Churchill sponsored football shirt? With Le Coq Sportif on it as well? Well done Mark...That photo was the only decent thing going for it for a while since it was always a test of how silly a pose you could do...

Sure Colossus has had that for like... years now...Easy way to solve the problem, don't have any piercings...

Alternatively the only line you ever need to know in Germany is... "Ein bier bitte"...

Any language barrier can be broken through numerous pointing and miming... Knowing some basic German would help though, but they mostly understand English... Thankfully...Though the entrance area looks so different now to two years ago...

We talking about the lights or the ride?

Tbh it wouldn't be too hard for them to remove all the things Saw related because there isn't exactly a lot there related to Saw directly...2 puppets, change the videos and annoucements... That's all they need to do really...

Hydraulic systems from Intamin are just so reliable aren't they?Probs issues with the dropping mechanism then...

^Honestly I cannot remember... My memory is like a bloody sieve at times...Quick look at Theme UK says that the original entrance was last used in 2002... But maybe someone with a decent memory can help...

Think it was changed to allow fastrack to come in... Or Health n Safety... Bound to be sommat like that... Think it happened in 2002 at least...Do wish they'd use the doors again though... But the staircase for fastrack would pose several problems for it... If they could work out a way to re-route the stairway so they could use the doors for both normal and fastrack queues whilst simply connecting the current queue to it then they should... But I also think they should add a facade to the building as well...

^Did you include a time machine in your plans? Since you do seem to start this whole process last year...

Thought you would've realised by now that people at theme parks seem to lack basic intelligence sometimes...Sad... But true...

Not the first time Falls has had a problem... Think it was the start of 08 that it wasn't having a good time...On a side note... Bring back the rocks! etc...

Guests?I called them the silly people who get on my nerves Or maybe that was the staff... My memory is very bad...

I really can't see it coming back...Especially when all the other parks that had it (Busch Gardens and Phantasialand) seem to have got rid of it as well...Barely remember it tbh, but surely anything is better than Time Voyagers... That was boring as hell...

Isn't Justin a boy's name? Those silly Americans...In regards to Mark's post, people once again prove that they are idiots... All Sci-Fi series have the ladies in there, why can't Dr. Who? Bloody Daily Fail readers...

Good Points4 really good rides (Inferno, Slammer, Rush, Det)Themed musicAmity's themingBad PointsA lack of effort with theming since Samurai came inCan feel very enclosed if busyNowhere really to go and get away from busynessPoorly laid out Pizza HutFast-track on practically every single rideLack of atmosphere in some areas (particularly by the Arena)ReliabilityYeah... Lots of poor points for Thorpe...

2008 Halloween Thorpe hit capacity and Chessie got it's scummy guests who got turned away...And Vampire was broken that morning...But capacity? What the hell IS Chessie's capacity? Sounds like 18k or something really daft...Excellent news all the same...

The lift still sits there, since you go through it in order to board the ride...Having never done it with the lift, I only go by what my parents say, and that was that the lift was extremely uncomfortable and warm, and when you consider how bad NWO can get in the hot summer days, I wouldn't be suprised if a couple of people had fainted or whatever...I vaguely remember the spinning tunnel in the queue though... Tbh the entire ride smells of the old owners of Thorpe, ambitious, but without the money it was a complete and utter failure... It really needs Merlin to take a long look at it and totally revamp the building/coaster/etc...Either that or get rid... Not sure which option I would prefer...

*Loves living in Zone 4 of the London travel zones*Honestly though, the trains are all expensive these days... And finding an alternative route from Swansea is... Difficult to say the least...

^Hyper, Giga, same principle... It's about the height... But from personal experience Intamin OSTRs do not agree with corners or the transitions Intamin have...Hence... It could well be intense as hell, but it won't be fun... Much like Maverick got ruined by the OTSRs...

Comparing the 'bouncing track' at the end of Winja's to Thirteen's drop is not great...Winja's bit is not a freefall, since the track is hinged (as the diagram shows)...And the spinning is freely controlled just like any MS spinner, although it gets stopped whilst doing the trick track sections of both Fear and Fury... But it continues spinning after...Thirteen does have the world's first freefall drop actually as part of a rollercoaster... Some Gerstlauers have the station track descend to go into the maintenance area (Mystery Mine is the first example I can think of), but none doing what Thirteen does...

The large amounts of snow didn't help either...At least they got it open on time, may have been unfinished, but there would've been a lot more backlash than if they weren't gonna open it...

Need to tell us which direction you're coming from...Since we can only guess atm and give rather generic advice rather than "Leave your house, go to ..., get the train to ..., change and get the train from ... to ..." etc...

Intimidator 305 is a hyper coaster with shoulder restraints...It also has the now typical snappy Intamin transistions...It looks like it'll do what Maverick did an attempt to sever your neck on some of those turns...Hence, the B&M will win out... As I really liked Diamondback and the different seating arrangement...

^In Japan there was, but that changed to Blue...I'm currently the proud owner of 9 badges of Soul Silver... And hopefully 10 in a minute...
