Dreams
I dreamt I was giving a presentation to the Chessie management about my personal plans for the future with a PowerPoint slide-show and the works...That was awesome...

It would if Halloween wasn't on the Monday... Only seems to happen when Halloween is on Friday or weekends...

TPM awardssss
Surely Mr. Foot would win that award?

Stealth
Judging by my past experiences... Yes it does seem true... Especially when you have stupid merge people allowing about 5 normal queue people every 10 minutes...Sigh...

Port Aventura
^Quite simply, hit up Baco or Khan first... Baco is right at the front of the park whilst Khan is at the back, so it's entirely your decision there...Aside from that, there's not a lot else to suggest aside from the usual things... Dunno if they do Fast-track or similar personally, so might be worth investigating... I haven't been for 7 odd years so things could be completely different...I would also suggest you don't miss Templo del Fuego... Apparently it's epic; also be prepared for Stampida to be rough, not get a choice in seating/standing on Hurakan Condor, and for El Diablo to be boring...Take it quite a few of the shows as well, pretty decent...

Giant box on wheels then?

Colossus
The longer versions of the Maverick trains are essentially the accelerator trains...And even then, they also suffer from neck bashing issues for me... It's what made Maverick a less than perfect coaster for me...Intamin need to do SOMETHING about their restraint design in general... And I really cannot see Colossus getting new trains anytime soon...

Opening Times
September openings are random considering how dead the park is at that time... Hence why they've never bothered...Hmmmmmm...

That documentary <3Wardley's Suit... Haunted House breaking down on opening, Bubbles not being ready...Some things never change...

Colossus
I may as well throw my two cents into this as well...Colossus has aged horribly in addition to it's terrible trains with lack of leg-room, making it stupidly rough and quite often gives me a headache after I've ridden it...Also I've had incredibly horrid experiences in the queue-line due to it's poor throughput, let alone the state the ride is in (Medusa Pit and the Lift-Hill)...Colossus 90% of the time just doesn't have a queue that I would be willing to queue for to feel ill afterwards quite frankly for the reasons above...

The Parks Are Closed....
Please tell me I'm not the ONLY one on here who finds this post even the slightest bit ironic?Onto the actual topic, I spend my time doing work and life and stuff like that... When you think about it the time isn't THAT long really... We're already in the last few weeks of closed season, I think I can survive without having to go anywhere near a park for that duration...

I remember when life was simple and life was fun with now worries...How times change...

The Parks Are Closed....
^That's excessively sad...I'm sorry, but I couldn't think of anything worse in the middle of the closed season by going to a closed park for no reason just to sit there and look at it... Waste of petrol, waste of time, waste of life...

I managed to juggle working at Chessie throughout my entire two years of College and still got Triple Distinction...Now Chris does make a valid point that not everyone can get help from parents, I am lucky in that I can (I have enough chicken and fish to last several weeks from CostCo) get help from them, but if I couldn't, then my years at Chessie would be 10x more useful than they were...It's all down to personal choice and life... But I'm certainly one to support any 15 year old actively looking for a job... Minimum wage at that age is fab (even though Chessie does not give out minimum wage, near enough 6 quid an hour last time I checked)...Again, if you can get the balance right, go straight for it... If need be hours at Chessie are easy to alter if you make friends with your TL
