It is quite over-run at the moment with Mac's and Bose I have to say! I might take a pic of my set-up soon.

Have a good holiday! See you when you get back!

You mean like when someone invites you to an event? I'm getting two of every event email at the moment, a good 6 hours or more away from each other!

They went back, it's now 10:11am

Grr at Mark for posting that!Thanks everyone!

Anyone elses MSN being really slow??

The way the ride has been designed and made has to allow it to have that flexabilty, if it didn't wobble and was rigid it would eventually crack due to stress. Rides are all made different ways, some don't wobble, some wobble quite a lot. It just varies on design, the thing you have to remember is, it's perfectly safe.

What a numpty!

Dragons Fury is currently experiencing a technical delay and has ceased operation. We are unsure how long it will be until it's back up and running, try next week?

Is it made by Zamperla?

LIFT!!! HATE trains!Sea Gulls or Pigeons?

Something to do with one of the lift hill motors from what I've heard.On another note Billys Whizzer is down.

And yet you don't add anything to the Vortex topic. I know this post adds nothing but please stay on topic.

Vampire re-opened this afternoon!

Not a big fan of Vortex but if you do get top seat and you have been queueing a while for it then it's worth it!And Theme Park Bloke, that is nit-picking and you haven't really added anything to the topic..

Hey sorry never went to this meet up went to SP instead. Glad you all seemed to enjoy it.

I've had two rollbacks now! They aren't that great to be honest. If you want to be stuck on Stealth for 10-15 minutes and find that fun then what ever floats your boat. The only best bit is when your at the top and you can feel the train slow down and start to go backwards.The actual going backwards fast I didn't really enjoy.

Family guy!!! :)Mark or Marc?

Err.... so the word means Original/Different/Never been done before....?The original part doesn't make sense with what the other meanings the word has... How can something be original but never been done before?? :SSorry you have completely lost me.

Gerstlauer & an external engineering company are putting up the ride, not Thorpe. Basically what you mean is did B&M & Intamin take as long as Gerstlauer to put their track up? No... It took Gerstlauer and the external engineering company that time, not Thorpe.

Fire is used throughout the ride cycle. It has 3 cycles, the video I posted is cycle 2, the longest and most popular cycle. It uses fire when it flips, during mid ride, flips the other way and finally all the fire at the end.

Talocan, Suspended Huss Top Spin. Fire, water and mist effects. Whole area is themed. It's actually amazing.Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yuYHYiKVdc

Really really sad about this. I love it to bits and have always defended it. I really will miss it. As Mark said, it's not really that rough compared to a some of the newer coasters, hate me all you want but I find Colossus a lot more painful and rough than I have ever found Corkscrew.

I agree, no daily teaser today!

Whoa! You and your mates must be hard core!! Seriously though, Vortex isn't that good in my opinion.Anyway back on topic: Rush is just amazing from start to finish. Love the fact it's just a lap bar!
