  1. Did see one couple jump under the silver line from SRQ when I went, they were ahead of me. Didn't mention anthing though, tbh more fool them because got on the ride quicker then them :)the security an staff have been very good with that on SAW.. I have seen a few gruops jump over the silver line but thye have been caughht every time and sent to the back of the queue

  2. I admit a 4D would be an intresting coaster and I'd love to ride one one day. However 4D's do take up a fair bit of space, as can be seen here...And considering Thorpe Park's already very cramped together rides and lack of space, it seems a 4D is unlikely, which is a shame, as X2 is supposed to be very good.

    yeah. they do take a lot of space :) are there any 4D's in the uk? I didnt think there were
  3. Because it is built over water!TBH, I don't know the exact reason why a woodie is not suitable at THORPE PARK, I just remember reading that because THORPE PARK's island is reclaimed land, a wooden (woodie) coaster is not available for option at THORPE PARK.

    ohh ok.. I think a 4 dimension coaster should be the next:)
  4. In the end, SRQ worked well. Yes, it needed to be stricter sometimes, but overall, it did work well. I will admit that twice there was someone else with me and we did it to skip the queues - but that was because we didn't mind going on by ourselves and we felt it was pointless queuing so we could sit together when we could just fill in an empty seat. In other words, I used as it should have been used - I didn't abuse it. In the end, stopping SRQ will probably lead to more Fastrack sales, thus making the queue longer than SRQ would have done. Perhaps Thorpe should be slightly less penny pinching?

    I use SRQ most of the time:)
  5. Someone called Darren Shears said that Thorpe said they were planning for:2012: Woodie2016: HypercoasterAnd in-between would be not much but some flat rides if anything

    I can't see thorpe building a woodie..
  6. What annoyed me is that my friend and I were queuing for about 40 minutes to get on Saw yesterday at the start of the day when it broke down. The woman on the tannoy advised people to leave, so we left and went to line up for Samurai instead. And then we saw a group of 3 guys go join the queue line, they were there for about 5 minutes before they came back out victorious because they had been given exit passes when they hadn't even been lined up since the morning.It was hardly fair.

    if you were queuing for 40 mins you should of stayed untill they said priority passes will be given out
  7. What I meant, was that Thorpe can't build another 200ft-ish (115ft+) coaster till 2016. They said they won't build another coaster that height till the LTDP runs out.

    ohh... ok.. I wonder what that coaster could be...
  8. Yeah I think it could do with being higher but then again its fine how it is :) what about it having a stand up part like the one in drayton manor :D

    yeah stand up would be good:) am I right in thinking that detonator was only meant to be at Thorpe for a few years?
  9. I was speaking to one of the mods for this site in the saw queue last monday, he mentioned that saw would be closed for a week or two to put the other two trains on, as they are only running with six at the moment.does anyone know when it will actually be closed?thanks
