March 29, 201015 yr comment_87937 In the town they have opened the best sweet shop ever. Its called the Olde Sweet Shop and the whole interior is done up like the old days, its all really authentic, I love it. Anyway, I got the best chocolate bar with marshmallows on fudge on. There's my random contribution!
March 29, 201015 yr comment_87942 Haha that's cool! All we get around my area are flippin' 99p Shops..... Useful.
March 29, 201015 yr comment_87951 What car do you drive? A flipping Hummer?!Nope, as it says in my Sig...It's a 1996, 1.8L Petrol, Volvo 440. It is supposed to do 36MPG, so me getting 38.3 combined, not Hypermilling, is quite good, I thought.What have you got?Tom.When I say combined, I mean, 3/4 of the miles being Motorways, averaging about 60ish, and, alot of small/short journeys, and, a bit in stop/start traffic.If it was a modern car, yes, that sort of MPG is bad, but, considering its age and condition, I think it's quite good.
March 29, 201015 yr comment_87963 I'm surprised how after 1 trip to TP and 1 to Chessie this season has made me lose interest in TP. I'm on here and there's a new post in the Stealth topic and I think 'Oh'. Yet I see a new post about 'Tomb Blaster' and I think 'Hmm, what's all this about then?' And then click on that. Afterwards, I don't really care about Stealth and then just mark it as read. Even a new post in the future topics or in the Inferno topic doesn't spark anything for me. Compare this to a week ago and it was much different.I'm slightly disappointed that Thorpe Park is now losing its flare for me and that I just seem to see it as another park like Adventure Island or Paulton's Park - one that I just think 'Oh' about and probably will only ever visit once. I just hope that it's because Chessie is more fresh in my mind than Thorpe. This is a slightly sad day in my eyes...

Welcome to the better side which is known as the Chessington World of Adventure's side obviously!
March 29, 201015 yr comment_87969 I'm sure alot of people would do, and also sure alot wouldn't =p
March 29, 201015 yr comment_87972 Haha!Thorpe Park could never be like Adventure Island or Paulton's Park. I think Thorpe Park and Chessington are both doing a lot better than they have done previously. Alton Towers is definately the better side. But with Thorpe and Chessie, it's a win-win situation. I'll agree to disagree

March 30, 201015 yr comment_87976 Reading by any chance?My thoughts exactly. I've seen that new shop, havent been in though but it does look quite good.
March 30, 201015 yr comment_87977 I'm sure a lot of people give a park more then 5 minutes to.As I said in my TR, we couldn't get hold of anyone so we didnt really want to stay.....
March 30, 201015 yr comment_87979 The LHC should be colliding protons at 7 trillion electron volts today! This is the highest ever.
March 30, 201015 yr comment_87981 As I said in my TR, we couldn't get hold of anyone so we didnt really want to stay.....Yes I know what you said.
March 30, 201015 yr comment_87984 That people like Chessington and then you ride in with a snidey comment despite the fact that at least Themeparkmad and Ryan spend more then 300 seconds in a place before they decide they can't be bothered.
March 30, 201015 yr comment_87986 As I said in my TR, we couldn't get hold of anyone so we didnt really want to stay.....Nothing quite like prejudging a Park eh.
March 30, 201015 yr comment_87987 Bugger...The short trips, and traffic on the way to work, have ruined my Fuel Consumption.My last fill up cost me 13.2 litres, for 104 miles, which is about 35.8MPG, just slightly under the manufacture stated.Tom.
March 30, 201015 yr comment_87992 Yes he is, but we both enjoy thrill rides more, which is something Chessington is unable to offer, so it would be kind of pointless us 2 staying, had we been got hold of others there then obviously it would be a different story, after all its all about the company..
March 30, 201015 yr comment_87996 It's not such a massive Park that you wouldn't have caught up with us eventually. With 2 or more people, I would stay in any Park for the day. It's different if you are on your own though. Perhaps you guys just didn't want to go anyway.
