Love the way Blackpool has hype over being open until 12 midnight, and Disney has done a few 24 hour days despite being open 364/5 days a year Yes yes I know it's totally different but still, MIDNIGHT.

Chessington really has been neglected over the years and it's good to see Merlin slowly fixing it all back, even if it takes a few seasons.

Went on some dodgy dodgems (not sure if pun was intended) on an island in Vietnam that ran at a brutal speed. Oh god head on collisions almost dislocated my knees! On topic, whilst I liked Roger the Dodger's music I'm a big fan of the TukTuk music for sure!

God there was a rollerdisco every saturday night in the sports hall at the leisure centre I worked at. It was the most horrendous job ever dealing with all the kids that fell over every week and parents screaming 'STOP THE MUSIC HE'S BROKEN HIS ARM!' when they clearly haven't. Not missed.

I used to be a waist size 34 a year ago but during A Level study leave stress I stopped snacking and quickly dropped to a 30 or more of a 29. A recent weighing shows I'm 63kg. It's weird because I've always been bigger and now I'm not. I honestly eat the same stuff (50 Chicken McNugget challenge from McDonald's 5 days ago?!) but the weight has so far stayed off! Good luck on your diets, it seems to be going well!

I followed the 24 hour leap day unfold and it looked so hectic but so good. I can barely survive the 16 hours (8-12) let alone 24!

I know a few too many who've eaten there.

But The Curse, Asylum, Experiment 10, Passing, and Saw - Alive is already 5!

These rides are truly horrendous when you get the 'spinning on the spot at 110degrees for ages' cycle. But I'm a fan of when it actually moves and spins you. One of my favourites at my local fair every year!

Just to say a quick goodbye to TPM while I go on a gap year trip! Any forum issues please contact any of the other team as I will be away! Thanks everyone, be good! Tommy

^ And the lighting was always really bad so usually you would be in the dark even though there was a flash.

And the staff will not be able to explain it. You must know that the staff cannot answer these ridiculous questions such as 'why is this burger 3p more expensive that the one from Chessington, 200 miles away, in a similarly named outlet?'

Asking Rides and Attractions Hosts/Operators is not a way to actually find out any information. They most likely had no idea what to say so just agreed with you that it 'wasn't up to Merlin standard'.

;( But why?

Where have you seen hate? The general opinion here seems to be 'lap bars would've been nice but I'm sure this will be fine!'.

Yeah the restraints look like Gerstlauer OTSRs from that angle.

It's 1.0m no matter how many flaws and misprints you find over the internet.

Because 4D is so great. #X2 I'm joking I'm actually in love with X2, bring it on B&M.

Yeah it's gone. Not sure about the actual tin shed tunnel but the Dragon and rocks are gone.

Hmm Well I think the idea of raising a height restriction because of a target market is a bit silly though. It's like saying 'you must be 1.4m to go on any of the rides now including the carousel... Have a good day.'

It's 1.0m, Thorpe have written it on all their gate maps, website, and whatever else... What is so hard to understand?

So the latest iOS update from Apple has destroyed email on my phone and in doing so has deleted all my notes, contacts, safari bookmarks, calendar events and whatever else. Erm.

It looks just like Storm Surge did when it actually opened. Oh and still now.

Having to miss this one out I'm afraid! Ruining my streak of being at every meet of the year.
