  1. Nemesis Inferno is expected to be down all day today with Stealth. Tidal wave is also yet to open. Thorpe really isn't having the best of luck with rides at the moment
  2. Where did you get this from? Was told capacity is 500 and I doubt it was £45million
  3. Do the headsets get cleaned after every use? I saw a sign in the queue about them getting cleaned but the day I was there as we were boarding the train people were still getting off, so I don't get how its possible for them to clean the headsets?
  4. 10/10 - Gorillaz - Feel good

    Slammer

    Where'd you see this? It closed at half 2 and didn't re open so would make sense

    Scarefest

    I wouldn't say so, they've never had more than 1 clown attraction at 1 of their parks, a lot parks/scare attractions have at least have 1 clown based attraction.
  7. Note that it doesn't normally open till at least half 11 anyway. I'm sure they'll open it today at some point.
  8. Thats what they were saying at this talk, if they develop this other island behind Swarm the plan is to connect it to Stealth, so basically this new island will connect Swarm and Stealth together.

    Logger's Leap

    Would be sad if loggers does go, by far my favourite water ride at the park. But personally I can't see it staying, would cost an awful lot to revamp. Could see the area being used for a major investment, take loggers, rocky and remainings of CCR out and they have a massive space to play with. Old town would be the best place for a woodie at Thorpe in my opinion, and if SW8 goes down well at Towers ya never know
  10. It was indeed - It did it every time I rode it, however once it was for really long. Surely they are going to have to come up with something else for hold ups as most people on my trains thought there was something wrong, unless of course over time there are less hold ups. Staff were very quick at getting everyone on though so I'm not sure how boarding could be sped up. Luckily all 3 times I rode I had a different character. I was expecting more changes though, they all said the story in pretty much the same way. Anyone know how many characters there are on the first journey? I know of at least 4

    I noticed that as well actually! That and it raising and lowering quicker are really noticeable changes. Opened at half 9 on Sunday - was shocked it beat 4 of the major coasters to opening. Go Slammer

    Vortex

    Noticed the single rider sign has gone from Vortex now, however they were still taking single riders yesterday.
  13. Nope thats Sunken Gardens, I'm sure the path if build would be wider than that
  14. When I had a talk from someone in the thrills workshop recently they were showing this image and telling us that is all owned by Thorpe park. He said its the likely area for there next big investment and they are keen to have a pathway from Stealth to create another 'circle'
  15. So went on the ghost train a few times yesterday for the first time and overall thought it was alright. The pre show and first train journey was very impressive, but thought it went downhill from there. I felt the evacuation part was a massive missed opportunity as it could've been done so much better. The whole evacuation and acting was very good, and so was the theming and sound, but the illusion itself was so obvious and wasn't well done. Like others have said, you can see its a light on a stick. Like a lot of people have said, the 2nd train journey was by far the worst part of the ride. The VR quality was awful and footage is so unrealistic. Also all 3 times I rode there was that stupid repetitive video for like 2 minutes while they are waiting to bring the train back in to the station. Everyone was taking there headsets off and saying it stopped working or it wasn't doing anything, so was very confusing. VR Having only used the Samsung VR before, I was really impressed with how comfy these were and the quality was a lot better. But for a brand new ride I was shocked to see the amount of broken headsets, and even with a load closed off people managed to get headsets that weren't working or didn't have sound. Like I've already mentioned the quality on the second video was no where near as good as the first, and it also seemed to be really buggy, with floating objects and VR not head tracking for a lot of one of my goes. From the pre show and first train journey, as well as the theming overall I think this attraction has really high potential. With improvements to the VR in the 2nd journey and improvements to the middle scene I would rate this a really good attraction.

    Walk up prices

    Nope same price all day
  17. Seemed to working on the catch car over the station and the engineer we spoke to didn't mention it but who knows Back on the website scroller now
  18. There was a lot removed by the Saw/Samurai area as well
  19. Stealth was closed all day today, there were no trains on the track/station and they were doing a lot of work to the launch over the station. Spoke to an engineer who reckons itll be asleep for at least a week.
  20. Doesn't look like Stealth will open today, there are currently no trains on the track and they are working on the launch in the station. Opened at 4 yesterday though so never know
  21. The doll is making an appearance tonight so it seems...
  22. So Stormzy has hired out the park next Tuesday after 7pm, and seems that all the rides will be open. Basically seems like another Summer Night. Details on how to enter here, however you must be over 18 - https://www.thorpepark.com/stormzy

    Colossus

    Believe its something to do with the lift hill, and seeing its still like it I doubt it can be fixed until winter maintenance.

  25. Doesn't this happen every day?
