It truely is horrific, it's one of those things that will be with me for the rest of my life like September 11th. Seeing that wave rush through Japan, seeing houses, cars, boats, trains just being pushed aside and knowing people are being wiped out instantly, It's awful and I think people should do whatever they can to help the Japanese.

This is an attrocious day to be honest. There's reports of over 200 bodies washed up on a Japanese beach and at this point in time an entire train is completely missing. A ship with over 100 people on board is also missing.That body count is just going to rise and rise to.

Can people who can't walk ride things like Colossus and Saw? If you can't walk or are blind then thats the only situation where you'd need two carers. I wouldn't have thought rides staff would be allowed to manhandle people as they aren't even allowed to lift people into ride cars or seats.

A volcano in Indonesia has also begun to erupt following the earthquake.http://www.forbes.com/feeds/ap/2011/03/11/general-as-indonesia-volcano_8350822.html

Triple post whammy!How's everyones Pokemon games going so far? I've just finished the league and to celebrate getting the national dex I caught Kangaskhan. Whoo!Current Team:-

Some extremely scary things are happening right now with any countries with a Pacific coastline currently on Tsunami alert after an earthquake just off the coast of Japan. If you go onto BBC's news website you can see videos of the wave that hit Japan, devastating, like a wall of destruction slamming through the countryside.Japan's biggest earthquake and the 5th biggest earthquake in the world since 1900.

This. The cars were just as part of the experience as the music, the theme, the area.

Thank you for sharing that Benin. I don't know why I justify my fondness for the park really. All I'd have to show is that video and say no more.Wonderful wonderful place

I'd hate to be a Thorpe Park/Chessington ride host this year. One helper on rides, fastrack on baby rides.*puts bread in oven.Now thats a career

Thats my main memory of the old Vampire, more so then riding it.Seeing the old Bats swoop over MCDonalds and off round the tower. That's what theme parks are about.

Someone once called me a Chessington fanboy. That made me mad because I'm not. If they do something crap I'll say it. For instance adding fastrack to jumbos, toadies and truckers. I called that the worst decision Chessington could possibly make. A fanboy, surely would spout rubbish like "they are a business, they're allowed to do what they want, who cares about a few annoyed people."

true that. You'd think the Mine Train ran under Nemesis if you used that map.

CUTE! That lift hill is so speedy.

No it doesn't. Vampire looks disguting, Colossus just looks faded.

God.. that event really makes me think actually. I'm not going to it obviously, but I mean Vampire in UK theme park terms is ancient now.It's been ten years since it was closed for a whole year.. ten years without the bat trains. I might cry.

In other news Pokemon White has outsold Pokemon Black.Coincidence?!

Yes but for reasons other then the restraint system on it.

Most members here never rode Corkscrew and a lot ride Colossus begrudgingly. Rita's okay, I mean my main problem with it is the slightly blase layout more then any roughness.

You could say that about every single game to be honest, just an improvement on the genre on whatever has happened before.They have added a hell of a lot since the red and blue days, the games have completely changed. But people only see that theres another 150 pokemon added and use that against the game, ignoring that a lot of these new guys are very good. (There never was a Zebra pokemon before Treeis )

My team at just after the second gymLevel 19Level 16Level 18Level 18Level 17Level 18I'm taking my time on this play and experimenting. I'm trying out different typings and getting away from the formulas I was using for the other four gens. So far so good.

Several posts to late with that comment I'm afraid

Nope, I wouldn't ever want to ruin the magic or give tips on Europa Park. It's all about exploration and finding things out for yourself.

No, thats called missing your target audience actually
