Ah, SAW Alive, a particularly well used area of the park currently.... I will also withhold judgement on Angry Birds land until it's all in place - keeping things positive though, I'm pleased that P4D appears to being renovated well with this mention of seats - good to see a SBNO ride being redeveloped, SAW Alive next plz? As a side note too, since there was a photo or two in the TPM update, the more I see of the new Thorpe Park branding the more I like it (I've said that before, but I will say it again) - you could argue it's boring, I personally think it looks slick and modern and even if you aren't enamored by it, it's a vast improvement on cheap and nasty misbehaving big-heads in-yer-face everywhere.

Unfortunately I'm not one of those people Agree though - it's been in desperate need of a refurb - and reroute - for quite some time. It was pretty boring and tired looking when I last went in 2011.... can only imagine what it looks like now!

Weclome Tarin Good to see new names on here!

Yep Rocky Creek saved me from a complete wipeout of £0 back too!

Pinch punch first of the month...

I remember the batching door, yes! Certainly added suspense to the ride (especially since I was younger) - plus of course, you wouldn't see anyone getting off the trains so they were mysteriously empty when you got on!

I don't think there will be any conservation orders in place for a humble magpie... more probably get killed on the M25 each day, whilst they are gorging on some roadkill themselves, ironically

Thanks for that video, appreciated! Makes you realise just how small the ride is and how having the rocks made RMT seem much more of a ride than it actually was. In short - it looks rather pathetic without the rocks

Apologies for the slightly naff quality of these videos that I've just rediscovered - it was very very cold (as TPM members will testify) hence a finger or two in the way at times, and I was on my spare phone as my Xperia Z had been drained of battery after being on the go since 6am - but that aside, thought they may be appreciated You can play spot the TPM member, and also enjoy a particularly non apocalyptic soundtrack in the Swarm station... (have set these videos to public on Facebook so even if we aren't Facebook fwends you can still watch ) https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10152239367963592&l=8924597793659564464 https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10152239363868592&l=8611346375747456768 https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10152239352313592&l=6899957456724649276

That's shocking that they make Dragon Falls look like that in that ad. I mean, yeah, it looked like that when I went in 1995 when I was 12...

Sounds like a recipe for disaster, someone could end up with a face full of pigeon...

Blimey, I didn't realise quite how dirty Colossus is....!

Ha I thought I got away with it I was pretty sneaky in doing so as everyone was chatting after the ride and I just snuck off round the corner

Can we buy Fastrack on this attraction?

Mmmm dat keyclamp railing

I chucked up after Rush on the Stealth photoshoot trip last year, but no-one noticed I expect to see a nice patch of foliage where I have fertilised the ground in the area with the finest Amity Kebab.

I do like the style of focusing on the coasters, but it seems other rides have been forgotten about in their place. As I've said though - as perhaps "boring" the new font looks, it's a far cleaner, professional and less tacky look. Have all the "big heads" gone from signage in park (lockers, toilets, etc.) - I'm guessing not as yet?

Blimey - I don't normally ride Vortex as it makes me feel ill (no point ruining my day for it!) but I think even my ageing stomach could handle that cycle! This cycle - maybe not:

Whaaaaat? 15 people? That means I'll never be able to recreate having the whole ride to myself like a did on my birthday 4 or 5 years ago

Oh Ramases you creaky beast, welcome back!

The Dome is probably bigger than you realise, once chairs, crane grabbers etc are cleared away Stealth is amazing all the time, but even better at night Is it the Travelodge called Hertz House, TW5 9SW? If so there's a McDonalds that's 10 min walk away down the Bath Road (A4)

It's held in the Dome (just after the entrance bridge) Assume you mean Two Rivers Travelodge in Staines? If so, that's adjacent to the retail park that has a McDonalds, so you can walk it within 5 mins!

I really like the "new look" Thorpe branding - it looks almost, dare I say it, professional?

What's "Hideaway" by the Carousel? The orange lettering implies a family friendly ride...!

My memories of Vampire in my youf are exactly the same. Dat tunnel... with the sign about the Vampire striking - entering the station was one of the scariest parts!
