April 16, 201312 yr comment_157082 Yes, seriously. I don't go on it, it's a pile of crap and doesn't perform. Seriously, RMT lasts longer! Well if you judge rides on how long they last then why is your display picture Stealth? That's one of the shortest lasting rides out there! Anyway, you saying "it's a pile of crap" is stupid - you can't just say that because you don't like it. It does perform, it actually lasts a fair amount of time in my opinion, plus you get two cycles/one long cycle with the chance to get off so stop stating what isn't true.
April 16, 201312 yr comment_157085 Anyway, you saying "it's a pile of crap" is stupid - you can't just say that because you don't like it. I don't like it and it doesn't give me the enjoyment it used to.
April 16, 201312 yr comment_157088 I don't like it and it doesn't give me the enjoyment it used to. Yes, but just because you don't like it, doesn't make it a pile of crap! You are one person, you don't represent everyone's views.
April 16, 201312 yr comment_157091 Thanks for the clarification. I know manier people who hate it. I'm sorry but you have well and truly lost this battle
April 16, 201312 yr comment_157093 Thanks for the clarification. I know manier people who hate it. I know many people who like it. Doesn't mean that I expect everyone to like it and claim it to be the best ride ever! (As opposed to your "a pile of crap.")
April 17, 201312 yr comment_157162 I like Rameses Revenge. Although not being my favourite ride at Chessington, I always ride it every time I go because it offers me an extreme thrill that none of the other rides at Chessington seem to have currently. Just because 1 person doesn't like it doesn't automatically mean everyone dislikes it. I like Slammer and X for different reasons and whilst most people on this forum don't like Slammer for it's reliability and ride experience, I have no problem in saying that I enjoy it. I respect people's own opinions for rides like Slammer and RR, but what I don't respect is them assuming that only their opinion is valid and anything different from theirs is wrong. RR is a ride that to me still needs to be at Chessington because not only does it provide an experience for the more extreme market, but it's also there to introduce the bigger and more extreme rides to the younger audience who are still hesitant about riding those sorts or rides. My 10 year-old sister for instance a couple of years ago would refuse to go on almost every ride at Thorpe due to the shear size, intensity and speed of them. But as soon as she managed Quantum and RR last year, she loved them and because of that confidence that she had from enjoying the slightly more extreme rides, she moved up to Zodiac, then Vortex, then Rush and then everything else thanks to the variety and choice Thorpe/Chessington has to offer. Now, she rides everything at Thorpe except Detonator still (and I don't blame her frankly)! Plus, this argument about Rameses not being a "proper" thrill ride is just silly. Guests who visit Chessington, Alton and even Thorpe aren't going to judge from appearance whether this ride is classed as a thrill ride or a family ride from the manufacturers website are they? Just because the manufacturer thinks the ride is aimed at families doesn't mean everyone else who visits will think the same. In fact, I'd go as far to say that Quantum for instance could be classed as an extreme ride by some guests as it surprises a lot of people including myself, my friends and even my sister. Thorpe Park and some people I know class Rush as a thrill ride, despite on S&S's website it is classed as a "family ride". Detonator as another example is classed as an "extreme" on Thorpe's website (and rightly so because I find it a very extreme ride!), despite being classed as a "spectacular" ride on Fabrri's website. To put it simply - these classes of rides are there for the manufacturer and buyer, NOT the average guest. So please can we stop this arguing people? As it's ridiculous and there's no right or wrong way of looking at this. Thank you.
April 17, 201312 yr comment_157200 It is Chessingtons only remaining inversion, it can't go! Without it, regardless of height restrictions, the place is a childrens park not a family one if you look at the line up. There is nothing there remotely intimidating to anyone but the youngest child. I thought Ramesis was running particularly well today, even if it does sound like every moving part is made of pure rust (although I love that noise it sounds like it needs a can of WD40 or two). It was gliding round and managing 5 or 6 flips, last time I went a couple of years ago it would rarely do more than two.
April 21, 201312 yr comment_157342 It was gliding round and managing 5 or 6 flips, last time I went a couple of years ago it would rarely do more than two.I'm sure the 'spin cycle' only does 4 flips not 6??
April 21, 201312 yr comment_157343 It does as many as it can I think. It sometimes makes it all the way over on the last spin and sometimes it falls back without making it over. A less knackered model with a good operator can do them perpetually.
April 21, 201312 yr comment_157350 Depends on the weight of the ride - I seemingly remember getting 5 on there, but also 3, all depends. Ripsaw gets 5 if the weight is right, otherwise it'll be 4 on that setting, however it is an accidental extra inversion incase anyones interested in that.
April 21, 201312 yr comment_157379 If you want to get wet, back row, 5th seat in. Learnt that through experience It got 4 today just to clarify, didn't quite make number 5.
April 21, 201312 yr comment_157381 I actually really liked it, not as intense as slammer but still forceful, I will defianately re-ride in future
April 22, 201312 yr comment_157389 If you want to get wet, back row, 5th seat in. Learnt that through experience It got 4 today just to clarify, didn't quite make number 5. It depends which operator you have if you want to get wet. On a hot summers day, the operators will always drench you with water but towards the beginning of the season, the operators will be more kind and only squirt it up and miss you. I went on it 3 times a week ago. The first and second time, the water was not used/didnt get us wet at all. However, on the third time, I asked the operator to give us a soaking and he said if you sit on the back row, you will get a soaking! I think I sat 6th from the left(right if you are spectating) on the back row. The water came up right into our faces and got us absolutely soaked! As for the flipping, we only got 4 flips all 3 times we were on the ride
May 21, 201312 yr comment_159264 Rameses revenge unavalible AGAIN?! What do you expect? It's Chessington...
May 21, 201312 yr comment_159265 Lack of money, lack of interest, lack of good experienced engineers, same as last year wh en I worked there!
May 21, 201312 yr comment_159274 Where did you get that from, there's nothing on their website about it so it must be open again
May 21, 201312 yr comment_159288 Where did you get that from, there's nothing on their website about it so it must be open again http://www.chessington.com/Scroll down- red notice bar, this message has been there for a while now so my guess is there is a technical fault.
May 21, 201312 yr comment_159293 I went on there and there was no red bar Just clicked on it and its definately still there- scroll down the front page under the blue box next to the zufari ad. The red bar is scrolling there.
