Apparentely it was busy. They had to use the overflow car park.

During Fright Nights the lights are blue I think. That is if Nemesis Inferno keeps the 'Hell Frozen Over' theme this year.

It's the only reason isn't it?

I admit a 4D would be an intresting coaster and I'd love to ride one one day. However 4D's do take up a fair bit of space, as can be seen here...And considering Thorpe Park's already very cramped together rides and lack of space, it seems a 4D is unlikely, which is a shame, as X2 is supposed to be very good.

If no one makes any suggestions no one would ever have anything to talk about anyway. It's a forum. You discuss things, you throw around ideas and people build on them and you get along talking about a common intrest.Obviously he didn't think it was a bad idea, and rossafc doesn't either. Neither does TimR. Jonny didn't like the idea, but he replied in a better way, without actually trying to insult him in the process. It's an opinion. Don't shout at people for having one. You were a new member once. How would you like it if you joined and put in an idea, and someone came along and made you look like a fool. If you continue like this you're going to put off new people joining the forum and TPM will get nowhere, because it's full of people who just shout at people for making suggestions and speaking about their ideas. I'm not being awkward, I'm trying to stop the forum appearing as one where no one is allowed to voice their opinions and ideas, because it seems that's what you want at the moment.

That's no excuse for trying to make him look like an idiot. It was better to just not say anything. How is this going to help new members join, knowing that if they point out an idea, it could get a reply like yours because you think it's 'stupid'?

Totolly agree. Thorpe seem to just sell it like there's no tomorrow, there should be a better limit than the current one with how much can be sold.

That's a stupid reply, it's just an idea.

When did I ever say anything about a Detonator extension? And subculturehero, Saw is around 100ft, so I don't understand what it has to do with anything. Just because there is a heigh restriction doesn't make that the only reason Saw isn't above 100ft. Not all of Thorpe Park's rides are only under 115t because they have to be. And I know what exception means, I was saying that they didn't just let Stealth be 205ft because it would be an excpetion, its tower had to be white to blend in with the sky better. If the local residents wanted the 115ft height restriction they wouldn't let there be any normal exceptions, otherwise the whole restriction would be pointless anyway. And Will, again...The person in the interview could have been some random person pulled in off the street if all you're going to say is 'the person in the interview'. I doubt even Thorpe Park know what is going to be built in 10 years time themselves.

When was it ever going to be the Chainsaw Massacre?

It's been shut since May 9th. And can I just say your signature can't say 'FACT' next to where you say Saw isn't the best ride to come out of Thorpe. There are many people who I'm sure would be willing to argue that. It's just an opinion. Everyone is entitled to one and no opinion is ever a fact.

...why? It's easy to notice the announcement says yourself.

I'm not sure they really care. And what do you mean by again?

Ahh but TPM is official. Official Fansite that is.

I assume you mean tested by Staff riding the rides?

Nearly everyone I know watches The Inbetweeners. Including me.

It wasn't an exception, it was only allowed because of the tower being white.

No, they won't get another 200ft-ish coaster unless the height restriction is lifted. And I don't see that happening personally.And can you please stop saying 'they said'. When did they say this? Who said this? Where did they say this? You can't just keep saying 'they said' unless you have a valid source and backup to confirm what you're saying, otherwise it's hard to believe you. Many things are said on forums which aren't correct and all the time people's excuse is 'they said it'. And not everyone is going to know who Darren Shears is. I don't really know who is either, so how are you expecting people to believe you by just saying 'Darren Shears said it'?

That last one is a surprise, it hasn't been working since 2003. Or at least from what I've heard and seen anyway. Good on Thorpe for doing this anyway!

And where did that idea come from?

Well I've been on Hurakan Condor, and errm..it's really not that great. The drop is nowhere near as forceful as Detonator's, and after about 2 seconds I'm already bored of the drop. Higher drops doesn't mean a better ride. And Stealth was only allowed because of its track colour.

But..they probably are going to. That's what Thorpe do, and it's why all of Thorpe's rides have monumentous queuelines each and every day. They have an unhealthy obsession with overselling fastrack.

And 4/5 flats in the space of 3 years added on to that?

I've seen the fastrack queue to the entrance before, all of the people there were priority pass'ers.So it might just have been a phase in time where a lot of people had decided to use their priority pass'.

Stop presuming why I said it.This is from my previous visits this year. Last years Fright Nights was dreadful for chav density. They were literally crawling all over the place. Same for normal days as well, it was probably the worst year for chavs from my experiences. This year I just haven't seen as much as normal there, and I've heard from loads of others who have also noticed this.
