  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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?
