Lets hope Gerstlauer have learnt from their mistakes with Saw, its interesting / strange how this happened to 2 coasters opening in the uk within 2 years of eachother! Do agree though, Th13teen for what it is, is a decent ride, but to be fair theres not many rides how which are not way over hyped!

How on earth can you say they have mucked up after just 3 Fright nights? Maybe we should wait till the end of the event, if it all goes wrong then ok, if theres no more than the normal then I think its safe to say they havent mucked up

I guess that makes Colossus the best coaster in the world till next year then?

Lets come back to this thread at the end of fright nights and see if your right? I trust management's choices in this matter and trust the parks security team to make sure I'm safe when I visit as a guest. Its not in the parks interests for people to get injured for them to save some money really is it?

Well its into its 4th day of being open.. Significantly more than "half a public cycle" The rides been sat there 18 weeks doing not much, I would expect it to have minor issues till been running properly for a couple of weeks tbh.

2 Places are now available for anyone who wishes to join us

Its funny, the BK sign over the entrance of the one in Canada Creek has come down and been replaced by a temporary one, it seems far to early to be starting things like that but odd all the same. I believe KFC signed a new contract with TP the year the others got rid of them, not sure about PH but ive heard its the most profitable one in europe?!

165 seconds is a fair bit longer than Saw isnt it? and that is actually impossible to hit the advertised 1200 (I believe Thorpe were not happy and Gerstlauer came in to try make it possible and they couldnt) and that gets around 1000pph.

You dont HAVE to pre-book, its just recommended in case the park hits capacity so you dont have a wasted trip. You can pay the £5 when you get there and the events tickets windows.

The foods good but there never as fast as the true "fast food" outlets, they will need to improve on this if they are to do this at Thorpe, especially as the burger king gets stupidly busy some days.

Thats not even possible? They have atleast 2 in the 2 consoles and somone to check bars.

Well if we get an idea of who wants to do it I can book in the week and you all give me the monies?

And as Ryan said..

The places for the tour have now all gone, if you are on the list and cant make it please let me know so we can free up the place for somone else If you didnt make the tour your still more than welcome to join us around the park We've been asked about The Passing and time slots, I'm wondering if its worth us booking this in advance in one go to make sure we all get the same slot..?

^ Agreed, you can argue it has a low throughput, but low throughput or not if people didnt like it, people wouldnt be prepared to queue the long queue times it gets.

Yep Slammers back up and running

Storm Surge is back open

Samurai is going back together now, all going well I guess that could be up and running early next week! Slammer testing abit more today, restriction board gone back up, I guess this will be any day now? (I hope!)

The restriction board has gone back up too now.. Must be getting close

Carousel was open today but closes when the Asylums open I think these "major" incidents are being taken abit out of context here really, such as the conveyer slip, it was open the next day, what may look major and shocking in pictures might not be as major in reality from the parks operational / engineering POV

Got to disagree with this, compare thorpes investments to the others over the last 10 years there Way ahead in that terms and would probably be no less that.

One more space left guys!

I guess we can all book at the same time to try all be as close as possible. No, it will be a lights on tour so no actors / effects on The first 10 places are already gone, so make sure you let me know as soon as possible if you wish to come along!

Its that time of the year once again and we will be holding our annual Fright Night meetup! The meet will be on Saturday 20th October and we plan to meet at 1PM at Stealth sitting rocks as usual The meetup will include a behind the scenes tour of Experiment 10, which returns with a twist this year! The tour will be at 2:30pm and once the tour concludes we will be at the front of the queue for when the maze opens at 3PM! Please note that numbers for the tour are strictly limited to 20 people and will be on a first come first served allocation and you will be required to PM me to confirm your attendance, the first 20 will be able to take part on the tour and join us at the front of the queue. Please note cameras will not be permitted on the tour and breaking this rule could spoil future exclusives from the park. Date: Saturday 20th Time: 1PM Where: Stealth Sitting rocks PLEASE NOTE: Places for the tour of Experiment 10 are now gone. If you are on the list and not able to make the tour for any reason, please do let me know so we can free up the space for someone else. Attending meet + Tour (Limited to 20!)
