with you...

Swear that's only in the Thorpe/Industry/Mania Hub sections...Sure Marc has said it's to prevent noobs spamming up the place with the same topics...

Detonator Ride Photos?
Oh thank god that it's 5 again... Should be better value for all photopasses now if that's a company-wide scheme...Det photos should be amusing though... Wonder how that'll be done tbh because unlike Apocalypse the seating goes all the way around... Would be good if they were mid-drop similar to Ice Blast's launched photos...Where would they be gotten as well? In a cheap box like Jumbos/Runaway or in the Animal (or whatever it is now) shop next door?

Not jumping down your throat really here, but you cannot really say for definite on your own personal experience which trains were better if you haven't ridden the old ones...Honestly though I cannot remember the actual riding or noise-making of the old trains, but they certainly looked the part... And based on how Big Bad Wolf and the other versions swing a lot more the actual riding bit was a lot better...I'd defo say the older trains are actually very comfy, and quicker to dispatch due to no seat-belts...I do like the floorless trains but would certainly prefer them to be actually themed... Never gonna happen though...Defo prefer the old trains though... Nothing beats the old memory of seeing it soar over the pathway as actual bats...

About the only thing I like on that map is the way they've done Oblivion...However... Elsewhere it's a bit of a mess... I know it's not meant to be entirely accurate but...- Heide Park

It's the neck things... I'm at such a height where the thin-ness of them really smack into me and it's painful...As I said, I found Maverick rough due to the restraints...Those restraints don't corner well... Simple as... A ride's roughness can also be based on how the restraints handle... Even some B&M's are rough (usually stand-ups because they are appauling)... In fact, restraints play a massive part in the ride's comfort zone, why else would people say Vekoma's with the new system have improved drastically? Roughness is not limited to wheels and kinks and other stuff... - Alton Towers News
