I only have freeview because I don't watch too much tv and half the time it's on I'm flicking between channels because there's too many good programmes to watch.

Friday 26th:Not too busy at all, only ride not open was tidal wave.Ride count:Stealth 2Colossus 3Nemesis inferno 4Rush 5Slammer 3Samurai 2Detonater 2X had someone sick so it was closed when we went to it and din't bother queuing as they are often long later.Largest queue was at peak time about 15-20 minutes for samurai at peak time, Colossus never went past the final stretch where it splits to front row and rest of train, nemesis inferno never went past the first queing square sort of bit with the tvs and the annoyign sugar puffs rip off of the mighty boosh advert. No real big queues and we spent alot of time doing other things like gambiling £6 worth of 2ps for a few crappy key rings and talk to girls.

Yea, as I siad it's unlikely but I thin kthat if it coudl be done right it could create a great atmosphere in the area, creating a horror scene with mysteries or riddles, maybe around loggers leap rather than the rather boring spot the bears theme, it would create more atmosphere. Although loggers and the small kids ride with the indian in the middle (I forgot the name) would both be hard to theme, I trust it could be done and done well.

front or back of Colossus

I can never manage to get a decnet photo, you never can when you expect the cameras but I got a picture of me and a friend, we went the other day and I had to buy a keyring, we were in our muse and metallica t shirts, looking like true metalheads with two fingers for a moustach and a hand in the air, we were being hitlers hehe.edit:was on stealth.

top thrill dragstar, lap bar, much more comfortable and only slightly smaller than kingda ka, I've heard it's the better ride so many times so I'd anticipate it more so. I also think Shreikra would be cool to experience but then again, the theme looks terrible, jsut a red track and dull grey car parks situated around it, I like a coaster with good scenary and views.

I hope for the areas sake that along with Dylan's arrival, Loggers leap is rethemed from the family fun spot the bears ride it is now to a haunted boat journey in lost Canadian woods of some sort. The two could work really well together and amke a great theme, maybe even a new name for the area but it's unlikely.

I went once, I was young and it was terrible, I went on the newer one in the summer, we thought it was terrible and the glasses were irritating, we laughed alot and probably ruined it for all the youngens' in the front as well. :x
-
I was very young when it was still around, I was scared of the huge witches head outside screaming "HAHAHAHA!!!" and had to run past it on my way to thunder rapids every time, I only wnet on it a couple times and I was terrified, there's still a cart on the ferris wheel along with many other old rides in the area I forgot it's name, with all the old characters thorpe park was based on, ranger county, thats it.

back in the day haha, I'm only 14, been going all my life so I vaguely remember some of that before they were taken over by tuassords, I remember the viking rowing boats where tidal wave is now, I was with my mum and brother, my brother claimed he could row, we got stuck in the middle and needed a tow back in haha, I was like 5 or 6 back then.

It was a fair ground ride but it looked relaly fun, the year I was tall enough for the 1.4s it was repalced by samurai, I was dissapointed as it looked really fun but I've always loved samurai.
-
I've gone every year since birth, I'd say when I was 9 and Colossus was finally finished I was so hyped for it but I would have to stick to my detonater and zodiac for naother year as I wasn't tall enough, since 10 thorpe park has been amazing for me, I could actually go on the thrill seeker rides then!
Too many memories of thorpe park really. -
I've never been to alton unfortunately but I have an oppinion on it although it may be atad off.I don't think it's theme fits it's location but the ride itself is well themed with the race atmosphere.When it was being announced I felt fooled when it was all bigging up 0-100 in 2.4, it took me alot of research to find out that was kph, it's not actually that fast, the acceleration is that of a a fast car and I beleive it was out classed by stealth and it's 0-80 in 1.9 (2.3 before stealth 1.1). IT's air time looks fairly impressive, however and I can't express a fully justified oppinion till I can haul myself up north and try it myself.

Great pics, I'll see what I can get soon, hoping to go on a thorpe blast or fright nite.

I think Vortex is pretty boring, when with friends I wonder why everyones screaming, it doesn't make my stomach churn or even make me twitch, it's not very entertaining to me whereas rush is, I really like rush.
-
That's well worth it, I'll usually go with a 2 for 1 making it £16.50 or a ten pound bounce back, which is best, in theory it pays for itself twice and I'd love to go enough times for it to be paid for if I were just using bounce backs, I'm getting one next year and I doubt I'll regret it.

Colossus and Nemesis:Inferno have great music, really suits the themes and builds up tention if you're not busy chatting with friends as you do in the queue line.I trust there'll be a great theme along with music for Dylan, also.

Girls who must be atleast 16 pretending to be 14 and then inviting you to a house party in brickston when you live in hampshire and asking you to bring drugs which you've never even been near or wanted to be near in your life. Nothing wrong with them being 2 years older but lying about it, drugs, brickston... I'd get jacked. knew their not 14 when they told me to come out at 11 on a school night about 2 hours from where they live.GRRR THEIR FIT THO
