    I am going to Thorpe Park tomorrow, yay!I had just convinced myself to go on the SAW ride (I hate horror films) and plucked the up the courage when I found out that because of the SAW ALIVE fire, actors had moved to the queue of the coaster.This has completely put me off, I hate the idea of SAW ALIVE because of gory make up, pigmasks and people jumping out at you, so now to have this on the ride has completely freaked me out.So my question is..Will they were there tomorrow? Will they be there only at the peak times of the day? I am guessing the park won't be too busy tomorrow so I am more likely to get picked on by the actors. This is really worrying me!Also, what do they…

    Hi guys, I suffer with panic attacks and have done on and off for the past 10 years. recently I had a setback and take diazepam when I go out. Anyway, I love theme parks but am a bit of a wuss when it comes to the bigger rides. I'm not great on spinny rides (vomited after dragons fury once!), love water rides and some rollercoasters. Biggest coaster I have been on is Space Mountain at DLP. I have a big fear of puking mid-ride - dont mind being sick after the ride but the thought of barfing on other people fills me with fear! Though saying that I was fine on Rameses Revenge! Also the anxiety before riding is very similar to a panic attack which probably puts me off. …

    I'll probably sound pretty stupid, and I think I already have an answer anyway but just wanted to check.The seat belts on rides like Nemesis Inferno and Colossus, what are they for? My guess is extra safety for if the top-restraint fails, but I'm pretty skinny and, looking in the station at a seat with its belt still attached, doesn't look very safe for me xD

    I know it's very early days, but my friend told me at Annual Pass day yesterday (Sunday 13th March 2011), that one of the new flat rides was to open this year. I highly doubt this is true because of Storm Surge and LC12 but it got me thinking, does anybody know/have any ideas about what the flat rides will be and when they will open? They don't have to be entirely true by the way, just what you would like to see.Thanks, Jack

    I was just wondering if anybody knows what the Thorpe Park 2011 Map looks like. I'm expecting it to be similar to last years, but I'd like to see the addition of Storm Surge. Forgive me If I'm wrong, but I seem to remember the map being released before Annual Pass Day and the Official Opening in 2010. Does anybody have a link or source where I can find it (if it's been released yet that is )Secondly, does anybody know if Storm Surge will be open for tomorrow (Annual Pass Day) I have 5 people coming with me who all want to ride it, so it would nice to be able to know before the actual event.Thanks, Jack

    Hi, I'm going to the annual pass day on Sunday and, just to get myself into the mood for the first day of the season, I started to browse through Thorpe Park's website.After looking on the 'Ride Photography' section I noticed that Detonator is now on the list. I don't ever recall being able to get photos on Detonator, and seeing it's now on the website, I've gathered you must be able to for the new season. Does anybody know any information/details about this?Thanks, Jack

    Whilst no actual leaflet with all this year's info has been produced, it seems new rulings are on the website:http://www.thorpepark.com/plan-your-visit/disabled-guide.aspxNear the bottom, where it's got 'Helpers / Companions', we've got this:"Only one helper per disabled guest can use the access pass on any of our THORPE PARK rides and attractions."The entire section seems to be written as if there can only be 1 helper on a ride as well. Under Ride Access higher up, it says something about for safety reasons about the number of disabled guests, blah blah blah, you may have to divide into smaller groups - which is impossible if there's only 2 people, which could mean that…

    Hey,I am going to Thorpe with my nan soon, but she hates rides. Shes only going because she said she would take me. So anyway, I'm going to be on all rides by myself. I was wandering...What rides have single rider?Where do I go if I am single rider? On rides without it, do I tell a ride op or something?Thanks in advance.
