I have a feeling Matt put his own name down in a lot of categories

It's Derren, not Darran.

I made it

imagine typing this, posting it and thinking you're funny

But surely on the first day of the season a Chessington fan site will be at Chessington to try out their new ride for ... Oh

Jamie even you yourself assumed that Loggers was leaving altogether due to those 'firm' or 'heavy' rumours so I'm not sure what you're trying to get at there?!

I suppose that linking it all together, log flumes could be high risk in that people standup a lot etc. But I'm sure it's something totally different as this seems to be a systematic set of closures if you like and people have said things about it being with Mack more than anything (I don't know much about that, I'm just putting two and two together and getting seven most likely). I don't think they'd close several rides of the same type by the same manufacturer for no 'valid' reason to be honest

thorpes maze quality: sub par

Just as I don't understand why someone would be annoyed that they couldn't get the last train of the season on stealth.

The place in Brentwood? Seriously pushing the boundaries of what can be considered a theme park there...
 
It's like a field with an inflatable slide...
 
...

I've heard of a lot of 'heavy rumours' over the past few years that really haven't happened. In all honesty it just looks like you're jumping the gun in an attempt to find something to say is not quite right (read [in a shouty voice]: absolutely disgraceful) within Thorpe/Merlin's operations. 
 
Also, I've been simply glancing through this topic and have very much understood that the park likely don't have a clue what they're doing themselves, as pluk and I believe electricBill have pointed it. So for you to have seemingly missed that point, or chosen to ignore it, it rather odd. 
 
The closure of Logger's isn't great and I'm sure we all don't want to see it as much as you, but from one moaner to another, this is coming across as a little bit silly.

I don't think they know what they're doing with, let alone any of us!

They want to encourage more people through the door at a time of low demand so they can get more money. Basic supply and demand stuff thorpe are following. Doubt there will be other reasons for the price drop.

Whooosh.

U OK HUN XXX??

As a sauce, JordanLuke is always a little off...
 

in regards to the smiler, yes it does... stop being so insensitive. they haven't shut it because of budget cuts, or just plain laziness, or even due to the ride malfunctioning or something. they've shut it because an awful accident has occurred on it that's changed people's lives, and also been absolutely teared into by the media, severely affecting the popularity of Towers. not only would it be impossible to open the ride during scarefest, due to the safety reports and stuff... it would also be largely insensitive and also plain stupid... imagine the headlines in the daily mail. 'horror ride opened during horror season' or some bull****e. towers would get teared apart by the media, and Merlin really can't afford to lose anymore customers, or have its reputation tarnished further. the smiler will open when its ready, and when it should be open... not when us enthusiasts want to ride it again asap.

Why is Smiler closed again?
 
Oh yeah...
