Sounds like a cool concept but I'm a little confused. Wait, no I'm not, sounds great. You should make a short-list like we get for meets and cross people off as they go.

Yay, night terror buddies! I've had them only a couple times in the last few years but it's horrible. Especially if you're sharing a room with someone.

God you look handsome Josh! You should tidy yourself up and look smart more often! (now that I've said that I feel like my nan)

Yes because volcanoes erupt bananas with monkeys on them.

In their changing market it'll be a very poor decision to remove X. Maybe they can tidy it up a little bit but not remove it! Thorpes best coaster IMO #h8rsh8

I have never used the trainline before. I always forget about it until the day when they charge me £12 to go from Waterloo to thorpe .-. (plz make it contactless/oyster zone)

Ew.

Yeah I'll come but will skip the dungeons thank you very much please. (I'll probably travel with you peaj however you do it if that's okay)

This is really hard for me to work out if you are being serious or sarcastic.

Welcome! I am friendly I think

Good bye Chief Rangers Carousel! Had some fun tonight with ya, and all the other enthusiasts/staff. It was cool to finally see what it was designed to be like, and not empty with a bored teenage op but rather full of people all chanting and yelling and having a fun time. I've never really cared for the ride but after tonight I'll be sad to see it go. Come soon 2016, and do some justice!

Listening to the radio it was actually the original writers script for toy story 4, so it was pixar's decision. (if I remember correctly) So many movies I want to watch this winter. Interstellar Paddington Bear Dumb and Dumber to Minions..

What reason would you have to anyway Tommy? I don't know where I stand with this whole university thing. I'm getting to the age where I should seriously start considering if it is something I want to do straight out of school. I'm not too far away from starting my AS levels, and you know, moving on in school. But I have had such a rubbish time in school I'm not sure if uni is for me. I have always hated the idea of continuing the dull, boring life that is the school one, especially in the last couple years where the bullying peaked, and when that died the homework has grown and grown. I know what I want to do with my life, and there is one perfect course I would take (at least in England) if I wanted to do university. I just really don't know if it is cut out for me. How does the feeing system work in university? Is there even more work then there is at A levels? Is it easier to fit in? Is it worth taking a gap year? Should I go to a university that is far from my home? Would it be worth it to take a course I am unsure of? How do I know it'll help me get the job I want to get to? All these big questions circle round my head every time I think of what happens after school, when I have lectures, and when I think of my results and people talking about jobs. ITS SO UNCLEAR AND I DON'T LIKE IT MEH

I hate the John Lewis ads now, Charlie Brooker does a great job of summing it up here: (contains aggressive language) http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2011/nov/20/christmas-adverts-john-lewis But I like christmas. This is the third year ever I'm not going skiing for it, so instead I finally get to do winter wonderland!

Organized Quiz! (Thursday at 8PM) More reason to come if you want to talk to Peaj. It'll probably be similar to last time. Maybe a bit easier. Probably a bit harder.

The main source of the rumours for Doctor who I believe, is since the big success of the Cebeebies garden area land bob thing in Alton towers. It got to the point that people were starting to think they were funding a second ride at the back of the dark forest or something themed around Doctor Who, but also people started to think they have given a franchise to a different merlin park. With the gap between the opening of Cebeebies land and the rumours for 2016 starting, it's understandable that people can put the dots together and say that this is a Doctor Who IP. But that can be as likely as any other decent BBC IP, or an in house one.

I'd go depending on how long you plan to stay. If you propose 3 days it'll probably be a no though. But it sounds like a good plan!

Never been stuck on a coaster for more then 5 minutes or so, so have never been evaced. You're right, it is lovely to take in the views and relax, but I can imagine for people in slightly stickier situations, possibly being a carer or someone with special needs, or is just in general scared of rollercoasters, that it can be stressful.

1/10 I have no idea what that is, what it represents, or if you even took/made it.

Well I lost £3 on my last ride, so if it closes I'm taking £3 worth of scrap metal from it

*coughs* here's my 2 pence. 1. I am getting kinda sick of your continuous moaning LC. This is a 'fan' site, not 'trash talk and tell them how to do everything because they are bollocks' site. 2. I have visited thorpe 7 times this year, and not once have I seen any coaster par Colossus on one train. Maybe this is a good coincidence, and maybe you're just extremely unlucky. Maybe you're making things up. 3. I've visited on a sunday twice this year, and nemesis inferno is normally my second or third ride. It's always been on two trains, only time I've seen it on one was 3 years ago. I've been on weekdays a few times this year too due to school ending early for me, and everything has had 2 train ops from public opening. 4. I've said this before, and I'll say it again. If you think, that Thorpe is so bad at running itself, then you go there, you run everything all by yourself for a day. No staff on the rides, and see how well you do. Alot of the time it's not the workers fault, and alot of the time there is very little the workers can do about sorting problems out. Maybe they could've been a bit organized before, sure, but at the same time things happen. It's like if you work in an office and all your computers crash. You could've backed things up more but at the end of the day it happened, and you got to move on. Finally;

Dayum. Well as a few people know I run a youtube too, and I've got a pretty secure mount. Having a GoPro, they're already renowned for being secure and not braking/flying off their mounts. But I use a chest mount, which is basically a harness that straps round your waist and over your shoulders, and clips in in 3 different places, so the likeliness of it coming apart during an activity or ride is miniscule. It got to the point that I have now actually been able to film at Chessington without any problems (of course, I asked permission). Anyway, with your camera, I'd recommend getting something more secure then just any old strap from an old camera or games console remote. Infact, I'd actually suggest you get a GoPro chest mount, then buy a universal screw adaptor for your camera. It'll cost about £40 all together but the cameras chances of falling off are tiny, and I've found ride ops and hosts are alot less reluctant, even excited, when they see you have the right stuff. (when me and SCB went to Adventure Island, we were able to film on everything. Then on rage the hosts started getting really excited by me having my camera xd) PS if you wish to go further in filming on rides, I'd certainly recommend saving up for a gopro. The new one (the hero 4) is brilliant, it's got some of the best specs and fps on any action camera, and it is designed to survive bumps and drops without too much ware and tare.

And thus, one more joins the valhalla fan club.

No you got it all wrong..

It's not all club music. Must've discussed this somewhere else, but yeah, the lasers are pretty cool. They're really in time with the music, and they have so many cool effects over boxes and triangles in X, eg at one point they project a piano being played, time warps like in the Doctor Who intro sequence, and whilst I didn't see it apparently they also turn into the chessington logo. But yeah it's great at dark, and WE WERE ALLOWED RE-RIDES OK. But it's not all club music, in our circuits we got the saw themetune and the others could be found in the X playlist, so I suspect they just got a bundle of music from thorpe?
