Duh? 'cos he said his problems sometimes occur whilst on Colossus. Unless you can provide a filter that immediately creates an alternative thread, live with it.

Went on Saturday; still the same items closed, no problems caused by fast tracking. It has that "run down" appearance and with plans put on hold some areas are just fenced off. Megaphobia seemed fairly slow in the morning but later that evening, she was really flying, though it was raining. Fireworks mixed with lasers, water fountains and projections were impressive.

Even with ten rides, at £15 that's only £1.50 a ride, bargain. some people I have spoken with on normal days only expect to get about six rides in total. (I too hate it once I've been spoilt)

Are you sure that wasn't on Bubbleworks? seriously though, if you think you are suffering any drop in consciousness you should get checked out by the "vet", I.e. the Doctor. Better safe.

I think you are right - check out what appear to be the gables.

"Hold the front page", I'm booked for Saturday week, and I don't want to be disappointed.

That's a great total, so that must have cost thirteen pence a ride?

Nicely written, well done. Not being one for cities or shopping, I made my main visit in Manhattan the Intrepid museum which is an aircraft carrier, on which there is an aircraft collection, a space shuttle, and then on the dock a Concorde and a submarine beside. I too went to the Grand Central Station to marvel at the architecture beneath.

You have just made a lot of people jealous with that posting.

Ah, must feed that wonderful singing voice!

Ah, I know I will have to wait to see what happens when I visit, but I get annoyed if there's only one person in front of me, it really winds me up a treat when we are then overtaken by others, for whatever reason.

There's no time to eat, not in three hours, surely?

For me it's three weeks until I will be there, looking forward to it again.

Once it got darker though the flies started to challenge my eyeballs, especially on Colossus.

Each to their own, and I do think as we are built differently, it's not always the same for everybody. I love the front, but I will plump for the back if not there.

Good report, thanks for taking the time to write it up.

Yes, I too attended this evening, having had my day at Farnborough. As Jamie said, no waiting and three hours in the park.................... and yes I did leave Stealth. RIDECOUNT: Stealth x17 Nemesis Inferno x3 The Swarm x2 Saw x2 Colossus x3 Total rides 27 Time lost due to one breakdown and one phone retrieval.

Interesting write-up, I wonder if the brands of root-beer vary, as the one I found was drinkable? Enjoy your time and thanks for the updates.

I'm glad you have now ridden it and that you enjoyed it. Now you have an excuse to try the others out, to see how they compare. Megaphobia at Oakwood is probably the best woodie we have in the United Kingdom but those at BPB are brilliant, they each have their own feel.

Had the same thought, but for me it would be Rip Ride Rocket!

Yesterday, I.e. Sunday..... Now I know why I have always avoided going to TP on a Sunday. Bad news for me, Stealth did not open; Slammer did not operate, something to do with the P.A. not working; Two early rides on Nemesis Inferno before the queues quickly got to beyond 45 minutes; Colossus far too busy; I actually like the latest lighting effects in X; the Angry Birds dodgems finally got a test by me and they are pretty good, "nice and clean since the rains", really, they are still clean at the moment. Then, I left the park by one oclock, it was really busy and as many coaches as on a weekday.

Ah, a woman after my own airtime..... having ridden Kingda Ka now, it proved that Stealth is smoother and provides more airtime. Sadly, today, not working at all.

Wooden Warrior at Quassy is a fantastic ride in a quite small area; the park is a very good family park with loads more of the conventional fairground type amusements, we did that on the same day.

Will be there in five weeks. Love Drenched (as well as Tidal Wave) in the right weather, which is hot and drying weather, though I was able to pop off and get dried and changed afterwards. I know there have been discussions before, but I would love to ride it earlier in the day. Megaphobia is fantastic and it is interesting to see how the speed varies during a day.

Nice little vid., where do you get those sound effects of somoene being terrified of every movement of the ride? Perhaps an opening shot of the ride/name entrance fading into the ride would enhance it. Nicely.
