At work I always get the "can I pay here thing"which of course is fine if I didn;t have several loaves to weight, a counter to clean, hot food to probe and check, an oven beeping at me because the sausage rolls are cooked and a time of day shelf to date check.And you want to pay here with your trolly full of fruit and veg which I can't weigh because my scales aren't connected to my checkout. Cheers babe.

The Blue Barnacle (Previously Black Buccaneer)
There is a set time honey, the op can choose to stop it whenever they want but most of the time it stops by itself

But they are getting rid of the water if they're tipping the boats.. are they not doing that anymore?

Thorpe Park Trip Reports
A contradiction in terms, surely?!

Closed Rides
The undesiables may notice the plug during the ride and decide to open it when the boats floating back to the station.It would be a 21st century version of the Titanic.

Closed Rides
Those hoovers are useless to be honest. It would take about 20 minutes to clean Sea Dragons with those sodding hoovers so in all honesty I'm not surprised they've gone for tipping the boats instead.

Chessington General Discussion
Because it is the most dangerous, intense Maurer spinning rollercoaster ever created and the sheer force and speed of more then two people in a car WILL kill people.(Or Chessington are over-cautious zealots who for some reason, refuse to get their ride sorted out so unlike sister rides Tarantula, Sonic Spinball and Salama, has to have a ridiculous two people per car rule whenever the heavens decide to open)

Tips For A Northerner?
My very easy guide to getting the best out of Thorpe ParkGo to Stealth first, then Rumba and Nemesis Inferno. Make your way back through the park hitting Detonator, Tidal Wave, Flying Fish and the Lost City four. Then go back round towards Colossus, Saw and Samurai. Thats the best way to go round Thorpe.

Chessington World of Adventures - 2011 Meet - 11th April
The idea of a perfect theme park trip?Awesome people to spend the day with?Good weather?Low queue times?Yeah that was today in a nut shell and the meet for me was a complete success of fun times and excellence. The park itself were excellent hosts with full ride availability, no visible (or seen) ride breakdowns and moderate queue lengths (about 30 minutes max for Vampire). Chessington is for me the perfect park for meet ups. So many rides there are designed for interactivity and groups to enjoy themselves. Monkey Swinger, Dodgems, Tomb Blaster, Buccaneer, Kobra, Runaway Train are all perfect group rides.I just enjoyed the whole trip. My best theme park since Europa Park I'd say. Thanks to Mikey for organizing the meet and on the day itself and Ian for his team leading skills.

I think this is one of those call in sick moments.- SAW: Alive
I'm not against the attraction, I just don't think it adds much to the park.Long queues don't make a good attraction.- Th13teen
Dude thats not a compliment!- SAW: Alive
All I could think was "at least it wasn't a relavant... or interesting... or entertaining... or fun... or worthwhile attraction that burnt".- Rant
I'm with a friend. I'm walking down the street. Two people are walking towards me. I move out of their way.Eventually I get tired of being the polite and courteous one and decide, for the next two people, one of them can move.They don't.They end up smacking into the side of me.WHY DON'T YOU BE POLITE AND COURTEOUS AND MOVE OUT OF THE WAY INSTEAD OF STICKING TO YOUR TWO IN A ROW AGENDA- Disabled Queuing Rules
I don't think you have a clue what you're on about.- Th13teen
What if you like family rollercoasters, didn't buy any of the hype and still hate it?- Heide Park

I've been asked to quote my original post again. Last time AdamY came up with the Colossus fountain and that was it. Anyone else want to have a go at showing some genuinely outstanding theming that works. - How Busy Is It Going To Be?
