When I went yesterday - Quite a lot of the staff did seem quite enthusiastic instead of the look of 'do I have to be here?!'.Obviously this doesnt go for all staff, but for most I saw.

Not saying this rudely before you think I am Ricky but you do visit a hell of a lot to Thorpe Park... Therefore, obviously you are going to hear it a lot as you are always there!It is like me with visiting Chessington WoA. We both see things more because we visit more often...I heard Inferno Dispatch many atime last year.

Changes on Dragon Falls that I saw...The epic announcements with the booty in the boaty and arms and regs have now gone!
I felt quite upset to be honest that these have now gone to some boring old announcement. However, no announcement could of been more boring than the woman one they first had which was just -- Yawn!Also, there is audio as you enter the dragons mouth... -
Tuk Tuk Turmoil was previously Rodger the Dodger's Dodgems when Wild Asia was Beanoland.The only thing I prefer about the previous dodgems was the audio music used.However, I find that the cars seem to be moving faster along the 'path' which is nice.Also, I think the use of pre-recorded announcements on this type of ride works as it sounds quite enthusiastic.They certainly are doing everything they can to advertise Kobra as at the end of the ride; you get reminded to take a spin on the Kobra. :mellow:Discuss your thoughts and opinions of Tuk Tuk Turmoil here...

I swear there is still a grave thing on the left hand side before you enter the building...One thing I don't like about Vamp's redone queue is that they've got rid of the graves as you walk into the building...
I have to agree. I love hearing Vampire's music and is clearly my favourite piece of audio by far. I also like that the ride operators this year, so far, aren't speaking over the audio a lot. Really, no announcements are needed at all in my eyes as the ride hosts need to do everything the operator says via PA anyways...I love being able to feel the music thumping on the floor.Also, I heard someone yesterday state how well themed the station and queue line was. He also complimented the audio as wellI love Vampire's loud music. Last year it got ruined because it was so quiet that the operators would muffle it everytime they spoke in the microphone. Now it is like I remember it years ago, dramatic and thumping
(I think he was a 'normal' guest too!)Vampire is still ticking all the boxes for me so far!!

Kobra and Wild Asia are certainly growing on me.When I first saw Wild Asia, it was certainly better than I thought but it is just getting higher and higher for me.Kobra is an amazing ride which is a good duration and has a very well themed queue line. I found the queue for Kobra to move quickly too.

What about the amazing light brown haired guy?He seems to be doing quite well too...Anyone see a blonde boy shooting up and down the Vampire platform recently?I heard he's quite good.
-
Rattlesnake is better anyways so good decision :mellow:I'll try and reconise you in futureYeah, that's something I really should do. I'll do it tomorrow.
Didn't end up going on Kobra again by the way; Rattlesnake called us. lol

I would say it is a more purple than the pinky purple used before. However, that may just be meHave they been re-painted the same colour, or different? :mellow:And great to hear about the audio, the atmosphere when walking in to Transylvania at Hocus Pocus was electric!
-
Apologies for double post, but was ages ago :mellow:Saw today: Vampire's queue line bars have been painted and the Bubbleworks audio is now playing around outside Bubbleworks. (Like when the outdoor speakers are used for Halloween Hocus Pocus).

Sorry, it was because you dont have a DP so I was trying to think... ;)Nice to put a face to a name as you say though and I am glad you had a good dayToday also seemed to be a day for meeting people. Met AeRo a couple of times during the day and was nice to finally be able to speak to him. Also spoke to Keith whilst he was on the Safari Skyway - and he seemed a little freaked out when I knew who he was!
Was good to be able to put a couple of faces to names.

One word - WOW!

8pm closes were never a problem the last time I looked.I personally think the park should try and have openings until 7pm in the summer holidays.I visit the park when they were experimenting with the 7pm closures as there was still queues, but not very long at all...6 and 8pm closes are

Watching now - What Katie Did Next as I am bored. :DIt feels weird when she is driving around Brighton that I can be like "Wow I am always there!"
or "I got drunk there" Just waiting to see her face to face now! :D -
Thank you for looking!I have just tries it now and it is now working. YAY! :DThanks again!I seem to be able to access it ok.

Agreed. Colossus is my favourite ride there too!

Wow people can be quite special at times....Freak!!!

*HOPING*Nemesis Inferno is just not the same without its usual audio!If it's not fixed soon then hopefully they'll just bring back the queue theme to the station.

To the person that filmed these - The word "freak" comes to mind...Anyone fancy another spin?Well, what does everyone think about them?Washing Machine Video 1Post your thoughts here!OH MY GOD WE'RE SUDSLOCKING, OH MY GOD

On the good Nemesis Inferno music that was played last season - Even though that looped instead of dispatch theme, I didn't mind it as it did not come across as repetitive. (Also I really liked it!
)
How is your head Mikey? Made you anymore insaner?For anyone that was there when I was around Inferno, will know how much I love the geysers under the loop. So pleased it's working this year.

If their is something I can do after making people go to the top of the exit stairs, then they come back down - Please inform me! :mellow:Most of the Adventurers do stay at the top I have found so far but there are a few, as rygr states, that do come back down. - Reminds me of a convayor belt - Same thing said to them over and over again!
