No idea but hopefully we'll be going somewhere like Harvester or Nandos. Did hear there was a creams openin in Staines later this month but not sure when. I think there's often after meet meals afterwards (except Fright Nights & MOS)
-
Still a likely maybe, But I won't arrive until after 12:30pm

Is 'very' specific on the THORPELAW

I think it's Scurvydog productions (or something like it) that are creating the thrming elements for this attraction. They've also done additions at the other parks too (maybe not towers) and everything so far looks very nice to say the least.
-
For something I absolutely hated to start off with this is actually very well themed so far. Dare I say this could be the best new (merlin) attraction for 2015?

Yet another after effect of the tomb blaster incident (which was done by park neglect) Joins the Ramesis new cattle pen queue & falls.

For a park that claims to be world class (which is in some cases), this is a very disappointing move from the park. Opening hours for a park of this size should be more like this: Weekdays during term time 10-5 Weekends during term time 10-6 School holidays easter 10-7 School holidays summer 10-8 Scarefest 10-9

Really liking the look of this area so fat, can't wait to see all of it when it opens.

I think for a park the size and popularity of Towers it is unacceptable to do budget cuts after another apparently successful park season [have the 2014 figures properly appeared yet]. They should be increasing their this instead of cutting it, or at least keeping it the same. People complain about Thorpe having rides down and everything, but at least they're trying to get everything up and running again and I've even heard of budget increases in some areas of the park too.
-
Yeah, I think zodiac used to do at least 5 full 360 rotations. Nowadays we're lucky if we get one full rotation.

A Well and truly deserving winner of [what one could say was a very long] Legoland ride game. It's a great family ride where even nearly 20 years since originally opening remains the greatest ride at the park with the likes of Viking River Splash, Laser Raiders, Atlantis and the rest not quite living up to it's greatness.
-
I also added towers ruins (following what happened) and that came 12th. Beat the mine train anyway.

I think the problem with Thorpe is, a lot of their rides are just unreliable. Slammer has been a maintenance & reliability nightmare since the beginning (although when it works, it works very well). Samurai dare I say has been even more unreliable than slammer lately and I'll be staged if it still exists in over three years times considering its died the last few fright nights at least. Tidal Wave seems to get a problem every blue moon and when it does it takes it down for a while, Rumba- judging how long it's been closed compared to usual does make it look like something major has happened preventing it from operating. Saw is just being Saw. I just doesn't seem to be as reliable as the other coasters (which even have their own issues) or even its cousins Speed & Rage etc.

Can safely say this coaster now definitely looks intamin, the track gave it away.
-
It's good but it's not quite Swarm (though Nrmy is still the superior ride (just))
-
8 rides closed on the park's opening day including two majors after 4.5 months? All I can say is,

It's the beginning of the end guys- Photo from Thorpe Park Mania.

Hmmmmmmmm Lots of trees being removed around the Forbidden Valley, Blade no longer listed on ERT, Blade no longer the map. Sounds like Blade is going to me, plus it would sound most likely SW8 would be built (atleast partly) on the site of this ride (and Ripsaw), seeing that they have to be very clever these days to get anything granted (unless it's lucky enough to be an area where planning isn't needed), especially as the park has its a share of 'local' haters and gets pressurised more and more of the need for a relief road to the park every year. Can see this season being Ripsaw's last as SW8 is planned for 2017 and next year will likely be a construction site.

Work gave three new pieces of music last minute, but was still able to learnt nd play them ok in the end .
