I don't blame them if it had been advertised as open but you get there to find out that it's closed. That would be the first thing I would do and hope to get some compensation like premium fastrack or something.
-
I think they are going to try and make a park similar to Alton Towers because Alton have many big thrill rides but also lots of family and childrens rides. I think this would work to get more money because at the moment if you want a park for the whole family (thrill seekers and smaller children) then if you live down south the only way is to travel up to Alton Towers because Chessington doesn't have the big thrills. So southerners would travel to THORPE PARK because they don't have to travel far and it would cater for the whole family.
-
Also because it's an older ride.
-
Could the second world first be that camera recording how you feel while you are riding that was said in the broadcast because I don't think thats been done before?
-
On that website it says it opens today.
-
I always eat at the Friend Chicken Co. I think removing McDonalds was a bad idea seeing as this is one of the most popular fast food places.
-
Your meant to have just one helper bust most of the time they will let you have 2 or 3 though.

I used to hate detonator but my friends wanted me to go on it and I wouldn't but then I saw that there were people younger than me going on it so I thought, I'm older so should be braver so I went on it. Now its one of my favourite rides at tp.
-
What make is that ride???
-
I know it wouldn't but IMO if this ride was ran on a cycle like that but looked less funfair like I think it would fit in.
-
I have been on Nemesis Inferno a few times without shoes, it really does depend on the member of staff because although from my experiences most of the time they let you go on without but then a few people have said that I have to wear them.
If having to wear shoes is health and safety then why are you allowed if you are wearing flip flops or something similar to take them off (I know its because they could fall off but what difference does it make if you have sturdy shoes and take them off)?
-
Whenever I go we just look at the actual queue because most of the time they are wrong (will have to see if the new ones are updated more frequently) and have queued a lot longer than what it sais leading to lots of complaints and getting lots of priority passes and in total 16 free ultimate fastrack wristbands for Thorpe and Alton.
-
Do you have any pictures of this???
-
I didn't think the temperature of the track affected the ride but instead the temperature of the lubrication in the wheels because if it was too cold the lube wouldn't 'work' and could cause the ride to stall mid-way through the circuit.
-
Yes, we do know what the shower tower is, thanks.
You might know what it is but that doesn't mean you know what it was like when it was on. 'we' implies everybody but If you look back you can see there was someone asking if it used to spray water like at Alton Towers.
Sorry if I ruined your day by posting that photo.

Just as the boat comes of the turning platform on the right there is what looks like a massive hose. I have only seen this working once, is this a thing that they turn on occasional in summer?? I can't find any pictures of it anywhere.
Here is the shower thing you were talking about:

I just think that if they were going to rename a ride they would change it to something that tells you a bit more about the theme. X no way out told made it sound like something that you would be trapped in and that was the theme of the ride but the name X tells you nothing, how are people meant to know that the ride is meant to have a clubbing theme?
-
I can't remember what it is but there is one out there because we needed to call them but they all costed 10p a minute so we googled something and found an old number they used to use so we tried it and it worked.
-
I went to Thorpe Park yesterday with a group of friends who had never been on x no way out so we went on X and they couldn't stop saying how good it was and we ended up going on it 10 times. I have been on X no way out and IMO X is a lot better, the only thing I wish that didn't change was the name because I think that X no way out was a good name for a ride like this and X IMO doesn't sound as good.
-
Imo the scaffolding doesnt look that bad because 13 has it so it connects both of the rides.
-
I remember ages ago on a video they showed heaters in the Colossus maintainance room and said they were to heat the oil in the wheels so it doesnt stall in cold weather.
-
They have reduced the amount of swings because of the weather and because it was struggling in the longer cycle.
-
Yeah around that its not worth queueing a long time. We made that mistake!!
-
I dont know. We complained because it wasnt going as high or for as long and they said about the swings reduced because its been struggling recently.

Any park if they have a ride closed that I wanted to go on I complain and most of the time get free fastrack/priority passes
