    If it was the headline then yes, very slow day.

    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.
  5. 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.
  6. It wouldn't be because they've only just noticed it. It may be because something has happened on park.

    I have more chance with Kelly Clarkson so I'm thinking her.Pizza or I dunno, an elephant
  8. Apparently the actors really don't like it when you are chatty to them like that..But as long as you had fun

    I think we need pictures of the before and after.

  11. [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.
  14. And to answer your question, I enjoy Vortex, Detonator and Quantum.
  15. 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.
  16. Maybe they applied for an extension on their work?

    Post Your Desktop!

    Woah, Woah Woah! You cannot call Rihanna that when you have a crappy Maurer Shone spinner as your desktop Now that's a proper ride
  18. The sad thing is, Flamingoland could build 4 B&M rollercoasters, 7 Intamin rocket coasters, 2 Maurer Spinners and a Top scan for next season and it would still only get one reply in a topic. On the other hand, Thorpe could add a new bin and there would be a 10 page topic on how people are excited about the new addition.Anyway, to me, its a brave move as we know that S&S reliability can be somewhat dodgy. I'll definitely be making the effort to visit next season. I just hope it isn't another G-Force *shudders*.
  19. As long as the first drop is into a pool of needles! God that would be immense!!!!!!!!
  20. Which one?Saw, Saw 2, Saw 3, Saw 4 or Saw 5?It's basically 6 easy steps to remember your franchise. Make 5 mediocre films about torture, name a ride after it then wallah!, you are now a mini-Universal studios. So what sort of consequences will this have on the rest of Canada Creek? Will we have the:-"Rocky Horror Express" ?"I know what you did last Slammer" ?"Canada Creek Railway Massacre: Bear-hunt" ?"The Exorcism of Loggers Leap" ?"Buzz-sawurai" !I dread to think..
  21. Well done Thorpe. Not only have you made a ride that has completely uninterested me from start to finish, you've also based it on the most underwhelming and dull series of films in the history of cinema.Still, for those that thought Buzzsaw was a good choice of name, Saw is basically that..
  22. Well erm.. just other forums to be honest with you.
  23. Woah woah woah. Turquoise and red, out of place in Lost City?
