Haha same, got every episode of desperate housewives ever on my pc.. and always download when the next is available :DOho and I'm susan.. though I would never be so ruling over my children (nor so clumsy )!

He'll be in the 1st carriage towards the rear next to the disabled loos. I'll be in the 2nd carriage lurking.

No wonder its not permenant.. sounds fun though

Zoo only from like the 3rd.. will be open all year around now. Like they planned last year before sealife appeared

Ahh so not working then? :PSounds like a good plan though (oh its taken directly from national rail website.. cheeky git!)

The bus to surbiton will be about 10,000x quicker than one to chessie though. Did the bus from clapham to surby in 20mins, would've taken over an hour from clapham to chessie.

You gonna go via surbiton? Should be much much much easier (if anything, just a bus to surby then bus out from clapham)

Wow. No talking thing whilst everyones sitting down getting ready then?

Boobies to everything.

Ooh what do you do with eurostar?

Aha yeah, your daughter is quite cool rly.As for me.. I've applied for Waitrose > because I love their social responsibility and working in a supermarket would be well cool!!Southern Railway > Cos I'm a "freak" and find it "cool" to work on the trains.Southeastern Railway > Cos of the same above ^^ < Dont worry, I'm not that much of a freak..Love you all.. not really, thats a joke and I'm just being nice to you all.

Why ride it then?!

I'm sure every guy knows that feeling..

Just to correct you there - Rita was copied from Stealth idea. Took thorpe a few years to plan for stealth, and halfway through rita took most of the design stages and did it in a few months.

Becoming more Jon Emmony by the day.

Thats why you use your noggin rather than a piece of s**tty equipment. Its bloody signposted to M25!

Time for general photos: Seastorm has been recladded after it basically fell off last season. The bins seem to be new, and hold a "litter" sign. Vampire pond has been cleaned out (ish). Cadbury castle is now very.. blue. Will it become a Nestle castle? A new mexicana THEMED games unit.Childrens Zoo is very unopened, nor really.. finished: Sealife! Is a bit.. well its okay, you queue then go into this extremely pointless and empty room which says some "safety" announcements before allowing you to proceed. Not as interesting as other sealifes I've been to.. probably will be better once the fish have grown a bit. The sealife had maps to brighton sealife though (the layout of that centre and whats in it) which we found completely random and.. pointless. Here's an unflattering picture of outside:Overall my day was great, the staff were quick, the place was clean and tidy.. and refreshed, better looking than had done for a while now.And finally.. on the other side of the Burger King, Burger King, Burger King.. is a flash from the past. Any retro Chessie fanboys remember/have a clue what this actually says?:

So onto some rides:Vampire queueline looks fantastic. Basically, the rides TLs decided to get rid of the bricks and put down woodchips.. what an effect its made. Its gorgeous. Not only that, they've added in some theming.. shown below . To compare to last year: Also, in the "tunnel" bit in the queueline, they've cut some lovely holes in the wall, and put some theming in there! The ride itself was running fantasticly fast.. the staff were putting a hell of a lot of effort into making the dispatch times mentally quick, I couldn't have done better myself (considering I used to work on it..). The bars in the station have been painted professionally.. a lovely deep purple. Only problem I have with vampire is this:.All queues are like 5mins max apart from fury which was about 20mins. Bubbles closed (as we knew ), Fury kept shutting down and Falls was evacuated and not reopened again.. wonder whether that'll open again soon.

Went to Chessington today (naturally), and got some photos of the interesting things (not like new wood on the fences, towersnerd ).. APOLOGIES FOR THREE POSTS. Too many photos apparently :POn entering, I noticed that the globe was spinning again in the ticket queue.. a nice touch, glad to see that moving (first time I've seen it do that!)Out of deciding which is more interesting out of the two new things at chessington, I decided to head straight for Burger King first.Burger King, Burger King, Burger King.. (note: Bubbleworks EXP sign has moved to a better position). A nice repaint, and I'm glad the Counts Caldron has remained.. it looks good. (Also a cash machine, which became rare sights last year.. free). The inside looks very nice, with only the scary trees remaining (I believe). The staff were well suited as well, with lovely little drawn on fangs.. The only problem I had with Burger King was that I counted 36 (36!!) members of staff just behind the tills.. consisting of till people, food collector people and bout 5 plain clothed managers. So many that noone actually was able to move anywhere. The brand new chairs are very nice as well.

Oh wells

Probably more fun than thorpe park, if you chose to go there for some absurd reason ;P

Unless someone wants to go halfies on me with a BOGOF.. then nopey

I want to get rid of my shoes atm after they've almost fallen to pieces due to constant everyday use. Only problem is I cant find a suitable replacement .
