Methinks that if this is a ride, in the dark, going forwards, then in a few years time they'll put the lights on and turn the seats round.

Love that line.."The court was told Padgett worked in telesales but was between jobs."

Apparently he knew he had a condition, no fault has been found with the ride. I hope he recovers.

It also takes BPB back to it's routes, as in the Hyram Maxim Flying Machines were created by Maxim to fund his research into flight, before the Wright Brothers took their recorded their first.

I had my chance to try Air Race during the last two weeks and I thought it pretty good.
Actually, I love GForce and that hang time. We are all built differently and though I was able to ride it continuously, others in the group either did not ride it at all, or only once. As to "built differently", I ride Shockwave with my legs lifted up so I get a tighter roll, and I think, though it's somewhat late for me, it protects other areas.
DM, nice park.

Well went to TP today (16th October), and got stuck, on Stealth. Well, what I mean is there were so few people in the park, I could not leave Stealth as the team kept forcing me to ride it. Dead lucky with the weather, as the one shower gave me a chance to lunch and apparently, Stealth broke down, so when I went back, all dry, all working, and they made me keep riding, honestly.
Oh, and someone had recognized me from a picture in a book on sale in the shop, apparently I own Thorpe Park - I ought to check my bank account.

I think, pull the shoulder restraints down to touching whilst "sitting tall", one cannot then go anywhere.
I think the OSR's are important when it comes to larger people as the lap bar will vary it's grip with the movement of the body tissue - there, I'm trying to be polite.

Now that is nasty, but saved by the actions of another by following the rules - perhaps the "inspector" needs a refresher course.

My turn, enjoy your lives, smugly get on with your own and you will reap the rewards.
If anybody feels they have to comment on someone else's life, it doesn't say much for their own does it?
The longer you know someone, the more irrelevant the age. Mates aren't "ageist".

A parent doesn't actually know what is right, they hope and think they do, because their prime aim, is to protect their offspring.
The offspring and the parent rarely read the same instruction manual, you know, the one where you obey the rules, so long as it suits everybody, then if you don't, you get some form of forfeit to pay, I.e. stopped from using something.
When the "young blighter" is away from the nest, the parent worries that their loved one, may be doing the things that they themselves got away with, but realized at the time it was risky.
Saying "sorry" normally goes a long way in repairing damage, and if it doesn't, then one cannot be criticized for having done that.
Enjoy your lives, so long as you don't force your beliefs on others, consider your life is valuable to others before you, and step back and think sometimes.
Oh, and by the way, the wrong is not in doing something, it's getting caught that is wrong.

Interesting music video, where someone uses the equipment in an expert manner, but, never mind that, watch the dog.

Okay, I admit it, I too was there yesterday, and I'm not vegetarian.
For reasons best known to me, I went straight to Stealth and only recognised two of the team, so a little worrying but no problem they were very helpful.
One of the lads has been working in the park but not on Stealth for three months, therefore it does indicate that staff are all on different levels of experience, and it seems to me that there is less supervision from managers at the moment. At times there were massive gaps which required proper batching.
I observed two chaps in the queue both wearing black coaster tee shirts but I did not get a chance to converse - "Hi!" if it's anybody here.
Thought things were going too well when on approaching the platform the ride stopped short, and I announced to those around me that we would be there for a while; we were, until released using the "jockey pack".The ride was not fixed by the baffled engineers for at least an hour and a half.
The Dodgems had been undergoing a "dead on their sides" maintenance check and finally I got in to a car as they reopened, or rather they did not, as the engineer had left with the control key in his pocket which caused a further delay.
The park was really busy, and one of the staff informed me that over 5000 had booked online for yesterday.
All the other queues were massive, I.e. over one minute, and so I called it a day (I live local), because, it was, a day, a Wednesday in fact.

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.

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.
