New restaurant in mexicana opening soon... Tortilla

There is a switch in the console that turns them on and off, likely they weren't switched on or the operator switched them off

The ride cant seem to lift much weight these days.... ( I'm not saying your big lol) more that any elephant with an adult doesn’t go full height

Went today, everything was pretty much walk on to 5mins. Overall operations were pretty good, only shutdowns noticed was Croc Drop, the modified tiny truckers was back down to 4 car train. Food was poor on park with some units/ restaurants being weekend/ peak days only

Wiki definition of Samurai: 1: a type of awsome warrior 2: a ride at Thorpe park that likes to play a game with Jigsaw, but often looses.

What happened lol boat mounting boat ?

There is no easy answer other than everyone gets the same virtual queues.... and we all know how successful version 1 was ....

Food luck to anyone at Thorpe today .... low temperatures and half a day of snow on forecast

TBH if the gas ball was rotting so badly it was probably a risk of rusty metal fragments getting in the water / splash down which could have lead to injurys. Or collapsing all together. Whilst I wish it was like for like replacement I'm sure the budget wasn't what it needed to be to facilitate

The new boats on the rapids are a good move given the history there. Wouldn't be surprised if others didn't follow suit..

Is the area at the back of the bbq tent still unused? or dismantle that S&S SBNO and you have a nice area

Loosing the old addmissions huts ruined the look and feel of the area along with the amount of staff processing on the day customers aside from the fencing, security would/could have been much better placed.

Or they could carry on a relationship with the fair industry as we all know fair rides can be well themed if the budgets there... winter wonderland says hello... Different flat rides in the park every year keeps the lineup fresh etc

It was filmed in 1999 so the wild mouse was https://rcdb.com/872.htm not sure if this featured in the video https://rcdb.com/2690.htm The ladybird coaster/apple coaster listed on RCDB all show they closed before 1999, so who knows with that.

S&S screaming swing in the valley with silencers on air valves

Detonator was I think granted temporary planning permission, but was later resubmitted to keep it permanently

Will be interesting to see if Alton are operating and maintaining themselves or if they have hired with staff provided. All in all the ripsaw site is back in use, will be interesting to see where they put the dodgems and waltzer.

Half of Samurai is missing too ...... however Colossus has a train on the track

We were booked for Towers and Blackpool for the start of April, now being rebooked again....

Its basically a 32 seater booster lol .... park model

Its better than nothing...
