    Your Setup

    I might buy a Mac, just so I can post my setup in this topic.
  2. Bloody Hell! Now tell me fastrack isn't ridiculous. How is that reducing any queues when its creating 2 and a half hours worth of queue for anyone who has the audacity not to stump up more money.Bloody disgrace.
  3. See, now I lose all respect for you.Why in the effing hell would they want to keep it shut. They were attempting to get it open on Friday.. however it wasn't to be. They then took several hours in the morning on Saturday to get it open.. which it did at 12.Why don't you get all the information and ask someone (for instance someone who works at Chessington) nstead of just assume they couldn't be bothered.

    Announcing Rich as a new moderator on the forums. Be nice to him.. he knows owls in high places. Seriously though..
  5. Yeah I know what you mean. If people said "I don't mind black people, I just don't want them around me" that would be called racist but if you said "I don't mind gay people, I just don't want them doing things near me" that's seen as perfectly acceptable.Nice one Tommy, now bring home all your gay friends and have big gay events...

    You said it does your head in but then you went and found a way of having a little dig at Windows anyway.

    Fastrack

    I think the thing with Alton's fastrack is that their rides can handle the system. Nemesis, Air, Oblivion and The Flume, The lowest one there is Nemesis and even that's 1200 which is an impressive number. Then look at Thorpe. They've got it on rides like Samurai and Vortex which are terrible at eating through people.Alton also have reliable rides (with the exception of Rita ) which means you are less likely to get everyone from Oblivion trying to go on Air for example. Alton have the system far better with much less tickets given out meaning there is less impact on the queue itself.Things like the Ultimate at Thorpe really do get on my nerves. For instance tpKabz for example. Riding Stealth 35 times. I mean was it really that different from the first or second time you rode it that day. I can understand the normal fastrack's parks sell but the ultimate really is one I don't like.
  11. You must have some terrible luck then! It's had 5 closed days this year making it one of the more reliable rides of the year.
  12. It wouldn't be because they've only just noticed it. It may be because something has happened on park.

  17. [obligatory it was a great trip, I loved every minute of it post] I'm sure you all had a great time. There's something so much better about a park at night then in the day.

    Corkscrew

    So are you saying old rides have no value and are useless rides....Your comment saying that none of your favourite rides are three decades old certainly implies this. So either the oldest ride you have ridden is Corkscrew (which says absolutely nothing about the 100 hundred years of rides before Corkscrew) or that you only really like the ultra-modern stuff.I await your reply

    Corkscrew

    I'll have a good argument against things like that in a few weeks time.. suffice to say I beg to differ.
  20. And to answer your question, I enjoy Vortex, Detonator and Quantum.
  21. There's no topic about Vortex becausea] No one likes itand b] It works. So for instance it doesn't throw pieces of itself of at people or shutdown because its over-complicated, or have air-leaks etc.I for one love Vortex, its the only one of three rides at Thorpe that I genuinely enjoy.
  22. Maybe they applied for an extension on their work?
