    Because it's Saw: The Ride. Therefore it has Saw theming?No bit of theming is ever pointless. Jeez, before Saw everyone complained about the lack of care that goes into theming on a lot of rides, now we get one of the UK's if not one of Europes most themed rides and now people are complaining that some bits of theming are pointless? My oh my. :PI like the countdown timers, has a good effect and both timers work well where they are. Especially at the base of the lift hill tower, with Billy coming on the screens and then the 'Game Over'.And it's not a case of 'turning up the volume', it's because someone decided it would be fun to play End of the Day music as loud as possible and then brake nearly all the speakers.

    No I haven't been to Thorpe Park this week.

    Stealth - 75 minutes - Still love the launch!SAW - 70 minutes - I'll probably have to queue much longer than that sometime, but if there were other rides with smallish queues I wouldn't want to waste time in a massive queue for Saw. Nemesis Inferno - 60 minutes - It never seems to let me down, especially in the front.Colossus - 30 minutes - Only for the front though, if I have to go through the torture of anywhere else, 15 minutes. Rush - 60 minutes - Would probably be willing to queue even more if the ride length was longer. Detonator - 35 minutes - Has a drop which easily pisses all over Hurakan Condor's. Slammer - 30 minutes - It's good, not amazing, but still do enjoy it. Samurai - 30 minutes - In previous years would have been willing to queue longer, but hasn't thrilled me as much this year. X:\NWO - 25 minutes - Probably the most confusing ride I've ever been on, but still very enjoyable. Loggers Leap - 40 minutes - Nice lengthy trip through Canada Creek, and the music has made the queue more bearable.Quantum - 10 minutes - It can break up the day nicely, apart from when it feels in the mood to actually make me feel sick. Zodiac - 10 minutes - Great when Rob's operating. :PTidal Wave - 5 minutes - Can be so annoying walking around being THAT wet, however after riding it once I end up riding it over and over again anyway (If there's a small queue)Rumba Rapids - 20 minutes - Enjoy the music, and gives a nice ride.Vortex - 10 minutes - People complain about Samurai not being as intense as it could be, well it's really the same story with Vortex. Can be good when it feels like it, but usually bores the hell out of me.
  4. Rush most likely.

    I'm sure it's very original and that no one else on the planet could ever think of it .

    .....So?
  7. Sorry, I guess I must have accidently mistken the meaning of Sick for actually meaning Sick .
  8. Ok firstly, no. Really, no. And why would it be sick? Cloud Cuckoo Land doesn't seem the kind of area which makes being vomit.

    How might it be dying exactly?
  10. Dan9 replied to Artie's topic in The Past
    I don't find them bad at all. The shoulder restraints really don't hurt if you only pull them down lightly.
  11. Dan9 replied to Artie's topic in The Past
    It's the second time. It's reliability has improved a lot over last year, for its first 3 years it was dreadful for relibility.
  12. Dan9 replied to humjosh's topic in General Discussion
    I can understand that occasionally things will go wrong, but something seems to be wrong with it every single time I go. You say you've had 4 days when it's been fully working, but how many days has something not been working for you? 4 Days just isn't enough, and even still I bet there were many speakers not working on those 4 days.
  13. RCT3 doesn't like anything gradual unfortunately . And I made it, and no it's not available for download...yet.
  14. Dan9 replied to humjosh's topic in General Discussion
    Well...no it doesn't. I have yet to be at Thorpe for one single day when all its audio is working properly. There's always either a ride with no Audio or the wrong Audio or with at least half the speakers broken. All of it can completely ruin the atmosphere.Not to mention the frequent times when the whole system gets pretty much destroyed and you end up hearing Rocky Express music in X:\NWO or something ridiculous like that. (And this seems to be happening every year at some point)
  15. Dan9 replied to humjosh's topic in General Discussion
    Why is it only Thorpe Park whose Audio continuously gets messed up?
  16. Dan9 replied to Ash's topic in General Discussion
    You can easily tell which one has been removed. Firstly think of all the waterfalls on Rumba Rapids. Then you just need to see this... And now you should be able to know which one we're on about.

    .
  18. Dan9 replied to humjosh's topic in General Discussion
    On Sunday I didn't hear any of the audio cut out once. Even queueing for Stealth, not one time did I hear it cut out. So I guess if it does still happen, it seems to only happen on certain days.
  19. Dan9 replied to Dan_Rush's topic in General Discussion
    That's weird, the last 6 times that I've been to Thorpe and Stealth was open, it was always open on time. It's just random luck.
  20. Dan9 replied to Perks's topic in General Discussion
    Yes the swing closest to the console goes higher than the swing closest to Colossus.
  21. Dan9 replied to Perks's topic in General Discussion
    Is this Slammer or Rush you're talking about? . Cos I can't seem to recall Rush going upside down.
  22. ..And what makes you say that with such certainty? :)No one really has an idea when the next coaster will be except the park themselves. I doubt they'll even know for sure.
  23. Dan9 replied to Ash's topic in General Discussion
    Yet it's been open for 3 days since that now .
  24. I feel safe in every restraint.
  25. I've seen it *smug*.
