Personally I think Oblivion's drop is more forceful and fun than any other's I've been on (including Sheikra) which makes it my favourite drop ever. I agree with others saying about saws drop being for show and that if you can do saw you can do Oblivion

Neither to be honest but if I had to it would be a tattooUniversal or Disney

FacebookSimpsons or Futurama

I do think Spinball "spins" more but I prefer Dragon's Fury.I think it's probably because Spinball's a lot more compact although that may have nothing to do with it.

DolphinsStealth or Rita ?

TTDExtensively themed ride with not so great roller coaster or poorly themed ride with awesome coaster ?

So we've all had the long old conversation about the TV show , but now , who's going to the Live tour! ? I might be but depends if I can afford it ! Your thoughts ?

I agree with Bubbly that Revenge of the Mummy is amazingly themed. If you think Saw is well themed, you haven't seen anything till you've seen that.

I think if I could choose any park to go to I would choose Cedar Point, Just Wow, It looks so amazing

I love Spinball but Dragon's Fury eats it up for breakfast, In terms of length, thrill, just everything to be honest . By the way , does Dragon's Fury have a better throughput than Spinball? As it's Que seems to move alot faster.

I think that's because, unlike Thorpe, breakdowns are relatively uncommon. Although saying that this year hasn't been great, especially compared to other years.

Ah right, probably not then I just want something in that tent! Well actually not anything I will be so annoyed if it's a 3D cinema or something like that.

I love that noise!Also, Colossus' RoarColossus' noise when it detaches from the chain at the top Detonator when it hits the brakes at the bottomColossus,Nemesis Inferno and Stealth when they hit the brakesAs someone else said earlier Tidal Wave's sound when going down the drop, along with Logger's Leap'sHundreds more probably but can't think of them all. Also a bit off topic but anyone else find Rush's whoosh-ing noise really annoying while que'ing? I Like it from a spectators point of view or on ride , but while queing it's so loud. Completely destroys any conversation being had. ( Love Rush itself though )

SW6 ( The one in Ug land) is confirmed to be Intamin , Although isn't there supposed to be a new coaster going in the Black Hole tent? Maybe that's a B&M ?

Actually , I think your right, maybe I was just so shocked to see a little effect like that working at Thorpe, really does make a big difference. Not been on Nemesis Inferno since the effects have been fixed but I'm sure it probably makes that whole area of Calypso Quay better

That looks amazing. And I'm not exactly the biggest fan of Nemesis Inferno. Looks like an effect, maybe even the likes of Disney or Universal would have.

I've got a light spray before, it's a great effect... when it's working. As Professor X said before, it's rare to even see it.

MCBR stands for Mid-course-break run

That's an amzing ride count !and whats this about Samurai getting new settings?

Thanks for that, reminds me of the Legoland entry music if I remember right? I think I prefered the old Towers street music

Does it take Thorpe to be absolutely jam packed for them to put it on 3 boats? Or is it just me Was just thinking I didn't even know all 3 boats could be put on at once, always thought it would be a good idea and that they would have done it if it was safe as at times, when I've qued ages for it in the summer, it's still not been on 3 boats!

Yea , there were times when it was pointless, for example it wasn't very well advertised you needed a wristband to use single rider, and countless times people would have been in the que for Nemesis Inferno and have to go all the way back to guest services to get one. I know it's Thorpe and it's not THAT far away, but it's would still be an unhelpful hiccup in your day

Defiantly, I haven't seen it down once to be honest. And even better than it's improved reliability, is it's now longer . The past few times I've been on I've thought thats the last full swing , wait no that's the last full swing, oh no maybe this is the last full swing .

Yea you used to have to go to guest services for a single rider wristband if I remember correctly. To prevent the single rider que's becoming as long as the main que. I was told they gave out a certain number every hour or so. Worked very well

Ah thanks for pointing that out Mark , I only started my interest in theme parks and stuff in 2003 , hence why I only remembered Tussauds "laziness" if you know what I mean
