  1. It's actually Saw music, called Baptism, by Charlie Clouser, I'm sure I've heard this play around the park in previous years, not just at loggers leap.
  2. Would say Vampire, but also went on the looping star at dreamland which was scarier so probably have to say that.
  3. Blizzard was £11 when I went last year!!!
  4. Olympia looping awesome, especially at the back. such a shame that it uses those OTSRs as it would be even more awesome. Can confirm it costs £9.
  5. Inferno has got better as the years have gone by, I have grown to like it and its actually my favourite coaster at Thorpe now. Of course Nemesis still wins out of the two though.
  6. Nope. It uses a standard looking coaster train and follows a mostly flat coaster style track with drive wheels. It's a brand new ride rather than a retheme.
  7. Tokens (they are actually paper receipts)
  8. Yep the water Tower, signage and queue effects worked most of this year. In terms of effects they have tried harder this year. I've also seen more consistent days of mist working on Inferno and Smoke on Stealths launch. It all makes such a difference to the day out.
  9. It hasn't been used in about 6/7 years. They brought it back for Swarms opening day and then a few years later they got everyone's hopes up when the screen was added saying it was being brought back but instead it only used a snippet of it and the Thorpe theme (Quantum) playing overkill between the sections. Most of this year it has been silent.
  10. Shocks me year after year that at the start of the season the condition of the fences, ride signage, weeds etc are the same as before. if family run theme parks like Paultons and BPB can keep these things looking fresh I don't understand how Merlin doesn't.

  19. Now it is the closed season may as well revive this thread. What changes do everyone think we will see made over the closed season? Also, I have started a topic with the Thorpe Park Ride Game 2016 in the nonsense sub forum.
  20. Closed season is upon us yet again so it's time for the annual ride game yet again (last year's seems like yesterday). Same rules as previous years apply: +1 and -1 each turn. Before you can take another turn, you must wait for three other people to take a turn. Once a ride hits 0 points, it is REMOVED from the list. All other ride scores are RESET to 5. It will use the same list as last year but with Derren Brown's Ghost Train added and Loggers Leap removed. I will start us off by adding a point to Slammer and removing a point from Storm Surge.

  21. Agree with you fully, even your bit in small print! Entrance/bridge, full entrance theme, dome chart music.
  22. Hopefully the end of day loop playing is the start of it playing at the end of every day next season. Miss hearing that blasting out over the entire park at the end of the day, really set up for a calm atmosphere leaving the park,
  23. Nice to see them working and great to see further improvements being made, but hope they are on mute next season if they decide to use them, it used to really interfere with the soundtracks when they used to get used and music such as adagio for strings kept blasting out of them meaning the soundtracks couldn't be used.
  24. The ride has had a brilliant season in the grand scheme of things. Plus many other rides have had more downtime than slammer this year.
  25. It was the same during Sunday. one member of staff had been alone doing the batching and all restraints on Samurai the entire day. she was clearly stressed out but still kept a smile and had a brief chat with us.
