  1. ^Horray for things that say 3 lines one after the other in quick succession
  2. Seemed to be a lot smoother this year at least in the back row...But I also agree it NEEDS more padding... Bloody Vekoma...

    Palace fan... 19 years of it...And I'm bricking the next two weeks...

    Rush

    But this in turn makes the queue-line even longer, and that queue can be bad enough with just the minimal settings... Let alone the ride being even longer...
  5. Think work experience people intermingle between areas (mainly rides and presentations I think), as I've only encountered them a handful of times, a full-timer may be able to tell you more...But basically you won't be doing much on the rides bar shadow platforming...
  6. Do wish they'd theme both sets of tunnels on the ride though...Even just a cheap looking rock wall on the inside of the one by Buccy would improve it, especially if the smoke machine was used... The brake run though... God I wish there was something decent in there to look at...
  7. I never said that...I said the TRANSITION as you go from Toytown into Forbidden Kingdom is awful...
  8. ^Agreed, Pirates Cove just seems to intermingle between several areas of the park without being defined...The queue is... good... Although the area under the waterfall is very dodgy many times throughout the year...Tbh I would like to see Pirates Cove get a hell load of work done to it to actually make it feel a lot more defined as an area, instead of having the dodgy transistion that also occurs in Toytown and Forbidden Kingdom...

    Due to being in New Zealand or because he'll be burnt by a volcano?

    Slammer

    *Insert generic Thorpe has rubbish maintenance joke here*
  11. ^Why would an AP holder need a voucher to get one when they already have proof that they own an AP...

    Churchill sponsored football shirt? With Le Coq Sportif on it as well? Well done Mark...That photo was the only decent thing going for it for a while since it was always a test of how silly a pose you could do...
  13. Sure Colossus has had that for like... years now...Easy way to solve the problem, don't have any piercings...
  14. Alternatively the only line you ever need to know in Germany is... "Ein bier bitte"...
  15. Any language barrier can be broken through numerous pointing and miming... Knowing some basic German would help though, but they mostly understand English... Thankfully...Though the entrance area looks so different now to two years ago...

    We talking about the lights or the ride?
  17. Tbh it wouldn't be too hard for them to remove all the things Saw related because there isn't exactly a lot there related to Saw directly...2 puppets, change the videos and annoucements... That's all they need to do really...

    Th13teen

    Hydraulic systems from Intamin are just so reliable aren't they?Probs issues with the dropping mechanism then...
  19. ^Honestly I cannot remember... My memory is like a bloody sieve at times...Quick look at Theme UK says that the original entrance was last used in 2002... But maybe someone with a decent memory can help...
  20. Think it was changed to allow fastrack to come in... Or Health n Safety... Bound to be sommat like that... Think it happened in 2002 at least...Do wish they'd use the doors again though... But the staircase for fastrack would pose several problems for it... If they could work out a way to re-route the stairway so they could use the doors for both normal and fastrack queues whilst simply connecting the current queue to it then they should... But I also think they should add a facade to the building as well...

    Your Thorpe Park

    ^Did you include a time machine in your plans? Since you do seem to start this whole process last year...
  22. Thought you would've realised by now that people at theme parks seem to lack basic intelligence sometimes...Sad... But true...
  23. Not the first time Falls has had a problem... Think it was the start of 08 that it wasn't having a good time...On a side note... Bring back the rocks! etc...
  24. Guests?I called them the silly people who get on my nerves Or maybe that was the staff... My memory is very bad...

    Pirates 4D

    I really can't see it coming back...Especially when all the other parks that had it (Busch Gardens and Phantasialand) seem to have got rid of it as well...Barely remember it tbh, but surely anything is better than Time Voyagers... That was boring as hell...
