It now defeats the whole object of it being called Storm in a Teacup. It looks so bland and plain. Surely they could have just put the logo over the previous themed paintwork that didn't even look like it needed repainted.If you want to paint something TP then paint Colossus!

Yes Vortex's music did return in the end.

Interesting, it just came up on facebook! Never in a million years would I have thought that it would hit capacity on a zoo only day! First for everything I guess.

Probably because the theme park voucher which is missing Thorpe Park is a "kids go free" one and they don't want kids going to a park with little to do. CWOA, Legoland and Alton Towers are fine for kids.

They had a power surge ride in leciester Square over halloween/fireworks period. Quite a good ride. If it is going to be along the lines of it then I think it will be a great addition.

I have to second this as apart from the one month of downtime it had it has been very reliable and any breakdowns it did have were sorted quite rapidly.

I would still consider getting straight off then straight back on the same train a reride. This happened on the 17th Oct at 9:40pm. They opened the gate near the baggage area and allowed us back on as the queue was so short. (was short due to them forgetting to change the entrance sign from "Stealth is Currently Unavailable" due to an earlier breakdown). Got 6 goes in a row, which for me was a record number of rerides!

I agree It can be slow, It is more frustrating at busy times when there are loads of fasttrack people waiting and they fill up three rows of fasttrack leaving hardly any space from the normal queue.The ride was probably having zeroing/centreing problems which is why it took a minute faffing about before it could lower.

I remember it did this after the fright nights in 2008 for the last week of the year, but once the 2009 season began it was back to the 2007 loading theme. I hope it stays as I prefer it so much more.Edit: I found a video on youtube of it playing pre 2006 loading theme at this time just after fright nights in 2008 (Saw construction is in background).http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ghy7XN8z8k4

It is really funny to here the mixed reactions on this ride. It can be crap one day and then amazing another time. For me I have had mainly brilliant insane rides. I think for me it was crap just once this year (out of about 12 rides).When you say "a return of the loading music" do you mean the pre2006 theme below? http://media.musicofmerlin.com/thorpe/lostcity/samurai/samurai_loading06.mp3

I think it is "The call to Adventure" theme that they use at Market Square. See below.http://media.musicofmerlin.com/cwoa/cwoa_calltoadventure.mp3

Maybe they are going to turn it into a horror ride. Professor Burp: Rise from the Dead or something. If only!

When I went to Blackpool everybody was searched as standard at Pleasure Beach. I think it should be the same here, rather than the random searches.

For me Quantum is absolutely fine. I can handle practically any ride except for Zodiac (Enterprises). If I went on more than three times I would definately feel ill.

We have only had a couple of cold days over the last week or two. It seems to be actually quite mild for this time of year. For example London's max temp today is 16 degrees (tomorrow is supposed to be top temp of 18), which is much warmer than it should be this time of year.

Wow, that is brilliant. Works really well.
