It's getting tense now but I think we already know what will win just a matter of time now
People said that last year and then...

Yes it still isn't really a 'map' anymore, but it's far nicer to look at than the old one.

Air has to be the most boring ride in the park, it's unique, but the layout is so boring, that's why world firsts can be bad when you see what else is out there
As opposed to what - world's never created?

I was referring only to rides opening on time really since that's what your post was referencing
But yes Europa is generally superior to most theme parks. Although surely with that logic, if you don't respect Alton that much there would be less of a reason to get on their backs about The Smiler being late, and for Europa's higher stature it would be considered a more significant issue?
-
Please describe this track record to me...There's one difference...
Europa-Park is generally a very respected park.
Alton Towers, with their track record, is far less so

Seems to me the majority are exactly how I described, especially on this website.
"I'm going to go online and have a go at people generalising entire groups of people by generalising an entire group of people myself!"
Fantastic moral victory that.

'Wow Baco, you aren't THE absolute worst ride in the world, well done!!'I thought the ride you hated most was tornado, so FB doesnt hold that title
It's pretty awful. That's the main point.

I heard that Colossus track is partly underwater. Also, the surrounding lakes are a lot higher than usual.
Rides are fine.

Look at Fish go! *insert joke about Flying Fish being the only ride able to run in a flood*
The lake level is rising, it's pretty much level with Staines Road at the moment. And in the video JoshC posted you can sort of see the lake rising above the grass banks next to the Vortex and Zodiac plaza. Nothing too bad yet though.

Sods law....I drove to Chertsey today to take the dog for a walk along Monks Walk and because of the floods no access to Thorpe Village.
On a side note the floods are horrendous around the park...at one point it looked as if one of the lakes was spilling onto the dual carriageway.
The flood situation is being covered well online, always worth checking before you travel at a time like this but the best thing of all to do is just avoid the whole area if you can. You can be walking down one road which is fine, turn a corner and suddenly the rest of it is waist-deep in water. The lake is pretty much level with Staines Road at the moment and you can see rubbish floating on top being lifted up onto the side of the road, but the road itself wasn't flooded as of this afternoon. Still can't get any further than the Thorpe roundabout though.

Its just such a shame the park is sooooo out of the way!
Not really, it's pretty much right in the city? Way less of a mission to get to than Europa Park.

Ooh I do want to go. Even sounds like it's developing a nice early roar.

I have been trying to find a piece of music for ages. I have heard it I think every time I have been to Thorpe, in the dome on my first visit back in 2008 before they played chart music in there, and more recently the arcade.
It could be a loop - it has a repetitive melody of what sounds like high pitched, dreamy sounding whistling, and I don't know if you have talked about it before but I can't find anything. Can anyone tell me what this is if it is a Thorpe tune?
Is it at 3:17 in this?

Went on it again a further 3/4 times this weekend... still wasn't rough. But hey, as long as the new restraints still allow some room and imagineering make it look as nice I guess it can't be a bad thing.

It's the map for everywhere. Anyway, a bit confused by some of the more extreme reaction, especially when the flaws of it seem to be pretty much the same as the old one but just... not as bad? Information also seems a lot easier to read.
