Rich

I don't know what has come over me, but I bought an iPhone 3g yesterday on contract. And before you say it, the 3gs is a rip off and I can't be bothered to wait for it and keep wasting my phone calls, phoning the o2 shop up asking if they have it in stock yet!

Even though we had to PERSUADE him to come...!

Was a brilliant day, thanks everyone!

Just to confirm that Blast is well and truly been scrapped, the last 3 days of season now are 10am-5pm.

I am attending

Utter rubbish, it opens when it has been tested and ready for regular operation. Which could happen early morning way before park opens, or during the day, it depends WHEN they have fixed it. E.g. it isn't going to sit there for 3 hours if its perfectly capable of running.

No they don't. They follow rules. It all depends how many staff are on the ride, if there isn't enough then they can't batch until the ride has cleared of guests.

Slammer yesterday was batching people while the ride was running.

I completely agree, please read the warn system. Repeat offenders will be subject to it.

6th AugustSo me and Ricky went to Thorpe Park. Was quite busy but died off at the end due to rides closing and the rain!Samurai was one of the ONLY major rides running without a break down.Stealth rolled back, which I haven't seen for a while now! It was shortly after they added the second train if I remember correctly! It also broke down earlier as well.Park was kept rather clean and tidy and didn't really see any drama.So all was good up until whenever Inferno closed which I can't remember now... 2.30ish? (please confirm Ricky) and it stayed closed for the rest of the day.So from 6.30pm it really went wrong for Thorpe. Slammer had problems, Saw had minor technical difficulties and Colossus had some kind of bolt fall off from the train/track as the engineer was about with his binoculars looking at the top of the lift hill where the train was stopped. I had this confirmed as I overheard some of the conversation over the radio asking if there was an exact location it fell. He then went back to look at the lift hill.Queued for Saw last, still raining it shut down 5-6 times within the 15 minute queue. The engineer eventually decided to stay in the console and sort out any problems.All in all was a good day, just annoyed that at one point Nemesis Inferno, Colossus, Saw and Slammer were all down.I am also rather proud of myself as I fixed a Bose 251 by Colossus Bridge!

Oh are there? I haven't heard of TPM doing them before... Only SP etc...

Have a good time Ryan.I can't believe I can see a Paultons advert at the bottom of this screen

Paul, I believe Daniel said there wasn't a queue, so there isn't a problem!

Theme Park bloke, you're suppose to answer my this or that before making up your own....

Corkscrew, how I miss that thing! :PKnock you down by Keri Hilson feat Kanye West and Neyo OR Let it Rock by Kevin Rudolf feat Lil Wayne

Yeh Keith, it was filmed when Boris was alive. What a brilliant video though! Thanks for the find!

Thank you Ricky! Stay on topic guys...

I have not been, but the website does not make me want to go, seriously it looks worse than Splash Down!

I have other plans for 30th, I won't be coming.

PJ's day, despite the fact I don't own a pair! :)Flying Jumbos or Toadies?

Excuse me Mark? Who was the losers that went on them? COUGH *Mark and Seb*. Who was the cool one that didnt? Yeah me!

It's the same concept, Heave Ho is made by Zamperla (Italian), Griffins is made by Zierer (German).Heave Ho does feel really cheap, the way the bars are released etc. Plus Heave Ho has a tyre, like a pirate ship to move it back and forth, Griffins has a built in motor to drive it.

Ok I have got the day off, so I may as well come!

Darn you Aero! I actually have 29th off,so if you did go, I wouldn't be there!

Due to current problems I think it's best I don't go.
