  1. An orange Ice themed coaster! Errrrr, ok!!!!
  2. Definitely an unpopular opinion! It's a bloody dreadful name!
  3. Anyone would think Martin and Joshua work for Tulley's marketing team 😂
  4. The date has been set at Sunday 13th October. Can you now please confirm attendance below and I will add you to the list.
  5. Must be inconsistent. I thought the whole left arm (when looking at it) was going to snap in half as it did its flips a few weeks back as it seemed to be moving more than the opposite side.
  6. I would love to do that, but sadly the nature of my job does not allow for that! You could go both!
  7. It got a lot of signatures yes! A shame most people never had a clue what the real bubbleworks was about! Lucky for me being born in the late 80s I did!
  8. It's still running, on peak days only as it has for the last two/three seasons or so!
  9. During FN the difference in crowd on a Saturday to Sunday really isn't much before the half term weekends. I've been on extremely busy Saturdays and Sundays yet also been on very empty Saturdays and Sundays too! You
  10. If the bubbleworks campaign got nowhere, neither will this! Waste of time IMO. Sorry for the negativity!
  11. What severely worries me is how this is such a low capacity, but supposedly heavily themed ride. The park struggles to get through queues with its current rides and this only seats 16. When you think it will be new, well themed, have to cater for RAP and fastrack as well as probably have one member of staff working on it I can forsee a Very Very long queue for this. It is going to be painfully slow!
  12. TBH with mazes opening at 3pm there should be plenty of time even if it's the Saturday. Plus how often have crowds been very high this year? Very few days. Might have that trend continue into FN! With fright nights also starting early this year it could mean 'week 3' is the 'traveller sunday' aka the weekend we are going! That reminds me, just over 24 hours left to vote for the day! Come on guys let's have more of you vote and attend this trip. They are great fun!
  13. In fairness at the same time no one has said it is coming back either and a lot have the same mindset as Coaster. The sign is very cleverly worded. Although personally I think it will be back next year, to take mind off the fact Rameses Revenge won't be there. Interestes to hear what 'other plans' are rumoured for next year then?
  14. Welcome to the forum, would be great to have you at the meet Any questions please feel free to PM myself or any of the team!
  15. Why are they unpopular opinions? I think most would agree with most of those.
  16. I didn't find it rough, but the rest yes and the drop is forceless. It truly is one of the worst coasters in the park. The restraints change on these rides was one of B&Ms worst decisions. Wait until you try Banshee and see how much they ruin that ride!
  17. I don't think your points about Cedar Point are unpopular, all of the people i went with on my two visits would 100% agree.
  18. Blimey! DIdn't expect it to look that awesome. Loving the look of the tight turns, water features, mist etc Stats so far: Height 148ft Inversions: 4 (loop, batwing and corkscrew) Speed 62mph Also guessing that seeing as the model is called 1320, i'm guessing that's its length in metres (4,330ft), which isn't bad (same length as Taron) Can't wait to get out there next year!
  19. Don't always assume they will. We left 7 mins early on two flights this month and on all 4 flights I've taken we have arrived early! They just suck at pointless up charges. Would be great to have you at a meet though as you've been absent all year haha.
  20. Hmm, nobody else has messaged, but based on your request I will change this to a poll to see who the others are that say they can only make the 13th. I will put the poll up for one week.
  21. Sounds great, will be nice to have you to join the fun. We always have a great day.
  22. Hi everyone, Halloween is coming up and that means we will be holding the annual TPM Thorpe Park Fright Nights meet. The date of the event has been set as Sunday 13th October. Please PM me or reply below if you plan on attending. The event will take place over the whole day as the park will be open 10am - 10pm, with horror mazes from 3PM. Below is the provisional plan for the day: Park opening - Meet in the dome 10:15 - Start making way around the rides 1:30ish - Lunch 2:30 - Meet back up and start making way to first maze choice. 3:30 onwards - More mazes and rides in the dark until close (maybe another stop for food later if people hungry) The meets are great fun and everyone is invited, even if you have never posted before or even been to a meet at all. If it's your first meet, I understand it can be nerve breaking - but we were all there once before, so all know the feeling, please don't let this stop you from attending. Once you are there you'll be part of the group in no time at all! Everyone attending will have my number or be a part of a FB messenger group. Attendance: Mattgwise EpicSmatty Glitch Jessica2 Joe99 JoshC Loggers Creek Marc MattyMoo Mer Mr Fish Stuntman707
  23. Unless this has changed from literally a couple of weeks ago Samurai still has the single rider queue.
  24. Incredible. Less than 24 hours since this incident and its already testing! Edit - and the ride reopened around 12:30pm!
  25. Could have been disastrous! But thankfully no one hurt from the looks of it but something quite serious looking has happened to the chain on Wodan whilst it was loaded. See pic below from EP&CO on Facebook. It seems the chain snapped at the top and then hurled down the track towards the train.
