Stealth
RIP Stealth, Adam and I had the last tide on you, ever. Adam and I had a good time and that's all that matters. It's just a mystery where that Amity Kebab got to, I swear I had it before we went on....

Stealth
Awesome stuff by the Stealth staff last night - Adam and I got on at about 10:50pm - had two rides, and then went back on to the platform as we decided to go for a 3rd ride, which was announced to be the last of the day... the train however wouldn't move from the offload platform, and they announced there was a fault. Fully expected them to just not let us ride, which would've been cool - but they got an engineer over and fixed it, and we rode just after 11pm Fab stuff Thorpe - all part of an awesome day yesterday!

Or that bloody mechanical monkey used in a teaser!

Stealth
Stealth opened late today again judging by Twitter - Thorpe Park anticipated it would open late by all accounts. Some downtime for Saw too.

Stealth
Stealth seems to be misbehaving herself today and yesterday - is that due to the heat? Apologies if that's been asked before

Derren Brown's Ghost Train: Rise of the Demon
Indeed, there were comments saying they really enjoyed it - but there were more posting about broken headsets/audio, the ride having downtime etc.

Derren Brown's Ghost Train: Rise of the Demon
Did anyone see the post on Thorpe's FB asking fans to "react" to the Ghost Train - most of the comments below it really aren't very good... just saying!

Fright Nights 2016
Is it me or does running down a train track spell a health and safety minefield for people falling over?

I'm feeling too old for the whole of TPM recently to be honest...

Derren Brown's Ghost Train: Rise of the Demon
I don't like the sound of this... sounds as if the headsets aren't really fit for purpose/up to the abuse that guests throw at them.

Derren Brown's Ghost Train: Rise of the Demon
Thorpe Park just tweeted a picture that shows a 200 minute queue. That is scary.

Derren Brown's Ghost Train: Rise of the Demon
Yep I'm yet to ride but my sister who was HYpEd to ride it left feeling a bit unimpressed... she said it was good but not as she amazing as she hoped - and she's not an "enthusiast". She said she didn't really "get it" and it made little sense.

Derren Brown's Ghost Train: Rise of the Demon
I got bored of waiting for the ride to open so decided to read the spoilers as I'd lost the hype. I could've/would've stayed away if it had been open for my visit in May (meaning a week of not reading things) - I don't go to Thorpe more than once or twice a year and don't have an AP After reading about it though - it does sound impressive and the delays now would make sense as it does sound a bit of a challenge technology wise. Sounds like a proper opening is a little way off still - my sister went on at the weekend and said her VR headset wasn't loud enough and didn't work correctly.

They've shut the queue - which is fair enough if the queue is estimated at 2+ hours.

Derren Brown's Ghost Train: Rise of the Demon
I can't believe it's coming up to 50 days since I visited and hoped to ride. And yes, just because it's been open doesn't mean there haven't been problems behind the scenes. I still maintain that the ride won't fully open without 7-10 days notice from Thorpe Park, they need to build up the "Hype train" again!

Oakwood
Well that was some awful timing buying that Pinfari Also not what Oakwood need... What's up with Speed? "Closed" (according to the website) sounds far more ominous than "Unavailable" (Bounce)
-
Derren Brown's Ghost Train: Rise of the Demon
Indeed - I'm actually genuinely excited to ride the thing again now. I wouldn't have read spoilers if it had opened when it was supposed to mind you, as I would've only had to stay away from them for a week! Leaked info isn't too difficult to find.
-
Derren Brown's Ghost Train: Rise of the Demon
I'm heading back to Thorpe for MOS Meet on 23rd July - and to think that my source joked that I should be alright to ride DBGT by then when I chatted to him at the end of April regarding my visit mid-May and the chance of me riding DBGT for mid-May being zero! At this rate, it could've only been open a couple of weeks

Derren Brown's Ghost Train: Rise of the Demon
I guess if you are staying in the shipping container hotel then TP will have your details... so it wouldn't be too difficult to work out/find whoever leaked something.
-
Derren Brown's Ghost Train: Rise of the Demon
I'm pleasantly surprised/infuriated (delete as appropriate) that none of the hotel guests who have ridden it have leaked anything to social media about it - I know that NDA's are about but I'm sure the Staines massive don't care about those
