ARGH!Right, time for Mark to avoid this topic from now on.Blipverts I can take, obscure pictures of Rita, fine. But actual secret bits.. no no.

After careful deliberation I have decided to come to this amazing TPM event.I'll bring the beer* *There will be no beer drinking, just good innocent fun

Marc on a screensaver? now I've seen everything =P!

You could sayyou queued to soon

Whats wrong with having a longer ride..

First I was like Then I was like And then I thought Why get everything else so right and then take away the best element of the ride.

It's along the road that runs parallel to the park, the one that goes to the Twynersh.

And I really don't want to know who you've been talking to, to gain pointless information like that

And if you were being ultra picky there also used to be little lights on 'Tidal' as well. But that would be ultra picky and it's brilliant that one aspect of Tidal waves broken theming works again.

The only thing I don't understand is why it's always tidal wave that gets these dodgy sponsorships. They have all these unthemed rides in the park like rush and slammer and yet it's always Tidal being pissed on with slogans and corporate logos.

And I am just pointing out the only time I ever saw a 700 throughput was on 8 cars and a ride with single rider.

Right, and how often do you have a ride that wants to work, staff that are on the ball, guests that are ready and on the ball, all seats filled, all bags and shoes and stuff on exit platforms.I worked there for five years and saw that once at Fury...

I love it. Gaga videos are just mad.

So is Beyonce

Guests being slow is one factor, the other being even if you run the ride perfectly, it just cannot get that throughput because the ride isn't capable of doing it. The final thing is the ride faulting. A lot of the time on Fury for example was drive over-speed which would just cut the drive out.

Right... Dragons Fury's target is 700 which is nigh on impossible, Vampire's is 1000 where again is pretty impossible.Rememebr, those target things are absolute crap, the Carousel one for instance is 700, which works out at 10 rides an hour, every seat full and only a 90 second setting.And how often do you think all that happens..Vampire is the more popular ride, arguably Fury is a better ride experience.

I'd say thorpe is the only park where the map is slightly pointless... afterall you can just look up and see the ride you want...

I just went on google streetview and there seems to be a random post-it on the front of my houses front door.. How weird.

You mean like Alton did with Rita, Nemesis, Rapids, Hotels, Log Flumes, etc?

Awww. I like it a lot and I am glad it's purple, the old yellow always started looking disgusting after a few weeks so hopefully this will retain its colour for longer.

Wow.. what a retarded map. And I speak as someone who really liked the cartoonish map from the last two seasons.Thats just bloody awful.Edit:- Ok,. slight opinion change, the rides look awful but I love some of the little people around the park such as the alien by Inferno and the kick me sign guy near Rush.

^ has nice eyes.

If you didn't know about the 8 looping versions, would you say that its obvious (and that it shows) where Colossus came from?

Like driving past Thorpe Park, going up Monks Walk and visiting the Twynersh.FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN
