    They made a new Professor Burps entrance sign, 6 months before they rethemed it to Cussons. Big companies love spending money.
  2. They were naughty queue-jumpers..

    On our forum it does. We have posted and put it in the guidelines. I have asked in the past for people not to swear (hiding it behind stars is still swearing) and most of it from you has been unnecessary.

    They were flashing lights...
  5. Is that really your highest ambition?
  6. Mark9 replied to Dan9's topic in UK Attractions
    Hes probably friendlier to the guests then you are.
  7. Mark9 replied to Mardy's topic in UK Attractions
    Hmm. Either that or nothing. Thunder Looper wasn't going to stay because of all the complaints it was getting from the local people.
  8. Blues are back.. yeah.

    There's actually two grammatical mistakes there. No it doesn't matter as most people don't read the T&C's and theres things like world hunger, Aids, poverty, hurricane strikes, the credit crunch.But then again how hard it is to read over your own website and have correct spelling.

    I've had it with the rubbish posts some people are making at the moment. I'm on a three strikes and your out basis because frankly posts like "lol x no way out smells" are getting on my nerves. Continue and you will be banned.Thank you for your time.

    hehe.. I like how you hated the place and yet it still got an average rating.

    Realisitically it wouldn't bring in that many guests and would add very little to a ride that is already very successful and brings in the guests. The floorless aspect is one of those gimmicky things that a lot of people feel add very little to rides. I think the same would occur with Oblivion.

    It has kind of ended. The logos on the cars were removed about a season ago, although I can't remember if there are still logos on the entrance sign.
  15. Mark9 replied to AltonThorpe's topic in UK Attractions
    Uhh.. its ride time is already longer then a good many rides, it still shocks people, its still an effective ride and its also my favourite at Alton so no to extension or modification. Its an awesome ride.
  16. Considering you are able to go on Vampire regardless of if you can walk or not it doesn't matter. On Rattlesnake there are only a series of very thin vertical ladders to get down from the very top and on Runaway Train it does depend on where people are evacuated on. People are taken off by a series of step ladders and have to get of the train from the angled track.. not as easy as it sounds. I'm not sure if its still the case with Falls but from what I recall, the reason guests need to be able to walk is because they used to only evacuate 2-4 people at a time. I don't know whether thats still the case though.
  17. And now a voice of a staff member (although I'm glad my areas rides were helpful ) Basically there are four rides at Chessington that you need to be able to get on and off without the aid of helpers at Chessington. They are the Runaway Train, Rattlesnake, Bubbleworks and Dragon Falls. Now I'm not exactly sure what the rule is about stopping Bubbleworks to allow guests in wheelchairs onto the ride (Peter may be able to explain further) What you have to remember is that the staff don't want to run the risk of getting in trouble for breaking a health and safety rule. It would be rude for me to ask how well you can walk but remember when you e-mail Chessington, is that the staff members were just going by the Code of Safe Working practise. They shouldn't have been rude to you though, and that is not on.If you have any questions about some of the disabled policies Chessington has just send me a PM, Ill try and help you out and maybe pass on your comments.

    I wants new I-pod. They look really nice and happy
  19. Mark9 replied to Dan9's topic in UK Attractions
    Oblivion re-opened yesterday (although we did end up stuck on it during a short 5 mintue breakdown )
  20. A dark ride themed around time travel! with water and laser effects WOO.I don't want to pretend that I have any ideas for Neptunes kingdom, but just throwing rides like ones we already have is a bit senseless. Unless the ride has something paritcularly special it will just be forgotten (Like so many others)
  21. How about some ORIGINAL family rides. All people ever seem to do when suggesting new things is to look at what other parks have done and copy. Indoor sensory ride like Bubbleworks? ride like Tomb Blaster? Why not something completely out there, challenging and different instead of sticking to a formula.

    I vote for Lewie900 as next Thorpe Park general manager. He obviously knows what guests want (something they can get down the ****ing road).Woops
