1.2m unaccompanied, 1m accompanied. It says on the park map!

It looks like it's half sank to me.

Some rumour given that they state on the website Samurai will be open next season?

I was just going to ask how busy it was. No queues is great to hear, but if there is one and it's on a Friday I'll be unable to attend!

Two flats down during fright Nights is likely to have a knock-on effect on other rides and attractions. I think they should consider adding two things temporarily, or shaving capacity by a thousand or two to compensate.

Hopefully not true!

I think they shot themselves in the foot when they put a barrier up immediately after he fell. It's kind of like ackowledging that it is dangerous.

Well my first ride was in 2010, but I still love it now. But yeah, as a first ride I was moderately nervous before boarding, but the rush from the launch was awesome.

I've been monitoring people's comments and views on this ride and they are overwhelmingly negative among the general public.'Nemesis' just means rollercoaster to the average joe and I think this is adding to people's disappointment.Thirteen had a MIXED reaction among the public, despite what enthusiasts think, and remains popular two years on. I bet the same cannot be said for Sub-Terra in 2014.

I managed to get on this for the first time two weeks ago. I really enjoyed it and it was very different, but the loading procedure and just the way the ride parks etc is really detrimental to its success.

Are people really as sick on it as often as the park make out?

I have not been on Samurai but I just love The Beast at Fantasy Island, it regularly cycles for five minutes or more and is manually controlled by quite lively ops!I'd like to try Samurai but the queues at Thorpe Park can't justify it easily.

I lovce this ride and don't understand why so many people hate it. Now in its 11th year, its popularity is a testament to how iconic it is. Loved the original TV ad as well.I have only been on it twice, the first being annual pass day last year and the other two weeks ago.

Lots of people must have started crying!

I wouldn't class this as 'minor' as has been widely reported if the place is still closed.

The boats don't exactly fit in with the theme either, but it's still ten times better than the appearance of Storm Dirge.

Forgive me, but they have signs outside syaing it's a backwards rollercoaster in the dark. If they're going to run it with floodlights on and make it a poor experience, people should be at least informed before queuing.

There was no sign warning of the lights on so it was pretty lame and not worth the wait, but I was hoping they were off as there was no sign. Please take the world's first backwards rollercoaster in the dark signs off if you're going to run it like this, and also give the REAL reason for having the lights on.

Well it was my first time on it, so I dread to think what it was like before.

They've added a smokey smell effect....yes, the rays are sorely missed and were far more interesting.

It's a little rough but it doesn't affect the enjoyment of the ride.

No, it's drawn in more people to the mark since what Air did nine years previous. It is no fail and has achieved exactly what it was intended to do. People on messages boards may be disappointed with it but it's popular among many of the park's visitors, especially smaller kids who can't get on all of the other rides.

This theming would be more at home in the early 80s, rather than the mid 90s...

Queue inside and keep the lights off, simple as!

There were no lights on inside the pyramid during the roller coaster ride when I rode on Saturday? Surely they can't have just been randomly off? This is very confusing! Perhaps they are turned on by the operator if they see young/low nausea tolerance people on the train? Whereas a group of 18-30 year old lads may be seen as likely to stomach it and the lights are off?
