  1. No surprise - hopefully if the season starts well they can add improve them. Don't think they've closed in the week since 2004 ish?
  2. Its a shame its closed early, but I'm in no doubt there are valid reasons behind it. Is it a bit annoying? Yes, Will I still visit over this week/weekend? Yes
  3. Indeed, information boards across the park had been updated for today stating that stealth would be closed despite it still going round at 10 last night. As Project LC says, it will be planned and likely unavoidable, the park gain nothing from closing rides.
  4. Stealth is closed for the rest of the season now according to TP's twitter. Also on: https://www.thorpepark.com/rides/stealth/
  5. As I was leaving the park last night the Queue boards had been updated for today stating Tidal Wave and Stealth are closed, seeing that Stealth was running fine all night can only assume its a planned closure.
  6. The problem with charging is people will expect not to queue - took us just under 3 hours to do Alton mazes on Sunday which I found pretty frustrating after paying.
  7. Confirmed today: • THORPE PARK Resort’s biggest investment to date • The world’s only fully immersive psychological attraction – from the mind of Derren Brown • A team of 1,000 specialists and experts working to bring the new experience to life in 2016 • Each visitor to the new attraction will experience a 13 minute long journey Full press release at: http://www.thorpeparkmania.co.uk/news/26-10-2015/Derren-Brown-IP-Announced (2017 discussion starts from Page 183)

    The pods find zero pretty quickly, it's the main arm Which struggles.
  9. Nothing has been officially announced just yet
  10. I'm quite mixed on it - on one hand charging £5 or £10 for entry for standard AP holders who then get the park till 10 and 5 mazes is good value - the problem with this is the queues and inevitable fastrack If Thorpe charged for mazes they would get less people through and could possibly offer a higher quality experience those not interested could enjoy the park extra hours at no extra cost
  11. It will be interesting to see if there are any further changes to The Big Top over this week too, I was quite surprised at how much had changed last weekend!
  12. That's a good point - and as much as they could drag out the smaller mazes that would hamper throughputs where as towers can keep the reasonable throughputs giving a longer experience. If the lionsgate rumours are true I can see cabin staying and being rebranded just because the idea works so well - not sure on the others though.
  13. It seems Thorpe are having a bit of a laugh with enthusiasts tonight! Nothing official has been announced though!

    Slammer is definitely not closed out of choice at the moment! Hopefully they can get it back up and running to see the season out
  15. Posts are being hidden due to us not being able to tell which images are true or false! We have had an abundance of fake images through to us over the last few hours!
  16. I think Thorpe Park are playing with us a bit here!

    It's entirely possible that after being closed for such a long time there are small niggles they want to iron out. The fact they closed it and ran the queue through indicates it's not a major issue

    Most of the time the zero problems are the main arm not finding it, the pods seem to find their correct position pretty quickly.
  19. Them hoodies add defiantly on sale - not sure if related to WC16 though! Let's get back onto WC16
  20. The corridor now has some funky green arch lights all the way down.
  21. it don't work like that! You'll get the full experience !
