    Yeah I doubt thats true.
  2. That makes sense now you mention it.Thanks.
  3. Sorry for this if its obvious but why does Chessington have much smaller queues than Thorpe?

    ClickyThat looks exactly like Storm in a Teacup but I don't think it is.Its amazing the similarities.
  5. From what I have seen its either played on a tape or he appears on a T.V.
  6. I don't actually know why but it wasn't launching as fast as the other one and it only just made it over the top a couple of times.
  7. Does anyone else agree that instead of "Billy" on his bike at the start talking to you he should be on a T.V. screen like you are in a trap, becuase Billy never actually appears on his bike in the traps that I have seen if that makes sense, also some people cannot see Billy that well when everyone is looking at him another reason why it should be on a T.V. screen.
  8. It actually makes me not want to do it (not that I would want to in the first place) but its put me off those side stalls for life.
  9. I know but they just don't take no for an answer, this guy kept asking us if we wanted a go and we said no thanks and he kept asking and asking it got very annoying.

    Sorry to burst your bubble but I doubt it will be open yesterday it was trying to test and it kept getting stuck at really odd angles and when it was moving it was moving really slowly, when we went to the ride and asked the staff outside when it would be open they said it may not be open untill at least Wednesday or Thursday.
  11. Yeah I can do that too, don't get me wrong I love the ride its just if I don't sit at the front of the car (not the train) it hurts.
  12. 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.
  13. For me it only hurts through the Cobra Roll when its changing from half loop to corkscrew.
  14. Yep we saw the queue at about 3:00 so we went straight for it, but it was very short only one swing at full height.
  15. It was at 15mins today even that surprised me.

    It was testing today well trying to test, it kept getting stuck at really weird angles.
  17. With about 3 breakdowns and a train change within 30mins.
  18. 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*
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. They say it has strobe lights, where?And when I went on it yesterday Rob was right they are Crossbows attached to syringes.
  22. I went yesterday and it wasn't working.
  23. Same it gets really annoying and I have heard from alot of people that its confusing if its you first time.
  24. Didn't get on it yesterday my friends were scared
  25. Anything 45mins or under, also depends on what ride and what mood I'm in
