  1. As you are only there for a day hopefully you will be able to get on most of the major rides but make sure you don't miss out on some of the excellent shows especially the Templo del Fuego attraction, the heat from the fire is unbelievable! Try to get the front seat on Furius Baco if you can and make use of the single rider queue for Hurakan Condor, it usually saves you quite a bit of time (the queue splits as you get closer to the loading area). It can be tiring especially if visiting for multiple days during the summer, prepare for quite a lot of walking as the park is rather large. It is an amazing park and I hope you have a great time!

  2. Went yesterday (Friday 21st) and one of the best days I’ve had at the park. Minimal/No queuing, brilliant weather and everything working!Ride Count:Stealth - 7Nemesis Inferno - 3Colossus - 2 + 1 Front SeatSaw: The Ride - 1 Front SeatX:/ No Way Out - 1Flying Fish - 1Tidal Wave - 1 Front SeatLoggers Leap - 1Rumba Rapids - 1Detonator - 3Rush - 2Slammer - 1Samurai - 1Zodiac – 1Total – 27Colossus is running brilliant this year; the new wheels have definitely had an effect on the ride. You can tell how much faster it runs especially through the inline twists - it actually made me feel slightly dizzy, which it never used to do before. It also is a lot quieter especially through the cobra roll because you can stand underneath it now and still manage to speak! Plus had one of the most intense rides I’ve had on Samurai up to the standard it was at CWOA; maybe I just caught it on a good day!

  3. Bit late, but went to Thorpe Park on 19th June. Steam was working on Nemesis Inferno but very little of it in the tunnel. Good day the queues were ok (Max - Colossus and Saw were just over 1 hour) and the weather was great! Stealth didn't open until later on in the day.Ride Count:Nemesis Inferno - 3 + 1 FrontSaw: The Ride - 1 FrontStealth - 1 FrontSlammer - 1Logger's Leap - 1Rocky Express - 1Vortex - 1Rush - 1Flying Fish - 2Storm in a Teacup - 2Detonator - 1Rumba Rapids - 1Canada Creek Railway - 1Total = 18Video:

  4. Went to the park today. All the rides were running well.Ride Count:Zodiac - 1Rumba Rapids - 1Storm in a Teacup - 1Flying Fish - 1Stealth - 1Nemesis Inferno - 2Colossus (Front) - 1Samurai - 1Slammer - 1Rush - 1SAW: The Ride (Front) - 2- First ride on Saw - it was great, although that jolt at the bottom of the main drop is pretty bad.- Colossus was walk-on at the start of the day!

  5. I don't know if anyone can help me but I have a bit of a problem.Each time I ride Air, I'm not sure what happens, but it's like I'm about to pass out. Everything starts to go black and I have to really struggle to stop it from happening. When I get off I feel really sick and have to sit down for about half an hour. It's really irritating because I love air and don't want to have to stop riding it! It never happened on any other ride before but I noticed that last time I went to Thorpe, it started to happen on Vortex and also on Kumba at Busch Gardens, Florida.Anyone got any ideas on this???

    Well I'm not sure about Air. But it sounds like a black out, when there are moments of intense g's (g-forces). There is a temporary reduction in blood flow and therefore a shortage of oxygen to the brain. This leads to lightheadedness or a "black out". Vortex is pretty intense at the bottom of the swing, as for Kumba I haven't been on it but I presume that is the same case.It's not unusual. I've experienced it on the Revolution at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, but that's the only one.Does this happen on the 'fly to lie' inversion particularly on Air?
