Isn't Justin a boy's name? Those silly Americans...In regards to Mark's post, people once again prove that they are idiots... All Sci-Fi series have the ladies in there, why can't Dr. Who? Bloody Daily Fail readers...

Good Points4 really good rides (Inferno, Slammer, Rush, Det)Themed musicAmity's themingBad PointsA lack of effort with theming since Samurai came inCan feel very enclosed if busyNowhere really to go and get away from busynessPoorly laid out Pizza HutFast-track on practically every single rideLack of atmosphere in some areas (particularly by the Arena)ReliabilityYeah... Lots of poor points for Thorpe...

2008 Halloween Thorpe hit capacity and Chessie got it's scummy guests who got turned away...And Vampire was broken that morning...But capacity? What the hell IS Chessie's capacity? Sounds like 18k or something really daft...Excellent news all the same...

The lift still sits there, since you go through it in order to board the ride...Having never done it with the lift, I only go by what my parents say, and that was that the lift was extremely uncomfortable and warm, and when you consider how bad NWO can get in the hot summer days, I wouldn't be suprised if a couple of people had fainted or whatever...I vaguely remember the spinning tunnel in the queue though... Tbh the entire ride smells of the old owners of Thorpe, ambitious, but without the money it was a complete and utter failure... It really needs Merlin to take a long look at it and totally revamp the building/coaster/etc...Either that or get rid... Not sure which option I would prefer...

*Loves living in Zone 4 of the London travel zones*Honestly though, the trains are all expensive these days... And finding an alternative route from Swansea is... Difficult to say the least...

^Hyper, Giga, same principle... It's about the height... But from personal experience Intamin OSTRs do not agree with corners or the transitions Intamin have...Hence... It could well be intense as hell, but it won't be fun... Much like Maverick got ruined by the OTSRs...

Comparing the 'bouncing track' at the end of Winja's to Thirteen's drop is not great...Winja's bit is not a freefall, since the track is hinged (as the diagram shows)...And the spinning is freely controlled just like any MS spinner, although it gets stopped whilst doing the trick track sections of both Fear and Fury... But it continues spinning after...Thirteen does have the world's first freefall drop actually as part of a rollercoaster... Some Gerstlauers have the station track descend to go into the maintenance area (Mystery Mine is the first example I can think of), but none doing what Thirteen does...

The large amounts of snow didn't help either...At least they got it open on time, may have been unfinished, but there would've been a lot more backlash than if they weren't gonna open it...

Need to tell us which direction you're coming from...Since we can only guess atm and give rather generic advice rather than "Leave your house, go to ..., get the train to ..., change and get the train from ... to ..." etc...

Intimidator 305 is a hyper coaster with shoulder restraints...It also has the now typical snappy Intamin transistions...It looks like it'll do what Maverick did an attempt to sever your neck on some of those turns...Hence, the B&M will win out... As I really liked Diamondback and the different seating arrangement...

^In Japan there was, but that changed to Blue...I'm currently the proud owner of 9 badges of Soul Silver... And hopefully 10 in a minute...

Pah, Squirtle kicks Charizard's arse...

^I prefer the way the LEDs are done on Tomb Blaster since they're actually put on stuff 90% of the time... (Compared to Duel of course)There are some very good interactive dark rides in the world... Would love Sally Corp to get their hands on a revamp of Tomb (and Bubbles, but that's another story), and really add to the current experience...It's fun, and defo provides some great competition among groups...

What an awesome advert for a theme park...

Check up Zamperla's website?Flat rides are usually harder to get specific details for since they are generally the same, so the manufacturers' site is the best place to go...

They got rid of Market Square and Toytown music :DNot happy with that...But the new entrance music is very good and suits the new adventure thing they have going...

The new station annoucement was added last year for safety concerns and was done by a member of staff...Hence, it's rubbish

Watch me and find out!Some swearing and lulz involved...

Any annoying PicSolve Benin approves of since they annoy the rides teams by sending Express passers down the exit...

Kobra was only that at the start of the day as well, the rest of the rides had minimal queue aside from the usual suspects of Fury, Vamp and Bubbles...Of course, I sense that if someone else had turned round and said 'I spent 5 minutes at Thorpe, couldn't get in contact with anyone and left to go to Chessie, I park I much prefer anyways' there'd be uproar...And 6000 is a medium day... But it didn't feel like 6000 at all tbh... It was a nice, relaxing atmosphere... We felt able to sit down and have donuts/coffee, waste time in the lorikeets enclosure, and waste even more time standing by a talking tree for ages... Stuff Thorpe doesn't provide...

It's still awful...Please Chessie... Gut the damn thing and restart from the top...

Really, I don't think the queue line is well themed...They could add a few more stone ruins or something different to look at during the periods of loading/unloading...Those random mirror things as well... What are they for?

The detail in Wild Asia was so great, the dodgem cars all seemed to have piles of dust in them already...Probs only saying it needs a soundtrack because we've been used to the old one...

I didn't notice the new fountain until my mate pointed it out...The elephant has been on/off for a few years now... But it still needs a proper fix up, that trunk used to rise up as it sprayed the water onto the boat...I approved of the new dragon noise, but something needs to be put into that tunnel to make it... Interesting... Also, bring back the non-PC announcements from last year please...

Had that on Saturday... Don't tell the guests how bad you think the staff are, because it sounds bad and the guests will think you're a idiot of the highest order... The offloader should be wandering up and down and doing that, or yelling loudly and people with a good old fashioned point, that worked... But the old exit rider sign seems to have gone missing, so that needs to be put in so that those people don't walk onto the front end of the platform...
