Oh no. I’d imagine an air ambulance is “routine” in that neck of the woods due to accessibility? Whatever happened, hopefully the injured person makes a recovery and it doesn’t have too much of a negative affect on the park.

I’ve always been centre-right but Boris and Mary have swayed me to fall into the left camp. Country desperately needs change. Can’t see an GE for a good couple of month but we’ll get one. Surely even this current bunch of Tories couldn’t morally change PM for the 3rd time within a year without...

Thank you to Chris, Coaster MILF, Reb, Raybould, Hixee, Josh, Dr Dave, Kayleigh, Dev, New Will, Original Will, Sue and Rob for a relaxing, but tiring, two days! Some nice chats had, some memorable rides - front row Stealth at night is fab, the leaking log flume boat, uneventful Rapids, Det...

Cosy sized group this weekend. Should reduce the faff!

Tickets, sweets, faffle prizes and travel all sorted! Cloudy weather at Thorpe, scattered showers at Chessie. I've not been to Chessie this decade so looking forward to returning. See you on Saturday or Sunday!

I don’t do scare mazes and I’m unsure if others are. I’d rather ride the coasters.

Scon for me. And jam first. Although had a pretentious one at a garden centre lunch the other day, had rarebit on it.

Ready for a mid-Halloween trip to Thorpe and Chessington fully of fatty sweets, faff and fun? Saturday 15 October - Thorpe Park 10am until 9pm is Fright Nights at Thorpe Park! Plenty of spooky happenings and creds in the dark. Thorpe Dark. Please meet inside the park by Stealth by 10:30. There...

For some reason I had GF down as late October in my head. But can confirm it’ll be the 15 & 16 (Thorpe Sat, Chessie Sun) October. Topic tomorrow.

I still have the gnome the owner gave me!

…and we’ll ever have. Until John Wardley cops it.

T’Ultimate was the reason to visit Lightwater Valley for thrill seekers. Actually quite pleased that LWV have a strategy and will keep the park floating along. There’s no point them competing with Flamingo, they may as well do their own thing and see where it takes them. Who knows, in 5-10 years...

Howie articulated the ideal balance but if I had to pick then efficiency all the way. Don’t mind a bit of banter from the dispatch op with the mic, but the bar check ops need to be on the boil imo. Just wish some riders were efficient. The amount of faff with photos, securing items, sitting...

Outlaw Run. It was after the park closed and I was invited by the park to stay on. The RMC guys were doing something or another to it and I just sat on the back seat, train to myself, as they let it whizz round. Such a weird experience because I found myself yelling and raising arms in...

As for Flamingoland, I’d say it’s unlikely due to other commitments I have other summer. Unless another team members wants to take it on? @CrashCoaster No offence taken, I know what you mean! I would say average age is late 20’s/early 30’s. But bear in mind most of us are immature so the...

I love this photo! If only it was on Flight of the Per-terosaur...

Wearing a lanyard all day in the sun…

Hi everybody, thanks for a smashing day. Looking forward to reading your reports and seeing your photos over the next few days. But first I think we all need some recovery time! The sun was amazing, the park was quieter than expected and we crammed loads in!

Yep, pleasant. Not too hot, not too cold. Perfect. Looking forward to seeing everybody tomorrow.
