That really does look superb. Is the driver going to be able to interact with the guests, as the cab looks completely closed off? If not then will there be a host on board or will it be narrated by tape/video?

Woop! I rode Air on its opening day. I rode Rameses Revenge on its opening day. I rode Megaphobia on its opening day.

Quality Street, traditional is best. Elf or Santa Claus the Movie?

3? I too am yet to guess one correctly!

Yes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, some interesting results there. Good to see OzIris recognised as the marvel that it is, and glad Nemesis rightly held on to its number one slot despite the challenge from our park. Thanks Sidders for doing this and thanks voters for the love! Although I feel like a bit of a charlatan walking away with the 'Most Knowledgeable Member' title, I may have to donate that to someone a little less clueless than I am!

Double post shocker. So TowersStreet have rubbished the secret element being as 'revealed' by TowersTimes to be a spinning trick track. I don't know what to make of it as I don't know who knows what and who, but taking from past news reliability I lean towards trusting the TS team more than TT. Also, as shown by with the competition, TS clearly have a good relationship with AT and I'd say are more likely to be given correct info. On top of that the trick as described has never sounded like anything that would ride particularly well to me. If it is true that there is no trick track then what is SW7's world first/beating thing? I've always thought the inversion record (without a cheating trick) could be likely, or a true vertical launch (which would sit so will with the worlds first vertical drop next door) would be a solid meaningful record. Or maybe there is no record if the trick was planned but has now been cancelled, but I find that highly unlikely as the trick as described would be incredibly simple to achieve really. As this revolves around the inside section I guess we won't really know for certain until opening day no matter how many helicopters or people in trees take photos. I quite like the not knowing, but I also want to know.

The ones through the trees? They're from TST and can be seen here, if you've seen something else get sharing!

Turkey, Pate or cheese?

I have been thrown out of Disney, for wearing a fcuk t shirt. Prudes. I used to go to the same gym as jade and stacey and jacuzzied with them (separately). I was never a known dj in the mixmag top 100. I was a club dj using my real name but under appreciated and no one would know me. So no one wins! I say back to cookie as everyone playing has had a go, unless anyone who hasn't been wants to jump in...
-
Hmm, I thought it was obvious, but then I know me quite well! Forgot to say, I'm not giving the answer until Cookie tells us what world record he holds!

Non coloured, classier. Mince Pies or Sausage Rolls?
-
Oooh, thanks! Although most of my 'no, really?' type stories are from work which I can't put here. Oh wells. 1- I have been thrown out of Disney Hollywood Studios, Florida. 2- Under a pseudonym in the mid to late 90's I was a moderately well known DJ and made it into the mixmag top 100 DJs in 1999. 3- I have shared a jacuzzi with Jade Goodie and Stacy Solloman.

West Germany? Guessing those are well out of date numbers then, more recent stats show things haven't improved much though. Annual firearm deaths per 100,000: UK 0.22, USA 9.00

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-20730717 WTF is wrong with these people? I also don't understand how the US pro gun lobby maintains such strong support, of course people will kill people whether or not they have guns, but they'd have trouble taking out so many so quickly and easily without them. Deadly US mass shootings 1984: James Oliver Huberty shoots dead 21 people at a McDonald's in California 1986: Postal worker Pat Sherrill kills 14 people at post office in Oklahoma 1991: George Hennard kills 23 people at a cafeteria in Texas 1999: Two students at Columbine high school kill 13 and injure 20, before killing themselves 2007: A student kills 32 and injures dozens more at Virginia Tech university 2009: 13 people are killed in a mass shooting at Ford Hood military base in Texas

You are probably right, it seems to struggle at the best of times. It could really do with being completely replaced with new route that fits the zoo area better, but that would be incredibly unlikely. Good to see you back by the way!
-
That second inversion looks incredibly tight for how soon after and how much lower than the first drop it is. It should carry a huge amount of speed into it and be very very intense. Nice.

How long do Giraffes live, I wonder if they'll get back any of theirs that used to live in the Rattlesnake pit? At Colchester zoo you can hand feed the giraffes, hope that's something they do at Chessington too, great being so close to them.
