First time I think for 3 years with the club anyway. I am not doing Drayton as not really likening it over the last few years. But Clare is and look out for coaster enthusiast Thomas as he will ride anything given half a chance. _________________ Memeber of the 08 Top Thrill Rollback Club +  Member of the "First to be denied SAW by Technical Failure" club.

We are not doing drayton as we had already booked onto the alton towers behind the scenes tour for that day, which should be fab Hopefully all of you doing drayton will have more luck at the park than we did last saturday as it truly was a poor day out, hopefully they will get the 2nd train out on shockwave for you all unlike last weekend and what appears to be pretty much all year from what has been mentioned on other forums. _________________ Back to top Coaster Toaster Hyper Poster Joined: 23 Sep 2007 Posts: 258 Location: Near Swindon Posted: Wed Oct 03, 2007 9:50 pm    Post subject: Anyone want a diffrent type of ripsaw challenge???
