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?

Weight thing. To much on one and the boat ends up crashing into the end (was the most fun part of it actually!)

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.

A lot of people are. We don't single out anyone.- Closed Rides
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.- Thorpe Blast Mini Meet! Sunday 9th November

After seeing what 12 million bought us with Stealth......- Alton Towers Trip Reports
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.- Random

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- This Or That
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- Random

Guys try and keep this off the forum, we don't want it to look like there's an inner chessie staff war do we (Although why is it Area 1 staff always tell people they can use there bubbleworks express tickets at Fury, or tell them that they can go on different RAP rides even if they are supposed to wait an hour)- Vampire
God that says a lot... It would have had a queue anyway, 14,000 isn't exactly a walk on to rides number- Your Sexuality

Are you being sarcastic or do you genuinely believe its great. (How about using the rolly eye smiley properly!)- Thorpe Park Trip Reports
That's exactly the problem with fastrack. It's actually a means to reduce the queuing time but its sold to guests as a beat the queues, walk straight onto the ride which creates the problem. Technically if you buy fastrack you still get on the ride much faster then the other queue. For it to even be 45 minutes, the main queue must be approaching at least 2 hours. - Rant
