Know I haven't been on much lately and thats been because I've been working 7 days a week for ages. Had my first day off today to go to Alton Towers (theme park) to try the new ride there called "air". OMG, I nearly shat myself it was so good.

Its like a normal roller coaster except you sit in the seat which then tilts right back so you feel as if you're flying like superman. I went right at the front and I'd recommend it to anyone. We also did all the other "big" rides at the front too, like the Nemisis and the Oblivion too. The Oblivion is (supposed to be) the worlds 1st vertical drop coaster and it always makes me scream like a girl every time.

See you all real soon.

I hate amusement parks! Why anyone would pay to be scarred shitless is beyond me!!
i think all amusement parks should be closed!!

Don't tell Edna that. She just got promoted.

My favorite ride is the freefall. they take you 13 stories high and drop you! All the while down your eyes are drying up but its worth it!

So she lives in London and has to drive all the way to work? Wasn't her job out in the country someplace?

Congratulations Edna!

She only works there during the holiday, when she's not in London.

Amusment parks are ok, but things like bungy jumping seem crazy to me

Anyone ever been on StarTours?

Pretty sweet.

I'm thinking of going to the theme park that Edna works at during the summer cus its only a half hour drive from my house. Haven't been there in ages and I do believe they've got a new ride.

Yp, they do.

Edna seems 'mysteriously' happier about Drayton Manor now that she''s not at the bottom of the heap any more (and about bloody time they promoted her, too!).

Some of us should go down there as a group this summer to see her at work...

I thought Star Tours was laaaaaaame...

You're. . . . lame. . .

I went to Alton Towers and whilst it was OK the primary problem was that it was too full and that meant that we opnly got to go on about 4 rides and ended up spending more time at the bar...

Star Tours at Disney on the other hand is great Disney and Universal have a much better idea about theme parks as they at least try and marginally entertain you whilst waiting, the closest I found in Alton Towers was the Video used on the run up to Oblivion which was reasonable...

A group trip to Drayton Manor.... cool... In that case, Texas, we'd all be paying to scare Edna shitless..

I do Hersheypark about five years or so....its pretty cool. You can smell chocolate in the air the whole time.

I smell that when you and I do dangerous rides.

You mean those ones we found on the 245th floor of the Death Star ?

And on the 244th. And on the 243th. And on the 242th.... just about any level the turbo lifts would take us.

Oooooohh! No no no no no! You don't want to be coming to Drayton Manor. It's really small, terribly overpriced and a complete dump! Don't want to be going there at all. Besides you won't see me anyway as I will hide away in the office pretending I am doing terribly important things so you cannot find me! Ha!

Oh and Mech the new ride is as lame as lame can be. It may look good and have a cool name but the overall effect is kind of like the pirate ship but not even as good as that! Total rubbish!

Well that about sums it up.

Ah, shame about the new ride...

But I refuse to be put off! I WILL go one day!

how come I want to go now?

Speaking of theme parks:

My city Nashville lost our theme park a few years ago. It was Opryland. They tore it down so they could put a mall in it's place. Now we are getting a new one possibly. It's called Thrillopolis. It will be a smaller one but it will have a water park a few rollercoasters and some other rides. But the cool thing is it will be completely inside a building. So that means year long theme park!!!

Thrillopolis!!! Classic!

I agree, yerss, her attemps to put us off don't work, do they?

I think she is worried about all the extra work we will cause for her now she has been promoted.

what if we all visit her there and all file a complaint so we have to keep her awake?

keep me awake?

The shock of seeing us all will definately awaken you.

I don't remember saying I would be asleep!

I didn't know they tore down Opryland.

Thrillopolis ? Sounds like a 1950's thing. Cool.

no Edna, that's because we will prevent that from happening

Yeah they tore down Opryland theme park (Not the Grand Ole Opry) and replaced it with a mall that is really expensive. The stupid thing is the company getting the mall said that if they tore down Opryland they would build a couple Coasters in the mall itself. So Opryland agreed. But the company didn't build them and have no plans to in the future.

How wude.

Big promotion eh Edna......does this mean you're gonna be selling those curly fries at DM?

Or maybe the frosty drinks???

Well, I've got time clear this summer. I still vote that we go and see!

Hmmm.... intewesting.

Very. And if she hides we can complain about her!

Don't worry, we'll find her. If we have to tear apart every little construction at that place.

Good plan. Summer it is then.

Perhaps.... it has to be a surprise of course.

So at all costs keep Edna out of this thread!!!

what can we do? close the door? but she will kick it in!

We could ban her, but that would just make her think we hate her.

or put a sign out "no edna allowed"

We could tie her up, but that would just make her mad...hmm...

Maybe close this thread to her but open it to others?

Is that possible?

I'll tie her up.

and you will do that ........... how?

Ush is just being kinky.

Maybe not. Maybe I just hate her.

And then what will you do, Ush?

I don't even know why we're trying to keep Edna out, I'm just joining in conversation.

Same here cause I'm nosey.

I have a few suggestions...

Please post them

Can you suggest why we're keeping Edna out?

to irritate Ush

I was thinking about the tying her up bit.

Queeq is trying to steal Edna from Ush! Shoot to kill!

no! grab the popcorn and the soda!

The idea is to keep her out so as not to give awayb the surprise of seeing her at her theme park.

Best not to bother, though, Let her know of the possibility, she won't stop us!

And enjoy the show. Well, I am.

or perhaps she will quit the job then we will never succeed in irritating her in RL...

No, that's the point! She just got promoted, she won't leave! Now we can safely go there!

ok, buy me the tickets and I'll be there tomorrow morning!

No good, she's back at Uni now. We need to wait until Summer.

but mesa bussy then!

to bad for u

but I'll be able to squize it in my program...

good for you

it is? really?

Take along a picture of me and I'll pretend to be there.

a real size one?

I have one.... life size on cardboard. With some...errr.... special features.

i know ive cum in here really late but i work at a themepark called chessington world of adventures. t is part of the madame tussauds group along with alton towers thorpe park madame tussaudes itself(london lasvegas new york and hong kong) the london eye the london planetarium and heide park in germany. i get free tickets to all of these and am going to alton towers in the summer hols because it sounds mental! wish me luck!

What language are you writing in?

Me no speak.

*gets Raz's dictionary, scratches head*

wasn't any problem understanding that!

I didn't know you spoke brit-teen, mah !

I understood it all okay Gundy.

Maybe thats because I'm still "down" with the kids.

that's not how it works, you see gundy! I usually speak norwegian, but that doesn't prevent me from understanding other languages...and the opposite: I learn and speak german at school, but I understand nothing of it!

Normally I would have posted something in German to that mah... but truth is... same here actually

We'll have to open an official Drayton Manor thread sometime soon.

And stop being so mean to BG!

thanxs ush! how was i writing weird?

owwww! Humble knight Ush to the rescue!

Isn't that a Kodac moment?

Kodak.

Fujichrome

Just hurry up and take the picture... oh. Where did BG go?

down to kokomo

Gundy, I wrote it wrong, otherwhise I had to pay royalties
