There simply must be a reason for them to do this, its somthing what will without doubt cause complaints so its not somthing they will take lightly. I dont think you can compare internet trolling to the health and safety of people.

Cost mainly I guess, staffing on some rides can be reduced on one train, cost of electric sending around double the amount of trains, especially if its very quiet could be sent around mainly empty.

The old musics back

It dont really bother me personally, id rarther it opened on time (infact opening half hour earlyer than advertised) on 1 train than open later on 2 but that might just be me

Is the park still opening 30 mins earlier than advertised? They do seem to open it on one train quite often and upgrade it to two within 20 mins or so of it being open.

So thats where infernos wheel covers are... Wish they would get them fixed / replaced!

In the past you wasnt able to, the units at thorpe added at the last minute didnt have what I'm guessing was a data connection so they had basic tills, Colossus this year now has a normal till as does Swarm, not sure about Saw but I expect it will do.

Its for under 18s so they cant sell alcohol legally, I'm sure there will be alcohol at any over 18 ones!

Nice to see you on here Lewis.. I remember you from the days of you coming over to Samurai shutdowns.. eek long time ago :ph34r:Well done with the audio, the whole area all sounds great and fits in very well On a side note I noticed on Sunday the sound effect as you go under the plane had stopped working, I hope they fix this soon!

We ran an upgrade, looking at a few small issues now

Was also nice to hear some areas sounding slightly less hi-pitched, still some work to do though but getting there!

I'm glad the old ones back too.. I doubt those who like the new one more remember it in the old days how the theme / countdown would play across the entire queue, used to be great! (null)

For the record, Colossus was closed because of Sick, it ran fine apart from that

On the flip side somone commented on Thorpe's Colossus picture saying it was still there best ride !

Samurai only has 6 cycles, they are programmable by the parks engineers as and when they feel.

Nope, back at admissions / bridge / lower dome and beach.

The pop music is back

Happy Birthday... I think its been good for all 10 of them....

I thought it was part of an old tram / rail system which used to run through the park and was just adapted for theming the ride?

Its had them since day one, I remember back in 2005 when it rained they had huge covers for the paddles to try keep them as dry as possible, its odd how this dont seem to affect rush though.Its a shame but with all the above taken in to consideration, the ride cant have that long left, can it?

Nah photos will be closed, cant see many selling to be fair!Just to keep all updated who cant come along to the meet in the day, the plan is to meet over at Roast and Relish just before 5pm, from there we will be taken over to THE SWARM when its clear of guests :)Any questions please do ask!

Its quite easy to extract the information before it even reaches the app.

I beleave they are taken from the Thorpe Park app, which unfortuantly isnt the most reliable source of queue times as they are often last to get updated!

It wouldnt surprise me if Slammer dont last much longer, its had a terrible last 2 years with over a month of downtime each year, its slow to load, its not very popular and it seems to now shutdown each day just after lunch for "checks". Its hardly ideal for the park and if it has another bad year wouldnt be surprised in the slightest if it goes.
