Mark9 Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 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..Sorry, a lot of that doesn't compute. Maybe it doesn't help that everyday you say "I don't want to go to Thorpe tomorrow" and yet everyday you end up there anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 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.You would think so but would also be very possible would miss you all day. As someone who favours thrill rides more, Chessington isnt my favourite park, but we had every intention of making an effort, I think the fact we drove all the way there proves this!Sorry, a lot of that doesn't compute. Maybe it doesn't help that everyday you say "I don't want to go to Thorpe tomorrow" and yet everyday you end up there anyway. Something to do isnt it =p Probably wouldnt have bothered with thorpe that day if it wasnt for some others there inviting me, and needing to sort out my annual pass would of probably stayed at cwoa abit longer..

JoshC. Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 One thing I do not understand is you go all the way to Chessie, then go all the way back. You've driven there, so why go all the way back (well, to TP) when you're not likely to be going there any time soon? The chances are you would have found AeRo sooner or later (even if you had to ring him hundreds of times) and probably had a good day.Although you say you're a thrill person, Chessie has thrills to - of course, not to the same level of TP, but still. Forgive me if I'm being a bit rude, but I just ca 't see where you are coming from... :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 I tried to call Peter around 10 times before giving up, its quite possible if we had walked around long enough would of found him, but its quite possible we wouldnt also! Where as going back to TP I could sort out my annual pass and ride rides we enjoy.Ill go back to chessington when its abit quieter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Personally, I find 6000 quiet enough, but each to their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 See it sounds it, thorpe had alot more than that too, but 40/50 mins for cobra, or 20 mins for Detonator I know which one I would choose! By quiet I meant a dead week day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkmad Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Marc - I know you are a big Thorpe Park fan boy and you know I am a big Chessington WoA one...Have you ever thought about trying to see the positives in Chessington WoA?!I mean, I still go to Thorpe Park despite me seeing loads of negatives. However, I dont voice them constantly like you do and look towards the positives I feel to Thorpe Park.No one is making you visit Chessington WoA so just dont bother tbh going if you cba! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 No one is making you visit Chessington WoA so just dont bother tbh going if you cba! lolI think the problem here is Marc's contribution to global warming and increasing his carbon footprint. I don't care particularly if he doesn't lke the rides but deciding somewhere is to busy after 5 minutes is a bit to much for me to comprehend.

AeRo Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 See it sounds it, thorpe had alot more than that too, but 40/50 mins for cobra, or 20 mins for Detonator I know which one I would choose!40/50 minutes for a brand new ride is pretty good. I can think of Stelf, Shlamma, Roosh, Sore, Sore Aleeve and Fish all having much longer queues when they were new, so I fail to see your point.

Benin Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Kobra was only that at the start of the day as well, the rest of the rides had minimal queue aside from the usual suspects of Fury, Vamp and Bubbles...Of course, I sense that if someone else had turned round and said 'I spent 5 minutes at Thorpe, couldn't get in contact with anyone and left to go to Chessie, I park I much prefer anyways' there'd be uproar...And 6000 is a medium day... But it didn't feel like 6000 at all tbh... It was a nice, relaxing atmosphere... We felt able to sit down and have donuts/coffee, waste time in the lorikeets enclosure, and waste even more time standing by a talking tree for ages... Stuff Thorpe doesn't provide...

Marc Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Marc - I know you are a big Thorpe Park fan boy and you know I am a big Chessington WoA one...Have you ever thought about trying to see the positives in Chessington WoA?!Read my trip report, you will see I said how I thought the new area looked pretty nice..I mean, I still go to Thorpe Park despite me seeing loads of negatives. However, I dont voice them constantly like you do and look towards the positives I feel to Thorpe Park.As do I when I visit, I havent said anything against what they have done this season No one is making you visit Chessington WoA so just dont bother tbh going if you cba! lolThanks for the advice I think the problem here is Marc's contribution to global warming and increasing his carbon footprint. I don't care particularly if he doesn't lke the rides but deciding somewhere is to busy after 5 minutes is a bit to much for me to comprehend.I thought about this and drove economically from Chessington to Thorpe Park, I stuck to the speed limit and used my gears correctly. 40/50 minutes for a brand new ride is pretty good. I can think of Stelf, Shlamma, Roosh, Sore, Sore Aleeve and Fish all having much longer queues when they were new, so I fail to see your point.Thats very true, but judging by what people have said about Discos its not really somthing I'm badly wanting to ride, and am happy to wait till it has a quieter queue. Leave Marc alone, he can do what he wants!Yeh!Kobra was only that at the start of the day as well, the rest of the rides had minimal queue aside from the usual suspects of Fury, Vamp and Bubbles...Well it was at 50 mins when I got there around 12:30/1:00Of course, I sense that if someone else had turned round and said 'I spent 5 minutes at Thorpe, couldn't get in contact with anyone and left to go to Chessie, I park I much prefer anyways' there'd be uproar...Everyone aloud there opinion, this all started from a tongue in cheek comment to keith and has been taken way OTT! And 6000 is a medium day... But it didn't feel like 6000 at all tbh... It was a nice, relaxing atmosphere... We felt able to sit down and have donuts/coffee, waste time in the lorikeets enclosure, and waste even more time standing by a talking tree for ages... Stuff Thorpe doesn't provide...To be honest when I heard it was 6000 I was stunned, felt alot busier in the areas I went in. And yeah, there is much at Chessington what thorpe dont provide, but the stuff what interested me, Chessington didn't provide and Thorpe Park did. As I said many times would of been different had I got hold of peoples ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Agree'd with Marc, our main aim was too look at Kobra and Meet with Aero, Kobra was ridiculous for a Disk-o and peter's phone played games! So it was a no win-no win situation, we decided Thorpe Park was the better option at the spur of the moment. Like Marc has already said we havent said its aweful there, as the area is spectacular! We just thought judging by the rides we saw it was best we left! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshC. Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 I just see it as people having their opinions and discussing them - that's what a forum is about, isn't it? Yes, they conflict, but we're not arguing. This has just gone way over the top... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesB Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Reading by any chance?Havant in Hampshire, sorry --------------Continuing on with the Chessington vs Thorpe discussion, I must admit that this year I'm slightly more drawn to Chessington due to the new area and the fact I haven't visited for a few years now. I still might do Thorpe as well but at the moment Chessington is top of my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
