Nope. Both rides have one vertical loop, one inline twist and two wing-overs (otherwise known as corkscrews).And as for red, it depends on when they dye the water.

Aww poor Skyway.

Have you been on Rattlesnake or the Runaway Train at Chessington?
-
It used to get 3 hour queues...

Err.. bit confused actually. Chessington isn't a throughput based run rides and attraction department, one of the sole points of Chessington is that its staff speak to guests, find out how their days are going etc etc. I also don't like how you call everyone who works at Chessington pathetic. Generalisations are pathetic and thats how you come across.

I'm going to be controversial and GO AGAINST THE CONCENSUS Ok.. Drayton is crap. There is no denying that if I had to go to Hell or Drayton, I'd be buying my one way ticket to Satan's house right now. However, Drayton bless it, tries very hard to get it right and on some occasions it succeeds. The problem is, as it always is, is money. Drayton can never compete with Alton Towers, its only way of clawing profit is to have un-motivated staff on minimum wage, one train operation on its rides and moderately themed rides with graffitti everywhere. It's only way of adding rides is to throw things whereever they fit. Look at their recent additions such as that pirate ship and the drunken barrells.It's to much to say they could build a spinning rollercoaster because it would always be overlooked by Fury and Spinball. What would be the point of an Eurofighter when thorpe is opening what will be a very popular ride next year. The smaller parks have to look outisde the box when they build rides as they simply cannot compete with the Merlin 4.

I would have except I'd try to talk to you on say Lift 1 and end up speaking to the queueline... yeah..

You should have done.. I'd have done shout-outs and sung I HAD A LITTLE SONG FOR YOU down the PA. Anyway 3 times isn't that bad, I've known people to ride that about 10 times in a row and today some man went on Truckers 5 times in a row... WHAT THE HELL!

Luckily Cwoa isn't that busy at the moment which is great for staff, great for guests. I think the longest queues for the day were at Vampire, I know that Fury's was about 10 minutes for most of the day.. Oh sorry this is the Thorpe Park trip report sub-forumHAHA 99 MINUTE QUEUES FOR AT LEAST FIVE OF THE RIDES. LOLOLOLOLOLOLSorry, but it is rather funny how Thorpe is always proclaimed as amazing when it has all these closed rides and stupidly long queues. Still whatever floats your boat as you visit for the 100th time this season.

They can use the main queue but they don't. It's part of the service apparently.

Your post is the very definition of randomIt also reminds me of those Oscar acceptance speechs where they thank everyone they know including the kitchen sink for everything they have achieved.So on that note I want to wish Chelski good luck, hope Marc is having a great time at work, hope Jack enjoys selling photos, wishes Phil luck as he tries to get his mac fixed, wants Alex to buy me alcohol for this weekend (), is desperately hoping Ian isn't at nandos and wants to know if Cringle remembers the Tidal Wave late night rides at the April event two years ago.Woo!

Tomb Blaster is more of an event ride, I agree but I think thats what actually annoys me about it. The fact its one of the main rides at Chessington means queues are always a silly length and I often find the fact that a lot of targets don't work (as do some of the guns) and the slower pace results in a bored Mark.

No one implied otherwise.
