yeah

Weren't they originally for the valley between Forbidden Valley and Dark Forest? Or was that SW7?

So it does. Didnt notice the "shark" in the logo because of the light, thought it was just meant to look like the actual Shark.

Chessington have been putting alot of new merch out recently, so to go with the Thorpe Park one might as well start a topic! Alot of the new merch has also appeared at Alton and Thorpe, eg. Those weird ride face keyring things and loads of pin badges, however Chessie have put some good stuff out including a lovely magnet feat. Dragon's Fury, Vampire, Black Buccaneer, Kobra, Scorpion Express and Zufari, a new Vampire mug (which is nowhere near as good as the last one), a mug with that promotional image they always use at the start of the adverts and stuff, and alot of Adventure Tree merch. So things are going very well merch wise at Chessington.

Really like that Stealth one and the X one. Interesting they called Thorpe Shark "Thorpe Hotel".

Went on just now. Theres some new lights in the snake section - it's as dark as it was before with some twinkling lights in the grass. Meanwhile, surprise surprise, the mist screen still wasn't working. Neither was the Gruffalo's eyes in that scene or the audio.

Although I cant say I want it, given previous investments I can see Weymouth's log flume replacing it. And for those unaware, this is Weymouth's log flume. Yes, the ride is about as tall as me

Think I've mentioned it before but every time Ive been to AT in the last two years Ive heard people looking for the entrance for Air, I like to imagine them walking around FV until closing time Oh, and the small 7 or 8 year old boy trying to explain the rides to his mum and many siblings (I assume). "What's Nemesis?" "It's like a Haunted House with guns you shoot people with" "And what's Hex?" "Thats a Haunted House aswell"

Very sudden, very sad. RIP Cheick, everyone will remember that goal against Arsenal.

Terrorists bombed innocent people at a concert in our country, and our response is to hold an even bigger concert in the same city. This is the best country in the world. Also, say what you want about Ariana Grande's music but I have huge respect for her, and I'm not sure you'll come across someone who doesn't after all this.

What day?

Well that lasted long.

Yeah it's not going to happen today. Earlier I was up for it but I've got a huge headache and gone really dizzy - maybe tomorrow.

This is my favourite part of it. I'm not the ride's biggest fan but the story is told really well.

Trust me, us Brentford fans know how you feel. We'll be losing at Wembley this time next year, again.

@Ryan You might want to skip the last post. Certainly didn't expect that at the beginning of the season.

I'm trying to build a better park than the last few I've made, but the biggest problem I seem to be having is there are tonnes of theming items but not many themes. People have made great stuff simply by improvising but for people like me who aren't great yet it can be hard to build things like Horror or Spooky rides, Oriental or things like that. So far my best themed area is a Jungle area that contains nothing but plants and rocks.

Speaking of... I'm going to Thorpe on Saturday. So, I can either wait til next Wednesday and ride the Smiler, because height and drops are what scares me the most and The Smiler's aren't that bad so I've heard, or ride one of the rides at Thorpe.

Ah okay then. In that case, where's the best place to sit for someone going on for the first time?

Where is the designated RAP seat on The Smiler?

Any terror attack is awful. But attacking harmless, innocent and defenceless kids some younger than me is downright sickening. The fact that anyone would even think of this makes me want to leave this planet as a whole. If killing people who haven't even had the chance to live half of their life makes you proud you are an evil human being. I've also seen some vile stuff about Muslims. Calling to deport every last one is bad enough, but asking for all Muslims in this country to be shot and killed is crossing the line, and the exact sort of violence youre trying to stop. Meanwhile Katie Hopkins calling for a "final solution" is disgraceful, but considering who said it maybe I shouldn't be so surprised. I know many a Muslim who has never and would never hurt a soul. My thoughts are with the families of those who have died, those injured and those who have had to witness this. I feel very sorry for Ariana Grande too, but my prayers are not with the "Arianators". My prayers are with the victims.

Trust me if promotion is your ambition you really really really dont want Uwe Rosler as your manager.

Good lord, I thought my park was sort of okay until I saw this how do you do it?

I like the purple for Vampire, but as the track colour? Ew.

I don't care what happens in the final, just please smash Fulham for us.

So Ive had this game for a few days and I absolutely adore it. I'm currently working on a park called Tropicana Springs and its definetly my best yet. So far there isnt much, only two areas with one being the entrance And the other being a pirate area with a currently unnamed log flume, themed around a battle between pirates and redcoats. The theming isnt finished yet. The area also includes a Whirly Rig which I have yet to theme and a pirate ship. Now, this is where I need some help. I have an Intamin Giga that I quite like the layout of but I have no idea what to theme it around. I dont think I want it to be pirate themed, I want it to be in its own themed area with one other ride it can interact with. Any ideas anyone?
