  1. 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....
  2. 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!
  3. Or that bloody mechanical monkey used in a teaser!
  4. Stealth opened late today again judging by Twitter - Thorpe Park anticipated it would open late by all accounts. Some downtime for Saw too.
  5. Stealth seems to be misbehaving herself today and yesterday - is that due to the heat? Apologies if that's been asked before
  6. Indeed, there were comments saying they really enjoyed it - but there were more posting about broken headsets/audio, the ride having downtime etc.
  7. 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!
  8. Is it me or does running down a train track spell a health and safety minefield for people falling over?
  9. Mmmmmmmmmm fency.
  10. But not on 23rd July? Or will that be crazy busy anyway?
  11. I'm feeling too old for the whole of TPM recently to be honest...
  12. 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.
  13. Thorpe Park just tweeted a picture that shows a 200 minute queue. That is scary.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. MattyMoo replied to Artie's topic in The Past
    Slammer appears to have been down since 27th June - has she slammed for the final time?
  17. They've shut the queue - which is fair enough if the queue is estimated at 2+ hours.
  18. 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!
  19. MattyMoo replied to Aarron P's topic in UK Attractions
    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)
  20. 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.
  21. 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
  22. 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.
  23. 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
