Kerfuffle

Could have easily

Thankfully I'm not at Charters School anymore!

Definitely not aiming at the likes of Thorpeparkfreak here, but why is it that some kids aged between 11-14 somehow HAVE to think their so hardcore? Last time I was at Thorpe and queueing for Colossus, there were four kids in front of me, assumedly 13 years old, who stopped off at the queue shop. While the two girls and one of the boys in the group simply get a 'Juicy Drop Pop' or whatever, the other boy, who from first glance looked like a total jackass, buys a can of RELENTLESS. Yes he was obviously buying that for that energy kick, but he had TONS of other drinks of the energetic like (eg. Coke) right in front of him! Was he REALLY that energy-desperate? Or was I true to my word about him being an attention-seeking jackass? ("Hey everyone! Look over here! *holds up can* I'M DRINKING RELENTLESS! I'm SO popular!") RANT OVER!

That's not the point. Nemesis Inferno has the theme of a volcano amongst a lush, tropical jungle. The crocodiles do an excellent job of simulating life around the jungle rivers, while also making that particular section of the ride pretty intimidating (Who would want their legs sabotaged by an alligator? ).

I'd build an Infinity Coaster (what The Smiler is) and name it 'X-Phych'

However that was

Did you just go through all of the signing up and account activation and everything...as well as the completely pointless use of Photoshop for your picture...just to post THAT???

Have you not heard Vampire's lifthill or Nemesis' roar lately?

Because he used

The crocodiles have always come with the ride tbh. I remember there being one just at the bottom of that drop before the helix into the final brake run

Well now we know something S&S and Merlin have in common... ...LAZINESS.

Very funny... But seriously. I've always found the SAW queuing experience rather dull and lifeless without the audio! It's funny how the constant sinister ambience and the occasional "Don't touch any switches! They could be in reach of something! *static*" can change everything! But I could be proven wrong about the speakers being broken, as last time I went, they were working fine in the morning (ERT ), but in the evening, they kept cutting out during an announcement...and from that point it was silent. Whether or not they've been fixed by now, who knows?

S&S went bankrupt recently I think? This is probably the reason why it's been extremely difficult to bring back Slammer previously...

Filthy

Sanitary

If I remember correctly, I think one (or more) of the speakers in the SAW queue may have broken again!

...Done!

It'll be in Africa, so... ...TRIBAL-THEMED COASTER

It's on the straight after the final corkscrew (where the onride photo is taken). Sorry the picture is bad quality, but as it turns out, that was also the quality of the video!

(sampled from Themeparkcapital's POV of the ride)

I see your point there, as last year, on the cleanest side of the billboard, Thorpe go and scrawl "War has EVOLVED!" all over it!

If Chessie ARE eventually to acquire a river rapids ride in the near future, chances are it'll just be a dead simple Congo River Rapids sort of layout, consisting of a wonky circle, rather than Rumba Rapids with it's gentle downhill decent in a snake form.

Fair point tbh. Why bother draft in wads of cash for a heavily themed river rapids ride at Chessington, while (say) Rumba Rapids at Thorpe Park is in DESPERATE need of additional themeing!

Then you obviously can't see that BOTH sides of the billboard has a pun relating to the ride experience! One side features an advertisement for headache relief tablets, with the slogan "Don't lose your head!", obviously regarding the billboard's role as a near miss. The other side has "Take a flight into Paradise HELL!", which is a pretty good nod to the fact that you've cleared the billboard...but this HELLISH ride still isn't over!
