(sorry completely forgot to post long day of school) From what I remember, the effects that were not working are, the bubble machine in the castle, the guy talking on a horse, the fairy's wand stopped moving. Also the goat on a hammock used to swing and that has stopped. The troll under the bridge used to rock the bridge ( I'm talking like 5 years ago) the thing in the water is supposed to jump up and quirt water but I don't know about that as they were working on it. After that there is litter red riding hood with her fish (that effect is occasionally on so I'm unsure) as LG95 said the Aladdin rope has snapped and the cave opening doesn't rise or fall anymore. Inside the cave it used to have the water mist thing and I'm unsure if they have just turned it off or it has broken, outside the cave was a fountain hill thing that has stopped and for the last few years some large black pipes have been showing which is a shame. Further on grandma's cottage, this bit actually upset me slightly, someone had smashed the glass in the window showing the bulb and insides of the cupboard (it may have been fixed now). the other effects were OK. wait at the end the grandma and red riding hood were having troubles with their arms and grandmas mouth (that may also have been fixed) Other than the faded Lego bricks the ride is fairly well maintained. Another thing, in my lifetime, I have never seen the ride closed or broken down have any of you peeps seen it broken?

I hope not because that wil lonly scare like 45% of the people and get rather bad results

The whole point of this topic was that confuzzled didnt know what was there so how can the put it in the sunken gardens?? Also after looking at the map it doesnt really show how to get into the sunken gardens, just that is is there.

Just looking at the picture. I know it will be sad but I hope Thorpe put a fence or something round this. (instead of the current "temp" fences) I have seen many people sitting and climbing on it despite the fence. there is just no way of stopping them with a "temp" fence

I hate chavs that do that kind of thing. Also chavs that try to act hard by making people jump

Ive only been a dissapointing 7 times. last year and before that it peaked at about 20-30 times

Same fairy tale brook is my fave ride and I would hate them if they removed it. After school today I will list all the anamotronics that I remember that are broken

Also I seem to remember that the floor was large concrete steps?

This isn't me going over another topic, but today my friend is at thorpe park and they were in the swarm queue and supposedly something fell off it again. Basically the island has been evacuated so before it hits the tabloids again, what do you think it is?

se7en was pretty bad last year. maybe they don't want to risk it for another year??

By the looks of it they are getting rid of that shooting gallery thing, with the crocodiles, monkeys, frogs and giraffe? Good riddance it only worked 15% of the time anyway

Same

I'm pretty sure they do. I think all the ticket places open 30 to 60 minutes before the park opens, but you should wait for another person to confirm this as I'm not sure.

Thorpe Park Have just posted on their Facebook CLICK HERE TO ORDER NOW!

I'm not sure how to respond to this lol. By the videos I saw in the internet (I did a little research) it is just a play park? That is not really what I would call a theme park although when they get the planned rollercoaster thats when I think it becomes a theme park.

We dont want a repeat of last years Opening Preview Day lol. I dont know about before but Last years halloween event was practically empty and they it gradually rose in guest quantity later in the month

I'm presuming as there are not many actual pictures of the things on their website they will make a new batch? 3-4 years is a VERY long time and they will probably be in bad condition when they get back so maybe.... ALSO I noticed it says custom picture/painting what do you think Thorpe will put in these?

I'm pretty sure I saw a site that you can tap out the tune on your keyboard and it will search for a similar song. but I dont think it works for remixes

Well it doesn't seem to be on youtube lol. When I posted the previous vid I thought to my self it doesn't sound like something they would play at thorpe

Lol pretty clever if they were just queue jumpers in discuise. I went on the preview night and the only actors I saw were the "staff" outside EXP 10 shame. Although the fact that the park was completely empty acted as a creepy atmosphere in itself If there were actors hiding it would be AMAZING

Is this what you were thinking? It has the lyrics "I wanna fly"

They cant really fix the fire not lighting. It presume its to do with the quality of the propane or the ignition flame not working. (I had similar problems on my Halloween event including the large fire burst putting out the ignition flame)

I would add mist and fog. AND change the floor by adding a load of stones like coals. With the lights with would make an amazing effect of running or flying over hot coals (like a volcano) It would be quite a cheap fix. well cheaper than turfing up the "soggy concrete" and chanig it to something else. it would also dim/block out a majority of the lights if the coals piled up at the edges

Not reliably

Ive started to notice that too. Do you know where exactly they start getting tighter? As I know from other rides at parts if you breath out you cant breathe back in again due to the restraints, its almost starting to be like that on the end run of the swarm when you want to get your breath back :/
