True, but 10 years on that level of investment seems to continue at Thorpe with LC12 round the corner, a hotel and no doubt another coaster just after that.I'm sure the next few years will be interesting for both thats for sure..

When you consider how quickly THORPE PARK has caught up in such a short space of time, along with the actual physical size and capacity's of the parks, its not really that impressive is it surely? But then its not all about gate figures..I'm on the fence with this one, for me, over the past couple of years altons lost its "magic" for me, the place has the same flaws which you see at any merlin theme park, and like the others look past them its possible to have a decent day out.

Nice idea.. only problem being ive never had any decent signal up there for it to be any use!

Seemed to start abit earlier this year.From the TP site: Good of them to warn on their site.

Whats wrong with that? Is it not a good thing they are asking their target what thye would like at their event?

I guess this is because the operator couldnt see that everyone was sitting in the correct position so them not to get trapped when the bars come down on them.

Thorpe Blast looks like it will be returning this year, just not under that name , I guess we will see the event confirmed quite soon.This dont really bother me as I cant go, but its an intresting idea and quite reaonsably priced, I guess its just a trial to see how it goes, if it goes well great if not theyve not lost much trying.

Thorpe park have released some details about "Reload" a under 18s club night planned to be held on parkFrom their facebook event: What are peoples opinions on this? its just £10.20 for Annual pass holders, will you be heading down?

Just a heads up the parks been packed over the past week and I guess it will be now untill the school trips are over.

What Lauren has said is true and can happen.

So what, loggers leap is aloud to open why? Its been like it for years, if it was a problem, like dragon falls it wouldn’t open surely..

Aslong as they keep it to the right areas its fine, At the mo the chart musics on the beach, entrance and dome, that seems fine with me personally.

Its the country lady gaga version, it does fit in. There are some good new songs, but I think the old loops was better personally.

C'mon URZ!

No one was actually on the ride when this happened, it was during morning tests

Saw - The Ride's open again =]

Stealth / Storm Surge opened yesterday and stayed open later than the rest of the park because of them opening late, Colossus opened today.

Saw the Ride will be around for a very long time yet. This isn't a sponsorship say like Tidal's and what not.

Perfect, thanks!

Surely its more the case of how much the advertising company is willing to pay rather than if Merlin want to do it subtlety or not.. I'm guessing the more they pay the more in your face they will have it..

Anyone got / know where the pictures are of Detonator in 2001 / 2002 before its entrance was moved for Nemesis Inferno and the bits of theming around the catch car?

Fences have been put up around the attraction and the path closed again, lots of activity around it too, looks like works started

I think the one in America has had a load more problems than Slammer ever has, I dont think it will go any time soon personally, theyve spent alot of time on the ride and to be fair it does run pretty well now, last year it ran for most of the year pretty well apart from obviously the long bit of downtime towards the end of the year, but I dont beleave that was a reliability problem as such?
