Credit your self!

You will be counting a very long time! =p All in good time!

Here is some Fright Nights 2008 Audio! Enjoy!

Phill has left the team!

This season I would think so yea, would go to Guest Services to find out though.

My last go on Colossus was actually amazing, 3 from back, train 2, was smooth as anything and loved it!

On the station, pretty much the same as the ones on Thorpes entrance.

Unfortunately only way to get signatures back is to go back and use the previous version of the skin, if you would like to use it please let me know.

I had ice on my car this morning =[

Oh yea I totalaly agree its a long long way off yet, but I do think it is the future.

Well I look on there website and it says OK thats what gmail does..

Erm yes you could, this is more like a whole OS over the clouds, not just a few bits of personal data. Think of it like a terminal server I guess just over the net and a whole lot bigger!

No it doesn't.

I can imagine it did, but the problem is thorpe dont have a path of anything like that to achieve that kind of atmosphere, Smoke is used on Samurai, Inferno and the Bridge, along with the Fire effects at the entrance. It all comes down to budgets, actors are far from cheap, its not really worth it. Why? What ride could you realistically achieve that on at thorpe? Fright nights is an EXTREMELY successful event, this is a case of you, wanting more more more.

Following on from my last post, was abit out of it!Both the events are extremely different, and cater for totality different people due to the different target audiences. Do you really think trick or treat doors or something like that would go down well at Thorpe, I don't because its clear the vast majority go to walk through the mazes. You also forget to mention the Circus of Horrors show, which is again vastly popular. Whilst thorpe dont have much or even any general theming around the park apart from the entrance, (Where could it go?!) most rides have there own bits, some more than others, with efforts put in by staff.

I know I dont work in a theme park, but I'm also pretty sure that 5 entire samurai rides would not be just fastrack people. Fastrack people do and have to q more than 10 miniutes. There are new signs in fastrack q's such as stelath "Queue time from this point aprox 45 mins" etc!

All rides do have their own music (unless the link broke again?!). Vampire music also plays under the dome. At the end of the night, Vampire music plays park wide. All other rides have their own individual music.

Probably right, but like all the parks, I expect it has strict budgets to hit..And I never saw vampire, unfortunately it was closed when I went.

Windows Azure Microsoft have unveiled their new "Cloud Computering" Imo its the way things are going, one day we will all use somthing like this I think.

Samurai has smoke, entrance has smoke and lights and fire, all rides have dedicated FN music and what not. IMO there very different events, the money from running one of thorpes mazes for just one night would probably out spend the money spent on theming.. But I'd take the 4 mazes, carnival of bizzare and 12 hour openings over theming / a few effects around the park anyday personally!

Granted, but that unfortunately dont really help the people who have already travelled to the park

There though, you have a valid point IMO.

IMO merlin parks are good at getting rides which are down up and running again, My last 2 visits to thorpe, X:\ has been advertised as closed all day, but both times it has opened later in the evening, for no more than 2/3 hours some would say a ride such as x:\ wasnt worth it, but it shows they do make the effort to get the rides up and running where they can.
