  1. Last time I checked the Pinfari zacspin had a good amount of fabrics on its site. I wonder if they'll finally build it this year!
  2. Looks quite fun! I'd only do it on the ride itself and would be passed off if permanently a row was taken up by OR systems. Maybe have event days/timetabled carriages over a week etc.
  3. However if leaving early as I hope to do, I think the water park is a little steep if we will only get a couple hours in it anyway. Pleasure beach tickets bought, hotel money set aside, annual pass found. Looking forward to this!
  4. Lift hill - the ride up the side of the Great Wall of china. Oh wait...
  5. The hybrids look semi decent this year. And they're actually calling them hybrids aswell. Other then that, not a particularly interesting/great round up this year. Very samey which was disappointing.

    Logger's Leap

    Yeah my last 2 visits have started with loggers being shut until around midday? Seem to be doing alot more checks/delays compared to what it used to be like. If they do eventually get rid of loggers, it'll be fun to see what that huge area can become!
  7. Everythings ahead for me! I finally got my pay today (just came back from a ridiculous holiday with some mates) and so I have the funds to go ahead, I think. Only things now is that SCB must get his car fixed and how much the travel lodge is. If the bluey does get fixed in time, it may be easier for me to switch cars due to room arrangements at Blackpool. But then again if it causes too much hassle theres little point. (NEWSFLASH) Will be travelling in the merlinMobile! Apparently everythings fixed, and like I said due to arrangements and stuff it's just easier for me to go in it. In terms of things, I think we could definitely do the water park at some point on the Sunday, along with maybe one other attraction? Some of the people going have school the following morning so I wouldn't want to stay much later then 6PM on the sunday. It looks really good and I won't be heading back up to blackpool any time soon so I for one would love to do it.
  8. That is one of the major flaws with the system. It should never be released across the whole park or there will be more people sitting around rather then on the rides. The system won't work without a normal queue, and ride available without having to RnR.
  9. I actually disagree. The RnR is fully customisable with a reschedule option. You can move around the times as much as you like throughout the day.
  10. No one trains today! Everything was fine today par Saw and Loggers. Loggers started the day dry but between 11 and 1 it was filled up and going, and saw broke down around 4ish due to what looked like an issue with the first fin on the final brake run (from Colossus you could see the cherry picker extended up to the brake run and people inspecting only this first fin.) Reserve n ride worked well once it got going, but to be honest it would never work if all the rides in the park were switched to it and had no normal queues. that'd be pointless and people will be just waiting round all day. Rush had a nice day today, both arms seeming to get good height (muhahahaha James, neither of us owe eachother anything. Don't believe this, ask frightnights04) Good day today, got everything we wanted to get done again and had a nice little trip out of the park to be met by a racist, swearing, and physically abusive redhead. Otherwise, not bad for the busiest weekend of the year!

    Slammer

    Well it'll happen at some point... The longevity of these things is completely unknown, just that they clearly need a bit of help to keep going. The fact is we know that thorpe have invested a substantial amount into it, and probably lack the patience and money set aside for it any more. Cherish it now, as it might not be here tomorrow.
  12. Scream. Scream lots. Then sob a little. Then stob sobbing and point at it. Then throw up. Then get off the ride, run out of the park, and make sure to never eat a bird again. No offence inended

    They seem to be doing a mid day check every day, and it can start a bit late like ricky staid. Last 3 times I'v visited it did open at 10, but the queues grew huge after midday or so.
  14. High five for not caring about maths and getting the same grade!
  15. Thrill Ville, Off the Rails. Now made in Tron for xbox one!
  16. I'm slightly dissapointed with mine, :/ : C - Sciences. D in Chem, B in Physics (much to my surprise, I thought I failed) and C in Biology. C - Maths Second time I've got a C but my school thought I was smart so I trelled them : 3 C - French - A in everything apart from my writing, got a D in it and apparently 3 A's and a D = a C okay AQA C - Geography. 1.5 % off a B, that I need to take at sixth form. Apparently, I'll be fine but IDK I'm really worried I cannot pursue that subject further. B - English Lang. 3 Marks, off an A. My speaking and listening was a D but everything else was an A so die. B - English Lit. Happy with that, expected alot worse. B - Art. 2 Marks off an A but my teacher predicted me a low C so he can shove that up his face. B - Music. 1 DAMNED MARK OFF AN A COME ON. Mixed bag really, Happy with them all apart from Geography, but it's annoying how alot of mine are borderline grades.
  17. 1. Rush - When you're on a good circuit (haven't had a particularly bad one this year) the thrilling amounts of air time when sat in the right position is unique and always gets me. That's whai iz ma bae. 2. Saw - The indoor part still scares me, being squeamish and all. Love the outdoor part aswell, having never ridden any other eurofighter its kinda unique to me, and is amazing at the end of the day. 3. Nemesis Inferno - Because Nemesis went all #yoloswag and made a volcano. Top kek 4. Slammer - I've only ridden it this year, but still thats 5 times. So fun and I always manage to lose money and my torso always seems to free itself from the restraints. 5. X - This ride is just so fun. I want it in my garden. Yez. 6. The Swarm - This was my fave for a little while, before my appreciation for rush really grew. So smooth and that inverted drop is fun, but otherwise it's just not quite as thrilling as the others. 7. Storm in a Teacup With Kinnaird - This is the best spinning experience I've ever had. Better then Dragon's fury with just me and a fat man sitting diagonally opposite. THE SPIN IS REAL 8. Stealth - Not the greatest ride experience but oh how I love the launch front row or back row. 9. Colossus - First time ever, this year I had a really rough circuit on Colossus. Since then it's not been as bad but I still love the quad barrel roll. 10. Tidal wave - Rarely do it anymore but when I'm with FrightNights04 or its a boiling hot day, it seems to be a good choice, and because I do it so rarely it still gets me! Anyone who knows me well also knows how much I dislike drop towers, thus why Detty does not make the list. Quantum, vortex and Samurai would have been next followed by loggers with J.S217 :3
  18. It does make me wonder sometimes. It's always useful to have a second person on a story, so thanks for that James However what I will say is that the way you dismissively flick away the job that hosts are doing LC is quite rude. I wonder if for a day, we put you in their position. I wonder if you'd be as efficient, managing to get 1000 people an hour onto a ride like stealth. The job can be stressful, and whilst I have no experience working for or in a theme park, I wouldn't like to be in their position where you just trash talk your way through their job, that they have been trained to do, and probably know what they're doing whether it looks like it or not. Maybe, just maybe, if you considered how arrogant your tone can be on the internet, people would understand you a bit more. Take the way James put it, he didn't say they were being derpy, they were inadequate counters or whatever. He didn't personally attack them, he just said how he would have preferred the day. When you go and mock trained, fair working human beings in their work place, it comes off as very unpleasant and hurtful. In my opinion, I just think it's wrong to roll off rude slurs like that. Thank you PS Thorpe you're doing a great job, remembering this is the busiest time of the year and how much stress everyone and everything is under. :3 The moan is because of my attitude atm, very annoyed at my results.
  19. ^ bit long winded... Like fish's farts
  20. I was like 'oh look, train tickets for £30! Cheaper then the car :0... Oh wait, I'm 16 now..' ~looks at adult tickets~ 'yeezuz Christ £90?!... Peaj can I please have my seat back :3' It is a joke. My seat is in peajs car unless Scb wants it, I'll be in it most probably I think.
  21. If Thorpe aren't gonna make anything new this year, they can at least tidy up!
