Come on, do ya jobs guys, wouldn't have got this in my day! But then in your day you'd be telling people off for swearing, not actually swearing yourself.

April 21, 200916 yr comment_53636 Or, let's remincise:So sexy.. Seriously. That looks so daunting, even six years later, and everyone's six years older. That's gorgeous
April 21, 200916 yr comment_53638 Brings me back to the days of walking through the Chessington grass car park and hearing the screams of Samurai throgh the trees. I do miss those days!
April 21, 200916 yr comment_53643 Why didn't they keep the jampenese theme? It loooks ****, out-of-place and the wrong colour at TP.
April 23, 200916 yr comment_53781 Why didn't they keep the jampenese theme? It loooks ****, out-of-place and the wrong colour at TP.It's already out of place and the wrong colour at TP. I'm sure the Jampanese would appreciate us paying homage to their past.

May 7, 200916 yr comment_54902 Was the ride any different than the current Samurai at THORPE PARK?It only seems different in theming.
May 7, 200916 yr comment_54906 Was the ride any different than the current Samurai at THORPE PARK?It only seems different in theming.It was intense, it was fast, it was worth the 45 minute queue. That is a fundamental difference when you add basically the most thrilling flat ride conceived.
May 9, 200916 yr comment_55100 The queues were as long as Thorpe's, I remember seeing them. But the wait was shorter at Chessington.
May 27, 200916 yr comment_57097 I never had the balls to go on Samurai when it was at Chessington (only being 8 or 9 didn't help), but I remember thinking how badass it looked (while on Roger the Dodger's dodgems). I have had a couple of pretty intense rides on it while it's been at Thorpe, but then I have nothing to compare against - although I will admit that I have had some rides on it that have been complete cack!Oh and also, I know massive bump for this quote, but: Indeed, samurai is run slower at thorpe, out of thorpes control but it is run slower.Why is it out of Thorpe's control?
July 23, 200916 yr comment_64179 Did Samurai a manual operating system? proof read your posts please.
July 23, 200916 yr comment_64190 if your asking does samurai run on manual control, the answer is no. they just run it on a low setting.
July 23, 200916 yr comment_64191 if your asking does samurai run on manual control, the answer is no. they just run it on a low setting.Low setting?Did you ever ride it?!
July 23, 200916 yr comment_64192 if your asking does samurai run on manual control, the answer is no. they just run it on a low setting.I have seen videos of Samurai at Chessington.I think you should be saying an extreme setting than a low one!
July 24, 200916 yr comment_64218 Yeah, I heard it was faster and more thrilling at Chessington, its a shame I never got to ride it, is there a reason why Thorpe didn't change its name? becuase its a little out of place in Lost City...
July 24, 200916 yr comment_64336 Low setting?Did you ever ride it?!at thorpe park they run it on a lower setting to chessington. I never went on it at chessington but have seen videos and heard it was on a higher setting. I have been on ones at fairs which were alot more intense.
September 24, 200915 yr comment_71146 Bring samurai back chessie needs all the rides it can get, they should as well because it doesn't fit in with saw and shouldn't have to go through another refurbishment!Samurai was too much of an issue to Engineering at Chessington, hence why the offloaded it to Thorpe. It wouldn't fit into Mystic now as it would need a total repaint, and the whole are would have to be reconfigured, and they would have to get ride of Peeking Heights, which of course is an amazing, exhilarating and thrilling ride.As much as everyone would love it to happen, unfortunately it won't.
