  1. Just to add to what Dan said, you did have to collect them from the kiosks but you had to exchange your entrance ticket in order to get a free ticket. You probably won't recieve free tickets at this stage which is a bummer, and just to make it worse they now have your proof of entry.
  2. Once a ride is out of the hands of its manufacturer, Thorpe Park are responsible for its upkeep. The rides break down so often because they don't get all the maintainence they clearly need.If I bought a Ford Corsa, and 4 years later I haven't done enough work on it to keep it going, it isn't Fords fault, its my fault. The same applies to Thorpe Park.
  3. The seats do face outwards yup. Tbh I find it gives a better ride than Vortex, its longer, a bit bigger and the seats spin faster.

    Don't believe anything you read on wiki
  5. I believe in 2006 there was a plan to make rollback t-shirts or something but it was scrapped pretty quickly (if that rumour was actually true).
  6. Would I be totally wrong if I said I thought Kingda Ka / Top Thrill Dragster had something in its launch track that means its can be rolled back to reset position fairly quickly?
  7. It's easily the most reliable out of the Unholy Trinity but I still see it breakdown pretty frequently, it's just shutdowns that last about 30 mins max usually and its reopened then. Don't think I've ever seen it shutdown and not reopen the same day.
  8. Looks like you got your TP trip James, they're both open now
  9. Personally I think it looks nothing like Jigsaw Just looks like a random man lying on the floor, I'd assosiate it with Jigsaw if it had the black cape or something.
  10. If it was a couple of minutes it would be fine, but it usually takes up to half an hour during peak

    You have my sympathy, I hated Human geography too. Sparsely populated LEDC's are not fun

    The Ganges and Brahmaputra.
  13. There are no queue tv's in the outside queue and the ones inside don't play the official theme.
  14. It's not a case of it doesn't work, it's switched off because of the H&S around it.
  15. Yep, but its a LOT more intense and rough than it looks.
  16. I've got a pretty decent recording of the plaza theme. Click me.I think I've already uploaded the Ride End announcement, I forgot though.
  17. It's a motor, you can mainly tell by the fact that the seats spin before the arm swings
  18. Seeing as its only Tuesday I would be quite dissapointed if it STILL hasn't opened this weekend, which would be after 10 days-ish of testing.

    I like it, and I like how you blame liking it on me! You asked for some good songs and I gave you one!
  20. No it doesn't, hes taking advantage of you not knowing :)Its £5.80ish to be a ride host and like 10p extra if your an operator.
  21. Could be anything really Could even be a TV screen for all we know.
  22. When 2 or more effects are broken they must shut down to fix them.
  23. Well they have to fix them in accordance with the contract with Lionsgate about effects not working
  24. Saw is now listed as unavailable, methinks to fix the axes?
