Nemesis Inferno
James I think your a bit mixed up we are talking about the Aligator in Nemesis Inferno not the Gecko at the exit of Rumba.Sorry if you are being sarcastic and I didn't pick it up.

Thorpe Park Trip Reports
Another Trip Report for you all :DThe day started at about 8:45 when we arrived at the park and it wasn't too busy then.We got into the park at 9:15 and headed for SAW, it opened at around 9:45 and we got row 3 which is my favorite, I got the photo of our ride which was my 10th ride on SAW.We then went on Samurai with about a 5min queue but it would have been about 10mins but there was a space for two on row 3 and we got offered it so it cut our queuing in half :PThen we went to Stealth and which was broken down so we went to Nemesis which was walk on :PAfter that we went to Detonator and queued for about 15mins after that was Zodiac which surpirisingly had about a 20min queue, we then went on Quantum with a 10min queue, by this time it was about 12 and we saw Stealth go over with people on it so of course we went to Stealth, it had just opened so it had about a 20min queue, we had just got to the bit where the main and front queue split and they said it had broken down, we waited for another 20mins and it got working again so we got a bit further forward and it had broken down yet again, then we waited for another 10mins and they kept testing it but one train was only just making it over the top so they had to take it off to get it repaired so it was now on only one train and becuase we had gone for front seats we actually waited about 1hour more than we should have done.We then had lunch at the buffet and after that did Loggers Leap with about a 30min queue.We then got a bit annoyed becuase in Storm in a Teacup we had to go with a group of chavs and we said to the girl opperating it if we could wait and she said no so we ended up leaving the ride without getting our ride, at this point I got very annoyed with Storm In A Teacup and what had happened with Stealth so we went to guest services to complain and we managed to get an exit pass each so we went to Stealth to use it.My friend had never been on Flying Fish so we went on that.Next was X:\ No Way Out, not much to say here other than I have lost my taste in it.We then went on Time Voyagers (waste of time) and did Rush wiht a 10min queue :Dand then Detonator again and a funny thing happend on this two girls were pushing past everyone and the guy opperating it said "Thorpe Park does not accept queue jumpers could you please leave the queue" everyone started laughing as the girls made the walk of shame out of the queue(made my day) by this time it was about 5, so we went around looking for short queues and we found Rumba with about a 10minute queue, so we did that and then finally did Depth Charge with a 30min queue.Ride CountStealth - 2Nemesis Inferno - 1SAW - The Ride - 1Samurai - 1Rush - 1X:\ No Way Out - 1Quantum - 1Zodiac - 1Loggers Leap - 1Depth Charge - 1Detonator - 2Flying Fish - 1Ride Queue TimesSAW - The Ride - 2 Hours 20minsColossus - 65-85minsNemesis - Didn't reach over 60minsStealth - Roughly 2hours at peak.Rush - *One Swing* 60mins at peak.Samurai - 40minsVortex - 30minsX:\ No Way Out - 45minsTidal Wave - 10mins max.Detonator - 25-35minsLoggers Leap - 30mins pretty much all day.Rumba Rapids - about 15- 25minsFishy - 10minsStorm In A Teacup - 10minsDepth Charge - 30minsQuantum - 15mins at peak.Zodiac - 30mins :DOverall not a bad day not as busy as I had expected and didn't need Fastrack but I think my trip on Friday was better.*Also whilst SAW - The Ride Fastrack is still unavailable the DVDs are and they show you a preview of it like they do in the photos, the DVD cases also look quite impressive and possibly worth the £12*

SAW: The Ride
It seems short but its not really becuase when you think about it, it is actually quite long if you think how long the inside takes and then the coaster outside.Also the body and the water have really been sorted out now, you can tell its Jigsaw they have multicoloured lights on him to make it look really spooky and the water actually reaches you now.

Compliments about Thorpe Park
The staff are normally quite nice, I have to bring this up though the people opperating the stalls are very pushy Also when the park is quite busy they get the rides going quickly to reach maximum throughput.Also Alfonso was opperating Stealth's baggage yesterday.

Queue Times
Anything 45mins or under, also depends on what ride and what mood I'm in

No offence but that seems like a waste of time.

Thorpe Park Trip Reports
Right trip report for today :PStarted off at 9:00 and there were already people outside the AP enterance and loads of people queuing for tickets, the first thing I said was "this is alot buisier tahn I expected".We got into the park at around 9:50 (opened 10mins early) and headed straight for SAW, we waited untill 10:00 and it opened with us waiting about 5mins in the main queue.After that we headed for Samurai and waited around 10mins and had a great go on Row 3.Then we went to Stealth, to find it was broken down, we thne went to Nemesis Inferno and waited again about 10mins and got on nicely on the back row, whilst queuing we saw Stealth go over so we headed to Stealth again after Nemesis Inferno, we joined a 15min queue for Stealth and half way through it had broken down again, we waited 5mins then they said it was looking like a long time untill it would be fixed so we left, we then went over to Canada Creek to get on Loggers Leap, we waited about 15mins and got slightly wet, after that we went for the buffet at Pizza Hut, after lunch we wanderd around looking for small queues we then stunbled upon Depth Charge and did that twice, waiting around 5mins each time.We then went to Tidal Wave and waited about 20mins for it, we then did Zodiac twice and Stealth single rider.We then went to X and waited about 20mins, pretty rubbish, I used to like it but now I wish they would get rid of it.After that we did Zodiac again and Mr Monkeys Banana Ride, and Rocky Express and another Loggers.I think we did Stealth single rider again after that and Quantum with a quick go on Rumba, after that it was getting quite close to 6:00 so we did Colossus with a 20min queue and after that quickly got into Stealth and went front seats in about 20mins.Ride CountStealth = 3 (with Alfonso operating the baggage )Colossus = 1Nemesis Inferno = 1SAW - The Ride = 1Samurai = 1Loggers Leap = 2 (with a very funny photo )Zodiac = 3Depth Charge = 2Banana Ride = 1Rumba Rapids = 1Tidal Wave = 1Quantum = 1X\: No Way Out = 1Ride Queue TimesSAW - The Ride = 5mins when we rode but quickly shot up to 120 when we left our ride and stayed like that pretty much all day.Colossus = 50 but went up to 80 at one point.Nemesis = Didn't see it go over 45minsStealth = around 50 all day but went up to 60 at one point.Samurai = 60minsVortex = 30minsX\: No Way Out = 30minsRumba = 10-25minsDetonator = 30minsDepth Charge = 5-15minsRush = 15-40minsZodiac = Pretty much walk on.Quantum = 5minsLoggers Leap = 20-30minsTidal Wave = 20-25minsIt was a pretty good day overall but much buisier than I expected and I think James6 would agree.
