Looks unsafe to me.Is that a driving school there? Their cars look cute!

The Future Of Events
Thirteen event cost err... £110 or sommet? It was relatively cheap and worth it, and I paid.. and ultimately got money back!

Which Ride Do You Most Want To Go On?
Awkward.God knows, now.. Swarm (naturally), Wodan @ Europa Park, and err... I'd love to do dragon khan.

THE SWARM: Construction Updates
I'd imagine, if anything, that the wall would take a chunk out of the rider rather than the other way around.

THE SWARM: Construction Updates
Damn, how would you have coped with the 3hr queues that stealth created when that first opened?

Ride 14 - Stealth
Remember the mini-site? Don't need to remember when it still exists: http://stealth.thorpepark.com/

Jobs At Chessington
Yeah what mer said basically. Rides staff start at 9am, and you get your magic pass after your review (which should be 6 weeks - but don't count on it).Chessie does one unpaid 45min break during the day, unless the ride close is at 7pm.. in which case you get an extra 15mins I believe.Pretty much all you need to do - just relax, don't slate chessington, and be yourself and you'll be able to get the job easily

THE SWARM: Speculation & Theories
They could always put a motor on the blades - hell, even chessington has one on its windmill in Land of the Dragons (and how many non-ex employees knew about that?!)

THE SWARM: Speculation & Theories
Are these trains longer than the length of airs?

Jobs At Thorpe Park
Peoplebank don't allow applications from people under 16 anyway - so just apply when you become 16, there'll be jobs available over summer anyway

Legoland
The park is restricted to 16,000 nowadays. It used to be 22k, so you'll never get an incredibly stupid busy day again.

Europa Park
Wooo a station fly through
-
Europa Park
I don't care about the whole large girth thing, people shouldn't be so fat. It's disgusting and completely unfair on the staff who have to try and force them in or get them out (yes, try getting large people out of air in flying position, then try and not dislike all of them).Just new ride is wooo!

Watching Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy right now (yes, I'm in the right topic, its the old BBC tv series). This is such win!

THE SWARM: Speculation & Theories
Is there helicopter already on site?If there is, that'll be proof it'll be used. Sometimes "enthusiasts" wind me up, and this is one of those times.

Pets
Got a new dog today, and.. it's name is Fred.Bit of a mix when at home, dunno who they're calling. But it used to be called charlie (brothers name is charles), so they've changed it to my name.. due to lack of love or something.But yay, two dogs!

Not a fan of tracy beaker - but bloody love tracy beaker returns. It's amazing!

THE SWARM: Speculation & Theories
Indeed, it's unrealistic to expect actors around a coaster continuously throughout its life.The only thing which should've really stayed as it was is stealth DJ really. Mmm DJ.

Legoland
What I find weird is its a very throughput split in the park.You've got half the park which has awful throughputs (around 200-300 per hour) which is lego city, adventure land. Whereas the other side you've got rapids (1100pph on full capacity), pirate falls (650), Pirate Ship (600pph), Dragon (900 easily on 3 trains) and dipper (600 again).So if you go down right hand side at beginning of the day, guaranteed you'll get more rides in your day than if you went down hill train and down the left hand side of the park (thats unless you mess about all day!)
