  1. ^ A Kid you probably have the same source as me (being on CF), but what I was told when I asked the head engineer of Stleath at the time, (know him personally, not just quick word at the park) I was told that the launch was ajusted. So that's my source and that's what I stand by. What reason would he have to lie?

    sound like a very reliable source to me :lol:
  2. Thats pretty unlucky tbh I would much rather have the whole queline experience rather than just a bit of it. Anyway dont fastrack people still have to queue when they get to the station??

    they do. but if the queue is run properly they will only have to queue for about 5 mins..if that
  3. I like looking at all the traps and stuff and am I right in thinking that the fastrack people do not get to walk under the shotguns??

    your are correct. fastrack do not walk under the shotguns..they enter by the stairs
  4. Nope, marketing just changed where they measured the launch time from - 2.3 is from launch started to bottom of top hat, 1.9 is middle of launch track where the catch dog lifts from the catch car.

    I thought I read somewere that they tweaked something to do with nitrogen?so I assumed I was actually a faster launch.RobD what is your reliable source?
  5. To be fair, I would say £50 or however much it is for the ultimate fastrack is a bit steep but I may consider paying it for a Fright Night if I have to go on a crowded day...

    I agree.. I think it is overpriced.. but then again they know that people will buy it so why not charge £50 for it.I wouldnt consider buying it unless it came down to around £30
  6. Good Idea :). To be honest, I think they should add some sort of dispatch announcement in the station, like on Colossus. (Or when it used to be on Colossus, "Please stand clear, the gates are about to close. You're ride on Colossus is about to begin etc".) I think something like this would go very well with Nemesis Inferno.

    yeah that would be good although I think I might spoil the atmosphere.I love the music on nemesis :D
  7. Yes, it doesn't often run on one swing. Only when the park is really quiet.

    or if it is broken :D last year it was on one swing much more which is a good thing.. it shows its reliablilty is improving :)
  8. They may as well put the price up to £10. There are many people who go to Thorpe Park with ridiculous amounts of money who would still buy that.

    yeah :) although there would be quite a few people who wouldnt pay that much.
  9. I haven't been to this park before. I am going to try and do more parks that I haven't done before soon, to try out new rides. Is Paulton's Park worth a visit?

    if your looking for big, extreme rides then definatly not.its much more of a family theme park and designed for younger visitors. but there are a few good rides like cobra and there log flume (although there are hundreds of that log flume around) and the edge looks good
  10. On the Fastrack ticket posters is is advertised at "SAW: THE RIDE or STEALTH - £4". To be honest, I can't see why they don't just scrap these and include all of the attractions on "Single Fastrack - £3".

    so that thorpe make more money.. they know people will still buy it
  11. Now you say that...I haven't really seen Rush having a massive queue this season at all out of the 8 times I have been.

    same here..and last year almost every time I went it was over an hour.I also remember a few years ago riding Colossus at the end of the day 4-8 times in a row at the end of the day... you cant do that anymore :) its too crowded
  12. I haven't had to pay for late collection at all (but then again I haven't bought any ride merchandise since the end of last year). I don't know about the two for £20, but I presume not. I would guess it would be more like 2 for £24.

    yeah you used to have to pay 50p extra I think ;)
  13. Yeah photos have gone up aswell they are £7 each now.

    :)thorpe like taking money off people don't they..are they still charging extra for collection later on during the day?and do they still do two SAW dvd's for £20?
