^Pah, you'd be suprised how easy confidence can be affected by one wrong decision...Besides, our national 'team' is crap, why is everyone so bloody suprised?

You absolute philistine...

^ <3Yeah Drayton isn't the nicest park to visit, but I've never had a bad day there due to the company...Shockwave and G-Force are awful, awful rides...

Phew, miss Keith by a day

Mondial Supernova, originally where Submission stands now and removed in 2004 I think due to Rita/unpopularity...It was a good solid support ride imo, not too intense but not too boring... I miss it (like I miss Dynamo )

Don't rush it...Simple as really... Sex/Relationships is something you shouldn't really rush into because you can simply regret it... Don't worry about life... And if you're off to uni think of it as a fresh start for you... Don't bother trying to get stuff done before uni, rather just get prepared for it so you'll feel more comfortable there in the new environment... One simple new thing can easily change your life...

Didn't they (when it was first brought in last year) due to having an unused Fast-track queue system they instead plonked the single rider queue in there instead?Either that, or I must have been high when I was there and hence using my imagination, which is usually necessary when at Thorpe...

No, all it needs is a good staff member to be properly direct to the single rider queue and it can easily be done...Of course though, as it doesn't have a dedicated queue, and as long as they're still doing Fast-track, it'll never come back...

^Because school trips don't start until about now perhaps is the reason?

^Everywhere gets school trips...Chessie doesn't get them too bad I guess... First and last hours of the day are always empty though...

Who uses that as a logical arguement for football?"Oh yes well we beat them Jerries twice in the wars so football should be second nature to our boys what-ho!"

Hah, love the way you had to edit this...

^Good for you...I miss the rocks... They really finished off the look of the area... Really hope one day they bring some new ones in, they can even keep the gold mining thing and make it indoors...It's another ride/area to put on the 'to-do' list...

^Source?Tbh I've always liked the idea of Rammie with a soundtrack, but the thing's so bloody loud you probably won't hear anything

Hehe, and you said that 100 points more was the only person who ever beat you?You have a lot to learn...

Ohhhhhhhh ZAMPERLA......

My new job loves life <3Do less than Chessie + Paid more = Happy Benin

This is the sort of things our parks need to sort out... Really simple effects being fixed as soon as possible, not when it suits them...

Well if that's your mind-set when you entered the park, of course you weren't going to enjoy it...We saw the busyness both days but once over the initial 'Oh we weren't expecting that', we just went in and took in the park...It was my first time to the park, so don't try and say about trying to get all the rides done, cos well obviously that was one of my first things on the list of things to do, but I didn't want to particularly rush around just solely doing rides in a park I don't know when I'll be back at...Name me a park suitable for massive crowds in that park's own view... Any park can be horrendously bad when busy, but I didn't mind myself being down about busyness over both days at all...

^Shame that smaller parks who are independently owned are making full great quality rides at the same time...Last year, Fluch von Novgorod, a partially indoor/outdoor coaster at a tiny park in Germany, unfinished and looked amazing, looks even better now they've finished it... Looks so much better than Saw...What Merlin need to do to show that they are willing to take risks if they want to beat Disney, which is their aim... And the only way they can beat Disney is by creating Disney-quality attractions... Or at least creating attractions that have a lasting quality and showing care and attention to everything about the park...Hell as was mentioned in Mark's Europa Park Report, we shouldn't be praising the parks for finally getting effects fixed, instead we should be in a situation where we should be going 'oh such and such effect was broken rather than working'...Sigh, shame Tussauds got exceptionally lazy... 10 years ago we got Hex and Tidal Wave, and since then nothing has come near beating them for the theme and look... Difference a decade makes...

Maybe they're Spanish or supporting Spain?

^It's all true though...75% of the smaller parks in Europe are at least 10 times better than all of ours put together for the overall package...I'm only really excited about Chessie cos it seems that a lot of the management are actually really into the park and ways to improve it... Can only hope they decide to visit places like Plopsaland (for Anubis and Supersplash), Asterix (for the Madhouse), and Efteling (for the Duelling Woodies)...

Mark you neek!

Not too bad in my opinion, it was rather busy but we just dossed around quite happily, not being too fussed with high ride counts helps a lot as I would rather take in the atmosphere... It opened when DLP was being designed and built with a rivalry frame of mind... Indeed there have been some points in it's history that it may have closed due to Disney... Saying that they are not rivals is a very silly thing... It was shut...
