  1. 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?
  2. 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..?
  3. ^ 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.

    Slammer

  5. Storm Surge is back open
  6. 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!)

    Slammer

    The restriction board has gone back up too now.. Must be getting close
  8. 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

    2013 Changes

    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.
  10. 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!
  11. 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!)

    Samurai

    More proof they expect it to reopen this season
  13. I think the sound systems still abit broken at the moment, vortex and zodiac still have their individual sound tracks as does Rush. It just depends on the operator pressing the button to play them! Your right about the dome having lost its music, although thats been like that a couple of years now
  14. Whats been sacrificed where?
  15. Marc

    MTDP

    Agree with that, but the GP seem to like it, I can see Neptunes / Depth charge going and Storm Surge would have even more of a point to it though.

    Storm surge isnt going to be removed any time soon... I'm sure the 2016 coaster will happen, whilst its true the park isnt as busy as I guess they hoped, hopefully things will improve if the economy does next year.
  17. Colossus is down for work to Colossus and no other attractions, the cherry pickers around the area give that much away!
  18. It was pretty busy last weekend and both days were extended till 6pm, alot of it depends on the weather and what not!
  19. Marc

    The Smiler

    I hope they put more effort into it than they have the MS Paint logo! lol
  20. It's not been the best recently , although if true about Colossus it sounds like its planned but still not good.. Although hopefully slammer will be back this week!
  21. Marc

    The Smiler

    And what a let down that was It certainly dont live up to "the worlds most intense rollercoaster experience" Although back to SW7 I guess this wont be a worlds first then, more breaking an existing record?
  22. The music at rush is chart music, remember anything atall about the song?
  23. I'd say ride reliability is a weird one, whilst on the face of it they look much worse than the others I'm not sure if they are... If we start with the disaster of Saw, if you consider the fact the ride was having all sorts of issues before it even opened and was being tested, a process TP would have little input in, and then on its opening day the ride manufacture had to come out and install trim brakes not too sure you can blame them for that. Swarm has suffered too, pictures on Facebook of bolts popping every other day, from the manufacture who are meant to be the best at what they do, again do you blame Tp for this or is there little they can do, bolts are checked but they can't keep an eye on then all day every day so when they pop it equals down time. And then there's slammer and rush where I think the park deserve alot of credit, when they opened they were stupidly unreliable, but the park has worked on them and they run well ( when slammer does!!) and the amount of money actually spent on slammer where most parks could just as easily give up I think is very good of them
