  1. The Ghost Train is definitely worth it, especially as it has it's real ghosts as well, supposedly.
  2. Apparently this has not gone down well with the engineers who have more strict controls placed on them by the limits of the anemometers, then have to "take the blame" from the guests. The forecast of the weeks weather was why I went yesterday (Tuesday) and proved correct. Free ticket sounds good, but I don't know how annual pass holders benefit.
  3. A hostel is a great idea, but sadly there is little encouragement around Heathrow due to the influence of hotels in the area. Hostels are brilliant, used them all the time whilst in New Zealand and they don't have to be flash, just functional.
  4. Perhaps they thought as it was VR, they could experience it anywhere?
  5. Nemesis Inferno is a great ride, intense and flowing, love the front, like the back.
  6. I am thankful that we all have totally different tastes, there'd be one heck of a queue if we didn't!
  7. I gave up counting years ago - it's been at least twice this year though.
  8. Just hope there are no trainee vets on here at the moment!
  9. On Stealth today I rode with an "older" guest who celebrated his 100th ride on Stealth since it's opening, he's been counting. Nice to share his happy moment.
  10. On Stealth today, I heard a female say "I think I've strained my t*ts through screaming so much", I only looked once.
  11. Excuse me, I'm having a chat to a dead wasp!
  12. Oh lucky me, I attracted a passenger on Saturday last, luckily up the outside of my leg on my shorts as I rode Stealth. The darned wasp was not best pleased and let me know on the brake run - the wasp did not survive for questioning.
  13. Each to their own, as with all rides. I personally have ridden the Heide Park Colossus and found it to be a great ride, with plenty of airtime; these large wooden coasters are "cathedrals" and it would be a shame to see that go. TP's Colossus, a totally different beast, is a great ride and intense enough for a lot of people, and for those with strong neck muscles to keep the head against the restraint to avoid the ear banging.
  14. You think so? that would be the most expensive "escort" price for that ride.
  15. It's been a lot less effort being weird.
  16. Now there's a thing; if an over eighteen wanted to ride it repeatedly, then they could lease themselves out, let's see, fifty pence for five, times.......... Think I'll stick to the other rides.
  17. Ah, as I live close, I only have the TP pass which is a stupid cheap price er, is available. Merlin pass can be a little dear for most people. It all depends on how many times you can visit. Good luck.
  18. It's holiday season, so the gate is up, and visitors on Tuesday were saying it was busy. Queques vary during the day. If you don't have too far to travel and you have a pass, it would be worth going.
  19. I meant for the park, not for the members.
  20. RCCGB there next week. Publicity?
  21. It was definitely weird.
  22. Vortex was up and running today.
  23. Rollback - never wanted one as it would be ride time wasted. Today, a guy sat next to me asked if it had rolled back recently as he had heard it does it once in one hundred and fifty launches - rubbish I say, and bring him "up to date" with the increase in propulsion loading about four years ago - we got off the train. I stood on the platform and watched the next train launch, AND ROLLBACK! About 5.45pm.. this evening.
  24. Ha Ha, the approaching rain was the reason I left it yesterday.
