I'm sure I saw this going when I came off of Samurai at 5:55pm, they must have got it up and running pretty quick.

Roughly todays (6/04/10) Queue times,Colossus said 40 mins (but was over an hour)Nemesis Inferno 60 minsSaw The Ride 80 mins (although we got on in 60 minutes with an almost full queue)Stealth ranged from 60- 80 minsVortex 40 minutesLoggers Leap 30 - 45 minutesRumba Rapids 30 - 40 minutesX No way out 20 minutes (only saw this early on in day)Samurai 45 minutes (20 minutes after 4:30 - 5ish)Rush 30 minutesSlammer 30 minutesZodiac 20 minutesQuantum 10 - 25 minutesDetonator said 50 minutes I think but a friend got on in 20 minutesDepth Charge 30 minutes (looked longer)etcHope some of that helps.

Interestingly I was on park all day and only managed to see Rush and Saw break down. I guess I went to the right rides at the right times. Both seemed to be back up and running quite fast though (not saying it is acceptable). Teacups was also closed around 4pm but there seemed to be a guy cleaning so maybe someone was sick.The park was very busy and I 100% agree with you about the fastrack, especially outside Colossus they were trying to grab you to sell them. The queues moved ridiculously slow and my group that foolishly bought fasttrack for Colossus still queued 20 minutes. Nemesis Inferno's queue was moving extremely slowly as so many had fasttrack (and staff were very slow at times loading the trains. Saw many people queue jumping as well with not much being done, just the odd announcement here and there.Atmosphere wasn't the best today either with Music for most rides quite low. BTW has Colossus been playing Queueline theme in the station all season??? But was nice to see some effects fixed such as the mist on Nemesis Inferno, the Colossus fountain etc. Nearly walked into a wall in the dome toilets as they have moved the door!!!Had first go on Saw Alive today and didn't think it was that great, wouldn't bother again unless others that haven't been on it really want to go on it.Ride Count:X:\\ No Way Out x1Rush x1Quantum x1Nemesis Inferno x1Saw Alive x1Saw: The Ride x1Loggers Leap x1Colossus x1Samurai x1Rumba Rapids x1Quantum seemed faster for some reason, have the settings been changed?Quite disappointing at just 10 rides when I was there all day.

Nope, I don't like the idea of this. It is not a fairground, it is a Theme Park. I would want the normal theme music back, or at least play it on the bridge.

I'm glad someone mentioned the pain in the feet because I often get it if I get up too quickly and none of my friends understand what I am going on about!

Yep it is definately there and is nothing to do with Thorpe Park. I work in a school and have seen it mentioned as Thorpe Park and used in a science video about friction.

The track changed back for 2008 season to the original (2006 and before with the dadadadada bit). It was just 2007 it was changed with the slow start of Colossus theme playing as the second half. So technically apart from the announcements it is now unchanged from what it was. Just a shame it doesn't play in queue as well anymore.
