Seriously? Three cars? I'm sure there were more than that running when I went on it, but that was a good few years ago now. The difference is that Toadies has the potential to be okay(ish) - if they added lots more theming and refurbed it then it could be a good family ride. Tiny Truckers on the other hand (although I have never ridden it) looks short, boring and disappointing after queueing for a long time - which most people have due to it's capacity being so low.
-
^ If the ride had looked like the one in the concept art, and if it ran properly, I'm sure it wouldn't get so much hate. At the moment it just downgrades the whole area, fails to shift a queue on even the quietest of days, has worse drainage than Storm Force 10 and Valhalla, doesn't offer a good ride experience now that the "spinners" are mostly broken, and the few water effects that it has barely work. Also, the one good thing about the ride (the theme music) didn't seem to be playing at all this year. If they had done the job properly, it could have looked fine. I am still of the opinion that it looked much better at Cypress (from photos anyway), probably because the supports were out of the way. I'm sorry, but it doesn't have a place at Thorpe in my opinion. It can't shift a queue, doesn't offer the ride experience it should, and leaves you with soaking wet shoes. If they carried out the necessary work to get the ride looking presentable and with an acceptable capacity, my opinion of it might change.

Hopefully removing it - I don't see why it's in the park when Toadies does exactly the same thing on a better level, plus has about three times the capacity.

Yes there's no questioning that they should be open, but I don't think they will be.
-
And maybe Slammer, that actually seems to run well in the cold (although it would probably still be having maintenence). I don't mean just flats though, as I said X would probably be open as it's indoors, and Flying Fish is likely to be so that would be X, Flying Fish, Detonator, Vortex, Zodiac, Quantum, Rush, Teacups, Angry Birds 4D, possibly Slammer and possibly (but unlikely) Samurai. Rush is also a possibility but I doubt it would have finished maintenance.
-
There would still be flats open, probably including Angry Birds Land (so the 4D cinema would be open), and of course Braniac Live. Thorpe's coasters don't even run properly in the main season, so I can't imagine them having them open in February like they used to (although I could be wrong).

To be honest I doubt any of the major coasters will be operating, although I would expect X to be.

Not going to university. Don't want to start my working life in debt, and I don't actually know what I want to do yet...
-
Looks average to me, and they are a bit close together. Also, they look absolutely nothing like the concept art (although I know they aren't finished yet).
-
If Tidal Wave destroyed Storm Surge's supports, the ride would fall down. Actually, I like that idea.
-
Good Friday is on the 3rd April, so quite a way away from the 12th March.
-
No, Tidal Wave demonstrates how destroyed theming should look (or at least it did when it opened), Storm Surge is just a mess.
-
Really looking forward to this, well done to Thorpe! Also 12th March seems earlier than last year for the main season so double points!
