In 2003 it used to be on Inferno and ColossusIn 2004 it was moved into Lost City so depending on what rides were ready you could get on Vortex, Quantum, Zodiac and Depth Charge before the park opened.It hasn't been seen at Thorpe since.

Life's not fair, get over it. Instead of bitching about Jade (who by the way, will not be getting any of this money as she seems to be.. erm.. dead), how about actually being thankful that she made the public so much more aware of the dangers of cervical cancer. Something like 25% more went to get themselves checked out then before because of public awareness. That's far more important then the way she went about getting money for her kids.My mum had cancer, if she went public about it who would care.. no one because as Alex has always said, like it or not Jade was a well known, famous person.

Why would people make it up...

Well not really. I've had some astounding rides on Storm, but there is only about two cups that are actually decent, the rest are stiff as anything and barely move. No, if you want to guarantee a decent ride, Maurauders Mayhem at Alton is the better ride with effects and a soundtrack and all the cups spin a hell of a lot.As for Vortex, it's a decent ride and I'll never understand the hate that people have for it these days.

I'd rather have some misguided posts then the bitching that comes from your posts.

Alton Towers 100% of the time had all rides available (Park open for 5 days)Chessington, 100% of the time had all rides available (Park open for 5 days)32% doesn't sound so good now does it...Information obtained from chessington.com and altontowers.com, as well as having worked at Cwoa since open day)

That Rich is bloody awesome at Berries, I agree!(thanks themeparkmad )

Is it sad that the only things I picked up from that was that there are more then two B&M inverters outside of America and that Thorpe Park just defied there own disabled policy.... if they were in fact disabled

Pathetic. Really pathetic and shocking.

Pathetic.

And as I have said before SPINNERS DON'T WORKSPinball is next to Oblivion, SPinball always has the longer queueTarantula is next to Abismo, Tarantula always has the longest queueWinjas is next to the whole of Phantasialand, Winjas always have the longest queue.IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW MANY RIDES YOU PUT NEXT TO SPINNERS, THEY ALWAYS HAVE THE LONGEST QUEUES BECAUSE OF THEIR LOW THROUGHPUT PER HOUR.

Fixed

Why did you go against when Staff were asing you to leave for your own safety. Would you say No I'll stand up and you will move it if you were in a burning car..

Oh no..

Spinning rollercoasters, as I've said before, are meant as support rollercoasters but always end up with the longest queues in the park. There is no point adding one.

It shouldn't be a miracle, parks should always have all their rides open.

An easier way of doing things is to travel from Clapham to Surbiton via the replacement buses then jumping on the 71 or the 465 to the park. The bus to Chessington South takes a very long time (can take over 2 hours).

Fury's drives only go one way as if they were able to be reversed that would be a bit.. dangerous. There is only one part of the ride where staff are able to manually unlock the cars and turn them round and unfortunately the cars only stop there during an alignment gate tripment.

Ah okay, I think I'm with you.Basically it would be impossible to work out which way you are going to come into the station until it's in the station. What I'm basically saying here is that it would be unfair on the other guests waiting for the ride if the ride was essentially E-stopped to turn your car around. As the staff gave you another ride, I'm sure that's more then enough compensation for not being able to get out from Fury.

Sounds like you had a good day =)What was your Fury complaint about?

Very much agree. Chessington may not have got anything for a while and whilst this year has only seen revamps, I think what they have done has been very much over-due. With the park having 100% ride reliability from the word go and judging by the excellent up-time seen at the park today, this could be Chessingtons best season, for a very long time.

And by at least Sunday I hope you meant all season.

Ah ok, so the day I went, I can blame Mondial, Gerstlauer, Vekoma, Mack, Intamin (X3), S&S and whoever the hell built the Canada creek Railway. That's a lot of manufacturer hate right there.

And then there's walking from Colossus to Inferno and only having Rocky Express open.I'm sorry, how anyone can forgive nine rides closed at once on the first full open day of the season is beyond me. It's not turning my back, it's voting with my feet.

Why? It's Thorpe delivering a crappy day out, not S&S, if their rides aren't available.
