Thank god for laziness then ey. They indirectly created the best entrance to a theme park in the country that way.

God, even if it was built now you wouldn't be riding the damn thing for another 5 months anyway.

The amazing thing about that Sidders, is that caller has been on WWTP since 2000. So either Thorpe are tying in something excellently or it's just a big coincidence. Either way it's something that most enthusiasts haven't cottoned on to, good work SIdders friend.

See, I don't have so much of a problem with Charlie.. although in saying that the ride has got worse recently. For instance the Blueberry woman (can't remember her name) has no head whereas previously she did. Very odd to say the least..

See those queue times are the exception, not the rule. It is rare for Fury, Vampire and Bubbleworks to have those queue times for a full 8 hours in the day. Whilst I agree that ride investment is required, it's not due to queue times being excessively long around the park.. it's just not the case.

I love the Zoo, very under-rated. I'm glad they are working on the Monkey and Bird area, I always feel that the cages are to small for the animals they keep. It always amazes me how big the Zoo is actually. If you factor in the Zoo and the Park and all the shows going on around the park, Chessington can easily become a two day park.. just depends on whether you like animals or not. I would want to see the Trail of the Kings area become larger though, there's no way the enclosures are sizeable enough for the animals they hold. And I'd want to see animals like giraffes added to Wanyama. As the best animal in the world it deserves a place at Chessington. Make it so!

I think its the largest scale marketing campaign in this country since Oblivion. And that is really saying something. Thorpe haven't missed a beat with the way Swarm has been promoted thus far. Fake turrets and sign positioning excluded, Thorpe cannot be faulted for what they are doing. It's a far cry from the simple banners that Inferno and Stealth got.

Haven't yet...

Yeah, sorry about doing that on a discussion forum TPGG. Maybe closed sentences and rhetorical questions are the way forwards.

Ok guys. Imagine you are a member of the public. You walk into a theme park, Colossus, Inferno, Saw and Stealth reaching into the skies like claws in the sand. And then, a tank and a sign declaring their next big ride for 2012 greets you immediately as you enter the park. Thats more then publicity, thats a statement saying, yes we have these big rides but whats coming will blow everything else away.If you are just a normal, one day at a theme park in a year kinda guest you see this and you'd be astounded. You wouldn't be thinking "but the position of the sign detracts from the tank itself". Because apart from the minority on here, who cares. They have a BIG TANK, they have ACTORS STOPPING LES GETTING INTO THE SWARM SITE, they have a GREAT BIG SIGN FOR SWARM. This is on a scale that thorpe has never achieved in the past.I'm all for adjectivity, but criticism for criticism's sake is ludicrous.

What if they move away? Or live far away? Or move country? Or you move school/ college/country and will never see them again. Don't be so insular.

Does what it says on the tin. To get the ball rolling..Haha, it's a shed.

B&M. You guys, seriously. For years you've been building hyper after hyper coaster and suddenly, you reach the 2010's and you throw wilder and wilder and mroe and more rides at us. From Starry eyed Ripper to Parc Asterix's new one its crazy to think of the B&M dominance for next year.So many projects. Can't wait

People who are unable or unwilling to speak their mind when they have a problem. Stop using social networking to get your mesages across and get some confidence to say it to a person. Hiding behind words on the internet is the cowardly way out isn't it.....

:D

if it wasn't for the City of London Taxi ride I wouldn't give Maddame Tussauds the time of day. It's quiet dead on opening but thats about.

Intamins are pretty disappointing in general though Jack

Somebody did die, that German officer.

Doctor Who and the never quite dying characters. Could do a shot game on Moffatts series couldn't you, but you'd be plastered before the end of The Eleventh Hour.

I want to be optismistic about names. I love the idea of something imaginative not just three basic words strung together, words I'd normally see in a action movie.So I am going to be optimistic. Maybe Saw Alives fire earlier in the year wasn't just an accident and they plan to sail it to the middle of the lake and blow it up. Now THAT would seriously tempt me to go. So listen up Thorpe, do it.

Just throwing it out tis all. Although the idea of an Inverter, a Wing rider, a hyper and a Dive Machine hitting Europe next year feels delightful.

So I was just reading this Rollercoaster Philosophy review of Chessington and he's got Chessington's pros and cons absolutely spot on. I did feel rather humbled though that despite the parks problems, he called Vampire and Dragons Fury excellent rollercoasters and the best in their classes.
