This seems silly. Why would Busch spill out more money for new trains that Sheikra simply doesn't need? ODDNESS. Still, Griffon is abotu as original as Branston Beans. I was annoyed to see it had a splashdown, baffled even. For god sake, just do somthing new. I'm pretty confident that the floorlessness will be amazing, though. *shrug*

I'm fed up with being pinned by idiot ride ops on f'ing OSTRs. What the hell. Even on one click a 1.4m skinny person would not fall out. One's knees cannot bend backwards. I am forever fighting against the ops at Thorpe Park to have my Inferno restraint one lock higher than crushing. It's stupid. It's far more dangerous to crush me. I've been pinned by a ride op on Rush to the point where it was physicaly painful and i had to beg for the bar to be released. she said that i should be left there, the bi... yeah. But i was kinda rude to her... and i was stupid enough to let her see me slump after rising to keep the bar high. Still, that's physical abuse! I complained... i spend most of my time at thorpe complaining. Still - my knees can't bend upwards and until they can i'm not going to fall out of these deep seats. Other than that - not really, generally staff being fools and not knowing stuff they should do pisses me off but they could be new for all i know.

Psh, faster doesn't make it better. I never thought the airtime was that amazing anyway... The new lapbars completely distract me from the rest of the ride. I can't concentrate on anything other than being slammed. I'm just hoping and i'm fairly confident that once the trains wear in it will be okay again. Totally. I just thought about it's frikin' new breaking system in the station. Wtf is up with that? Stop, start, stop, start... the loading on it is WORSE than it was with only the two trains! So BPB have completely ruined it and the benefits they where after aren't even there. Cognrats.

Colossus. A coaster that goes from utterly TERRIBLE to AMAZING when the track's wet and has been for the last 10 or so hours. Nemesis Inferno is cool when it rains too. It certainly gets less sickly. Only problem is it's h20 intolerant and breaks down in heavy rain. Only Thorpe could break a B&M. Only Thorpe... lol

Grand National has been ruined with the new trains. Though, i'm pretty convinced that it's mostl due to them being new and unflexible. Old coaster trains flex with the track, these new ones don't. Maybe after they wear in they won't be so painful. The lapbars lock further and further down throughout the course now. I wouldn't mind so much, but when they are down as much as they should be by ride-op pinning standard and they STILL come down further on the first drop, something's wrong. And, Colossucks has clearly been ruined by the park. Those f-ing trains. Colossus has a boring layout and it's only good point was ever it's looks... but now oil spills down it's supports and it grinds aroudn the track liek nails on a blackboard. It needs new trains, desperately, to make it worth riding.

I've been taken to Chessington WoA since around 1994... I was too scared to find anything till i was .. about... 9? 10? when we went to Australia and my sister forced me on Leathal Weapon. I don't remember riding it, but i'm guessing it lived up to it's name. I remember the first time i went to Alton in 2000 being totally mesmorized by Nemesis. So, blame Nemesis. S'her fault.

I don't have a toy i take to theme parks... If i did it would probably be a Sonic figure, but i'd be scared of loosing him or him complaining that Stealth is slow. Most of my REAL (non plastic) friends are coastery people, i guess i'm lucky in that department.

Great stuff.

I don't like Det. I do however respect it, because i know it's actually good and i'm the one being stupid. The more i go on it, the less i like it. I've not got a problem with any other tower ride, but Detonator is actually scary. What's funny is i look at it and feel nothing, but as soon as i hear the pneumatics at the top fo the tower and feel the car jolt... i want to die.

Scenic Railway at Dreamland Margate... 86 sure sounds stupidly old.

Leathal Weapon at Movie World Asutralia. Woo, SLC goodness.

I think Valhalla is painfully overated. Though, i'm pretty sure that with all the original effects running it would be significently better. I personally find it dull, the lack of any real storyline seems a bit.. daft? The effects either never work or are lame. (the lightning? wtf... flashing lights in cages?!) And it's too wet. Wet rides should ba banned.
