Depth Charge
I think Depth Charge's time is up, to be honest. Am I correct in saying it was one of the first rides there?
-
SAW: The Ride
11 for me. Did 5 times in one day, during the club ERS. Never again. Might be able to manage 2 or 3 in a day, though the queue puts me off a bit

Black Mamba
The theming is as good as Nemesis, IMO.A rather catchy soundtrack, very well landscaped with all the mud huts ect and a lot of near miss and ground hugging parts.Oh, and if you have noticed the white wig-wams as you crest the lift, I have stayed in one of them

Thorpe Park's Old Days
If I remember correctly, it was a phone. Not sure who could use it though, or why it was there?
-
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
It's a very good ride and well themed, but I would rather spend my time on Rock'n'rollercoaster.
-
Rita Or Rock n' Rollercoaster?
Rock 'n' Rollercoaster all the way, only been on the Paris one though.
- Pleasurewood Hills

Flamingo Land
Yep, it's me Went there to ride it with the club on the 4th. Apart from bad throughput, the ride is actually pretty good. That's my judgement anyway.

Th13teen
I jolly well hope not. That means we will be stuck with mainly Vekoma (ouch) and Intamin (ouch ouch) and the odd Gerstlaurer here and there maybe.Not quoting Woodie Companies at the moment mainly because we don't know when the next one will be built.

My photo challenge!
Hope I'm in time too. This is for the sentimental value

Drayton Manor
About an hour to hour-30, depending which way you go. We tend to use the A38 up past Litchfield, ect up to the A50. Most direct route between the two parks.Hope that helps.

Thorpe Park trip plans
I'm going there wednesday with the staff from my local pub. Hopefully being a week day it should'nt be too busy, but we shall see.

Drayton Manor
Shockwave is'nt that bad really. Most uncomfortable ride there is the Mountain Buffalo coaster, only because 4 of us did an all day marathon on there, 7 and a half hours riding, talk about numb asses 148 laps, as it does 2 laps.

Closed Rides
Noooooooooooooooooooo

Black Mamba
I did this ride back in 2006, and in my opinion it blows the socks off Inferno, but kicks on the heals of Nemesis. The theming is amazing and I loved the dispatch music.

They ruined the Haunted House by converting it to Duel. I never bother using the gun, I just sit back and enjoy the ride

Stealth
As long as the blue ones are in there

Nemesis Inferno
Me, Mum and my brother had one a few years ago. We went there to celebrate Mum's 60th birthday and we were good friends with the operators at that time, so they gave us a front row exclusive. Was a bit naughty though because there were other people waiting, and a bit of a queue outside.

Thorpe Park Trip Reports
I don't usually look at queue times, but Saw I know was 90 minutes, but like I said a few posts back, a breakdown and a clean up turned my queueing time into 2 hours.I think the other coasters were about an hour, maybe more. For Stealth I used the SRQ, so was on max 20 minutes.My shortest queue was Rush, about 10.00am when it was about 10 minutes. That built up as the day went on.It was'nt a bank holiday today, but it is half term, just to clear that up for Lordcutter.
