You do realise its not an *actual* station right?

OMG I want the giant piggie and giant yellow and red bird!!!!!!

I imagine they have installed black wall panels to cover up the theming, seems the most logical thing to do if said maze is to return (heres hoping!)

Actually its 2002 - 2013, as it first opened as The Freezer, which was always much better imo

Well thats the last time I give audio out to anybody This file has now been removed, as it should not have been shared. If you have downloaded it, please do not redistribute, the few people who have been given a copy of it by the composer, have been asked not to share it. Thanks

Mods I hope Insider has received a warning for his rude and disrespectful behaviour!?

It's THORPE PARK....... are you really expecting them not to waste your time
-
it's so very easy for you to sit behind your screen and demand that it all be done by opening day, but you just don't know if there were complications behind the scenes. Judge once you know all the facts!

Slammer was shut and not testing all day, no surprise there....

Visited the park yesterday and for an opening day I was quite surprised. Reliability gets a massive thumbs up from me with only Vortex going down once, what I saw anyway. However, Inferno and Colossus were running on one train all day, queues wern't particularly long, I'd estimate about a 20 minute wait for Colossus, and up to 40 for Inferno. All other rides were generally walk on. I have to say I was really excited to experience the changes made to X, and rightly so, the new lasers and placement of the LED Moving Heads has made the ride even more enjoyable. A Main floodlight was on during the ride, which meant you could see the trussing and floor, which detracted from the experience a little, but again still very enjoyable. Something to note is that the Bag Drop at the ride entrance is back in use, not sure if they have chosen to move it back permanently or not. The signage just before the station for the 2nd drop is still up, as is the storage units on the otherside of the wall. It was nice to see a few touchups around the park, but some effects failed to work. The jets by the helicopter on The Swarm were off all day, as was the flame projector. The area music was off all day too, somebody is slacking somewhere! Inferno's mist is back and its the largest amount I've seen pumped out for a while, great effort from Thorpe there. The Stealth Store is looking great, and I'm really pleased that they've chosen to theme it to the area, unlike some of the new retail units that have appeared recently. The new indoor fish and chips restaurant is taking shape nicely, but has significantly reduced the width of the path leading up to the Stealth Plaza. I suppose this isnt *too* much of an issue. The old Amity Fish & Chips is now serving Hotdog meals. Staff wern't as lively as you'd have thought they would be for opening day. Some didnt say a word or change their expression at all. Bit more motivation needs to be dished out I reckon. Not sure what more to add really, Samurai was testing significantly today, a video of which you can see below that I took. It's looking positive and hopefully will be due for re-opening again soon. I did notice it was having a small difficulty finding it's Zero Position, but was not as bad as it has proven to be in the past. Overall, a great first day to the season, very pleased!

An extremely interesting meet. Definately up at the top of my list. You will only understand why if you attended. But my legs and feet are about to give way, so good night! X -
Maniacs Brave The Bloody Valentine Tour - 19/10/13
StevenVig replied to AJ 's topic in TPM 2013 Meets
I will be arriving around mid day as I have an appointment in the morning to attend! -
Whoever says this is the best Fright Nights yet is a moron and is lying to you. 2003 & 2004 were the best years yet, and have yet to be beaten The Cabin in the Woods My Bloody Valentine The Blair Witch Project (Scare Zone) Your Next (Roaming Actors) Saw Alive Same as ever, you all know the drill. New strobe lights but thats about it. A Bag of mixed reviews here, I didn't have high expectations, and I was right not to. Overall I'd have to say tonight in terms of atmosphere was weak. I like the music and the general Thorpe Park Studios theme, but its definately not the best FN yet, that much I can assure you. I will be visiting again on the 19th, and so I leave it up to you to draw your own conclusions.
