Tbh, it is backwards to bring back an old maze unless its to celebrate the anniversary of fright nights with a remake of one of the original mazes !

the main arm looks way too thin in design. article on the accident below https://www.google.com/amp/s/metro.co.uk/2019/06/29/woman-19-dies-theme-park-ride-breaks-apart-mid-air-10090021/amp/

I nearly included a comment about over riding an error, but its actually not funny

Gatekeeper stalled yesterday in strong winds https://www.ajc.com/news/national/cedar-point-coaster-gets-stuck-mid-ride/J7ZTQYmGEjHKtSFiUfdsiN/

Sorry SBNO, Thorpe wont remove a ride unless they need to

Tbh I was expecting ‘more’ from Thorpe than this. More like its a knockout style inflatables, they look well quite ...... cheap

We were there last Sunday, and train 2 was running empty for half the day, then 2 were being loaded in afternoon all seemed fine

Quantum needed a new made to order gearbox I believe in 2007, the delay was beyond the parks control as the lead time for the part was over 6momths.

We were told It wasn't serving food when we went... on the may bank holiday weekend. We were told it was down to staff shortages.

Tbh weve lost the pulled meat company which tbh was one of the better in house options, the BBQ, fins no longer serves lunch..... so pizza/pasta mexican by rumba. Kfc/bk or hotdogs and kebabs.... oh wait doughnuts...... There are multiple empty units across the park, and the options are worse than 15 years ago... #progress

Wonder if these said may day events actually happened at the park or if it was all fictional .....

So basically there is a possibility of merlin are buying it to retrack Colossus and fit new trains haha (obviously unlikely given its merlin)

Anyone know the make of this coaster ??

Its were dragons claw used to be if that helps, opposite side to rage

You only have to look at how many drop towers are not actually free fall .....

You forget to include the redevelopment of the ghost train site .....

Agreed an inspiring advert in its delivery vs being shouted at for 30 seconds

Start of every season the dirty/rusty water comes back for a while whilst it clears.

Does anyone actually know what came of the ride ??

The barge has been in the same sinking condition for a decade (even when by vortex)the front is all split open and was supported. Honestly the Thorpe belle was a 2 level venue that could have been utilised better for a scare attraction/attractions (one mega maze or 2 smaller ones.

It was optional via a seperate queue last year, just cost to much for extra staff running costs and slowing everything else down

Depends how its been sold to said purchaser, if its a heavily discounted rate per head vs mid season for effectively a preview/Beta day

Whats actually scarier is that we had 4 coasters in 10 years.... now we have had 1 in ten years..... sums up the investment and overall feel of the park of late
