Today was the last day on the trip for Bill and Jill, and we began at Thorpe
BaSSiStiSt:
Thorpe is in a pretty setting on some wetlands south of Heathrow
BaSSiStiSt:
This is their new-for-09 ride, based upon the popular (god knows why) torture porn series
BaSSiStiSt:
Noted
BaSSiStiSt:
Eurofighter signature move: go straight up
BaSSiStiSt:
Then go more than straight down
BaSSiStiSt:
Yikes! Right into a circular saw
BaSSiStiSt:
Just a few aircraft moving about overhead, lol
BaSSiStiSt:
I attempted to turn Gator in and they just laughed
BaSSiStiSt:
Hey Jill
BaSSiStiSt:
True to it's name, Saw is a bit tortuous
BaSSiStiSt:
It's a GREAT layout, marred a bit by some roughness...lotta air tho
BaSSiStiSt:
4 men in a log...some ECC friends came out to play
BaSSiStiSt:
Yay, SWAT! Errr...Slammer
BaSSiStiSt:
Duplicate of the SFNE ride, and just as fun
BaSSiStiSt:
Girlfriend and Jaybob in the left rear
BaSSiStiSt:
Colossus was next
BaSSiStiSt:
We had heard from a lot of people it was rough now
BaSSiStiSt:
If this was rough, it must have been smooth as a baby's bottom in the past
BaSSiStiSt:
We LOVED it!
BaSSiStiSt:
It's got a very cool layout, and it doesn't feel like you invert a gratuitous amount of times
BaSSiStiSt:
Well, until you get to these babies, anyways
BaSSiStiSt:
Around and around and around...
BaSSiStiSt:
Laid it on a little thick, but this last one was great
BaSSiStiSt:
Also enjoyed how the ride interacted with the walkways
BaSSiStiSt:
Colossus...awesome!
BaSSiStiSt:
Supposedly, Princess Diana's favorite ride
BaSSiStiSt:
Man, her career has fallen off...DIVORCE BLAKE!!
BaSSiStiSt:
Awesome powered coaster #37 of the trip
