December 23, 201113 yr comment_129117 I can't right click it, it just brings up the silly white loading box :POh and when I use the mobile skin on my iPhone, I get a message saying "You do not have permission to view this attatchment" I don't get it anywhere else on the forum though :oWhere are they uploaded to? Maybe it's the album privacy settings or something?

December 23, 201113 yr comment_129122 GCI for 1993? Oh please Thorpe! Let's go back 18 years!Also, it's interesting to note that the original plans for a B&M Flyer where SAW now sits included a "drop which consists of half a pretzel loop". The birth of the "Thorpe Park Inversion", anyone? Would certainly answer who thought it up, Thorpe or B&M... My money's on Thorpe for this one.
