		Thorpe Park's Old Days
		
		I dunno how much people can defend it - thorpe is successful. yes. thorpe is improving. maybe. however thorpe is about as magical as my sphincter and is why its now just a place people go. Thats why is successful. Good train coverage, huge parking space (almost as big at the park). People go there, chavs go there, for somthing to do. Thats all thorpe is now. Alton Towers is an experience. Phantasialand is magical. Thorpe, unless there is a MAJOR theming and ride investment will never ever match up to those standards. Its not about side - phantasialand is about the same size as thorpe; yet thats got two hotels and attracts family and visitors from all over europe. Judging by the last couple of weeks clearly not. Tidal Waves life died long ago, personally I dont consider SPLASSSSHHHZONNEbrap to be such a 1950's look. 'You want some zesty lemon with your wave?' ur no ta. Thorpe has many many faults. Its scraping the barrel of being labeled a THEME park. If we hadn't lost the standards the attractions used to have. The chavs will have hard to avoid - especially being within the london zone. But by introducing a more family atmosphere maybe it will get reduced. Thorpe has gone down hilll to the point where they dont just not add magic, its been drained out of stuff that has. Ive lost the plot with this. but you get my point. which is compare thorpe and phantasialand and there you go.

		The News
		
		The two children who were stabbed to death the other day, happened where I used to live!!! Like down my friends road, and a minute walk from my brothers flat. Its quite shocking but then in year 10 I came home from school to find that someone had been stabbed in the neck in the road next to mine, and there was also a shooting somewhere close a few months after too. Kinda glad ive moved really.

		Dont you hate it when you wanna find out about someone you know lives like a road away - yet they dont come up on myspace and facebook is being a bitch and no one knows who the hell your on about, without you sounding like a stalker creep.

		At the end of the day it is a health and safety issue which occurred, and as a customer you expect to ride an attraction without potentially getting seriously injured. Now whether people think its thorpe fault or not - the buck stops at them. Say I'm at work, and one of the wall bay arms falls down with 30 odd jeans on it making it very heavy and this hits someone. Its no ones fault, it was secure when it was put up; its one of those things BUT its happened in our store, it hurt someone and therefore we are accountable. People can't sue fate. With thorpe, At the end of the day IF someone got hit by that metal shard then who would those people turn around and sue? Thorpe.and its not like this is the first time. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/souther...ies/3391267.stm . I'm not sure of the circumstances of the engineering at that time - but I would assume it was adequate to pass the morning ride certificate then. But who got blamed, who got the fine? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/souther...ies/3579359.stm . Thorpe Park did. Not Huss. Not fate. What I'm trying to say is, we could go around in circles saying who is to blame, and its easy seeing as no one did get hurt to pass it off as a lucky escape and it wasnt thorpe fault. And I'm not say it is in anyway shape or form, I have full confidence in their safety. But someone is always to blame, we live in an 'I'm going to sue you' culture.As for the news, its unfair and misrepresentative. Well, pretty much everything you read is, and its stories like this that make you realize how false the press can be and makes you more skeptical about what you read in the future. If its not Thorpe Park, its the Govenrment, the police or Heather Mills.

		"thats british engineering for ya"haha, try our neighbours across the atlantic ocean for the blame. Seriously though, although the bloke obviously gave that video to the sun for a quick 50 quid, its still kinda bad. I'm surprised the people on the swing didnt get hit as its knocked it right across into the fence.
