I had priority passes when I went, so I entered via the exit and boarded first. The ride then stopped immediately outside of the shed!
Kind of
Waiting and the ride before missed the lift up the second large hill.
It was evacuated
Luckily I was not on
Did get a go, felt like I was snapped in half after the second drop

Everything was not working well when I was there a few years back, The Ultimate was broke for half the day and some people were stuck on one ride for a few minutes. Worst part of that day was someone getting lost so the college staff had to go find her so we had the "joy" of spending an hour on a coach on top of the 90 minute journey back to Durham, made longer by roadworks on the A1(M).
Been through the car park of Lightwater Valley on the Dales and District service 159 recently.

I can't believe how Chelsea have started this season, they are 3-1 down to Southampton!

Mane was unreal like. Chelsea's title hopes are over as far as I'm concerned.

I have to agree. The only team I can see winning the title now is Manchester City unless they follow in Chelsea's footsteps.

I wouldn't rule Man United out either. Out of them two I'd imagine. It's the race for Europe spots I think will be interesting. Southampton, Leicester and Crystal Palace all have a chance I'd say!

I think Man City should have too much quality but football is a funny old game. I agree with the European spots though, that could be interesting.

Yeah if they can get Kompany fit and keep Aguero, Silva and de Bruyne fit, there must be big problems if they can't win the title.
Dan seems of disappeared... has he being abducted by aliens?
What's the big fascination with the Ladyboys of Bangkok? Has anyone been to see the show and, if so, what's it all about?

Its just ladyboys dancing i think, i'm sure that's what my friend said it was when she went.

I have once and it really isnt that good but they do make it humorus.
It is a load of ladyboys miming and dancing along to a load of songs. Oh and, if you ever go along, don't put water in your bag (or make it obvious that you have water/other drink) because they tend to search and confiscate it so you need to buy theirs (which is priced at around £3.00 per bottle!)

No idea, it always seems to pop up in Newcastle around this sort of time every year.

Sounds awful. Certainly not my cuppa tea but they seem to draw the crowds each time they're here. Just curious that's all.
Who is watching the Rugby at Sid James' tonight New Zealand v Tonga...
Must admit, I support New Zealand over England as I saw an NZ Representative team play in the early 90's, almost certain it was at Gateshead Stadium...
And declared my love for the All Blacks after being totally mesmerised by the Haka
Quite a few drivers down here in Bristol wear hoodies when they drive busses. Out of interest, is this allowed elsewhere?

How's everyone finding the 5p carrier bag charge? I decided to buy a bag for life thing from USC a few days before the charge came in. Some people aren't happy about this, I was in Sunderland on Saturday and I saw a woman carrying a load of shopping in her arms presumably not wanting to pay for carrier bags.
