Its just there to look abit better.

Good day today, all rides were open from when I arrived at around 10:15/10:30 till when I left at closing, saw 2 small shutdowns which were on Rumba Rapids and Colossus.

I'm guessing, like loggers it has broken and is awaiting a part, and will be fixed when the part arrives and they have time.

Detonator tested abit today but failed to open.

Happy hardcore or somthing like that I think.

I never ment theming dont make a difference because of course it does, but to 99% of the visitors to thorpe, things like stealth are seen as amazing regardless.

Chaz is totaly right, people go to a place like thorpe for the rides and nothing more, and at the end of the day if a ride such as stealth was amazingly themed or not, it wouldnt make a blind bit of difference, sure people may notice bits and bobs but when telling there friends about the place, they will be describing the awsome ride not the scenery around it. Sure rides like loggers, tidal need theming to be good and they have it.

I swear it isnt a chain

Park wide system is now in use. The additional speakers around the lost city seem to be playing Colossus's old station music from what I heard, just a shame it was removed from the station its self..

Yea I remember when it used to be good to!

Why bose though, it has nothing to do with them?

hehe no not just yet

Heh I'm not pissed off, everyones entitled to there own opinion of course, just things like fish imo are fine with out all the extra stuff, I still have great fun on the thing, and to be fair never really expected much after the 12 million spent on stealth.

Because it would look quite silly if it said "Welcome to thorpe park, the home of stealth! Rides unavailable: stealth"

tbh no matter what the park does its fans will find somthing to moan about, fish is fine, could be better sure but people like it and have fun on it, and thats the main thing.

To add to this argument, thorpe imo does just fine as it is, its advertised to provide a unique thrill on certain rides you wont get anywhere else round here, its never really claimed to take you into new worlds of highly detailed theming etc as its not really that kind of park and it never will be. Nothing will change with merlin.

I agree thorpe is a MUCH better value day out than a football match.

Detonator music was on when I rode but is very quiet.

Woo for awsome day today, thanks to a power cut, Colossus, Slammer, Quantum, Rush and X were down from 1 or 2 but didnt really matter, was quite busy and the closed rides didnt help but still had a great day!

If they didnt care about guest satisfaction why do they bother with guest questionnaires? or even priority pass's from a broken ride, they are well in there rights to tell you where to go but they dont, so I think its unfair to say they just dont care. And for the rest, I think theres a much bigger problem than just at Thorpe.

The difference is, what you and thorpe park will consider un-necessary are 2 totaly different things, puting rides on 2 trains inst worth it when there is still a quite low gate figure.

IMO Rita's launch is not a touch on stealths, 0 - 80 in under 2 seconds is of course going to be better then 0 - 60 in 2.4 seconds. I found the launch felt slow, very slow and looked slow. Even if there is just 20mph in it, it makes a hell of a difference.

Samurais music at the moment is the same as last season, with the only difference being the loading music replaced with some ambient thing, new announcements and the ride music cuts out loads during the ride. In general I think the new stuffs ok, dettys I really like, more so than the old one, loggers is ok, same with Colossus. But so far I'm not too impressed with Samurais.

Went to thorpe yesterday with dann and chrissy, very good, possibly best trip of season and maybe best ever who knows!Was great fun all day in the rain, got couple of goes on detty in morning, very impressed with its new music, headed over to stealth, had a small delay, waited for about 10-15 mins for them to fix it, was all good apart from the rain, then got on and just as all lights went red we went back and back.... so yea, got stuck on that for a good 20 mins, but like the nice member of staff said, we were in seats more confertable than the various bench's around the park so was all good! Also got priority pass's to re ride it later in the day. Rode pritty much everything apart from pirates and depth charge, thanks to weather the queues were pritty much not there what was nice! Only bad point was last ride of the day, rose about a meter and stopped, was abit of a pain seeing as my lift was waiting for me outside the park!
