  1. I would look at train times from gatwick and three bridges rather than Crawley, 3 bridges is the closest station
  2. The third train was used for parts, many reasons lead to this, but 3 train vampire is no more.
  3. Tbh, at this rate they might as well have closed Colossus for the season retracked and new trains with Intamin
  4. There is scaffolding up to that height so who knows ….
  5. Gas is now to expensive for 🔥 …. Have the tidal wave fences on the raised exit been replaced recently??
  6. Gruffalo was also removed from the event this year at the same time ?
  7. It would have been cheaper to buy it whilst at the event for next year though, bounce backs are the cheapest ticket option every year
  8. 3rd hand -Trawler trouble previously Weymouth and thorpe park temple of mayhem - millennium dome river rafts - weymouth
  9. RMT should have been a proper full size mine train coaster and not a mack powered coaster
  10. Darren SBNO after contract ends …. what ultimately can you do with the ride that will make it work or be suitable for people to want to ride… a train crash simulator???
  11. Could the sinking be an issue placing the track under extra stress as the train runs through , ultimately leading to cracking of the steel
  12. This is a fake account @Thorpe Pork not official 😂
  13. Adapt it for the future ?? New Airtime hill here in 2023 ….
  14. Colossus has currently had all the track along the inlines removed, possible reasons ? -support work -track repainting /replacement any ideas ?
  15. its true the structure required a lot of work along with modern evac platforms around the entire route, but once Thorpe closed it for so long they couldn't re-open it based on cost and the water ride water rules, if it hadn't closed it would have been fine but to reopen ot build a replacement water ride on the site needs a closed water system in place that is treated. Its not practical with the area for the water not to contaminate the lakes, the water from both lifts drain to the lakes, the water is pumped from the lakes etc
  16. Glad you had a good time overall, I likely loaded you onto your Hayride trailer yesterday!
  17. Would a retrack to a slightly different profile require full planning approval, IE retracked with Vekomas Junior suspended track/trains
  18. Sunday was very quiet tbh, I think we dropped to 3 trailers on Hayride by 10pm with most being walk on, expect it to get busier though.
  19. Enterprise was purchased of the fair circuit shortly after the fire and was directly by the dome/vortex. It wasn't advertised as a new ride until Zodiac was launched in 2001. Vortex was obviously also very late delivery (summer 2001) which may have been due to a last minute order ? Mr Rabbits did reopen after the fire, so it’s questionable if its removal was due to the fire, or just market changes
  20. If anything major was happening, there would be some sign of active work in the area I don't think that its likely at this point
  21. Tbh I still think Thorpe's top Mazes were the original/earlier years Asylum, hellgate, cabin/ original valentine . I haven't rated the more recent mazes, I have never had a good run on creek freak
