  1. This topic has filled me with rage. For starters, Stealth running one train with 10 minute queue means that the time it take to fill one train and go round back into station gives them a bit extra time form a short queue, then you put two trains on then theres a constant flow of people so the queue would struggle to get any form of queue. Just think Stealth 20 people every 40/50 or so seconds making a 10 minute queue with approx 100 people about 2/3 minutes (obvisouly the inflow into queue is varied so will decrease dramatically to less then half of that in seconds). or one train a less constant flow with a short queue where you can garentee full trains significantly reducing the chances of a rollback. Its common knowledge for Stealth. I happened to be in the back today and everytime I gandered to Stealth the queue was only at the bottom of the staires! Even on one train thats not even a 5 minute queue. Right next, Nemesis Inferno, I queued no more then 15 minutes today, on one train as it was. Put two trains on and you struggle to reach a 5 minute queue at any point. why bother wasting hundreds of pounds sending empty trains? I'm sure if you were in the parks position who are only out their to make money you would do the same! why waste money that you want?Again Colossus queued from just outside the building, with two trains thats like me riding alone. Understandibly I wouldnt but as an example.Saw was running 8 cars I believe today with about a 5/10 minute queue, understable with its high throughputs due to the constant inflow and outflow of guests. however even if it was on 6 or 7 cars the queue wouldnt trek beyond 20 minutes. XNWO, though now seemingly inaccessible you can access it but presumably with its walkon today I think it was only running 3 or 4 trains. And the moral of story is, Thorpe are being smart and are not being reckless when they do not need to be.
  2. I;d be very worried for my safety if those large reinforced steel cables were hosepipes.

    it wasn't worded that badly I only extended what you said
  5. I only call people stupid when nessessary.
  6. You said support groups are wrong. Dude just because your not gay you shouldnt be stupid enough to realise people like me need support to come out of the closet, probably one of the toughest challenges I've ever had to endure.

    If you had the slightest bit of knowledge I kindly backed you up when you said we don't know what type of coaster is.
  8. Not really, the only people who need to know are the guests in the park and if they see it advertised whilst queueing at admissions they know. I'm sure my mum doesnt need to know as she has no plans to go in the forseeable future.

    + even if we DID know it was B&M, that still doesnt deny the fact this other person was talking about a completely different year.
  10. Josh your comments are offensive. It's people like YOU who need to go back to school and learn that its a gynetic reason I prefere same sex relations. Jesus. You don't just wake up one morning and say right I want cock or I want vagina. It's absolutley revolting some peoples views.
  11. I've seen a few rides on their website, I think they only really advertise closed rides at the entrance of the park
  12. I went up on Wednesday, it was truely brilliant, the rides were superb. Not sure why people say its horrible up there.. yeh it looks disgusting but that doesnt take the xperience away from the rides
  13. Just to let you all know Tidal Wave reopened today. Work continues on Slammer and looks in good shape to be open before Fright Nights.

    I'm struggling to see how people being sick on Stealth and Nemesis Inferno have relevance to X No Way Out.
  15. Random yesterday it didnt make it past a 20 minute queue, though it was on two trains but that would only make it a 40/45 minute queue

    Slammer

    Yesterday half of the arm nearest the entrance was gone, however from what ive heard about all of the arm gone a few days prior it is indeed being put back.
  17. A few!? gawd it was shut for AGES.
  18. Samurai is connect to Lost city, if the theme finishes and a new one started the area theme (Lost City theme) will play. Could of been that.
  19. This is partly true and partly false, SAW Alive wasnt closed most of the day, it was having power issues, I was in fact evacuated after being the second group in after it opened after an hour. Stealth was indeed being a bit of a b****! Detonator, spent more time stuck at the top then at the bottom! Also Amity side of Project link has gone back to crackles

    SAW: Alive

    The axes dont move for health and safety reasons....Billy doesnt have hair because of vandalism...
  21. That is correct, SAW's lift hill is slightly different and has what is known as a dog that comes up behind the train and pulls it up. The car itself doesnt not attach to the chain like Colossus and Nemesis InfernoBTW if anyone is interested in the manufacturing of Gerstlauers look here, I was interested http://www.coastersandmore.de/rides/typhoon/fertigungeng.shtml
  22. THORPE PARK will endevour to have all rides and attractions available.
