  1. My 2013 Regular parks Blackpool Pleasure Beach (Home Park) (Season pass) Thorpe Park Lightwater Valley Alton Towers Chessington Uk Parks that I would like to go/haven't been before: Oakwood Drayton Manor Fantasy Island (Not been for years) Foreign Parks Disneyland Paris (Done Jan 2013) Port Aventura (September) Warner Bros Madrid (Maybe) Parque de Attractions Madrid (Maybe)
  2. Have you tried at any point in 2012 to get on the ride during the summer it was closed for over a month for "Essential maintenance" it was plagued with downtime to a point future orders have been cancelled and Merlin refusing to use the said company again... This been the main reason they have decide not even bother moving it to the new home of the dungeon with space also been an issue due to it's specially built spec for the current location... Someone that speaks sense...
  3. Very much looking forward to the 2013 season! (SW7,W&G,Zufari) :P

    One problem it's now Red track & Blue Supports plus it's current owners Furuvik (Sweden) wouldn't be to pleased with the decision
  5. Why? The decision to get rid of a ride that is just over 1/2 years shows there's clear issues with it interms of downtime etc...
  6. Just to throw it out there, when SAW was shut for three days the staff in turn took the time to go into the ride areas and clean (inside and out) as I recall going to the drop zone to clean around the rubble. The staff do clean as well as stand around. But you've got to consider when you see five people stood outside Stealth, there's at least three other members of staff doing something else. Same with Inferno, when there's two out the front, there's two more cleaning somewhere or sometimes even helping Engineering by putting bars down on cars or something. Until you've physically been there and done it you cannot punch at the staff, they do as requested of them. Bearing in mind you can say all you like about litter picking Fury's final turn, or cleaning Stealth's lake, the ride has to be locked off / the action has to be pre-passed by higher authority to do it for safety regulations.

  7. This is correct, Formerly known as Cyclone at Drayton Manor often it was suggested it was sold due to the noise complaints by locals on the note of zodiac I wish they would theme it like the old Zodiac was...Looked a lot better for the area and less out of place

    No, far the opposite of that it's having work done on it ahead of the summer events... The Situation with X is just disappointing to be honest been a fan of this ride and slowly watching it fall apart is not a good thing, Personally I think they should re-theme the ride... Thorpe's indoor attraction line-up is shocking to say the least and there's no rides to take cover from the weather conditions removing X will leave the indoor attractions list even smaller and that's simply not good enough!
  9. Going today...if anyone is there today meet me at AP at 9.30 or if you see me on park say hello
  10. Great Report Luke... Liking the new look Revolution & Valhalla... & Glad you had a great time. The Tower Circus really is a must for people who visit the tower it's the longest running show out of the west end and even for non-circus fan's it's a great show. Thanks for taking the time out to do the report Jonny
  11. Wow Great Photo's Jack Couldn't wait to go in September...Amazing View from Khan Lift
  12. Voted No, Am not a fan of these rides, Yes there fun and alot of people enjoy them however I don't think a topspin would suit Thorpe...
  13. Same Mer, Ian came in few minutes before saying that everyone would be kicked because he's running an update...
  14. Feel the odd one out here but I actually really like the ride..Love the atmosphere,station and general theming... I never went on the ride pre bubbleworks so couldn't comment on the old version of the ride.
  15. Great Report there James,Germany for me is a must in the future only ever heard positive things about there parks...Thanks for taking the time to post your report

    Can you back this statement up with facts?I disagree that everything person who goes on X doesn't find it thrilling I would go as far as saying that's a ridiculous statement to make to be honest
  17. Am a big fan of both rides...But am with Josh on this and I actually prefer Spinball a bit more than fury...However that's not to say I find them both very enjoyable and overall under-rated coasters
  18. What's a hell of a random question, Without doubt am sure they've turned someone away
  19. Wow, That video was crap! ;)Couldn't say I've been on Cycle 6 on Samurai for a while now
  20. After stopping in the one in Uttox before big no,no!...I would go with Ashbourne to be honest or stay in the Uttox Premier Inn's which seem nicer than Travelodges going off experience..Whatever the date will defo be there
  21. I find both rides rough however Colossus in my eyes is just horrible it's a marmite ride you either love it or hate it...Don't get me wrong I like Saw but the headache at the end some what ruins the experience
  22. Couldn't say I've been on one with OTSRs and Ive been on a fair few of these rides....Clearly the person is way to small, That's problem sometimes at Traveling fairs when they don't check heights and there normally isn't a recommend height for the rides on display either

    MASH-UP 2012

    Interesting Event...
  24. I Voted Excellent...Great addition to the park and love the fact every seat provides a totally different experience.Very rerideable and love the ThemingWell Done Thorpe
  25. Clearly the Issue with Rush is far greater than expected... I noticed at the weekend it was testing but didn't get any more than a single swing out of it...
