    I'm a bit lost for riddles at the moment so here's an easy one: How many months have 28 days?
  3. I have to say, this hotel looks to be a promising investment for Thorpe, even though it may prove extremely costly, and therefore postpone any new rides to be added in the near future, think of the long-term positives; the park will be making massive profits and so eventually, we could see major developments to the park.

    In all honesty, I agree with what A-Kid and James said on the previous page - if Stealth had T-Bars if would be infinitely better.
  5. I agree, the last 3 times I've visited Thorpe I completely forgot where the Flying Fish was.

    :PAnyhoo, Mall Cop because comedy owns horror any day imo.Black Pepper or Tennis Balls?
  7. Still wouldn't work. Spinners, as Mark said, offer a mediocre thrill and don't do anything for queueing times.
  8. Well, the land infills would have to be left for about 2-3 years before they can have a Wooden Coaster built on them. Also, there is a very valid point in that the supports would be deemed far too dense for Thorpe, as you cannot see clearly through them, unlike B&M's and Intamin's slender supports, which are far less annoying to the bird-watchers and local council who are obsessed with ruining thrills at Thorpe. :(The dense supports restriction also rules out manufacturers like Premier Rides, because they're supports are all boxish...

  10. Thorpe (with any hope) will never build a Wild Mouse or a Spinning coaster, becuase the throughput is absolutely terrible, Thorpe need coaster with 1000pph+ if they're going to be successful. As for the Wooden Coaster, I believe it's missed it's cue. The only place I could think of that it would suit in Thorpe is the Canada Creek infill, which is now occupied by SAW.And because of SAW, I doubt Thorpe would build another vertical lift/drop coaster, it would be almost impossible to market as something original for Thorpe.

    Give that boy a cigar! Horne and Corden is a load of rubbish tbh. And I'm so glad Britannia High got axed a few months back, it was just like High School Musical (which is bad enough as it is) but without the singing.
  12. People need to stop blaming Thorpe for this. SAW has the excuse that it is new, and S&S aren't the most reliable manufacturer in the world an Slammer, and it's a pretty complicated ride. Give Thorpe some slack OK? It's not they're fault and I'm pretty sure Thorpe do all they can fix their problems, but do remember that Thorpe can and do call in engineers to help them fix the rides. Sometimes the engineers aren't available, which means that rides stay closed for longer, which can't be helped.

    Well, Maelstrom is uglier; less-themed/has less décor; has no atmospheric music; and the forces aren't as strong.

    I play piano and I love composing my own music; it's tends to reflect my mood. I've composed over 10 new 3 pages+ pieces so far. [/snob]

    When we were in Year 8, our school took us to Thorpe. They promised they'd take us again next year... pffft! They took us to Brean....
  17. To help with the throughput. In my eyes, if Thorpe do indeed go ahead with installing another Detonator, they should make it exactly the same as the original. If the new one was taller, it would take away the force, and a lauched tower is just of boring waste of time and money.
  18. I was watching TMF late last night and the advert came on. Got me in the mood for a trek up to Thorpe in a few weeks!

    Everyone in my year prefers Physical Geography to Human. We did both Physical topics first so now we've got 5 Human topics until next year. Sad Times

    The floor lowers so to prevent the bottoms of the seats/riders legs from crashing into the floor. Next time you stand in the queue try to see how the bottom parts of the pendulum do actually dip beneath the level of the lowering floor.
