October 15, 200816 yr comment_36019 I'm sorry but it's trueAND STOP DELETING MY POSTS!!!Its probably because they're all complete crap.Refer to the the forum guidelines next time maybe.
October 15, 200816 yr comment_36020 eugh, dont say what I have to say is crap - you're not better than me.and come on guys, isn't it too obvious that corkscrew is too outdated?
October 15, 200816 yr comment_36022 eugh, dont say what I have to say is crap - you're not better than me.and come on guys, isn't it too obvious that corkscrew is too outdated?I'll have a good argument against things like that in a few weeks time.. suffice to say I beg to differ.
October 15, 200816 yr comment_36026 eugh, dont say what I have to say is crap - you're not better than me.*cough*anyway, yeah... I never used to enjoy it but my last ride was rather fun, I don't really see many coasters that have inversions and are just : fun... so it makes a change from GO ON THIS IT'S SCARY [/saw]
October 15, 200816 yr comment_36031 I'd rather go on something which will give me a thrill, than an ugly one which will give me a crooked neck.
October 15, 200816 yr comment_36041 Fair enough, that is your preferance, but there is nothing to say that you can't appreciate other people's viewpoints. Or perhaps you could look at it yourself from a different point of view, look at what the ride did in terms of boosting the industry and how much of an icon it's become. How it has become surrounded with nostalgia for many and is still an enjoyable experiance.As you said when talking about Modern Art; just because one person says it's crap, doesn't mean it is. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but should also try and look at the world from the point of view of others.Perhaps you could apply that in this case.
October 15, 200816 yr comment_36062 okay, I do accept others points of view, bu I am also stating mine.IMO its not an enjoyable experience; you can have a coherant convosation on the ride; thats how dull it is.I am letting others have their opinions.as is said so much on these forums:"end."
October 17, 200816 yr comment_36350 DEATH TO CORKSCREW!! That ride was the most boring ride I've EVER been on!! Worse than flying fish!!I'm not surprised they're taking it down! The queue is so short because nobody bothers with it!Sure you think it's more fun but I was almost asleep! Personal opinion though...

Personal opinion though...If you hadn't put Personal Opinion Though at the end of that post it'd be giving you a mounthful and a half . Corkscrew was a great ride- A big ride for the lil' un's- because it has a 1.4M ride with a 1.2M height restriction.
October 18, 200816 yr comment_36366 eugh, dont say what I have to say is crap - you're not better than me.and come on guys, isn't it too obvious that corkscrew is too outdated?No.And what rides do you like then? Because I could easily say that they are outdated pieces of crap as well.

Corkscrew was a great ride- A big ride for the lil' un's- because it has a 1.4M ride with a 1.2M height restriction. Lol, phew!! I'm just like that... I'd hate for someone to have a go at me for something stupid I'd said!! :DAnd yer, I spose it was good for the younger ones (not that I'm much older )
October 18, 200816 yr comment_36440 No.And what rides do you like then? Because I could easily say that they are outdated pieces of crap as well.the rides I like weren't made three decades ago.
October 19, 200816 yr comment_36445 So are you saying old rides have no value and are useless rides....Your comment saying that none of your favourite rides are three decades old certainly implies this. So either the oldest ride you have ridden is Corkscrew (which says absolutely nothing about the 100 hundred years of rides before Corkscrew) or that you only really like the ultra-modern stuff.I await your reply
October 29, 200816 yr comment_37668 I just got an email from Alton Towers giving me details to book my last ride on Corkscrew I managed to ride it in the summer, can't say I'd rush back to Alton just to ride it but anyway...farewell.
October 29, 200816 yr comment_37681 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/staffordshire/7697240.stmaha, Staff clearing the site also found underwear, a diamond wedding ring, 53 non-matching shoes and 604 watches.Other lost property items included 800 pieces of jewellery, 237 mobile phones, thousands of caps and a prosthetic ear.
October 29, 200816 yr comment_37686 Bl**dy hell!A prosphetic leg!I pity the person who lost that riding corcscrew. And yeah just a couple of weeks left now =[
October 29, 200816 yr comment_37688 Weeks? You mean days... 3 days...Oh god! Just shows how quickly the season flown by!Yeah 3 days. Really not long. Even though it will open on the 9th November.
October 29, 200816 yr comment_37703 Never been on Corkscrew!I think it is stupid to demerit a ride merely because it is old! Vampire is still one of my favourite rides and it's funking ancient
October 29, 200816 yr comment_37717 Vampire is 10yrs younger than corkie, and is basically only really 7yrs old if you think how extensive the change was. Looking forward to the farewell corkscrew event
