I didn't know the Detonator three click challenge was illegal Hmm.. To be honest the seatbelts would do very little. Some B&M's for instance such as Dragon Khan don't have them. They seem to be a peace of mind measure more then a "it will save your life" measure. That being said there's no reason you would undo the seatbelt anyway.

I should have rephrased what I said to be honest. Rita and Air are the only closed rides that matter. Not many people like Submission and Enterprises are very common.

LETS GO SEE A PLAY! You guys are way to Merlin orientated
-
What are we doing.. then I'll let you know.
-
Yes well.. it could be like that all season and I wouldn't notice.

Corkscrew's being taken down this week so I think its just a case of it not being a priority. It was also closed at this years Hullabaloo.

Alton towers have announced (via brochure) what rides will be available at Half term Hullabaloo * Oblivion * Hex * Doodle Doo Derby * Tractors * River Bank Eye Spy * Berry Bish Bash * Dung Heap * Singing Barn * Squirrel Nutty Ride * Spinball Whizzer * Runaway Mine Train * Duel * Blade * NemesisOnly Air and Rita missing really. Not a bad selection

To be honest I'm really confused by this. Either Theme Park bloke is accusing the operators or incompetence or.. well I have no idea. So in conclusion, to stop this circle which doesn't make sense can we have no more posts on this. Thanks

His point is that they should have let the train go all the way round instead of E-stopping it on the lift hill.
-
Congratulations, you have just failed your ride test. Do not pass go, do not collect 200 pounds. If there is any risk at all, even slightly remote, you e-stop it. If someone had been seriously injured or even worse killed on Colossus the park would take the buck for the incident but it would be ultimately the operators fault. An E-stop is far safer then letting the train complete its journey regardless of how much time it takes to evacuate the train.

Nah, they don't make their own rides anymore. Unless the self proclaimed worst ride ever Pepsi Max was manufactured by Blackpool locals...

Keep it in the family mate

Why is it Europa Park can build a whole road in about two weeks and yet the people doing the roadworks near my house have taken over 3 months and still aren't finished

Manta Up-date*sighs*. Looks so good

People definitely need lessons in how to use the rolling eye smiley properly..

Aww. I always that that was just awesome theming. Darn
Realistically it needs to change though. Chessington's basic infrastructure works around rides that are really starting to age now. Merlin have already proved they are not afraid to remove the relics what with the removal of Corkscrew, so I'm really starting to hope major changes occur at Cwoa. The majority of rides there are over twenty years old and the park is crying out for some up-dating.
They are annoyed in strictly because hes staying in over people that are far more talented. The argument is that obviously the public pay the license fee and should vote for who they like not for the best person. So really its up to you
How do you know that they didn't find out and e-stopped it straight away. After-all its not as if a Colossus operator is stationed right next to the first drop. I doubt they thought they'd stop it half way up the lift for a laugh either. Sometimes I cannot believe some of the claims people come out with.
She won't be back, don't worry Will, that's a very odd thing to want. You do know that the first ride will be exactly the same as every other ride on it yeah?
It's odd because was down for 2-3 nights, but majority of the time it was open.
Well to be honest who knows. The more important thing here is that a problem was noticed, the staff took the correct procedures and everyone was safe.(or for a more ruder response, how many rides do you operate Theme Park Bloke?)
