Oh so the park was dead yet G-Force still had a 5000 hour queue? I wonder why *cough DRAYTON MANOR - BUY A NEW TRAIN*.

If its spitting rust and wax over riders I bloody hope it isn't open.

I'm guessing its still having problems with the supports that meant the late opening of it this year?

A-Kid just took the words right out of my mouth. A few overbanked turns would have been a lot better and T-Bars would have been awesome. It also would have been better if the live DJ's hadn't been removed, and if they used all the features that were installed in the caravan (the DJ being able to show CCTV footage from the queue on the queueline TV's and making people wave to the screens etc, and being able to text the DJ and getting a shout-out). Also the grandstand queueline.Other than that I'm quite happy with Stealth how it is!

I would tell you what the other benefits are but the AP website seems to have broken :oOne thing is free car parking at Alton Towers, now if Alton are giving AP holders free parking then Thorpe should give AP holders discounted bus travel. Kthnx.

Theres no reason why they couldn't come to an agreement, Annual Pass holders get discounts with loads of things that aren't Merlin. You can never have too many discounts

Yeah its a card that you put credit onto then swipe it whenever you make a journey in London and it has a set fare for bus journeys which is £1, so no bus journey in London will ever cost more than £1 with an Oyster card. That means you could travel across the whole of London for £1, yet Thorpe / Sullivan Buses think that £3 is reasonable for a journey so short and unpleasant.I don't think Annual Pass holders should get it for free but DEFINATLY some sort of discounted rate.

What a stupid thing to say. Maybe you don't mind paying £3 for the worst / most uncomfortable bus journey you could ever make but I don't consider £3 for that journey cheap. I can get from Watford to Brent Cross (a 70 minute bus journey) for £1 with my Oyster card. £3 is a very unreasonable price for that bus (which is like a 10 minute journey) and the fact it costs that means over 3 visits thats already £9 I've spent on just getting from the station to the park.

Sounding remarkably similar to Slammer there and thats been a pretty bad investment in my eyes.They really should stick to the tried and tested stuff IMO.

They shouldn't be, its their problem. Everywhere else with a Eurofighter opened them problem free.

Rob works there and provided a 500 figure, therefore I'm gonna go with that because Thorpe never hit the throughputs they should.I don't see why you're blaming Geurstlaur for the throughput problems, they build the ride and nothing else. How it is run is down to Thorpe Park and nobody else. You don't blame Intamin on days that Stealth is being run on 1 train, it's Thorpe who decide how many trains are used etc.

500 riders per hour, 6 car operation. No of course it hasn't been sorted

Rush Preload Announcement.

Black Buccaneer is CWoA's swinging ship :oBlade is shockingly awful, there isn't much more to be said on it from me.

LOL that sounds like a particular staff member who is actually a member on here!

Well the queueline has been refurbished, which is better than nothing right?

Looks quite temporary to me so I'm guessing just for Easter. Well I hope anyway!

They used to do it on Stealth but they aren't allowed to anymore because someone did it and it flew over the top hat at 200mph.</lolz>

The future of the YourDay system at Alton Towers seems to not be very good, it has yet to open this year and the company have now gone into liquidation. No more YourDay at Alton Towers?

Well I mean... it's Thorpe Park, its been broken for 2 months, what does that tell us really?

It doesn't look like its gonna happen anytime soon.

Nah that hasn't been used since early 2007, its the newer version with the deep voice now.

I'm gonna say it for the last time... they are syringes. And now I'm not gonna look in here again until this debate has blown over!
