Firstly I doubt you'd be able to tell if they were new or not, as they are just cables, and secondly, why does it matter?

Well that FINALLY shuts up people who still believe Samurai is still being re-themed...And if there was a re-painting of the pods, it certaintly hasn't been painted a different colour.

I'm going on the Sunday with Tommy and co, don't know if I'll go to the meet or not though. Depends on whether anyone else is going to it really.

I really wouldnt say that on a forum, as it is illegal to film in a cinema. So be careful what you say about things like that, as we know that Thorpe Park read fan forums like this.

So I take it I'm not the only one who's finding words in posts replaced with overused word in a box then?

Or maybe people could just not spoil it for everyone?

There is a rumour that the truck carrying Stealths motor was stolen. Was said by a well-respected member on SP, but no one knows for sure really. Will just have to wait and see.

If that is true, next time can you please put it in spoiler tags? It is really annoying for some people who don't want to find out until they ride it, so after waiting for so long to ride it, it would be rather infuriating for someone to blurt it out on a forum without any pre-warning. I'm just saying that it can ruin the experience for some people. And that goes for people who ride it on Thursday/Friday. You might be bursting to tell everyone all about it, but a lot of people won't have ridden it and therefore might not want to know all about it yet.

And take into account that because of a power cut that day, only Stealth, Nemesis Inferno, Detonator and a few others were the only main rides open. Had this not have happened the Stealth queue would have been even smaller than 45 minutes.So I too doubt it will be that busy.

Saturdays are quite hard for me now, so I'll go depending on if I can. If not I'll be along 15th with Tommy and co! :PUntil then I'll be a maybe.

Wow! Really awsaume to see you back!

But you didn't, you said 'No Fair'. Major contradiction much .I might be going on Sunday, so hopefully then I'll get some more pictures for everyone then. And I don't see why the 13th should make a fuss for anyone really. I mean they're only riding it a day before most people anyway. Anyway it's nice to see Thorpe giving Annual Passers something back! I hope there are more days like this in the future.

It would be good to see something like ste193 said. However I doubt Thorpe nowadays would go to the effort of making something like that for the Families with childrens sake. With Thorpe making it clear they are a park for Thrill Rides now it's hard to see something like that happen, which is a shame really as I think it's a pretty good idea, and it would be good to see a few more family friendly rides at Thorpe.

Not any more .Hmm lets see...- On Inferno I always sit at the end of a row.- I try to get the right hand sided seat on Stealth.- I always take pictures of Tommy .- I shout 'Fail' every time I see a ride break down.- My first ride is always usually either Rush or Nemesis Inferno.- I will do anything to avoid riding Stealth towards the back.- I only ride Colossus at the front.

Naah Tidal Wave is best themed by far at Thorpe, Nemesis Inferno might have been, if Thorpe had finished its volcano properly. Although I think either way Tidal is best for theming!

Yes but it's because of the theming that there is a queue line experience and an indoor section.

If you look at the caption it says NOT the theming. Which means it must have been coming from a piece of machinary or something.

Yep they will be spinning. I mean obviously not violent spinning but they will turn.

What I want to know is what am I looking at in the last one .

Haha nah the running was one of the best parts tbh. I can't really recall any screaming . We still need Martin with the Group photo, after all Ian was a bit insistent on getting it in the first place!Anyway, stupid comment of the day...James (wearing Time Voyagers glasses): That Nemesis Inferno train looks 3-D!Me: It is 3-D..James: Oh =(I love you James really!

The path should be ready by March 14th in time for Saws opening.

I can remember trips from 2005 .

Martin has them I think. Just depends on whether he bothers to come on and upload them .

Pfft you weren't on Quantum .

Failday...Yeah well the day itself was great, but most of the rides were failing all day. Not even Saw could escape all the failing as it got stuck at the very top of the lift hill towards the end of the day. So at 10am the gates opened, and the rides available were errm...Detonator, Carousel and Mr.Monkeys Banana Ride. Throughout the day the main rides open were Nemesis Inferno, Detonator, Vortex, X:\NWO, Zodiac and Quantum, but all of these either opened late or suffered breakdowns. Colossus had started testing and was due to open at around 2ish, but then as the queue opens, 5 minutes later...'Colossus is experiencing a technical delay and has ciesed operation'. And that was Colossus closed for the day. Rush also failed to open, and at the beginning of the day it has seats missing, but they were put back in mid-dayish, but it still didn't open. And yes Samurai is still there for those who are still wondering.Zodiac was the biggest fail of the day, when it stopped half way through a testing cycle in a vertical position. And as far as I could see the only reason Stealth wasn't open was due to Tidal Wave's scaffolding going to near to the brake run track. There seemed to be nothing going on it, no work or maintenence being done, so it was difficult to see apart from this why it was shut. Slammer had scaffolding up and its tops were missing too. Fungle Safari is still there, and there doesn't seem to have been much done to it either. X:\NWO decided to break down as soon as we had stupidly run through the whole queue line. Though this didn't stop us running back out again . Quantum was also on one of the strangest settings ever in the morning. For about 5 minutes all it did was go up to half way and then back down again, pretty much like the Banana Boat. Eventually it did go over the top, but it took its time. Was pretty fun to be yelling Fail and Win throughout it though! Tidal Wave scaffoldingFailiacSome more failTom taking a failpic with the iFail...WIN .Saw pics are in the Saw topic but the full set of photos are here.Anyway thanks to everyone who went, was a fun day!
