The 'Definitely 100% Totally Going to Happen' London Resort
Marc replied to Liam T's topic in UK Attractions
Not quite, but nothing in them ever stays out of it for too long, the big bosses will have plans in place to action if they need to. -

As I said I don't think you can read to much into what Merlin release into the public domain, any company in a similar situation will of course publicly state they believe in their product and are confident for the future. Internally they will of course monitor the situation and have plans to change if needs be. -

I'm sure publicly (Staff news letters are pretty much public!) Merlin will say its business as usual, it would be silly to state anything different but I'm sure should it ever happen there are / will be plans in place to minimize the hit to their business and remain competitive. -
But then if you don't brace your self on Nemesis you can hit your head, Whilst I agree you shouldn't have to ride in a certain way to enjoy a ride (Like Bacco inside seat) I don't think having to brace your self on a thrill ride is much to ask personally!
-
Theres no doubt you can hit your head on Colossus, but if you brace your self (as your told to do!) its fine and I don't ever hit my head.

Makes sense when the park closes at 6. When the park closes at 7 wouldn't surprise me if it goes back to 7:30

Thorpe Park Summer Nights Meet Saturday 2nd August 2014
Marc replied to AJ 's topic in TPM 2014 Meets
This may make the park pretty busy so id recommend booking Summer Nights tickets in advance just in case! -
Not sure I agree rita is Comfortable, both hurt in different ways - for me id rarther do Baco - the ride is so intense and insane its worth the pain! Its surprising how much more intense the launch feels than Stealths but is only a few mph faster.
-
I know, thats the point I was making to say comparisons to the linked video being quite difficult!
-
I dont think bulking up the girder will make any difference, I expect it dont vibrate so much more because it dont really do much, Baco is smooth when its on the launch too!
-
Was there again tonight - was certainly busier than Friday - although queues were still generally pretty good - most I saw was Stealth at about 10 mins, the rest was just a couple trains wait. Find the atmosphere much better when there are a few more at these events and they are not totally dead!
-
I'm sure Stealth had something similar to this a few years ago at fright nights, it wasn't so much they were told to run slow it was that the ride would take longer than normal to recharge the system and allow the next launch so the staff going slower just stopped guests being sat there on the train ready to go for ages.
-
It wasn't just MAP was normal ticket holders and hotel guests too
-
The maximum I saw was 2/3 trains on Stealth and Inferno which was fine.
-
Merlin food really isn't that expensive and the quality is actually quite good for the money IMO. One - no queue went over 2/3 trains so it was all what was needed
-
Here now - all coasters are open along with tidal wave, storm surge and dodgems. There's some live entertainment in amity and a BBQ and the flow rider open on the beach. So far so good!!
-
Stealths now open
-
Youve kind of just argued the point for this system though, 15 rides for a "normal" guest would be amazing, thorpe have to do what will please hte majority of its guests who fall under this "normal guests" cloud so thats what they will rightly do.
-
Did this last year with no problems then could stay in the park waiting for rides to open
