  1. As a staff member at Thorpe Park, I'd be very careful as to what you say on here. If your caught by another staff member to be posting this information you do realise you will be dismissed.

    Do you know how it feels to play and have big decisions go against you like that, I've played in important games for my level and it was hard enough having the ref go against me then. I can fully understand the players frustration at the referee after such a big game and the poor decisions made and to be honest I'm surprised that he managed to leave the birdge last night in one piece. The referee, is the disgrace to football. And as for you, if you don't have anything constructive to say please don't bother posting at all.

    We played awful, pethetic football. But that is no excuse for the referee making countless stupid decisions throughout the game. I'm so pissed off but I just have to think that at the end of the day, they deserved it and we where not good enough. I was fully prepared to start booking my tickets to rome though I must admit.

    Should've put a few grand on that, then I wouldn't feel as awful as I do now.

    Bad Injuries!

    Lol it didn't bother me so much. I didn't realize till I looked on the USB stick and there was pieces of arm on it lol. Was actually more nearer a month ago now. I forgot why he even done it, funny though lol.

    My friend threw a USB stick at me last week and it got stuck in my arm momentarily, there is now a scar lol.. it was funny.

    Nothing major, the Rush accident last season. Sometimes minor things but nothing major of which can immediately be put down to the parks error.

    Th13teen

    I don't believe what he has to say. Unless it's been announced by the park, I wouldn't bother taking it with a pinch of salt.Edit : Had to laugh at this "We're not even sure who it was ourselves, but we can assure you it's a reliable source"
  12. Not entirely true really, last year Chessington got higher gate figures than Thorpe but still managed to have shorter queues. It can be for a number of reasons• Queues are managed better• Reliability is better• Less fastrack is sold• The park is bigger• The staff work harder on achieving higher hourly throughput's• Rides are run to their full capacityThese are all possibilities
  13. Maybe it's just me, but for some reason the publicity and visitor numbers for people going to Saw seems alot more than it was for Stealth?

    Rush

    It may be noticeable once you know about it, I'm sure the next time I visit I will realize now. I have never noticed it before and I have been on it most likely in excess of 100 times.

    Rush

    You can't look at them both and say "that one swings higher than the other". And also, I should very well hope they weren't making vertical.

    Rush

    None of them swing lower. Rush was having problems when on both swings however and they struggled to make it past half way towards the full swing height.
  17. You say that, but you then go on to say how the queue times where ridiculously long. The younger staff do not 'rush' they are doing a good job in reducing the queue times to make your life easier. They do check that the restraints are secured and fastened but do it quickly, big difference.
  18. I think it just fell down , that's why the ride shutdown and why the effect is no longer there.
  19. It is good but I would not bother sending it to Thorpe Park, they have paid professionals who produce high quality graphics to use as their posters etc. Also, the logo colour looks a bit silly, make that darker and it will look better.
  20. I find that more understandtable that what Skunky has said though, if I was good mates with a girl and then she said she liked me I would find it difficult to be friends with them after.I agree with Skunky, alot of people from my old workplace used to be the same.
  21. Single express shot tickets are also available for £3 where you can choose one ride to go on!
  22. Dragons Fury : 80 MinutesVampire : 60 MinutesTiny Truckers : 35 MinutesDragons Falls : 20 MinutesRameses Revenge : 10 MinutesTomb Blaster : 20 MinutesRunaway Train 30 MinutesRattlesnake : 30 MinutesSafari Skyway : 20 Minutes--Thats what I would guess at if the weather tomorrow is average. Go to Thorpe Park... don't bother with Chessington they are not WORTH the TIME.
  23. The queueline for Rameses Revenge rarely exceeds 10 minutes at present, but I expect it to maybe reach 30 in the peak of the summer , possibly longer. Rattlesnake can roughly peak at 60 minutes but the whole queue line is capable of holding a lot longer. Vampire is currently running 3 trains and therefore even with a full queueline the longest wait should be around 75 mins, Dragons Fury queue time exceeded an hour today.
  24. Have had 2 near death experiences on the 950, they overfill it far too much, deffinately a severe breach of h+s when so many people are piled in that the doors are forced open whilst on a main road.
