Sorry if I didn't make sense or have confused people. I am good at that When I said it hadn't played since 2010 I was refering to the "end of the day" music playing in the lower dome all day long. Since 2010 throughout the day it plays chart music whereas before it used to play the 3:15 section all day in the lower dome/toilets area. Once the end of the day comes it plays park wide including in the lower dome. I only asked if the overall end of day theme had been abolished in an earlier post as on all of my visits in 2012 except for one in April, the end of day theme failed to play.

The lower dome music was a part of the end of day track although this hasn't played in lower dome since 2010. The Park has played chart music in the lower dome/toilets for the last two seasons. For some reason the theme isn't on TPM anymore but here is a link to one on youtube, although this is about 4 mins short and misses the more upbeat piano section at the end. The part that used to play in lower dome was the part from approx 3 min - 7 mins. It definitely suited the toilets with the sound of all that flowing water

Those people really sound like morons that just don't have a clue.

Does anyone know roughly what their capacity actually is during Zoo only Days?

The only thing they are good for is watching the riders get a soaking. More people watch them than ride them.

I guess I Must have just been unfortunate on all my visits then. I really hope they sort out some of the stuff you have mentioned too. Cant see Vortex returning. Thorpe said they changed it to chart music as it was what the public wanted (see Thorpe Park Questions topic). I do also hope that Colossus sounds normal this year and yes would be nice to hear the theme on the bridge again rather than just the queue. It was awful queuing for Saw with nothing playing so also hope that has been sorted. Another thing I wish is for them to return to the old Cananda Creek loop. The songs used were classics and much more country sounding plus just created a better atmosphere. The current playlist is just awful and most songs don't fit with the theme of the area.

Well good news then. Samurai loading theme, old Slammer and old detonator all returned after fright nights 2011 and played throughout whole of 2012. So some of your requests have already been met Although apparently on some days at the end of the day the entrance theme played instead of the end of day music. I didn't personally hear this though. In fact on all of my visits in 2012 there wasn't even any end of day change to music. Just went silent in ride areas and chart music continued to play in dome and entrance area. Anyone know if they abolished end of day music too??

Shocking that the second train waits in the break run. I saw this many a time last year. At one stage when three trains ran you had 40 seconds (I think) between dispatches and now they cant even dispatch it in 3 minutes. There was a sign mentioning you needed to be seated extremely quickly. I think it doesn't help that the train stops two or three times as it enters the station wasting time. Has done this ever since the new trains were put on. If a train dispatches every 3 mins the ride has a shocking throughput of 480 people per hour. There is no surprise the queue moves painfully slow with a low capacity and fasttrack.

It is clearly shown in the video the person clinging on to the OTSR.

I think Bubbles 1 was possibly referring to the comment made in the post before by Benin about the Huracan ride in Belgium being the best themed ride of 2013. But still agree Bubbles1 should wait until construction has finished.

I have emailed them before and have mostly had a response answering my questions, but just like you I have heard of many that get no or off topic responses. That is why I said " they probably won't say".

They probably won't say but I have emailed them asking if it was a mistake or not.

Although this is good I never understand why Thorpe Park change things so often. Didn't they change it to 9pm as to save money as the last hour is often quiet, and now they go the opposite and open later than before?!?!? The ideas and changes often seem so random.

I must be the only one to disagree reading all the negative comments about Pizza Hut at TP. I always find the pizzas better here than any of the three local Pizza Huts near me. I often visit the buffets in school holidays as I work in a school and often they are dry and lack in toppings. Maybe I have just caught Thorpe Park Pizza Hut on good days, but I think only about 2 out of 20ish visits have be dire in Pizza Hut.

Usually it is a fault with the pump or as an operator on Tidal Wave once told me it can be because the level in the lake/water pool is too low and the pump/pipe isn't reaching the water. I think this happens a lot on Tidal Wave when there has been a lack of rain.

"New" spinning Coaster at Pleasure Beach Great Yarmouth. Has a rather odd name. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=534356246584494&set=pb.132084983478291.-2207520000.1360016426&type=3&theater

Very nice. Lets hope it lasts longer, they say they are using a better quality paint. Colossus can get away with looking old and run down, after all it themed to an old ancient lost city. The only thing I hate is the large amount of rust all over the ride which makes it look worse

Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach have responded to a comment about the new ride for this year and they have responded saying it is a spinning Coaster and when the person has asked if it is Whirlwind they have said no. http://www.facebook.com/funandthrills?fref=ts I reckon it will end up being a bog standard Reverchon Spinning Wild Mouse ride.

Always the most unpopular to ride, but I must say it is almost certainly the most popular for spectators. Always huge crowds in front of them.

If that is the case, really surprised its still there TBH, would have thought they would have changed to their own Pizza/Pasta even before Alton and Chessington. I guess it could depend how long the deal was originally with Pizza Hut/Thorpe Park, as Thorpe got Pizza Hut much later than Alton Towers and Chessington originally did.

Really shocked that they have gone for a brand new one. There was nothing wrong with the old/current one. Maybe they will use it in their next dungeons so it didn't bother them purchasing a brand new one. Will definitely avoid disruption of closing the current one early to move it I guess.

Pretty sure the trees will stay as I can't see them putting sheets over them if they were going to be removed.
