2014 TV advert
I doubt there'll be one until Angry Birds tbh.

It's weird that it's all gone quiet, if they were getting anything worthwhile then surely they'd be shouting about it?

Are we not getting anything else then? Teacups replacing Brer Rabbit -

2014 Season
Agreed, there were lots of touch ups and things having been cleaned that surprised me.

Rant
In my opinion, lecturers should be sympathetic and helpful as a standard part of their job - it's their job to help students etc, if they aren't prepared to do that then they shouldn't have that job.

New trains with lapbars would be amazing! The current trains are terrible, worst coaster trains I've seen I think.

Yeah it makes quite a loud rattle as the train leaves it.

Food Outlets
Calypso BBQ was really good yesterday, the burgers were bigger and of a better quality than usual. No Canada Creek music playlist though!

Terror (Forbidden) Tomb
That looks amazing, why did they have to ruin it?

Next Big Thing - 2016 Development ?
Yeah, but at least that's not in the same country.

2014 Season
One thing I thought about today - oh, what a difference not selling fastrack makes! Even on one train, the queues actually moved today! The park would be a much better place without that godforsaken system!

Samurai
It'll probably save more disappointment if it's closed, it ran appallingly last season.

Next Big Thing - 2016 Development ?
Possibly, they'd have to be careful not to copy Valhalla though.

Next Big Thing - 2016 Development ?
We don't want another disaster/horror themed coaster, we've had two in a row now and it would be nice for them to use a different approach to their next coaster. A B&M hyper would be good in my opinion, I'd rather have a woodie though!

2014 Season
It wasn't busy at all today, if all rides had been open and on full capacity I doubt there would have been many queues at all.

Scorpion Express
Much better than I was expecting (from what I've seen, haven't seen it in person yet). It's a shame that they didn't rebuild the rockwork but I'm pleased with what we have got.

False advertising seems to happen in all UK parks, not really sure why.

Thorpe Park Trip Reports
Annual Pass Day - Saturday 15th March 2014 Time in Park: 12:00 - 5:00pm Rides Closed (all day): Slammer, Samurai, Zodiac. RIDECOUNT: The Swarm x5 Nemesis Inferno x4 Stealth x1 Colossus x1 X x1 (Love the changes!) Saw x1 Rumba Rapids x1 Very good day, there were a few issues but it's to be expected on the first day of the season. I avoided the flats as they were either running poorly or closed, Rush in particular looked rubbish. We experienced a hilarious breakdown on The Swarm, on the first break run it virtually ground to a halt and we were left hanging off the last corner (we were in row 2), it was quite funny! Saw was running absolutely dire, no better than it was at the end of last season. The park seemed to have a really good, relaxed atmosphere today. Music wise it could have been better though - I was rather hoping for the entrance music back! Also, the Canada Creek playlist wasn't playing (playing some random jungle sounds instead) so that area lacked the feel it usually has. WTTP radio also seemed to be less songs, more adverts so I'm not sure if they are being a bit stingy with the royalties? Overall it was a brilliant day even with the flaws, the park wasn't very busy and I was very impressed that they extended to 5pm.

Park Music
I think that The Noise should only play where there otherwise wouldn't be any audio apart from special events.
