Inside them, it may be doing a tiny bit of damage, but this is not visible to the naked eye.
-
Yes, I realise that Seb - but Alex is implying otherwise. He was asked to prove that Sam had left Thorpe, and he posts a picture from when it left Chessie.
-
OMG, I do not believe you! A building will not fall down due to damp. But it can have serious effect on the walls, no so much that it's structurally putting anything or itself at risk.
-
Hmm, is that Tomb Blaster I see in the distance?This is getting out-of-hand now.
-
Damp-wise, is this good for the tunnels etc?
-
Yes, certainly - take this picture for example, from the latest Dylan update. I can't view the picture at this link:http://content.maniahub.com/photo/Thorpe/1...an/P1090320.JPGAnd it's the same with many others.

To be honest mate, I didn't really notice that Samurai really is cutting off SAW earlier when I posted, but now I see what you mean.And yes, you've offended me.But the map shows it, I thought you posted the map trying to prove that Samurai really is cutting off SAW. Sorry for any offence.
-
It says correct as of 11th May 2008. No it ain't!And, Mr Hicks...
...where did I say that?I didnt say it.And yes, Theme Park bloke, we realise that Samurai is blocking off SAW.
But, whether Thorpe realise... hmmmm. -
A lot of images on TPM aren't displaying. They were OK the other day.
-
All this week I've been seeing the ad on Channel 4 for Heather Mills on Star Stories. Does anyone know what music is used in this? It's the light music, very relaxing.
-
Judging by that picture, it's apparent that Corkscrew hasn't been dismantled yet, although I heard it had been already.
-
If your friend believes that, he'll believe anything. All that time re-routing the railway? The engineers will go mad!I heard from a friend that works at Thorpe that they're planning to build a golf course (like Extraordinary Golf at alton Towers) on the site where Thorpe Farm used to be :- Made accesible by canada creek railway
-
No, it's definately Canada Creek. Otherwise it would be turqouise Lost City colours.The Lost City hasn't really got a logo has it, so it would be good to see one developed. According to Wikipedia it's based around a Mayan temple/land. :mellow:Also, interesting pic I found of the whole park:I think Slammer is meant to be part of Lost City, not completly sure though.
-
The version I've got only has the trumpets missing, other than that the track is exactly the same as the one played on Colossus. For a few seconds worth of trumpets, it ain't worth surfing the www - if anything, I prefer it without the trumps.
-
They were still on there with the scaffolding surrounding them during the middle of November. I can't believe they've had to take them off again, it shows what complicated technology Slammer really is. Have they sent them back to S&S again? Because this time, surely, if they have been sent back, S&S should either replace them or get some staff to England to have a detailed look at the problems.I see Slammer top are off.
No, and I couldn't care. Honestly, I'm sick of this stupid 13th-every-month thing Thorpe keep doing. The novelty's worn off. We all know it's Saw and what the theme is - a bit different if we didn't know the name.Cant wait until the 13th! Any guesses yet?
-
It probably thought "Sod this, I much prefer to swing over Maccy D fries!"I think this year has gotta be it's worst downtime since Vekoma put the new trains in. And even if the problems are lift hill related, there's still no sign of scaffolding on the first one, now that the park is closed. Remember that when you go past the Monkey Puzzle on the Leatherhead Road, you can see the first lift hill peeking out behind the building, and the lift hill mechanism and cog.Plus you can see the Nosferatu window if you're in slow traffic!
-
You mean on the earth-shuddering drums section? On a copy I have, it has the drums without the trumpets.Anyway, are those lovely green Bose outdoor speakers going to be put in for Saw? And is new music being composed, or is Saw film music going to be used?So many questions, so few answers.Thorpe Park stole it and added trumpets.
-
That was very geeky.Even though Colossus' track is for the ride, the track itself is actually officially known as Lost City music. Hence why it partly used on Vortex.
-
I think his name was Simon.

Is that the section just after the camera, as you do the slow 180 degree turn before the inline twists?I had the strangest dream about Colossus recently. I dreampt a recreation of it was done on a steep cliff near the sea. It was so odd because the train would leave the station and not actually hit rollercoaster track until the bottom of the lift hill. Then instead of turning left at the top for the descent, it would turn right. You went through the loop as normal, and the bunny hop towards the cobra roll was so big and long, it dived down to about 50 metres above sea level - however it seemed to slow down here and not really go through a cobra roll. Yes, it eventually turned round and powered back up to the land, but it did not go into corkscrews. This was the most oddest part, where it slowed right down and all of a sudden it changed from an Intamin coaster to a B&M inverter! It then continued some odd route, slowing down at points, there was no inline twists either, but there was one section where it powered up so fast for a Stealth-type top hat B&M inverter syle! I can't remember how it ended.

I already have the music, plus every other Thorpe Park tune that's going out there. Let's be realistic though, the only crackling Speakers are on Slammer which do need to be fixed, the old music is OK but the new one is so much better. The old music is some tune they dug up from somwhere on this planet, it's heard from radio station competitions to big annual events. The new one however was composed for the park. As for the Vortex theme, what's changed, except a new announcement in it? And the old Detonator music, please yes, let's have it back.Alternatively you could listen to the full thing here! :mellow:I hope they sort out the audio properly for 09. Get all the volume levels right, get rid of the dodgy crackling speakers, fix WWTP so there is no cutting out and no delays on different speakers, bring back the original Slammer, Vortex and Detonator themes and pow! Win for Thorpe.
I have 3 tracks of the old Detonator music. I have the full theme tune, the "5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Explosion" countdown, and the countdown with the rasising music.Click here for the old main themeGod I miss the old Detonator music. It created such a great atmosphere and it was so loud. I remember in the years of 2005 and before just walking up to Detonator and hearing the music which really built the tension and the atmosphere. Don't mind the new music.

Is it water or steam that shoots into the hole?
-
No, there isn't.There is/ was a crack in the first corkscrew though.
Are talking about the supports here or track? And when you say foundations, do you mean the piling?A few months/years ago the foundations for the vertical loop had to be reset as because of the shifting landscape, cracks had appeared. Cracks have also been found in the first part of the lay-out, particularly in the downhill helix.

Mark, cast your mind back to about 2005 - do you remember a chap working in Falls with blonde hair and a bushy beard? Quite young. He always used to organise the queueline into 2's, 3's or 4's really well, he would shout out.
