No because the job advert is terrible, and considering all the other merlin parks pay.. its terrible.

Rant
What the bloody hell is that? Lets do a retro chessie one:Control to all units on this channel. The 2 o clock gate figure today is 34, thats three four. The gate figure at this time yesterday was 14,958. Thats fourteen thousand, nine hundred and fifty eight... and I cant remember the rest because of being brainwashed due to a certain other park.

Thirteen Weekend
This trip is only really worth it if you have 4 in a room btw, unless you're mega made of money!

Thirteen Weekend
I'm basically gonna book a room on monday. Anyone who pays me the £147.50 will be first come first served. However, I'm willing to buy 2 rooms!

Th13teen
No, they've done it on the logo and the tabs, all the promotional text is spelt right for god sake. If they were gonna seriously do it as Th13teen, then they would've written it like that everywhere like our beloved THORPE PARK. Let's not forget Se7en.

Th13teen
Its Thirteen for god sake, not Th13teen. This is pissing me off, stop being idiots! You can tell its spelt correctly due to all the sodding wording, if they were gonna write it otherwise then they would've.

10 years time?
10 years time will be different. It'll have changed depending on the yearly gate figures, the new innovative rides coming out, government legislation.. and other crap like that.The thing I dislike with these whole 10yrs time things is stating when you want a ride to go.. I know its fantasy but its just weird. Cos I totally know when I want thorpe park to close!

Th13teen
Rita merchandise was reduced all season. I bought a few rita pens for way less than half price in april/may.

Control Panels
Seems weird for an operator to need to see the queueline though? Must be like one of the only rollercoaster which can see its queue.

Getting To Legoland Windsor.
Or once again, talk to someone who knows what they are talking about.The local buses do fine, its way cheaper than a taxi, some are even coaches going from theatre street (basically down the road from riverside, and just ouside central station). Plus it gives you more options on the way home. Considering I used the buses fulltime for most of the year, I have to say they're not unreliable.Walking could be done and takes 30mins, but you really need to know where you're going. And it makes no difference which station considering you can walk between them both within 3mins.

Legoland
Or lets have an accurate future of legoland, eh?Rumours were it was Jungle Coasters last operating season, making way for the hotel in 2012, however it may be kept for an additional season. Hopefully it'll have gone, and good riddance.As for carparking, no way. They have not even hinted towards this, let alone any amazing rumours come out. Dunno how this person has heard about this.New for 2010 is Pirates Landing. Pirate Falls is having a refurbishment, with some interactive parts in the viewing area and the viewing area itself becoming more mutiny bay style. Rat Trap is being refurbished and the old disused area is being transformed into a lovely play area with "sunken" wooden pirate ships to play in. The pirate ship is appearing on the old picnic area, an exact replica of Chessingtons. The queueline is going where truck stop was. Finally, another thrill seeking ride! Poor old spinning spider is now apparently in the Land of the Vikings area.. however not rethemed. So the only ride to remind us of old Wild Woods it seems!The MTDP was released halfway through the year, with something like 8 new attractions in the next few years. Includes a sealife in the creation centre, extention to skyrider, a launched rollercoaster (believe it or not) from the miniland lawn towards hill train, a couple of family rides mainly around the pirates landing/knights kingdom area.

Legoland
Barely any have music there - I think Dragon is one of the only exceptions. Otherwise I seem to recall no music like anywhere.

Saw- Construction Thread
I'm just gonna say my throughput fact again, because it should shut everyone up (although it wont).Mack Seastorm advertises its throughput at 1,200pph. Would it ever honestly get anywhere near that? (http://www.mack-rides.com/lang-de/c140/default.html).EDIT: OMG IT SAYS 1,500pph LOL

Mack Seastorm ride advertises throughput at 1,200pph. It just will never ever happen.
