Still haven't managed to make a meet as of yet, despite being around years! Can 100% make this, please put me down as attending.

Guess it's the usual situation of last few years of adding trains well into opening rather than before opening. So annoying!

New soundtrack playing on Dragon's Fury in queue and station, Spent hours thinking I'd already heard the song played somewhere and am sure this is it... Strange of the park to use a track from a game, but awesome track and works really well.

I booked mine online and was pretty straight forward. Europa don't do fast passes. Everyone is treated the same and has to queue which is a plus. Throughputs are high so you move through queues pretty quickly.

I don't like the new one so far either. On a plus, looking at a video on Towers Streets Facebook page the old (before 2008) Towers Street music will play in the area outside hex.

Until five years down the line when it's never been cut and is overgrowing and covering up all the building.

The areas are still a bit of mess as Samurai is slap bang in the middle of the so called old town and listed as Old Town but is clearly themed to Lost City. Then theres angry birds land splitting up Amity Cove, err sorry beach.

It is such a headache and wish they would just reprogram the system. Can't be that difficult as surely the speaker simply get assigned a zone. Hopefully Thorpe Park still read these forums and see how frustrating we all find it.

All closures must be permanent as they are not on the park map at all. Picture from Towersstreet Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/TowersStreet/photos/a.346943978709386.76261.345107215559729/1022674691136308/?type=3&theater

Good point! Doesn't help that most complain at the slightest of hiccups, yet when things go well they never bother saying anything! Ultimately many don't realise that the main purpose of AP days is to rehearse and use it as a training tool for new staff. Of course things won't be perfect.

The water Tower and queue line effects (flooding toilet, shower and sink) are working. Pics can be seen on TPM Facebook page

Lets just consider ourselves lucky they didn't decide to close the ride following the sonic sponsor removal! Would have been another ride closed! After all isn't Spinall another ride earmarked for removal/relocation as part of latest MTDP?

Oh dear. Lots of unhappy customers and negativity again for Chessington on social media. Seems to be long queues and lots of rides closed.

The park has been purchased by the Mellors Group. Press release here... http://www.fantasyisland.co.uk/exclusive-press-release/

Yes I remember this. Just staff wearing pig masks that would come up close in the queue. There was also a person in the rack by the stairs trying to escape from the trap.

Fishy! I don't see how he ends up on his side that quickly unless he literally laid over people as the ride started. Doesn't seem to be much backing this up around the web and also says this as an update on TPR's video. UPDATE! The report of the man standing could be erroneous as it may be a copy/paste typo from another ride accident. Reports at the moment are very sketchy and few and far between. Since this happened in China, a lot of the information has not been out yet. If you see any additional news or information about the accident, please post the links in the comments section. Thank you!

Am I the only one that likes the new logo??? I think it's much better than before. Actually looks Egyptian!!!!!

I thought for a split second it was just an old photo. But can see Swarm in background. Yay! Glad it's working again. Let's hope it's still working by the summer

Shame we aren't likely to ever see the blood waterfall again. They aren't allowed to use the dye as it was supposedly against environmental policies and was apparently seeping into local water courses.

Wow it really does look uneven. Anyone for Furious Baco 2?

Fifth and seventh actually

I loved the air theme, but loving the sound of this too, lets hope it plays loudly like the Smiler

Personally I don't think the admission price system helps. A park like dreamland would get more custom having a token and wristband system as it did in the past.
