Despite my drunken post I am actually really amused by Will's comments there. particularly the "You are actually upside down" schizzle. Lest we forget that Zodiac, Colossus, Samurai and Nemesis Inferno also invert.

FOR FECK SAKE WILL no one has died on Slammer or Rush so why do you doubt the safety of these rides. Loads of Scwarzkopf looping coasters have no over the shoulder restraints and yet no one has died so stop asking stupid questions on the safety of Thorpe Park ridesFACT: No one has died on a Merlin rideFACT: Only one person has died on a British ride.

No but you were there more then most full time staff

Matilda, Sir Killalot, Shunt, Dead Metal and Sergent Bash (no geek me!)They then added things like the refbot basically killing it dead.

Erm, this is the same Dannnn that visited basically everyday of the 2004 and 2005 thorpe park season. Him calling someone sad is like asking where the plants are in a garden centre.

I don't remember much of series 1 but I do remember the mastery of Chaos 2 and Hypnodisc. Now they were awesome.

NOHonestly, we don't have insidcer information, we can't tell the future, we are not fortune tellers, we do not work at Thorpe Park.Your guess is as good as ours.

For inspiration... Alex Guy Anyway.. Happy Birthday everyone

= Sheppie and James = Joe

Right so we have Marc the Alien, Phill the T-rex. So what does that make Alex, Ian, Mike, Cringle and I?Well heres some possibilities.. = Alex = Ian = Mike = Cringle = Mark = SEB!

Say Hello to...SIMPS100!

It is worrying really. I prefer Bree, shes just how I want to be :D

I'm Susan.. err no. I am so Bree.

Was your ride on the Runaway Train top drawer?

I'm quite happy with my flat chest and penis actually thanks Pete

Today is Oblivion's tenth birthday.. Happy Birthday Oblivion you amazing old thing. Unfortunately you cannot celebrate your tenth birthday over and over and over and over again.However you can call the Oblivion hotline to wish it a happy day. Unofrtunately they must point out they do not offer birthday cake at Alton Towers. HAPPY BIRTHDAY OBLIVION

I may warn him for obscene nudity....

As this is the music thread Ill be posting it here (despite being called songs & lyrics) last night I went up to Nottingham to see The feeling and I was like woah oh my god. It was awesome and I'm surprised how great they sounded live. I don't really know what else to say.. because you kind of had to be there and I'm sort of showing of. Oh well. Oh yeah Dan, the lead signer, is so camp its unreal. Strutting up and down the stage, flicking his hair Alex Guy stylee and even pointing out how great his mirror piano is. Fantastic gig

That is so ironic coming from you love

Well something doesn't add up if both Air and Oblivion have very short queues on very busy days...

Oblivion always gets queues. I always see it at 40 minutes around mid-day. Your either extremely lucky on your trips or you just never go on busy days.

Only half true. Hex and Oblivion opened up but Ripsaw was still covered in scaffolding and Enterprise was still missing pods on the last day of Hullaballoo.

It is still the parks second longest queue to be honest (spinball wins because its poor throughput) It does still get queues, Hullabaloo wouldn't really count for a whole season as its quiet anyway.

I really like Southend although it is best not to make it the be all and end all of your trip. Alex, me and a few of our friends normally make a trip down there every December and tend to spend some time on the rides, a few hours in the town and a walk along the Pier.I do like Adventure Island though, Dragons Claw is very very good, as the Scorpion and the big Turtle ride. Yet to ride Rage though.
