I did like Slammer as a unique ride - not re-rideable, but tried to visit when working. Seems a shame after all the efforts over the last three years, and it's physical position must have been considered when siting the ghost train.

Wouldn't like it at anytime - particular lack of G force and strong attack of P force!

Mainly the cleanliness of the place along with the enthusiasm of the staff. There is a variety of rides for all tastes and if one gets fed up with that, then just a break to walk round the park. I was there with a Coaster Club and due to their exclusive session, and other members having done it enough, I managed Leviathon six times solo before the GP came in. The whole park is a delight. I don't have the knowledge that Ben does, but the park is served by public transport from Toronto. There are several things to do around as well described by Ben, but for the aviation enthusiast there is a great aircraft collection at Hamilton which includes the worlds only other airworthy Lancaster.

Interesting read about a park I've actually been to, and loved.

Okay then, I'll sit with you. X:/NWO was great for me with all the quirkiness and not knowing what was going to happen next.

Remind me not to sit with you anymore. For me, X - No Way Out when it opened in 1996, yes I'm an old ffffffffffellow. It was great and totally disorienting and my son and daughter (aged 19 and 17 at the time) thoroughly enjoyed it.

They did that in our Civil Service website a few years back; odd how they feel the need then to send as many emails apologizing for the inconvenience.

On the original playback the noise of squealing tyres was sounded with the verbal countdown, not now. as in this

Though it's nice to have effects working each time, since they changed the countdown intro for Stealth, the smoke from the "squeeling tyres" doesn't work ,and I have heard many people comment that it worried them when not seeming to have a relevence.

Ooh, I wish! though the transition from stationary to 82mph is awesome.

Not many calls for the Croydon Tram Link to be closed yet!

A master of his craft, who, in a word, has probably touched all of our lives.

Dreamworld state they will dismantle the ride, I think that appropriate as opposed to the incident on Smiler when people were severely injured but no loss of life. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-37916546

I do think that will be due to the reduction in staff for this time of year, and those that remain having still to deal with quite an influx of inquiries. I have found that over the last month, replies seems to take up to three weeks.

I like the bit where it flies off the top and the parachute opens!

Down to what you interpret a ride to be also; a person last week on Stealth informed her group that the worst part of it was going "upside down"!

Hmm, nice one, thanks for sharing.

For public days yes, this could be one quiet birthday celebration.

Wow, it makes me realize how lucky I am.

Speaking to the engineering team, and luckily for me, they confirm that we will have at least another ten years of it, the ride that is. The work done on the catch car has actually created a stronger unit than it was originally. Hopefully next year the now planned modifications will not interfere with the season.

A woman said to me yesterday "I've seen you ride this four times, that could seriously damage your brain!" How late can somebody be?

I termed it as that to cover the Services Day as well. Somebody did offer to adopt me into their family for the JL do, but I thought it may get too technical, sadly.

Nice one Ian.

Good to see yourselves and other club members about the park today. Quite a few youngsters on the park when I thought they would be at school. Last day of the season, unless one is at a corporate event over the next few days. Luckily got the last ride of the season on ............ Stealth.
