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. _________________ El Toro My 200th coaster and first USA coaster (Also member of roll back club on TTD 2) RCCGB Member NO 1960 Back to top hazzzzeeee Junior Hyper Poster Joined: 01 Oct 2007 Posts: 191 Location: Portsmouth, Hampshire Posted: Tue Oct 02, 2007 4:06 pm    Post subject: I am really looking forward to loopy, I cant wait to ride oblivion and air!

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 Junior Hyper Poster Joined: 23 Sep 2007 Posts: 121 Location: Uni Room Posted: Wed Oct 03, 2007 9:50 pm    Post subject: Anyone want a diffrent type of ripsaw challenge???
