Again, it never was a ride it first competition. None of the competition details says YOU WILL BE THE FIRST.

The old system was open to abuse. This system is only on eight of the rides anyway, and if the park wasn't busy you would have had, what a 5 minute wait for the next ride anyway. So by the time you had got off Vampire your time would have expired anyway. Just because a person may be disabled does not that mean they automatically get to go on more rides then people without disabilities. If some groups had not abused the older system then this one would have not have been bought into place.

I must be the only one that thinks that Thorpe's lakeside location is beautiful and shouldn't be so easily disregarded.

Thank you for repeating what I said a few posts back.

I think those pictures on the Thorpe Park site are staff.

Basically because of the flying position and the way the body is restrained, doing an inversion such as a dive-loop or a Vertical loop would probably kill all its riders. I've never done a pretzel loop but I have heard from a lot of people that they are very forceful elements.. and actually quite painful to go through.

Is the answer, he cuts off one of his arms and some of his body fat.

This is in relation to no ones ideas but it makes me so glad enthusiasts aren't in charge of Thorpe. Some of the ideas are just way to out there. But I like the imagination of some peoples thoughts.

Your wish is our command, god you lot are fussy

I'd say theres either someone (or a group of people) having a blatant joke at Thorpe Park fans expense or just a case of Chinese Whispers. Lest we forget the news that Samurai being rethemed for 2009 came from a well respected member and nothing came of that.

It didn't happen. I belief Stealth has a lot of issues at the moment, however at this point just relax and prepare for a pleasurable experience, there is no cause for concern.As for the Stealth ride take-over, I presume if it's not open you guys will just do it on something else.

I'm going to go with Slammer but very close.Chessington North or Chessington South?

Hey limecrusha1, welcome to our humble forums.(On a side note I added so many Colossus variants to the word filter and yet there's still ways that can be done of spelling it wrong )

You can organize a meet on Sunday if you want but it won't be with the TPM admins (apart from Marc, he'll be there all week...).

See ya at 12 then

That map is absolutely gorgeous!Twirling Toadstools

Apparently I'm going

I'm here to make the first emotional post (lol)Rodeo was fantastic. I first rode it August 1999 and it instantly became a favourite. Dynamo and Breakdance No.1 were/are far better but Rodeo was always a special ride for me. Alex, me and several others got the last ride on it in 2004 and it's a ride I really miss. What really annoyed me about its removal is the way it wasn't really removed for ages, just left to rot on site and behind Mexciana. A bad end to one of Chessington's original rides. And one of the best rides it ever had. 2004 may have seen the addition of one of the UK's best rollercoasters but it also saw the removal of one of its best rides.

Well I mentioned on SP, but you know whatever !

That STOP sign was waiting to be put up on a wall/fence etc

If you wanted to be majorly pedantic you could say they are riding it a maximum of 20 hours before everyone else gets the chance. I'd rather go when everything else (should) be open because otherwise its a waste of petrol for me

Questions to Thorpe Park should start again after all the buzz around Saw has died down.We'd like to welcome back Cringle to TPM as admin. King Cringle, as he is otherwise known.
