I believe Swarms water uses chlorine to keep it clean, so its possible that at the start of the season they need to adjust the levels to make sure its right before using it and potentially getting people wet? As for the water effect near the fire engine it seems like this one has been changed as to not cover the fire engine, That was done at the end of last season.

They were on all day Saturday (both of them) along with every other effect when I was on the island.

Was working Thursday, the loop water effects and the waterfalls were also all working fine. Hopefully they can get the mist sorted again

The advert heavily features the thrill rides just as much so I don't think it's anything to worry about. Thorpe park are just going for a more family friendly image, family's can enjoy thrill rides too but important to make sure there's rides for those who may not be so keen!

I expect we will see one soon, with a new one for Angry Birds land closer to the time

I don't think the new musics bad - more people seek to get into it on the trains from what I've seen!

No need to worry - it wouldn't open if there was any slight chance of any problems!

Why spoil the surprise looking forward to seeing it on Thursday!

No one knows for sure, its mainly based on rumours from back when it was refurbished.

There have been some changes in Bar360 over the winter, the bar has been moved to the far side and its now table service, your allocated a table and order all taken from a waiter. Its a nice idea and worked well when it was quiet and hopefully will work well when its busy too

Yeah was surprised to see zodiac open with a hour or so to go. Inferno also went up to 2 trains at around 2 ish - apparently one was making a rarther loud noise yesterday! Noticed it seems to have new lights on the back of the cars to do with the restraints I guess - not seen them before ! Really like the changes on X - thought it was good last year but think its even better now - really liked that!

I noticed this morning when it first opened it was going as high as it used to and looked like it was running well but throughout the day it got woese. I'm sure they are aware and will fix it

It's only been testing today, no sign of life around it as of 5 min ago!

Thorpe stated in the questions to TP topic Slammer should be back up and running for open day on Thursday

Don't think the smoke ever went apart from around a week or so last year?

Went on it today it was still a bit juddery like last year

The light column has gone the lights have been put to good use around the ride!

The new lights in there are very good too!

That said Detonator no longer advertises it has fastrack. I cant see the cinema being to badly effected by it tbh.

I like it, much improved on the last few years kind of goes back to the old style thorpe park. Noticed quantum isn't on the map though which is a bit strange! I do like how the map shows the park to be more of an island now too something id like to see them take more advantage of.

Yes- you will be contacted very soon!

The difficult thing is how do you know who will ride the rides and who will just be looking around? Unless they implement some kind of wristband system (Which tbh I wouldn't like to see) theres not much they really could do to make it work effectively.

I'm sure if it was a problem atall it would have been fixed when mondial referbished the ride in 2004? I thought they were meant to do that!

Hi All, Thorpe Park have passed on some information to us about a upcoming event with John Wardley at Thorpe Park on the 30th March 2014. Tickets will be on sale through the Contact Centre soon - these prices do not include park admission. £30pp - Signed copy of ‘Creating My Nemesis’ - Lanyard with Backstage Pass - Lunch in Marquee - Q&A Session with John Wardley - Raffle for a Lift Hill Walk on the day £40pp - Signed copy of ‘Creating My Nemesis’ - Lanyard with Backstage Pass - Lunch in Marquee - Q&A Session with John Wardley - Raffle for a Lift Hill Walk on the day - Backstage Tour of Nemesis Inferno workshop Sounds like it will be an interesting event!

To be fair I can see why theyve gone down the route of changing the theme instead of putting it back to how it was, how do you market a ride with new theming which is the same as before? It dont look fantastic right now but we still have just under a month till the season starts, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt until we see the final product.
