    Turn that upside-down and it looks like the batwing element. Yay.
  3. Well the first saturday of half term is always really quiet for some reason. I think people will just miss out on how great the lights look in the dark etc.

    Well I know CPR, defibrillator use and basic first aid from my National Pool Lifeguard Qualification so I feel pretty prepared in an emergency. Thanks for the info, I'll do it if I'm offered but we'll see if they actually want me to do it though! Last I heard they were looking for me to sign a document saying I won't leave for X months after being given the training. Going to uni in september and not telling them awkness.

    My work want me to do the course so I can cover Duty Manger shifts but I'm so not keen.

    Oblivion

    Being such a young thing I have only remembered Oblivion as being grey. It looks so much more menacing in black!

    Scrambled Eggs. I must've been crazy this morning Someone else have a turn!
  9. I can understand wanting to get drunk every now and then but some people I know practically live off the stuff. The only aspect of Uni I'm not looking forward to is Fresher's week where you're pretty much drunk the whole time and 'need' to be in order to make friends.

    Someone else probably edited it again. Trolossus. It's widely rumoured to be true though.
  12. What's on my mind?

    Been taken apart for maintenance over the closed season, as has Submission.

    Freefalling downwards whilst staring up at the sky, the track speeds away from beneath you and as you enter the hole darkness closes in all around you. Mmm, The back row of Oblivion backwards sounds good. I don't know I just have this slow motion vision of it being great although I can't deny that the 'don't look down' theme wouldn't fit anymore. But you say that as if turning the back two rows on The Swarm backwards makes any sense either? I'm keen for backwards B&M; don't knock it until you try it.
  16. Skeptical about whether it was the right decision by the park, but I am really excited to ride it backwards.

    Alright, I take that Stealth was a short notice name. I was just using it as an example of how people get over these names in time. And the context point is very true. In short, I think it's a great name in context, but weird out of context. At least with the logo it makes a bit of sense!

    A quick google search defines Stealth as this: I fail to see how the ride experience matches this definition. Either way The Smiler name matches the ride and theme a lot better than 'Stealth' does.

    I'm pleasantly surprised! I haven't seen it with my own eyes so I'll take your word. Thinking about it, Inferno works well without a batcher.

    No need to call people 'delusional' for having a different taste to you. I personally think it fits, and it makes a nice change from THE 'DESTROYER' sort of name that every other ride has. Plus if it gets people talking about how stupid the name is then it works as advertising for itself! Stealth isn't exactly a great name because the ride isn't stealthy at all. It's the opposite. But do you hear people in the queue line laughing at the name? No, usually they're talking about how scared they are.

    *Shudder* Take a trip to a Six Flags park and say that again. Basically as clever as you think people are, they cannot organise themselves behind the gates properly. Think Vampire.

    The Smiler is looking good, however many fake names they put out. It might be as good as Dylan, Calypso, maybe Stealth. Err.

    I had a dream that whilst everyone was discussing Swarm being turned backwards THORPE PARK actually turned the both Colossus trains backwards in a surprise twist. That is to say, all of this backwards stuff is eating at my brain.
