Suppose I could make an appearance

Think some of these have already been mentioned if not by me but by others but thought I'd write this anyway: TOP POSTERS: A thread which is continuously updated each month which lists the top 10 posters of the month. This could be quantity, and also quality - it will also ultimately encourage more forum activity, although there should be rules and guidelines to this about 'spam' will not count. The person who is awarded first place could be given a certain badge, or in fact a userbar which they can keep for the month, and then when the new 'top poster' is announced for next month, the userbar is transferred to that person. So it would be temporarily rather than permanently. FORUM EVENTS: Stuff like Dara's quiz but also stuff like trying to solve codes/messages but looking for clues in each section/thread. This could also be with 'market your own ride' or something like the Apprentice There could be separate staff for this. DONATOR: I know I've brought this up before, and I know it had a mixed response because it could segregate people who think they are more important than others, so, a 'donator' doesn't make it seem as much as an exclusive club. Donator can be used to help hosting costs, and as a reward and to recognise their help they get rewarded with a coloured username for however many months they have donated for which will eventually expire unless renewed. FORUM SKIN: I know that the mainsite is being redesigned, however, not sure what is happening with the forum site, however, could there be the potential of a customisable background changer? I've seen it on other IP boards and it would be quite a nice feature to have I've also seen like a gradient changer as well, although that is only with VBulletin so I don't know if that could be integrated. CHAT/SHOUTBOX: They pretty much do the same purpose, is there a need for both? USER PROFILES: Again, I don't know if it can be done on IP Boards, but more developed user profiles where you can post 'statuses' which comes up as updates on the main index, maybe an option to upload own photos - such as the park and stuff. Also, have a field where you can actually enter your own favourite park rather than just the Merlin ones MENTIONS/QUOTE NOTIFICATIONS: Apparently mentions are in tact but I could be being stupid in them not working, can this be looked into? SOCIAL MEDIA TEAM: Aside from the admins, staff who specifically work on the Twitter/Facebook/Instagram side who can contribute updates to the site, as well as trying to promote us more, not that I am worried about the websites traffic as it is, or the lovely members we have now, but nothing wrong with a few more All I can think of for now

Yeah I had a feeling it wasn't down to the spinning and to do with something else. Cheers

Also Instagram photos with the option to embed them

Half a bottle of wine might have something to do with that

You were there! Ryan should stop flinging his spoon around

Sandwiches, lots of sandwiches.

Oh I just instinctively put a comma there for you

How far does that thing tilt?!

They aren't necessary though, otherwise why wouldn't B&M make it a compulsory thing for all hypers?

Mer I was going to post but you pretty much covered what I was going to say so I [2]'d it I feel like we can't go to Creams out of fear of seeing the splatters of ice cream all over the wall and looking really guilty...

According to the ride host it was because the ride would 'spin too much' and make you sick. I knew about the rule for Fury although not Rattlesnake, is it a restriction everywhere or just with the UK spinners? We moaned we didn't get wet and we certainly got our just desserts haha well I'm glad, another operator didn't do it so I think we got lucky with ours

[2]

What's the point of going on the water ride if you don't actually want to get wet, psshhh, call yourself a Valhalla fan

It would be nice if it was changed to be honest, the map doesn't need to be any more misleading with it's ride placing and all

Oh forgot to say, we had an amazing Rameses run, or it's either because the fountains aren't working to their full potential as they missed us completely, but the operator proceeded to close the window and the door and flung us into the wall of water, I have never been so wet... Insane in comparison to how I've seen it and heard about it in the past Fury was also on fairly decent operations for the most part where the trains weren't stacking, although they still at times had staff asking how people were in the queue holding up the line as well as employing the 'no four adults' in a car Rattlesnake also suffering to the same rule

The Chessie Meet was splendid and great to see new faces and all, thank god the day was quiet, and those people seeing the signs looking down their nose at the supposed '45 minute' Vampire queue, guess they don't know what a full queue is as whilst about 100 people left (approx) we enjoyed a short 10 minute wait Thankfully the weather held out and although Chessington does have, some, issues... It's such a lovely park to visit. The final part of the meet had an interesting turn of events also but I'll hold my tongue on that one Hopefully see most of you at the next meet

Disgusting

I hopefully should be around and they all sound like good fun! @Peaj maybe you should hand down your meet organiser title

The operations on vampire were insane today, train was on the lift hill just as we hit the brake run...

The worlds first underwater wooden roller coaster

'Okay'? I know you think SAW and Nemesis Inferno are the greatest rides in the world but come on...

I'm sure someone said on the plans it was going to be green, whether they actual bother with a repaint, I doubt it
