  1. Visiting next Sunday.. Any one know what rides are broken? :)Serious note, huge thumbs up to Thorpe, all rides are running fantastically so far this year (Yes even Stealth now!)Hope this continues into the summer and beyond!
  2. I'm pretty sure Thorpe hit over 2 million last year...in fact I'm certain :)Either way interesting to see a rough guide!
  3. The pools are still there with water just no waterfalls =[
  4. Mc Donalds! Mc bacon roll in morning, hamburger at lunch and nuggets for dinner, I do it regularly!
  5. I find saws "roughness" to be a very different kind to that of any other ride ive been on, unless something has changed I personally cant bare front row Saw, I get a massive headache from the second drop, and then a few other parts around the ride despite never actually smacking my head against the bar, where as rides like Colossus, Stealth where there's sometimes evident vibrations, (no way are they "rough") its perfectly easy to brace your self against it and have an enjoyable ride.Saying that I know many people dont seem to be effected by the Saw jolt, but at the same time know many who are, its kind of strange really!
  6. Very good trip to thorpe today...Few things I noticed!Hi to Josh C!Colossus- Its so quiet and smooth now, it sounds like its new, not sure whats happened!Reliability - Fantastic, only ride I saw go down was Stealth for no longer than 10 / 15 minsQueues - Good, park was reasonably busy but queues were kept down by staff working hardSaw Alive - New music inside, sounds pretty goodInferno - Mist seems to have kind of died, shame hope its fixed soonRide count:Stealth - 3 (2 front) - Amazing ride :)Colossus 2Detonator 2CCR 2Quantum 1Slammer 1Rush 1Fish 1Carousel 1Inferno 1

    Sound check complete.
  8. You seemed to miss the points I have made, can you tell me how this is discrimination? If the team has had concerns raised to them, we are in a position to act and do the best for all of our members. Being official changes nothing, I can assure you that.
  9. Not the case atall, we are well aware we are not able to stop anyone seeing anyone, and we are not trying to do this. That is up to them. As said, we cant stop any members attending the park, we have kindly asked banned members do not attend the mania hub events. Thats up to you, we are not in the position to discuss the reasons behind peoples bans to anyone on here, its not fair on any member in question. I'm intrested to see why you think this is discrimination, as a forum and community we have a legal obligation to do what we feel is best to protect members and visitors of the site.
  10. They did, the pool was repainted again this year too.
  11. The one good thing about the Tories is they sound like they really want to get people who are off work and sponging of the government back into work, and helping them do so.Apart from that wouldnt trust them as far as I can throw them, the economic recovery is important, I think ill be voting Labour!

    break a leg
  13. Its in answer to some concerns to us which were raised last time. I dont really think its that unusual that banned members are are asked not to attend the meets.
  14. Not close really, ones pretty much at the end of the circuit!
  15. We do always advise you think before posting, not after =]
  16. Out of interest, what do you base "Failed miserably" on? The fact the marketing stunts get so much discussion to me says there doing exactly what there meant to, fanboys have very different opinions to that of the GP
  17. That artwork on thorpes facebook is fantastic, best bit of artwork from a theme park in ages IMHO, very impressed. Regarding the marketing stunts, usually there all pretty good, IMO the best for me was the Say No To BO, for it to be the most read story on the BBC is one hell of an achievement, it got people talking (not only on coaster forums!) and the park hit capacity the next day, doing pretty much exactly what its meant to do.
  18. Park: Thorpe ParkDate: Sunday 30th May 2010Meeting point: Stealth sitting rocks.Time:01:00pmAfter much demand for a meet we have now arranged our next meetup at Thorpe Park on Sunday 30th May. The park opens at 9:30 and close at 6:00pm, the meetup will start at 1:00pm at Stealth at our usual place! ADVICE: We strongly advise you to eat before 1pm so there are no hold-ups throughout the day which means the group will be able to enjoy the rides!Dont forget your welcome to bring guests along to the meet, but we kindly ask that banned members are not invited for obvious reasons.If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask one of the team!Send me a PM so I can add you to the list!We hope to see you there!Thanks,ManiaHub Team.Attending (14):MarcIan (meal only)PeterMikeyTDanRyanJames EllerbyProfessor XChrisSmart GuyTPKabzEllie-Rob FMaybeWill
