The weeds do give it a good, abandoned feeling. It's like Tidal Wave, there's no point repainting the theming as it gives it a damaged look.

SAW - The Ride: Everybody was queueing for the back car for some reason and the attendant asked me to go to the front car and there was nobody queueing for it.Slammer: The ride had just been closed and nobody realised it had opened. The queue was packed after the ride ended!Samurai: It was in April during Cirque du Freak. It was really quiet.

Heh-heh! Adverts! I bet that ride is nowhere near as good as they make it look!

Er... I mean the tills or the paypoint or whatever it's called.

I have to admit I do have a soft spot for Depth Charge. It's a fun ride, and doesn't get you too wet. It would be sad to see it go.

No, I promise you, it was on 17th August, there were two women operating, one had glasses.

They'll probably have to have a temporary diversion to the Amity Cove entrance from the conveyabelts.

Probably just for security reasons, like if a bunch of chavs jumped over the fence and slid down the slides in their pants.

The water tower always has it's door open. It's been like that since it stopped working. Oh well, it makes it look more 'damaged'.

Er... What's wrong with that?

I also think that the outside queue gets a bit boring. I think they should add some TV screens, but make them rusty and covered in blood so that they don't ruin the atmosphere.

When I say all to yourself, I mean literally the only person on the ride.So far I've had:SlammerTidal WaveSAW - The RideSamuraiYou have to visit on a quiet day for this!

^Agreed.Slammer is easily my favourite flat ride at the park. Alongside Samurai and Rush.

Mr. Monkey's Banana Ride looks quite cute next to Nemesis Inferno and Detonator. It's nice to have some rides for kids.

What do you mean by 'whole area'?

Ah, thanks both of you!I've also noticed that SAW - The Ride is a lot louder than it used to be. It was almost silent last year.

I'm not sure if you'll know, but you know those CCTV images they show on the screens, are they live?

Surely it can't be TOO hard to fix the effects on Tidal Wave, the water spraying from the bathroom, the organ coming from the church, the water gushing from the tower and the fire exploding from the drum. Couldn't they just shove one of those fire machine thingies they have during Fright Nights in it?

The Fastrack queue was originally controlled at the top of the stairs, but now it's outside, I preferred it how it was before, as you had more room and you actually got to experience the queue instead of just walking through the whole thing, missing the great effects such as the shotguns.

Hey, if you go to Sunken Garden and stand on a bench, you can see the old harbour where the Thorpe Ferry stopped. It is intact with it's pirate flag still flying! Aw... I really miss the farm. It just been abandoned now, everything is still there, Pot Bellie's, the old barns, even the playground is intact. I wonder what will happen to this area in future? You can see it on Streetview, just go to Coldharbour Lane, Thorpe. You can also get to it by Monk's Walk.

Damn, why do those queueline videos have to be so boring? It's the same thing over and over again, cheesy chat up lines, then MasterCard, then Burger King, then Spots V Stripes. Then it just starts again. Keeps you entertained for the first thirty seconds of the queue!

The volume of the shot guns has definately been turned down. Last year you could hear it from the plaza, and it made people jump out of their skin. It's still loud, but doesn't make you jump if you expect it.

Will X:\No Way Out be closed for Fright Nights? Because of the Storm Surge construction.
