Went on I'm a celebrity this morning, overall I thought it was alright but I want another run through later. The them sing and everything was excellent, was pretty amazing. Even had moving trees and stuff. The trials I thought were dreadful, holey moley was pointless, you put your hand in a hole for 10 seconds with nothing in. Chambers of horror was alright, we only got asked 2 questions but nothing happened to me, the light just went off, didn't even know if it was right of wrong. My brother got oats dropped on him though. Celebrity cyclone would of been better if it had the cargo net, with no instructions we just ran up a hill and went down the slide.

Colossus' train is still of park, but they are getting it back tomorrow!

That's great, it was down this morning. Saw a post on Facebook today and they plan on having Samurai open tomorrow as well.

So Detty, Slammer and Vortex are all still closed and Samurai has been closed the last 2 days now as well. Shame that quite a lot of flats have been having problems this year, Detty and Vortex are normally pretty reliable, and Samurai doesn't normally die this early

That's annoying, hopefully it'll open at half 9.

I'm going this Sunday too Every weekend I went last year I was let in around half 9, so I assume it'll be the same (I haven't been this season yet) Only problem is I have to get my annual pass in the morning, but the annual pass building may not open till 10? Anyone know roughly what time it opens or the earliest someone's seen it open?

Doesn't sound good, Vortex is normally pretty reliable. Saw a picture of them working on restraints a couple of days ago so it looks like it's got multiple issues. While you were on park today, did you see the current state of Detty? Heard its in pieces.

There was a 4th, Samurai has been closed all day today. I'm going on Sunday, and expecting it to be pretty quiet to be honest. Every Time I've been on the last day of the holidays it has been dead, so hope this Sunday is the same!

Theme park guide posted on Facebook today that the Cargo net section in the celebrity cyclone has been removed. I'm yet to have been in the attraction as well, but the people that have, why would this of been removed?

It's good to be different [emoji6] The swarm side 1 (right of the track) or side 2 (left of the track)

At least they've got it open Think it's a better idea that it's allocation only to be honest, as queues would be absolutely ridiculous while on 1 train.

^ Agreed. My favorite flat, personally. It's the only one left in the world, it probably doesn't have much long left so I'd ride it while you can Most people either love it or hate it.

That would be good. I'm not sure how you sign up for it, but if you do via your website it would be cool if you could select which rides you wanted, how often etc...

I would personally find that useful, and I don't see why not seeing as it's completely free.

Oh right. When I looked at the website it just said Rumba and Samurai will be open for Easter, so maybe that was soon changed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't believe they said Slammer will open for Easter? They only confirmed that Samurai and Rumba will open for Easter, and they managed to open them both a week before. About Slammer, I've heard rumours that it's getting signed off this month so it shouldn't be too long. All the scaffolding has been removed, so I imagine testing and staff training will begin soon.

After recent contact with Thorpe Park, I found this at the bottom of there email pretty interesting... 'Special events including Fireworks' Not sure if the park are planning a fireworks event for this year, but I think one would be great! I never went to the firework event they used to hold, but Alton's one looks great. This obviously isn't confirming anything, but they didn't have that last season when contacting them. Also worth noting they have Easter, and there isn't an Easter event at the moment.

Saw was the only thing that closed yesterday because of wind, guess it depends on the wind direction really as last year the Swarm was closed most of the day because of wind, and Saw wasn't. About Vortex being closed, I think it's suffering restraint issues as a photo on Facebook shows some of the backs of the seats have been taken off. I believe a few seats were closed when it first opened as well? (Photo from Theme park incorporated)

That's not bad, will give it a go Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

New Colossus total wipe-out type game is open now, video here - https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=794098663978768&set=vb.163052343750073&type=3&theater I assume it's a paid attraction. Anyone know how long you get and how much it is? Looks pretty fun so will give it a go next time I go

A Merlin Annual Pass entitles the individual pass holder to buy up to five discounted entry tickets for family and friends per individual attraction per visit (excluding Coca-Cola London Eye and any secondary attractions, including but not limited to the Alton Towers Water Park).

X is on the same team as Stealth, Inferno, Rumba and Angry Birds 4D this season Don't think Colossus is on 2 yet as it reached 90 minutes on the weekend Agreed it is a nightmare, hopefully it'll be on 2 trains for Easter. Colossus was a lot better last year than previous years for 2 train opp, so hopefully that'll continue.

Staff aren't meant to tell you what's wrong with the rides, but some do. Back to having 4 rides closed, not good. X closed around half 1 yesterday, seems to be very unreliable this season and keeps opening pretty late. Don't think I had ever seen X down before this season

So Detty and Vortex have both been down the last 4 days now... anyone know whats wrong with them? Hopefully they'll be open again for the holidays.
