Agreed, best trip to Thorpe ive had also, better than any Alton or Chessington trip ive had this year.Ride count:Stealth 3X :\ No way out 2Inferno 1Colossus 1Saw the Ride 1Vortex 1Samurai 1Rush 1Detonator 1Quantum 1CCR 1Rumba Rapids 1Slammer 1Saw Alive 1Storm In a Teacup 1Flying Fish 1The park was pretty busy yet still got on pretty much everything, I do fail to see how people manage to visit and ride hardly anything.

Any idea who the sponsor is?

Thorpe today was £5 for tomorrow, £10 for any day.

Ive found on the bars what have a bit of give (most of them) its fine, I rode recently and the bar didn't move atall and I did get abit of leg cramp.

And how do we not do this, ill go back again to the Peter Andre article, its not something we could add any more to to make it appeal to enthusiast's and make it any more "meaty" in any way what so ever. Of course, every bit of news is different for example posts about theming being repaired or what not will appeal to fan people more so than the GP. Ok and how do we not? You seem to think the GP are interested in rides height, speed, records, the ride pages display this, we have plenty dedicated to what would mainly interest fans such as Plans of rides, construction archives of plenty of rides also.

And as had been said, we do offer that.Anyway thanks for the comments, we will bare them in mind.

Quite easily IMO, we provide all the information members of the GP would ever like to know, and provide that bit more which interests enthusiasts. And we provide all that pretty well id like to think, but there going to be interested in things such as events, such as one you bought up the Peter Andre, thats going to be something who both the GP and Enthusiasts would be interested in. The link to the site makes it easy for people to take there interest further, also it makes it clearer to members of the GP we are not the official website for the park. There both here because of one thing, Thorpe Park surely? To be honest weve not had complaints before, but tell us, what would you say we should change out of interest? To a degree yes, and we do try our hardest too but we are only human, we cant all be exactly the same.

Primarily they are to appeal to fans, but we can not ignore the fact we also get a huge amount of the GP visiting us and cannot ignore this. Surely it does both? It informs people about the event, and those interested in it can easily find more information to visit.

Inferno hasnt had any nets added since it opened, must of been somthing falling off ..

Saw Alive will be closed on Friday 13th Due to a media event.From TP.com

I think the articles are wrote in a way in which they can appeal to all of the sites visitors, both the GP and Enthusiast groups, they give all the information an enthusiast would want to know, whilst giving that little bit more for the members of the GP who visit the site.You picked up on the link to their site to buy tickets, why is this a problem? It is relevant to the news post and helps anyone reading it who are interested in purchasing tickets.

Unless your friend was being an idiot being somwhere he shouldnt be I find that very hard to believe..

I'm not getting into the whole prove it etc its entirely your choice if you wish to believe me or not =p But with different loading/off loading system, breaks, lift hill apart from the actual steal work that's alot of differences between others.

Nope I dont, Might be somwhere on there site not sure.Would certainly explain all the problems compared to other eurofighters. (Before it was handed over to the park )

Depends how much has changed surely? A very complicated design... Which is why Inferno has problems in the rain. Slammer maybe, rush is pretty different to the previous one which held 4 people though. Granted yes, wouldnt say its "much more" complicated though No your right, the point I'm trying to make is they have allways been the park to try out new technology in different ways.

I'm pretty sure Gerstlauer consider it a prototype but there you go.Pretty sure Rush is too..

I'm pretty sure officially it is seeing as how much is different about it...Its different to any other eurofighter out there.

The lift hill works differently, the breaks and the dual loading / unloading is all new.

Slammer, Rush, Saw, Inferno are all pretty complicated rides too.. Saw and Rush being prototypes, I'm pretty sure Slammer is very different in the way it works to the one which was / is open in the states, Not sure about inferno but its Pre lift drop compecates things a fair bit and with another rumoured to open in 2012 too. As I said, not just rides too but general things, project link and Iphone apps for example, I think we will be seeing more like that in the future too. Its just allway's the impression ive got from the park.Edit: I'm in no way saying this is what makes them good rides and what not.

Not really, The forums just isnt really the place for people to vent hatred toward individual members of staff.. which is what we were trying to avoid in the first place.

Because its what works for the park, its no accident that for the past few years the park has had its best year ever each one of them, you compare to parks such as oakwood, its a different scale completely, would Saw ever run on 1 car and have no queue like speed does?

But you only have to look at how far they have bought the park forward, like youve stated records like the worlds first 10 looping coaster, Europes highest launch coaster really do grab peoples attention (more so the GP) and make them think wow, got to go there and ride that which in turn makes the park successful.Thorpe Park out of the 3 has always been the most advance imo in the way of technology used on rides and general running, I doubt we will see a change to this any time soon really.

Oh jack damm it
