With the park boasting some of the most famous coasters in the UK and some of the oldest woodies around, I'd be surprised if they were PURELY dedicated to Ice Shows, which I don't really pay attention to at a theme park.I agree though, I love Valhalla! The effects are certainly better than what I'm seeing on any Merlin park rides right now.

I do hope Blackpool pulls out of the credit crunch fine, I really like that place. I'm not too pleased about Space Invader 2 being SBNO for this year possibly, I have a strange liking for strange / pointless rides!. Rollercoaster not being open will be a bit strange too .

The pictures are in an album on Facebook which is where the link is to.Edit: they seem to have been taken off

Well if you walk past on a quiet day when Falls is closed you can hear the Tomb Blaster music from inside through the walls.

No Beth is only a platformer for Dragon Falls, James however is likely to hurl loads of abuse at you

I'm thinking its more likely to be 15 if it happens.

Thank God for that.

They applied for planning permission for an arena thing on that grass area. Not too sure whats happening with that though.

Although I've just been informed that they have a combination of 1 & 3, 4 & 6 or 2 & 5 although I've only EVER seen or even heard of it being used on 4 and 6.

Every Rameses ride is setting 6 and 4.

They haven't removed the areas though, each area still exists, its just rather than classifying the rides into areas on the map, they classify them into levels of thrill.

Can I just ask why the Thorpe Park Quick Questions topic is locked?

Yeah it is slightly odd. I love the 2007 soundtrack (not keen on the 2008 one, it sounds too remixy), but it's just not great at the park. The ticking made it more fearful for me than the countdown cos you didn't know when you were gonna drop with the ticking, but hey, thats just how it goes.

Yes I prefer Detonator to Apocalypse too, I only did the stand-up one on Apocalypse and it still wasn't as forceful as Detonator. It's great how a rides soundtrack can change somebodys opinion on a ride. Apocalypses tension seemed to be created by the whole ride, station and area having an industrial / run down theme to it (although that could just be Drayon's bad maintainence ), Thorpe achieved that tension on Detonator just by having 4 speakers at the top.

A belated happy birthday Hope you had a good day.

Whatever happened to warn levels being a personal thing

Track layout:

Correct There used to be speakers on the trains back in the old days that played helicopter and sci-fi sound effects etc.

Should have gone to the SouthParks meetup on the 14th and had an all-day wristband for £6! :)Personally I think Rage is a let down, and I don't think its that exciting, but it's ideal for a developing park like Adventure Island. I do expect Saws drop to be a lot more intense.

They probably would, but they shouldn't. It's firmly attatched, and there will be enough clearance that makes is pyhsically impossible for riders to touch it.

Interesting read there Ian :)Sorta makes sense now, although it never actually occured to me that TV and HPH don't have coloured lenses until now. As for HPH though, doesn't that work on a different system to make 3D images because its UV and stuff, rather than projectors?
