Vampire
I know this, hence why I said that it wouldn't happen... Though I was more about the queue entrance and general theming more than anything...Though apparently one car is still in use somewhere at some undisclosed park...

Vampire
Can Vampire not be changed back to it's original awesome state? (I know not these days, just saying that a change like that would be good)

^No... Cos Peeking was technically new to Chessie when that was put in...

Chessie's first new ride that isn't crap since 2004... That's the angle

So therefore Mystery Mine is a prototype, as is Fluch von Novgorod, and Speed, and Rage, and Vild-Snivet... They're all different to any other Eurofighter out there... (2 lifts, launch and lift, layout, layout, layout)...A 'true' prototype is the first thing of it... Naturally with all things parts are improved in many different ways, but seriously... Nothing at Thorpe can be truly considered a prototype ride...

^All rides are complicated mechanically though... Saw is a prototype now? Because of the extra 2 degrees on the drop I assume?

Sorry, must have missed Alton having the Vertical Drop and Flying coaster prototypes whilst Thorpe have had...................... On the topic, meh, as I've said, marketing is not aimed at enthusiasts... Stop paying attention to it... Every park in the world does this... America is the worst for it cos it's all "Tallest in North Carolina, Fastest in New Jersey, Tallest Loop in North California, etc"...But yes, records a good ride does not make... Hence why our European counterparts will always be better than us...

The Blue Barnacle (Previously Black Buccaneer)
I'd like to know the name of the older bloke who I've seen a lot of on Buccaneer and more recently Vampire...He's epic...

Hello arguement, please come back when you make sense please...

Expedition Everest
If we still had Tussauds of the 80s/90s, this would be possible...But of course, money in our parks these days is unfortunately left out in some cases...If I ever do a article about Civil Engineering, I'm so talking about this btw... 3 separate support structures that intertwine and cannot touch each other due to the numerous stresses and strains... Would certainly be interesting to hit up in depth...

Alton Towers News
I honestly have given up all hope with Towers and it's PR...There's nothing wrong at all with doing the odd thing every so often once or twice a year (in the same way Thorpe have had their odd PR stunts), but nearly every 2 weeks Towers has a completely new PR thing is some paper about some crap they've decided to do...The only paper this would work in is the Daily Mail anyways, and they put it in the Sun... Shows how intelligent they are...

Fright Nights
I think the one thing is no masks...I've seen many an excellent costume going round at Thorpe during Fright Nights from a particular group, and they've had no trouble with someone dressed as a zombie with fingertips coming out of his forehead...

The Blue Barnacle (Previously Black Buccaneer)
I can understand why we shouldn't use names in regards to poor feedback and the like...But when stating that such and such staff member is really good? Why can't we be positive about anyone? Surely if the management read the forum and see such feedback it'll be a good thing no?

Vampire
<3Remember kicking one away at dispatch once... Seeing the shadow scared the crap out of me at first, then against all my normal emotions kicked it away... I blame the other staff there for that :blink:Not only Vampire has epic amounts of cobwebs, Bubbles is exactly the same...

Legoland
So I assume Gold APs still get the discount then? Or at least they should considering they're following last years rules for the London attractions...

^Minimum post count of 10?Then mods ensure that these 10 posts are actually worthwhile and not pointless spamming... Giving them time to sort the new member out should they be useless and contributing nothing...

Are you sure you went on Dragon? Your description of it is very wrong...
