i was really upset about the removal of TL from AT since the year i was actually able to ride it i.e. over the height it was taken away .....but got on one at Walibi in Belgium instead - was told it was just as good!!

Could you refrain from text language please? It took three takes to understand what you wrote, and I'm still not sure!:lol:

Erm no, I dont see the need to, and theres no need for the patronising explaination. I know exactly where you can shove it. But if we all have to spend ages de-crytping your messages, or being rude like that, you wont be welcome

To be honest i cant see why they didnt either move it or dig a long pit a few meters deep and bury it!

it was mainly down to the noise, however the height was also a side problem. Apparantly (i still don't beleive it...) the cows were giving birth at the wrong time of year??!!

Anyway, a big ditch would have hidden the sight, and reduced the noise, but it would have had to been bloody big!

Lol, replace "food" for "money" and we could see a new slogan for Rita here, when she ends up on the old street corner of retirement

Tussauds have never bettered the experience of Thunder Looper - It was simple, fast and totally unpredictable. You truly thought your were going to shoot off the end of the tower sonetimes. There was no 'safety' computer, block brakes etc - it was all done on physics. Nemesis, Air pah - this was a real ride - a shame it was kicked out by the do good local council.

TTD or KK - Top Thrill Dragster (5 hour queue for Kingda Pa!), Best Inverted - Nemesis AT (By a long shot) Best Dark Ride - Valhalla, Best Themeing - Amity Cove, Worst Park - 6fGA (what a rip off!),
