    Just read James Hepburn's message to you... and its frightening

  2. I may be wrong.. but where has any of this been said?
  3. Vampires is about 1000 yeah. The track wouldn't be able to support four seats in a row and besides there wouldn't be the clearance for that. It was built in a time when 2 a row was the norm. I think a major problem with Vampire is that when it goes it will be very hard for Chessington to replace. It upset the locals something chronic with the old trains which is why CWOA has lacked so much investment of late. Its hard to get anything built so rides that are there are, well built to last.

    Eclipse

    I think you're replacing the word always with rarely there. It goes down in adverse weather but majority of the time works fine.
  5. The queue on open day was maximum of 5 minutes.. I'm thinking joke account..

    Breakdance Number 1If you ever get the chance to ride this.. do it. Gives many UK rides a run for their money.

    Buzzsaw would have been an awesome name.VK or WKD?
  8. Weight thing. To much on one and the boat ends up crashing into the end (was the most fun part of it actually!)
  9. I think to be honest, the long queue is purely down to the frankly abysmal throughputs the ride has. In the last three years they've even introduced that rule that teens can't ride together. So sometimes only four people are going down at a time which is so pathetic its unreal. Its a ride that has no place at a theme park that regularly attracts 10,000 people.

    That's ok, I was probably drunk anyway :D

    Eclipse

    I liked Eclipse. It had such a great name and was a pretty big step away from Inferno and Quantum. I do think its a shame it only lasted two seasons but then again it wasn't the right place for it really.

    Rocky was actually a little bit earlier, but yes you are right. IT SHALL BE CHANGED IN DUE COURSE!
  13. A lot of people are. We don't single out anyone.
  14. Colossus has quite a few evacuations from the lift hill. I've seen a good few and I rarely go. I remember one on Stealth's opening day in 2006. In fact come to think of it I rarely see the two of them open at the same time.
  15. oh my god.. COCKFOSTERS My Favourite underground station :D

  17. After seeing what 12 million bought us with Stealth......
  18. Went up for the Farewell Corkscrew event. I think emotional is pushing it but there was something definitely odd about the trip. Got there about opening time and ended up in the Corkscrew Hall of Memories first. Lots of Corkscrew memorabilia and posters dedicated to Corky, certainly hit home what an icon it was back in its day. They were selling Corkscrew posters and Corkscrew last day T-shirts. I would have bought one but.. well.. didn't want to.Headed to Nemesis which, as always was awesome. Air was great too although had a 5 minute silence for remembrance day in the station. Very surreal as normally its all hustle and bustle. Duel was as great as always, Blade was well crap, RMT fun, Marauders Mayhem awesome, Oblivion off the scale, Spinball good, Rita painful in the rain and then theres Corkscrew. I've written a few things for a feature I've written. Nonetheless today was all about Corkscrew. Empty train on Rita, 10 minute queue for Corky. Even though its apparently rough, crap and awful, today it was like so many year ago, the main attraction. Quite frankly it deserves it. I feel a bit gutted now actually.

    Corkscrew

    I think I saw you. Was an odd kind of day actually. I enjoyed them but riding Corkscrew, knowing it was my last time was really bizarre.

    Last night was the best Chessington party I've ever been to and I am so sad that a lot of them I'll never work with again. Whenever you say you work at a theme park all people ask you is what is it like working on the rides. They are fun but like everything in life it is always about the people. This year I'm so upset to be leaving all the friends I've made.So yeah.. me is

    Omg. Did you call two stalwarts of the coaster industry crap. Trains and Buses are both as bad as each other. Trains because they either leave too early or arrive really late or buses which get horrendously packed and can't cope with demand.Red B&M's or Blue B&M's
