It's MEANT to be the back two rows which are backwards...

I think it's partly for off-riders as well on those on-ride... As they used to do, provide LOTS to look at from various angles for both groups of people, it'll look a fairly impressive beast...

Not what I meant at all... I meant that WingRiders do not conform to that whole "back against front" as 'normal', the two sides also provide a massive difference to ride experience as each one has it's own path and hence unique forces in comparison to the other...

Ahhhh, the constant massive 05 minutes <3 Sea Dragons

Swarm and the B&M WingRiders are a different kettle of fish in regards to different experiences per seat...

Cheers... Doesn't affect me, but might do others

I would imagine this will cause some issues... Standard pass restrictions usually do... You don't have a direct link source to that at all do you?

DAT ARTWORK So basically, it's just gonna be some extra sensory effects on the giant machine (which will break in two weeks )

The new boat ride is new, completely different layout (since they couldn't really bring it along with them)... The queue MOSTLY takes place indoors now, though I would imagine busier days may involve outdoor times... Rest I can't speak for yet...

I know this is guestimating, but really? From highest to lowest (for major coasters)? Sigh... EDIT - BILLBOARD!

Damn Chessie, closing the park because it was busy and only had a maximum amount of people it could let in! Some of the outrage you see on Facebook, is rather pathetic... "Oh I queued ages for this ride", it's a theme park, it will be busy... End...

Remember taking my uni mates on it (one of whom hadn't done a ride before at all before that day) and they were both pretty amazed by the whole thing... Seeing someone look so confused and grip onto the lapbar in fear was amazing <3

Most of the people who moan on FB shouldn't be allowed to have an opinion... If people complain because a park is busy, well maybe they shouldn't go to these places... Especially if people expect Thorpe to ever be empty...

It's not running properly though, they're turning seats BACKWARDS! Also, why do it on a Wednesday morning when most people will be at work? I mean I'm fortunate in that I might be able to get away with grabbing some tickets at that time, but not everyone will be able to... Thorpe's services to guests do leave a lot to be desired at times...

Sorta PR that the park should be doing tbh, not an overally stupid topic, gets the park mentioned and is rather interesting...

>Pushes backwards ride >Makes you pre-book a seat Organisational nightmare GO!

Wasn't that one of the days were none of the people trained to go up there weren't in?

WHO LOVES BRICKS?

Coaster trains aren't THAT difficult to push actually, I've pushed the Vampire trains a few times (empty AND full) and due to the design it's all about getting that little bit of extra starting momentum to get it going... When Stealth gets stuck, it only needs a wee push in either direction to go down... And the latest pics on FB show it's still there...

This is just... Wow...

Taken by Thorpe themselves... Just checking the track really, nothing actually special as it's typical of maintenance of track based objects, checking visually for cracks and the like... That zipwire is used for access to the top, will forever be there...

A ride at Towers trying to pretend it's perfectly safe and happy? Wonder where that came from?

Both Runaway Trains in the country do have PA announcements... It's probably a result of age and Chessie's view of interaction...

Wait, did I visit TowersStreet? I can't play this cos Windows Phone superiority
