I love it when Jack comes back every year or so to complain about Fastrack at Thorpe.
It's like when Steve posts every now and then to tell us how **** Merlin are. It's like a comfort blanket.
The operator would switch the lights off (switch in the console) and I believe to not play the launch audio they'd use the mic to override it.
They've stopped doing these now thankfully. They were good fun a good few years ago, but when the word got spread and people were asking for them every other launch they got very boring.
Just looking at photos from Theme Park Guide... 54 days until opening? It feels like a rush to me 👀 I'm sure Thorpe Park knows what they are doing... They always know what they are doing... Right?!
