Rumba Rapids
I love the ride! . It is a great water ride, and I expecially love the tunnel part with the purple fountain! I also love the view of Stealth after exiting the tunnel. Does anyone know what I am referring to when I say that I love the sound effects in the tunnel, the sort of popping and strange whistle noises? I love them and everytime I hear anything similar, I think of Rumba Rapids!And no, I havn't seen the queueline this year. I will take a look soon.

Stealth
I am going tomorrow. I am going to be a true optimist and hope to ride Stealth and Slammer tomorrow , but judging by previous posts, it looks like they won't open until at least Saturday. Oh well, one can hope. . Also, does anyone know what is going on with Loggers Leap at the moment? I saw a couple of days ago that it was filling up with water, but I havn't seen anything since. I hope it opens soon, makes a great addition to the ride line-up.

Thorpe Park Merchandise
I can totally see your point. Everything is over-priced, but hey. What can we do?

Thorpe Park Merchandise
Don't think so. You would have to ask someone with an AP to find out.

Thorpe Park Merchandise
I know they're not actually merchandise, but I am a great fan of the "Unlimited Re-fills for £4.99" cup deal. I always get it and share between 2 people, which saves so much money! We usually re-fill it around 8 times in a day . Plus the cup is a nice memory to keep.

Samurai
I must be the only one here on the forum when I say that I actually love the current colour scheme! I think it's great.

Port Aventura
The runaway train is called El Diablo. I love Furious Baco, great ride .

I don't mind the occasional spelling or gramatical error, but when you find posts with a spelling or grammar mistake in every other word is can get quite irritating. There is a spellchecker now built to use just before you post .

SAW: The Ride
I suppose so, I think maybe 10 minutes. But for everything else in the park, walk-ons would be fab. .
-
SAW: The Ride
Wow. So from that I guess the queues were mostly just walk-ons to around 10 minutes.

Rush
I think the more times you ride it, the more fun and the less scary it becomes.

SAW: The Ride
Oh ok. Still, it would have been great to have the camera half way down the first (main) drop.
-
SAW: The Ride
I suppose it would have been too difficult to have a camera positioned vertically, half way down the first drop.

SAW: The Ride
I always try to look at the camera on any ride but I always forget. Especially on Stealth .

Closed Rides
Good. Hopefully Logger's Leap will be back up and running soon. I know it's not a thrill ride but I love it and a visit to Thorpe Park isn't complete without a ride on it .
-
Rush
It's a great sensation actually. To be honest, at first I didn't want to go on it because I hate the feeling of swinging that you get on Mr Monkeys Banana Ride, but very surprisingingly, you don't feel that on Rush at all. I suppose it must be because its a powered swing, and not just a free-fall one. Anyway, you must give it a try.... it doesn't make your stomach go at all, (well it doesn't mine anyway). It is nothing to fear, it is just great fun!

Closed Rides
Tidal Wave is back up and running . I can still see Slammer on that unavailable rides list , to be honest I don't really want to visit again until Slammer & Stealth are both fixed, I love them so much and havn't ridden either of them for ages .
-
Rush
That is exactly what I find with Rush. I don't find it scary at all, just pure fun! It's exactly the same as Nemesis Inferno for me.

Closed Rides
I don't think that would be possible. The cars are not "attached" as such in the main body of the ride, but they are more so on the drop than anywhere else. Despite this, I know that Thorpe Park do try to spread out people in each log, as to avoid possible problems like this?
-
SAW: The Ride
I am not entirely sure, but judging by the on-ride photos that I have seen, it looks like the camera is on the main drop, somewhere near the saws at the bottom.
-
SAW: The Ride
I shouldn't think it will be much longer than 30 minutes. Don't take my word for it though, many people might have the same idea as you and visit again to make up for the previous weekend.
