Surely thats abit different? I'm not sure if you remember but alot of research went into the Annual Pass situation, with standard and premiums, I certainly remember filling in a survey a while back about the different options so it must be what the majority of the many annual pass holders want

I guess ive come to the conclusion that moaning about things wont change much so may aswel just get on with it.. That dont mean I agree with everything they do.

I dont really see your point. All I'm trying to say is it shouldn't really come as a surprise, its something which has been the case well over a year now.

Most of them have some kind of acting qualification, I'm not too sure about which ones are required mind.

You would have signed your pass agreeing to the T&C's that this was the case, not really their fault if you didnt read them!

And thorpe are the only ones who bother to let people know?

Gates are closed for today now, only pre booked tickets will be able to get in.

I thought Thirteen had its brakes changed from Magnetic to Mechanical a few months after it opened so they could fully load the trains again?

Whilst I'm gutted its going I'm not in the very slightest surprised, its VERY costly to run, has its own problems which I guess would be costly to sort out and is not atall popular with the guests. It was always nice they bought it back and it actually lasted longer than I expected it too. I'm sure it will upset guests, as did Octopus Gardens but they do make it crystal clear what their target audience is and do strongly advise family's they should consider CWOA .

After running for 9 Hours yeah it was running well, I disagree times catching up on them though, IMO Colossus is running the best it has in years, whilst it still has the old problems of the restraints being abit of a pain, the ride its self runs well and is much smoother than it was 2/3 years ago. What I meant is the rides have to be half decent if there to have the effect, its no coincidence that 2004 and 2011 wernt great years for the park.

Barley aware of? I'm sure every one whos visited thorpe park in the last month are pretty aware of the ride opening next year by the way of adverts or seeing the construction them selves.IMO its impossible to always look at things from a fanboy POV because at the end of the day, its the 1000's of paying customers on the gate who really matter to the parks.

If they were not good why would people come to ride them? Why would people tell their friends about them and so on making the park the success it is today.What fanboys and the general public think are good are 2 very different things.

I love how fanboys brand the Intamins as awful, but they ignore the hard facts that its the Intamins which are the parks most iconic rides and have made the park what it is today...

The fright night musics now changed to last years one with the happy birthday at the start

A small update here: http://www.lc12.co.uk/

Fish is closed today

I'm sure it will be fine, and I'm sure if it isn't it will get sorted I do get the impression Diesel is probably right though , if it wasn't meant to be there I'm sure they would of got it out sharpish!

Storm surge has fright night music so does inferno.. Inferno being on the park wide will change at 4 though.

Thats been the case for ever, before and after project link rides have had individual audio changed and that will play all day, until 4pm when the park area music changes They are different, although both being Saw tracks I guess they are quite similar tooIm not sure about audio this year, I'm glad theyve changed more than last year, I also like how every hour on the hour the Fright Nights happy birthday track plays park wide, that sounds pretty funky

http://www.lc12.co.uk/A update from today here.

Where the whole of the parks audio was linked up.To be fair, its not that bad, infact alot of works gone into it this year and its alot better, speakers which havent for years now work, new zones and a hell of a lot equipment has been replaced.
