I have it! A good high-quality version. It's an 8-minute track (I think) where the whole tune plays twice over. It was on Music Of Merlin.com but due to the lack of sponsorship, the site folded, thus resulting in the loss of a good site! If anyone wants a copy, PM me your email address and I'll send you a copy. But please be patient, as due to work commitments I may not send it for a few days, but I will send it. It's such a brilliant tune, and I also have a good high-quality copy of Kobra if anyone's interested!

Never thought I'd say this, but at the moment it would appear Slammer is outperforming Samurai!

Question: On the online members list on the main page, you can click on a members name to view their profile. But sometimes I see a member online where you can't click, namely Google, just wondering why is that? Also, don't mean to be picky and I know its IPB but the time format is wrong. It shouldn't be 02:00 PM, either 2:00 PM or 14:00. I see members can't customise their settings too.

Bit confused there, Mark!

Coming soon: a map of what the areas I think they should work on. Need to find my crayons first.

As we've said, a retheme is well overdue. But it needs to be good one, with a fantastic new name. IMO Rumba never really fit into Calpyso Quay. Stuck in the corner, it's like a ride still trying to get through the gates, although one of the parks originals and oldest. Kings like Nemesis and Stealth towering over it now make it feel so small and isolated, but why oh why does it get those long queues I will never know!

Friday's news of Justin Bieber's meltdown - gotta feel a little sorry for him, mainly for paparazzi's being the morons they are. It's a shame he's come here to England and it's all gone pear-shaped for him, who can blame him for Friday's actions after the week he had last week. Glad to see a lot of people are out in support of him too. In other news, really enjoying the ongoing comeback of Maroon 5. We've had 2 singles from them in nearly a year now, and what cracking singles indeed. This is a band I enjoyed nearly a decade ago, with the likes of This Love and She Will Be Loved. They've come back and are still sparkling, plenty of miles left in them yet and I look forward to it all!

Oh great. All excited for nothing.

Nothing. And the memories. I've done 4 - not too bad. I didn't vote for the original Vampire because I can't remember if I did ride it (bloody alzheimers!).

Or just pray you're told to go to rows 1 or 3 - front rows.

But this is Thorpe Park, is that possible? What exactly was wrong with Samurai when it as down before Fright Nights?

Sorry Alex, you admire Rush or Slammer? I wonder what the scrap value is? I assume it's all gone to be scrapped - surely some parts could've been salvaged and sold to Thorpe, even if Catapult did have maintenance issues too?

The day they get rid of this ride and the beach I shall be very happy. People may moan at my opinion for wanting to get rid of the beach too, but think of this...take Depth Charge away and leave the beach there, what do you suppose they put in instead? Getting rid of both is better.

On their Facebook page they have informed us of an announcement to be made today at 10am. Some think it could be joining the rest of them at County Hall. I think it's a refurbishment announcement. Anyone know or got any ideas?

My mate is so tall that during loading and offloading, he can sit in the seat with his size 15 feet firmly on the ground, and tilt the pod to help others easily get on and off.

I was in a pub today and Remember Me by Johnny Leyton was played. I was instantly reminded of Amity Cove and how marvelously it echoes through there and suits the area.

Smoother? Last year it was as smooth as a baby's bum!

Let's face it, these new Detonater, Slammer and Samurai tracks were crap! Best thing they ever did going back to the old ones. Even the Tony Blair-style Colossus station ones were cheap and awful!

McDonalds. Like KFC, I refuse to even step in a Subway. Even the waft when you walk past an open Subway door is awful.

Ahh right, thanks. I wish they'd ditch that 2007/new track for good. Hate it, doesn't really fit in with the ride's theme at all.

I've never heard the news about neighbours complaining!

It's a disaster and it's getting worse year on year! Jesus H Christ, someone sort it. No more chart music except for events. Please. Just the original tunes in their correct places, and at the right pitch. What is so hard about that?

Now I'm confused. If I've read above correctly, the main tune is being played in the entrance, the queueline outside and in the station, along with the despatch tune when a train departs?

It's been about 6 years since I wast went on it - a ride is well overdue. And the original Davina countdown is now in use again, correct?
