Traveling from London
Simple business to get to Thorpe from Central London, single train from Waterloo (or can go from Victoria but will require changing at Clapham and a MILE LONG walk)... Vauxhall is another alternative as Waterloo trains head straight through... Then a bus from Staines station (or taxi, whichever floats your boat)...

This week in new games... Bioshock Infinite Luigi's Mansion 2 Lego City Undercover (Also getting Tomb Raider, gonna be busy)- X
He thinks it's TOO low for a ride like NWO... Although with new trains, comes new individual lapbars... Indeed, the original NWO had a min restriction of 1.2 (odd) [citation needed], and was raised when someone ended up out of the train (as riding with those of a larger disposition meant those under 1.4m could easily get out of the train)... Of course, the other side is it going against Thorpe's BIG THRILL marketing...- Rant

Phantasialand's new Flume ride is taking shape... I don't even know where to begin... Looks more confusing than Smiler does...- Miribilandia
WHAT a ride... Only reason anyone needs to visit that place... Sod the rest of it, Katun is where it's at...- X

That's with riding Goudrix AND Sequioa Adventure as well?- Cedar Point
What immensely well themed trains!- Chessington General Discussion
Been sponsored by them for... 2/3 years I think? It came with the revamp of the logo/signage/new bins... Not the worst ride sponsorship we've seen in the UK...- Chessington General Discussion
But surely if people want information on a park they would go to the official site as the first piece of available information? Not a Thorpe Park biased forum where many on here won't actually know the answer?- Chessington General Discussion
http://www.chessington.com/updates/#wwu The websites exist for a reason...- Oakwood
Did they announce it would be open with the park? Not anywhere I can see, so yes, I do expect it to be a construction site, even if the rest of the park opens this week... 2 months since groundwork was going on as well... That's a worse construction window (if they aimed for opening) than any of Merlin's stuff... Logic dictates therefore they were not aiming for a opening day jobbie with this (especially as the Flume came from Camelot, hence a decision no doubt waited on whether or not that would've been coming along to the park)... Indeed, this is a HUGE investment for Oakwood, let them build it in their own time and judge the FINISHED product... Not the current state (with it's surprise indoor section, was not expecting that)...- Oakwood
It's in the middle of construction... How about judging the finished article? Not half way through?- Port Aventura
In your opinion you find them fun... It's the Mitch Hawker issue all over again!- Port Aventura
Not a sentence that makes much sense really (not that I've done Baco or new Stampida, though El Diablo was just crap)... Rides being excessively rough do indeed cause a detrimental effect to the enjoyment of it... Not that Dan said they were rough, just tripe mind...- Compliments about Thorpe Park
