More events with the style of blows it up, they proved Thorpe park radio park wide works and it works well, more like this throughout summer please!

If you bought the pass at Thorpe as far as I know you need to get it re-printed there, but seeing as Thorpe Park is closed, and obviously other merlin attractions are open thats an interesting one, if I was you id give the annual pass team a ring and explain youve lost it and you wanted to use it on the london attractions and see if there able to help arrange a reprint at one of the london attractions. There number is 08444 77 44 44 If you do so, let us know what they say id be quite interested on that one as ive always thought having to get it re-printed at the attraction its bought at abit of a limitation.

Hopefully.. cant think of anything more boring to see on the news day in day out

Some nice free advertising for the park! From bbc.co.uk

To be fair, the red paint on the church in the testing videos there could be some truth in this one!!

Just had a look and looks quite good, just installed it and works on my phone :)Enjoy!

Rush is getting alot more than normal this year! Hopefully will help improve its reliability after not one of its best years, would also be nice if they repainted it, after its work a couple of years ago the arms look a mess with the different colour patched up metal!

Yes it is

Hi all,As you may (or may not!) know we are working on bringing you a new version of TPM this year, aiming to launch around the start of the 2012 season.A major step in bringing the new site to life will be Beta Testing, which will involve going over the site using its features and reporting any issues you come across and I think it would be nice to get some members of the community involved in this :)So if your interested in helping out and getting a sneaky new look at the new TPM drop me a PM letting me know your interested, along with which internet browser you use and we will select from there. CheersMarc

From the park

Rush is getting a little bit more TLC this year than usual, the top has been taken off along with half of each arm so when you go by the park most of its gone at the moment!

I dont see why they couldnt spin, Saw blades have been spinning for 3 years now with no problems, I guess we will have to wait and see !

I put good, love the ride, love the music, but for me the theming isnt great, what it has is nice by all means, but it dont have much of it!

It wasn't testing too often only actually saw it go around 3 times(null)

I wouldnt worry just yet, thorpe never announce the with the open times anyway.

Should be working now

What Neil said basically, although there seemed to be more actors around Saw - The Ride more in 2011 than 2010, even after the fire.But I dont get the "The event may be successful, financially, but the quality is poor." because whilst your right, there can be a big difference between the 2, theres only so long the "poor quality" would remain successful. I'm sure there will be actors around Swarm for the first year or so, then less and less untill the next big coaster

So then as you said, the Ents dept run fright nights, and like it or not, fright nights are often seen as successful so they must be doing somthing right? TBH bar TOTT I dont think towers mazes have much on thorpes, in my experience anyhow, and with the roaming actors across park I think they did pretty well during the 2011 fright nights.And your right regarding the building of the mazes, but as Sheepe said its more freelance company's now a days, but I imagine they still have a rather large input in the design overall.

Saw hardly had the best reliability come opening But hopefully mistakes have been learnt from and this will go abit smoother (literally too!)

And you base that on? Saw alive still does surprisingly well..The same department who also run the most successful event on park?

I have heard there will be a water bus service from the hotel to around where Vortex is, cant see it being Saw Alive though, its not even a proper boat anymore and sits on stilts.

New lockers are in the dome like the ones at alton towers which are electronic allowing you to hire a locker for the day and letting you go back to I throughout the day, hopefully these will be installed across the park.

I dont think it was, thats what caused the problem with using the name.Although personally I like Stealth more over The Edge

Merry Christmas to all from the Mania Hub team!

I think Detonator's planning permission was changed to permanently not so long ago
