  1. They seem to be doing a lot of "TLC" around the place which is great to see for such a small park. Maybe BPB should go and visit AI for some ideas!
  2. I am pretty sure it is Vortex that survived and Scorpion (Calgary Stampede style ride) that has gone.
  3. All very valid reasons, and can see why you like it based on what you have said. Personally for me I don't understand the issue with SV restraints and I am not a slim person at 15 and a half stone, but many have said the same as you so fair enough. Glad you enjoyed the other coasters. Your last line is a very good point as well!
  4. ? ?????? I am confused as to how you can say that! It's rough, bumpy, only airtime is the bunny hop style hills and they are painful!I even prefer Gemini over Magnum! And then theres MF, SV and TTD, all a billion times better! But you are entitled to your opinion. Glad you enjoyed it. What did you think of the park generally?
  5. So the VIP pass got stopped and now individual parks are rolling out their own starting with Legoland! Called Club VIP which is supposedly invitation only (but allows you to register interest on the page) it offers the following Club VIP Unlimited entry to the LEGOLAND®Windsor Resort. Gold wristband for instant ride access on every visit. Preferred complimentary room upgrades where available. Complimentary preferred parking. 20% discount on dining. 10% discount on LEGO® purchases on Resort.* A LEGO gift on your birthday. 2 guest day passes (Additional guest passes available for £100). Complimentary hot and cold beverages (in a souvenir cup). One pre-booked entry to our VIP fireworks. Calendar invites to exclusive events. £650 per membership (12 Month Membership) What are your thoughts of this. It can be found on the VIP experiences page of Legoland website. https://www.legoland.co.uk/tickets-and-passes/vip-experiences/view-all-vip-experiences/#clubvip
  6. They were fixed two seasons ago, but then broke again (or weren't swithched on). Last season i saw only the sink work on one visit and nothing on the rest. Was just nice to see them all working. The house sets certainly do look worn which is a shame. At least the park are trying to touch little things up and repair things.
  7. It did from about ten days into the season. A shame!
  8. Nice to see all water effects have been fixed on this. Also saw them emptying the boats water twice today, something I haven't really seen before.

    2019 Season

    Seems a lot more people are getting the coca cola freestyle capsules. They really are great value and offer great choice. Only £4 refill charge with an AP is a steal! Hope it gets rolled out across other Merlin parks.
  10. Great to see that overall operations continue to be great at Thorpe this year. It has certainly been improved this year compared to the last few years and nice to see coasters consistently opening on more than one train! Also nice that the park was pretty much fully open from 9:30am despite advertising as open from 10am.
  11. It's great seeing this working again as well as a couple of other effects like Tidal queueline and Stealth smoke. Adds to the atmosphere a lot!
  12. It really was awful, only inverted once fully when riding it, and no force or intensity at all. Hope its not going to always be like this now.
  13. Not too late to join us for this weekend. We always have a great time at Towers and in Derby during the evening! Let me know if you wish to join.
  14. Those attending this trip can now buy 2 day tickets for the price of one. They are running an offer of a free second day all throughout July and August. https://www.phantasialand.de/en/park/tickets/ferien-fun-x2/
  15. It looks better than i was expecting and seems well paced and has some good inversions, plus decent pops of airtime. I shall be riding!
  16. There could be as many as another 8 films! ?
  17. Thanks for that! I'm now booked for Friday and Saturday night.

    Maybe they have changed their mind and it's going to make a splashback soon! ?
  19. Was just having a bit of fun! ?
  20. Cedar point have a themed bouncy castle and have had it for years. No one moans about it. ?
  21. What! Are you kidding me? ?
  22. Well I personally felt MT was dull! So I would say Wodan was far better. The Beast was even far better than Mystic Timbers. Overrated!
  23. A few of us drive so lifts can be arranged Matt. I will message you.
  24. Halloween TPM meet we had the most intense and thrilling ride in its history at Thorpe Park, to then go on it a little later and have an absolutely abysmal cycle.
