    Apologies for the double post, but cannot get over how insane this was nearly two weeks ago, compared to Tuesday. Literally had two full turns around the top and then lowered again! This means in the space of a fortnight I have had both my best ride ever and worst ride ever! Talk about inconsistent!
  2. I love how this still look luxurious compared to the Stargazing Pods, and these Premier Inn ones are actually cheap to stay in!
  3. I still can't get my head around how good Samurai was on Saturday. For a nearly 20 years old ride it was back at its best (after years of awfulness) So no please no replacement for now!
  4. Worth a mention actually, it sounded a lot better around Tidal Wave and Stealth plaza. Only thing left to sort out now is the third or so queueline speakers for stealth that are not working (and cranking the volume up slightly in the queue)
  5. I heard the director in pizza pasta for certain. Not sure where else I heard it.
  6. Great summary of what we experienced. It was so bad it became absolutely hilarious, and as you said, then the highlight of the day.

    This ride was insane yesterday. Yeah not quite as insane as the travelling fair versions, but it was probably the fastest and most intense I think I have ever seen it since its Chessington days. Many of the group yesterday also agreed. Incredible! Would love to have known what setting it was?
  8. Great to see the mist still working so well. This ride is seriously ageing well and had a fantastic ride on it last night. I may be hated for this, but do in fact prefer it to the original Nemesis now!
  9. It was horrendous at times but we still got on most of what we wanted. By 9pm some of the mazes queues were down to around 20 mins to 40 mins. We queued for both Do or Die and Dead Creek Woods during this time. The rides and maze teams were not too bad at getting through crowds as quick as possible yesterday. What was unacceptable was the up to hour and half security queue (complaints plaguing social media) and the fact that despite leaving at 1020 some of us still sitting in a long, congested car park queue gone 1130pm at night!
  10. Rumour has it Thorpe Park knew they were thinking of removing it, were about to contact them to purchase it as a replacement for Rumba for 2019 and then they went and freaking removed it.
  11. Was a fantastic day, apart from the up to one and half hour entry AND exit time it took some of us. Thanks to everyone who came. Highlight of the day certainly has to be Vulcan Peak.
  12. We are waiting for you in the dome by the big top showtime stage
  13. Reminder! Just a reminder!
  14. Great. We are about to queue for walking dead ride.
  15. Anyone else arrives please PM and we will arrange to meet when we can.
  16. Hilarious thing is we are experiencing weather in early to mid twentys which will make people want to ride water rides!
  17. Was working prior to now, not sure why but Ringo has posted a copy anyway.
  18. Great news That must mean TallGuyDom is also attending then! Have also added you both to attending
  19. https://idoxpa.westminster.gov.uk/online-applications/files/D7FAB45DB6699821A67D8A86B04A8500/pdf/18_04689_FULL-PROPOSED_EVENT_MAP-5476542.pdf Site plan map for this years event ^
  20. One week to go until the meet: Reminder of the plan: 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) I will be actively on my phone during the morning aspect of the trip so if people need to make contact for whatever reason they can either PM through the forum or just PM me your number prior to the trip. Finally it's not too late to join and if your plans have changed and you are no longer coming, but you're listed as attending please do let me know. Thanks, Matt
  21. Am I the only person glad that these prices are that expensive??? Might actually lead to not having too many of them being sold. Everyone complained last year when the main queues moved painfully slow due to oversold FT. At the TPM meet we queued 45 mins at least to get on platform 15 using a priority ticket as so many had fast track tickets!
  22. So the latest post on social media regarding the "annual pass preview" has caused a few issues with this offer of inviting friends along for £15 and them pointing out they may be able to use the mazes. Pretty much makes it no longer an annual pass holders preview for mazes. ?? ☠️?ANNUAL PASSHOLDERS?☠️ Reminder – this Saturday (29/09) is your FRIGHT NIGHTS preview event where you'll be the first to scream your way through a selection of our mazes from 3-8PM. PLUS - bring a mate along for 10 hours of adrenaline fuelled coaster action 'til 8PM FOR JUST £15! And who knows, there might even be a chance for them to join you as you take on our terrifying new FRIGHT NIGHTS mazes... Keep your eyes peeled on the day for the chance to treat your mate to this exclusive sneak peek! Book online now: http://thorpe.fun/W6xgp
  23. Blimey! Was expecting you to be upset it isn't IMAScore! ?
  24. Prices are usually based on how many have been sold. As more are sold the price increases.
