  1. I shall also be there during the whole day to join in the fun of the adventure before ERT.
  2. Sounds a very interesting ride and experience there. Isn't there a ride though in one the six flags called acrophobia where the seats tilt or something but none the less looks very interesting ride there.
  3. I would like to see an area for past rides, review area and also more media and interactive stuff.
  4. Third time running now this has happened. I think towers should consider to rename the ride The Staller :rofl:

    Dreams

    Wow, I had one fanboy meets everything else dream last night where I was essentially at Alton Towers with TPM and going around the areas and for some reason, I had to play a piano in the towers Chappell or something (Iam a pianist and also do something similar for my job) and then lost track of TPM. When I almost found TPM again which I was now in the Dark Forest, another group of people I know (from my community play) suddenly appeared and distracted me from the group. I forget what else happened but I surely woke up not long after. Call it weird or random but that's pretty much my fanboy/weird/clashing dream where I'm at towers and many things happen at once.

    Logger's Leap

    For me, Loggers needs the following, Repainted station building and new signage Some way of making the queue better themed and improved experience Polishing the ride up completely Completely rebuilding of the tunnel Additional theming between both lifts Other than that, not much needs to be done to improve the ride.
  7. Use the idea?Yes Use the ride manufacturer? Surely not Maybe this a hint Thorpe will be getting a hyper coaster (or similar type) for their next coming coaster and also add a dip in the ground feature.
  8. As I also have the capsule, this wont really affect me unless go with mate without a pass.
  9. I wonder if this also affects MOS nights too and Bar360 remains open until the event begins.
  10. Yeah, the giant hose feature was used when I went on the ride last a week and a bit ago at the mini meet where it was turned on. It got me and everyone else onboard soaked.
  11. Double Post but its been at least a week. In terms of the most missed rides at Thorpe, here's the final results. The winner of the poll was Wicked Witches Haunt with 11 votes is officially the greatest missed Thorpe ride. The ride held great nostalgic memories to many people including myself in which the ride was greatly themed. It's a great pity the fire destroyed this ride because if it aren't, there would be an extremely high chance the ride would still exist however it would most like like tomb blaster but with ghosts and the like. The Flying Fish (original) was voted second and though shrubbery is now noticeably better on the new one it is still not near as amazing as it was on the old with its head choppers, fountain and arguably better looking train also. Other is the third popular answer with variants including Space Station zero and a various mixture. Fungle Safari, Tropical travels, Calgary Stampede,Octopus Gardens and Bumperboats received no voters but that doesn't mean they're not missed as at least two of those are believed to be missed by many and without these removals we would have Inferno, Samurai or StormSurge ( :/) at the park.

    Europa Park 2013

    I would really love to visit that place, the theming and rides look amazing.
  13. I will be on park from opening if anyone's visiting during the main part of the day.
  14. I think Thorpe should still focus on thrill rides but open up their target audience to families. Next year I would like to see CCR return (who knows) with an enhanced experience, loggers polished up and a new map design as the current one is horrible. I think Thorpe and Chessie should get a bit more of an even mix thrill and family rides.
  15. And build a rock structure around it like when it was at the park before Camelot.
  16. Cant wait for Fright Nights 2013. In terms of what appends it would be nice if they could push closings to 10:30 as it would not just give more ride time but also benefit Crash Pad Users where they could even link in some horror rooms or something there. On another factor, it would be nice if they lifted the charge from the passing.
  17. If there's any park that's absolutely ruining they're rides right now it's definately Chessington. It's amazing how two of their best themed rides have been transformed in to their worst for 2013. Seriously the ride now looks like it belongs somewhere like Fantasy Island or Pleasure Land now.
  18. Double post (how wrong of me) but here's a photograph fromThemepark guide showing the current appearance of poor mine train. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=502390356482935&set=a.166428706745770.47984.163052343750073&type=1&theater
  19. Chessington badly need a roller coaster or two that exceed a 1000 throughput but with apparent lack of room and planning issues, this sadly won't happen for a while or ever. They should at the least bring back train 3 on Vampire as then the ride would often eat queues at a quite fast pace.
  20. I was wondering what had happened to the ride recently I. Terms of its theming deconstruction. Must admit it surely can't look great at the moment and hopefully the mountain structure will return soon. On the slightly off topic of the fish, the ride is currently looking rather nice now as some shrubbery has now stared growing around the ride.
  21. http://forum.maniahub.com/blog/34/entry-436-thorpe-park-mini-meet-250513/ Here's my blog of the trip report of the day. Also forgot to mention, credit goes to Mer for the use of the group photo on the page too.
  22. That's good to hear as those seat belts were a bit confusing to sort out. Hopefully wont in any way affect the throughput of the ride.
  23. The main reason I didn't put X in the poll is because though the ride has received quite a lot of changes (trains,forwards,theme (to a degree) and lighting) is mainly because the ride still exists. Feel free to vote other though if there are any attractions missing in the poll with the stating of the attraction below.
  24. They are certainly doing a lot of tampering round with the ride ATM. I have no idea when this ride will be open but surely it'll be open by September .
