Nemesis isn't butter smooth anymore, but it's still way smoother than the smiler and many many much newer coasters. Interesting to hear about the supports being the thing needing replacing rather than the track, would towers/Merlin just replace them when the time comes and keep the track?

If you're on one of the first smiler trains then just head straight to Oblivion at 10:05 and you probably have a very short wait.

Not sure how it works in other areas of the country but because a lot of Thorpe's traffic comes from London there are 32 councils that each chose their inset days rather than a whole county like Staffordshire. I remember my Dad took us a few times when we had inset days and Thorpe would be dead...

There is a large covered area with tables and chairs at Thorpe. Right at the back (or is it the front) past the flat rides and near the path that goes the back way to SAW.

Just wanted to say I had an absolutely wonderful ride on Wicker Man last Tuesday. Was right at the back near the end of the day and honestly the back row is far far superior to the front/middle. I thought I was going to be launched into space with some of the airtime I got.

It's doesn't even take a lot to please many vegans, have a vegan sausage roll available at all hot food outlets for example. Have some vegan mayo sachets available, change the recipe of the doughnuts to remove the egg and milk etc. 1 thing they did have which surprised me was vegan magnums at...

My girlfriend and I went for 2 days last week. She is a vegan and I tend not to eat much meat and if I do it's probably chicken or fish. We found the choice pretty poor tbh, especially for her. The first day we went for an early lunch in Woodcutter's and that was actually very nice, if a bit...
