Thank you very much! That was extremely helpful! I'll try to talk my dad into getting the ultimate flashpass but I'm not sure if he'll like the idea of spending yet more money. We'll have to wait and see. It's a shame that you can't choose what side you sit on on HC, but I'm sure my english charm, which comes oh so naturally, will be what it takes for the op to budge! I will probably go on it now as I have indeed been on the Stand Up Tilting side of Apocalypse. I've heard that HC isn't quite as good as Apocalypse, even with the height. Something about it not having such a large sensation of freefall as Apocalypse does. I'll find out! Enough of the blabbering. Thanks again!

Hello Title Fairy, I feel that it has been some time since I received my last title which I very much deserved. I feel a new year comes a new light and so, I'm slowly changing. Anyway, please may I have my title changed to 'TPR's Resident Geek' as I am already getting A* in physics at school a whole 3 years early. My friends call me a geek. Thank You!

For me, it has to be Nemesis Inferno! I love the tunnel filled with mist and how it just glides effortlessly. Here's a video of it! http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Kbz_TyC2-_o

Basically, it changes instantly. I wondered this myself and when I saw how it did it in NoLimits, I was sure it was wrong as it didn't look right. But, then I saw that the track style really does change from one to the other instantly without a transition other than two rails leading into the next track type. Take a look at this picture as it explains it better. I hope this answers your question! As you can see, two rails leading from the bi-rail to the tri-rail is all that happens!

Hello, I'm going to Spain in the summer holidays (28th July - 10th August) with my family and friend and we are going to head over to Port Aventura whilst we are there. We are staying in Salou, so you can imagine that we'd be stupid not to go. What I was wondering was if there are any tips or advice you can give to me to maximise the whole experience. Are there fast track type tickets availabe? What rides should I head to first? What rides get busy and when? Are there any other parks nearby that I could consider going to? Stuff like that would be very useful. One last thing. I am scared to go on Hurakan Condor but, I have been on Apocalypse and Detonator. Should I go on it and if so, what sides are the best. Thanks for the help! EDIT: I have some more questions for you guys! Please answer. - *Will it be busy at that time of year?* - *What places are best for food?* - Is the water park there worth going to. - Is the water park outside of Port Aventura worth going to? - Are the night openings worth going to? - Is there a good day plan/order to do things in? - *What rides get busy and when?* - *Is it better to go more than once/ twice / three times?* Thank you! P.S. *(question)* = Important question!

Nice pictures. when I saw them over at TPM, I couldn't help to immaturely laugh at erection. It is funnier of you saw what was on the van. Sadly, the album with all of the pictures has been taken down. It's nice to know that the station is getting some depth to it now as before, it was a little flat. I am loving the industrial, corrugated iron sheets on the sides and all the random bits of wood. Most importantly, I love the blades! Hopefully they will spin but, I have a feeling they won't. Even if they had the capability of spinning, I doubt they would work knowing Thorpe's reliability with mechanical theming. It would be good if there was a sensor at the top of the drop. When the sensor gets triggered, the blades spin! That would be awsome. -

^^^ It's not Python. I'll give you a hint. ^^ I won't confirm anything until the next clue, if it's needed. ^ Nope. HINT: It isn't located in North America. Here is the original picture without the colour change but it is still blurred. Guess.bmp -
I couldn't agree more. I didn't realise until you said it that it was the combination of the colours I wasn't keen on. They're too similar and so it just doesn't look right to me. It just needs a totally contrasting colour to make it a bit more interesting. I love the colour blue, but not next to purple!

Mystic Harbour looks pretty stunning! I love the whole idea of it. There should be something like it in real life as it would be fantastic! I love the work you are doing and all I can say is keep making each update as superb as they have been so far! -

I know this isn't a maths helpline site but, I just need a bit of help. For my maths revision, there is a really tough question I am just stumped over. I would be very grateful if someone could help me with it. Here it is: X-2 - X-3 = 1 3____2 I need to solve this and find the value of X. NOTE: The lines between the 3 and 2 are simply to put them in the correct place. It doesn't work with just a space. Help is much appreciated!

I've already had my first proper ride of 2009! It was Extremis: Drop Ride to Doom at The London Dungeons. It is only a 30ft tall drop ride, but it pushes you down, which makes it quite intense! As for coasters and such, I hope it to be Saw: The Ride. Jason 'too many ride names these days have colons' Edwards

^^ ^ Sorry but no to both. I've been a bit mean because I have changed the colours in the photograph. So I present to you a hint! HINT: The real colours are not shown in the photo. -

Yeah. Thats what I thought. I swear names of elements only differ between companies. Such as, for sitting coasters, B&M would call a Corkscrew a 'Flat Spin' whereas Intamin would call it a 'Screw.' However, Britain has the same generic element names as the USA as far as I know. We say Corkscrew, Immelmann and Cobra Roll as much as Americans do.
