Even if it is due to syrup running out that's still unacceptable considering its whats supposed to be one of the busiest weekends at the park. Even more worrying the park has been extremely quiet compared to other parks and they still ran out. Not good in my view!

I think this is completely unacceptable, making others suffer as they ran out of capsules. They really should not have shut them completely. I am sure there will be a few complaints (already a couple on twitter)

That's outrageous! I bought it for the sole reason that I would be able to purchase the refill fee every visit. Its an insult that because they have sold out of cups the rest of their customers have to suffer. Surely a sign saying new capsules have sold out and sorry for the inconvenience would have been a better decision.

It looks like it is going to be a popular ride, looking forward to giving it a go in the summer. Here is a video of it testing and going over the top (FB page). Looks intense!

You can run the subgroup of people who want to do it! ?

In fairness this was probably my first morning ride in about the same timescale so could well be that same reason. I've only ever usually ridden it in the mid to late afternoon.

It felt to me and my group on Sunday as if the ride was doing far more high swings than it has ever done making the ride last longer. Maybe it's been reprogrammed. Any ideas anyone?

For the price of a day ticket, it makes it still insanely good value and so am not surprised it doesn't come with added perks.

Great idea! Only as long as it's just as forceful!

Isn't this essentially a post that could go in "Your Thorpe Park"? And what is with this constant "Planet Snoopy" that keeps appearing? As much as i'd like the park to be owned by Cedar Fair, it isn't.

Absolutely in comparison to recent years! But still a huge amount of stuff going on. Just shows the amount of work and passion that goes into this place.

Thanks for the updates Josh, this ride is looking incredible and loving the logo. Can't wait to get out there to try it in the future.

I'm happy to take digs, a forum is for discussion after all and not sure how me being a meet organiser has anything to do with the comments I made, I'd have made the same comment whether a meet organiser or not, so completely irrelevant. I would certainly never consider myself "important" either, I am nearly 30 years old not a child! If it is coming to the end of it's life then a shame, one of the best ship rides out there! Many fond memories from over the years.

Still defending Merlin haha! I'm sorry but it's far too long for a swinging ship! Yes of course, obviously! The whole thing was more of a dig at Merlin!

Black Buccanneer is still awaiting its supports being put in and meanwhile at Adventure Island less than a day after it started being put in...

Oooo! Looks exciting!

It's essentially what they posted on social media.

Yet Thorpe Park Social Media said it would be ready for the main opening day, they were highly ambitious!

Agreed! Far more of an investment compared to X in 2013...

Yep! I can't believe he told me to get someone else! Madness! And that bbq sauce is AWFUL compared to what was used before.

If people want to yes! I will take this as confirmation of your attendance for now

Haha. Good idea. Maybe I should post and say I'm attending as well ?

Really? Our boat found it to be far more enjoyable and a couple got a soaking. I'm sure some of the pipes have been moved as well as there seemed to be one or two different rapid sections. As well as that the wave machine seemed slightly more aggressive as well. The paint work around the ride though, that's another story.

You were already on the list ???
