  1. Not too bad as far as I know- usually the first few weeks of the school holidays the the quieter times before getting bustier towards the end!
  2. Hey, Like last time we don't condone the actions of the group of people who trespassed onto the park, and as such we do not want to generate traffic and attention towards their social media. If anyone had any questions or concerns about us hiding content, please contact one of the team. If not, let's try and move on and not give these people any more attention. Thanks!
  3. Surely it's more imaginative than "place your heads back and brace your selves" as it previously had?!

    Tapatalk finally fixed it and its back up and running
  5. The Swarm has a new themed announcement as the train departs
  6. I have Beats solo 3's and air pods - both have their pros and cons. If you have an iPhone both work very well - connecting is so easy it really is seamless and will also connect across all your iCloud devices - they do also work if your not apple! Both have great battery life too - like insanely good, the AirPods when they run out get a decent charge after 10/15 mins in the carry case and slips in your pocket. The beats solo 3's are bulkier - but imo have very good sound quality.
  7. Thorpes is definitely different - I've seen that system at towers think - towers one also used to popup on your phone when you was at the entrance telling you the queue time / advising fastrack which you could buy on the phone using Apple Pay.

    Had another look at this - it looks like the tapatalk plugin they've released for this version of the forum is corrupt - as soon as they've fixed ill get it installed
  9. Amazing to see what some people are doing with this game - really good work!
  10. https://www.thorpeparkmania.co.uk/articles/20-07-2017/Show+Services+Q+and+A if you've not seen it this is a good read - park wide sound is now maintained by the show services department and I'm sure we will continue to see improvements. [/plug] TBF I think a lot of the original Bose systems are still going strong - Colossus / Inferno still sound good and they are 14/15 years old now!

    Aha sorry - should be fixed now!
  12. TBF I've not been into the Tidal Wave queue for some time so no idea how that is - the "area" around Tidal's speakers on the telegraph poles seem to work still. Another thing I noticed yesterday was the Saw Plaza music has been turned up a lot - was much better! Good to hear audios been added to the Megastore too!
  13. I expect they can - just cant all happen overnight Also Storm Surge before its new speakers were installed was very quiet which I would guess makes it a higher priority- I wouldn't say Stealth and Tidal are too bad apart from an odd quiet spot.
  14. Stealth has a new WWTP loop - much longer and great to hear the return of some classic WWTP songs!

    Updated the forums to the latest software version tonight - if you notice anything not working let me know! The biggest change you'll likely notice is enhancements to the "Like" system - you can now react to posts much like you can on Facebook! The skin is the default one at the moment - am working on an all new skin at the moment which will hopefully look alot better!
  16. You do hear of this quite a lot (and I've done it my self before too) it's very easy to wonder around the park deciding each queue is too long, before you know it you would of been better off just joining one of them. One tip I would have is get there early - a few times this year I've got there for 9 ish - the gates are often opened early (no promises!)) and the park has been so so much better at getting rides ready for opening. At 9:30 my last trip all rides which were due to open were - you can easily get Stealth, Inferno, Colosus and saw done before the queues start to get to bad!
  17. DBGT is the parks newest large investment- it had a wait time of 2 hours - I'm sure the vast majority of guests woukd disagree! You visit what you describe as a "dire" theme park almost once a month - I would.
  18. Yet you continue to visit regularly- they must be doing something right!

  20. The cost of running rides is more than 2 people's hourly wage. For what it's worth i was in old town at around 2 ish - rocky was going around half full with the other 2 closed - not sure it was making much difference.. Possibly- I remember when Samurai and a few lost city flats were on a rotational op!
  21. Visited today and was impressed at the new Security procedure in operation, now with 4 "check points" rather than 2. Got to the park just after 9 am and they were already getting people through the security line - annual pass holders were aloud into the park as far as the access gates, had breakfast at Fins - about £6.30 for a buffet breakfast with AP discount not bad atall!
  22. Aware a image has been released early which possibly shouldn't have been - please refrain from posting it on here at the parks request
