BING!God that was hilarious...

What tosh, 15 minute queues at the end of the day... Hell Fury was only by the transfer track in the middle of the day...There is a new jeep stood by Trail of the Kings now...Gorillas were shut as were Creature Features (meaning no big meerkat enclosure )Tomb Blaster has a rubbish new loading procedure...Lorikeets weren't very friendly today...Griffins Galleon was dead...Keith is a rubbish platformer ;)Bloody boiling today...I adore AP refillable drinks...Ride CountVampire - 2Bubbles - 1Buccy - 1Fury - 1Rattlesnake - 1Runaway - 1Tomb - 1Lorikeets - 1Kobra - 1Sea Dragons - 1Spike and the Missing Griffin - 1

This was happening again today, no row allocation until the train was parked up in the station...Blatently something has happened...

Have you SEEN some of the corners on Mystery Mine?It's like they were made with a set-square...Some of Gerstlauers stuff is a bit crazy...

Funny the way things work...And shows the difference between properly paid for studio recordings in comparison to a cheap quick one...

The new fountains at the bottom of the drop are button activated along the fence opposite Peeking...Though I have no idea if they are free or you have to pay since I haven't actually gone right up to them...

Erm, it probably would since those trains are bloody heavy...Think of it this way, you throw something with a bit of force and it lands at a certain point, if you were to throw it again with more force it would land further away...Adding an extra row is NOT a small allowance for a coaster though... All the original calculations would have to be changed in order to fit the new weight/force/etc values that would be needed and therefore results would change and so on...

Why our good old friend Health and Safety of course...And because guests are too stupid sometimes...

Chessington in effects not working shocker......

Because that's what B&M said so...It's not the only one with 7 rows, 2 other Inverts have the same situation... Why? Maybe because of the layout... But they would've made the calculations and what-not during the design and decided upon why all the way then...

I may just be at Chessie on the 19th for new safari area times...So bound to bump into each other at some point...

Lol, I sense a rather angry reply headed your way Seb since the guy who made the video is on here Not that you probably care of course...

Meh, there are still tickets available...But seeing the support acts... Haven't heard of 2 of them and Lily Allen WHY?

Toytown... Mexicana...One only needs a epic spruce-up though... The other needs to be erased from memory like Beanoland was...

I wanna go on the new Friday date dammit... Mainly surrounding parent spite since they're in California/Vegas without me then...

Dunno if he does tbh...He got quite a few plaudits from TLs when at Chessie though...

Nah, it's all about getting the entire Bubbleworks inside queue doing a mexican wave...

Yep, that's Michael... Old Area 1 and 2 person at Chessie...He's having fun working at Thorpe this year... Spoke to him t'other day in fact... I need to see him working there sometime soon just to be reminded of the good days of Chessie

Was he telling everyone to scream?And you need to be a bit more specific, since there's at least 2 Michaels that work in that area that I know and have worked with... So more details!

^Well yeah, you are kinda indoors so it would be dark...

Ah the old Runaway queue LOVED IT...James you basically went up some stairs (which are still there) where you now turn left behind the children's zoo, and walked along a balcony that spread over two buildings I think... Then you went back around and into the current queue...God I miss stuff like that...

There is/was a small storing area behind Vampire where a Skyway train and a couple of Bubbleworks boats sat...

Main obvious area is the pathway going into the Medical Centre where you can kinda still see the tracks...Of course the old train station got demolished in 2008...Not sure about the Mystic East area though cos I've never walked down the staff pathway there...

And listen to what I and others are saying back...Basically you're going on and on that Alton gets big queues, well duh, it's a popular tourist destination, just like Thorpe is...I'm really bored of this tbh... You've basically saying that because of queues you're put off going to the best theme park in the UK...
