I kind of like the advert, although I've noticed a big trend with the Thorpe adverts is to show a lot of the park and not just the specific new ride.

Last week it was 17 degrees at Thorpe, sun shining brightly and very hot. Warmer then August will be anyway . The broken handle is one thing, however theres probably a reason for everything else.

As work has officially confirmed I have that Monday off, I can now definitly come.YAY, CHESSINGTON.

I still want Cyndaquil and Snivy though. give me

I get annoyed when people have to say "one last thing"IT'S NEVER THE LAST THING IF EVERYONE KEEPS CARRYING IT ON.

I think we could close this topic for anothear year to be honest.

Europa Parks Log Flume is also 1.2 metres. Baring in mind though, it was 1.2 metres last year

STORM SURGE, GET OFF MY SPOTIFY.YOU AREN'T EVEN A PROPER RIDE.

I can think of things worse then the tsunami.Like getting into cars where locks just disappear.

Vortex opened in June 2001. In March 2001 it was still a building site. Not its birthday yet.The current Zodiac is not the one that opened in 2001. Therefore, the pedant wins and it is Detonator only that celebrates its 10th birthday.

Thing is, in Merlins eyes, they had their years last year. The problem beingn this year, that yet again, Thorpe comes across as the favourite and gets another ride (regardless of how cheap or bad Storm Surge is), whilst Cwoa has to make do with two rethemed restraunts and Alton gets a sealife downgrade.I'm just tired of Chessington being a park that is constantly overlooked. There is absoultely no reason why, with significant investment, Chessington couldn't get 2 million visitors. With the right attractions and the right emphasis placed, Chessington could be a high flyer like Legoland. But Tussauds and now Merlin don't seem interested.If Chessington had looked like they;d had something done this year like new toilets or maybe if Skyway and Runaway train had significant work done to them then it would make sense. But no, Runaway still looks a disgrace and Skyway has the same old 80's rejects wobbling back and forth.

There's your answer.

Same.. except I never saw it closed

The thing is this restriction actually makes it in the ride stakes, more restrictive then Fury. That "if you are under 1.3 you must be accompanied by an adult" thing.If it does happens to Loggers, Thorpe are going to really struggle justifying it, at least Chessington has other family friendly rides...

True that. I'll just bring up Corkscrews excellent reliability then

Anyone fancy a bit of Alton Towers tomorrow?

I suppose really, the park shouldn't have reliability issues anymore because most of its rides are now over 5 years old. Back in like 2008 Thorpe could use the timeless excuse that its rides are new and are still throwing up unpredictable challenges. Not so anymore, loves

Yes you are being slightly pedantic as I think the sign fits in its new home fine. It's on a major pathway at the entrance to Amity Cove, works for me. The lights might come to, afterall, a week ago we didn't even know if the sign was going to reutrn.

I got wet on Rumba Rapids. It wins.Cats or Dinosaurs?

I know loads of you are well connected, so come on, why are all the water features on Storm Surge now off. The rides only been open a week and this week hasn't exactly been cold..

Hiding the shoes in the shadows or at the back of platform was also a constant source of fun.

The worst day. The best people.What a contradiction.

I've always found it interesting that Intamin do this process. Those are some pretty tasty looking trains actually and the theming is looking outstanding so far.Shame about the ugly Intamin tree track thing really, the rest looks great.
