I should've tucked in my t-shirt #toomanydoughnuts
-
Was just saying to Mr. Fish - I'm not sure if photo 5 is me next to planenut at the front - there was one ride near the start where he ended up at the front and I filled the seat next to him Can't believe they used a pic with an empty train! EDIT: Don't think it is me, t-shirt is too yellow Is it Fish?

Rode X yesterday for the first time since it's "rebirth" - have to say, with the funds available I am quite impressed, and has certainly breathed a bit of life into what was an odd ride... thumbs up from me. Particularly like the light effects in the queue line tunnels, and the ride itself certainly suits the new "family orientated" Thorpe.
-
The Loggers & Rocky combo was another highlight of the day for me! Never have I been so drenched on Loggers - Complete and utter face full of water EDIT: There's a handful of photos on my Facebook too - but no people in them mind you

Appeared to be back on 2 swings today

I've just got back to Portsmouth - alas no free ice cream for us but there was a group photo in the fake snow shower after our many rides on Stealth pluk - worry ye not, despite us being the first rides of the morning, and us being on 20+ trains, not one rollback happened. Good fun in the Swarm queue that started out as 15 mins and ended up being nearly an hour because of an E-Stop, a V*-Stop and a technical fault. I'm pretty shattered and I only did Stealth about 10 times and left about 3pm, so you lot still on park will be shattered by hometime! Another fab opportunity and day out thanks to TPM and Thorpe Park - well done to all concerned! (Oh, and - I really like the new X. First time on it, impressed with that they've done!) * "essential cleaning"
-
Since it's an early morning, to make the event extra extra special, could a rollback be arranged please? Kaithanxbai
-
And now it's closed again....
-
Was up at 5:40am this morning for work - looking forward to setting my alarm even earlier for tomorrow for a jaunt up the A3!
-
SO looking forward to this now I can be squeezed in - thanks so much Thorpe Park and TPM! I'm driving from Portsmouth, going to leave about 5:40 I think to be on the safe side! I won't be staying all day either, as I have commitments in the evening, so probably will depart around 2/3pm. I'm not fussed what route we take after early morning Stealth - I'm easy, just coming for the Stealthin' and the socialisin'!
-
Sounds like the Tidal queue was correct - wow. Still, maybe that'd make the soaking even more satisfying after that wait! I agree on Slammer - I wouldn't be surprised if it does open before the end of the year, but I'm guessing Merlin don't want to chance their arm too much what with Ramases recently - wouldn't be too good for PR. Rush on one swing would be a no-go for me too. Hope it returns to 2 swings soon, as that will help dissipate the queues. Certainly sounds as if yesterday was an exceptionally busy day.
-
Noooo, no pluk!
-
True, very true. Wonder if it'll come back exactly as before or modified?
-
Cheers for the clarification - wow, those are some epic queues. 2hrs 40 mins for Tidal at peak? Thanks for the Slammer info - that's a shame if that's true. I haven't had a ride this season, and I don't think I will get one now by the sounds of it! Rush on one swing....? Can only assume that there must be a problem with the other swing for that to be happening with a park of that capacity! My friend said she only got on one ride in the time she was there, and since it was a school party (I'm guessing younger kids), and if she was there 11-3, and they had to have lunch, then that's evidently quite possible!
-
No RMT and now no Ramases until 2014 then...
-
Shocking eh? Maybe it's the sheep mentality of just joining a queue without knowing what it's for? Apparently some queues today were up to (and over) the 2 hour mark - not sure if anyone can verify that but that's what my friend told me (admittedly not a theme park fan so don't take it as gospel )
-
A teacher friend was at Thorpe Park this morning, this was taken at 11am. Fast-track tastic! My view on Fast-track - I've never liked it, and never will like it. And, more to the point, I never have, and never will buy it
-
darkadder312 - I did 13 rides in a row around the same time - was when Thorpe had week long Fright Nights all October, and was one of the first of the month
-
Waaaa how did I miss this? My beloved Stealth! I could actually re-ride that without needing a breather a la Swarm photoshoot in March! Have fun peeps, tres jealous
-
Yep, what Merry-go-girl said - no fun queuing at the end of the day!
-
Can't wait for Part 5 - I wonder if the horror story of escaping the park is as bad as I heard!
-
I guess if someone has a "free" Thorpe Annual Pass, when they return they are more likely to spend on food, sideshows, photos etc. - which is arguably where Thorpe make most of their profit?
-
Well I think this unfortunately means no Top Spin for Thorpe in 2014
-
Good to see Ramases open according to CwOA's ride status page!
-
The article says firefighters had to cut people free from RR... Methinks it'll be down for sometime then! Glad all are OK!
