Good that testing has started again! Toward the end of last month the lift cable had to be replaced, no idea why. Hopefully it will open very soon! http://www.pixelsattheparks.com/2014/07/20/falcons-fury-at-busch-gardens-tampa-cable-replacement-photo-update-from-7192014/

They did this last year with Vortex, but it was for everyone not just hotel guests. Shame it's only hotel guests now. Hopefully it's Rush or Vortex

Found a video of Vattenskidjon, never seen anything like it before, looks like a lot of fun. Would love somewhere in the UK to get something similar but can't see that happening!

The 'first to ride' for annual pass holders has been going on pretty much all season. The Fast track access for the first hour however is just for hotel guests, which I think has also been going on since the shark hotel opened.

Someone posted on here that it was 3 people at a time, so I just assumed it was 3 at a time. There are hour slots, so I think 10 people in one hour isn't worth it, you aren't going to get very long at all.

Hello Kitty Secret Garden is now open at the park and is looking really good! Haven't seen it in person but from this video it looks really well done, and it looks like a great area for kids. I also like it because it is something different at the park, they don't have any other rides apart from a Thomas train ride. Wish they had this when I was a kid and went to the park

Now that's actually a really good deal, something I will defiantly be getting this season if not next season. Glad there's actually finally an unlimited photo pass at a decent price

The Sun are giving away 2 free tickets to Thorpe Park like they did with Chessington and Alton Towers. All you need to do is collect tokens from the newspaper which starts tomorrow. It's well worth doing if you don't have an annual pass or have friends that don't have them. These are the dates you can pick from - Band Dates A September 3 - September 7, 2014 B September 8 - September 11, 2014 C September 12 - September 14, 2014 D September 15 - September 18, 2014 E September 19 - September 21, 2014 F September 22 - September 25, 2014 G September 26 - October 5, 2014 H October 6 - October 9, 2014 I November 3 - November 7, 2014

Well the 2 days I was there, my family just showed the friends and family ticket and they were aloud in no problem.

If you're talking about the friends and family tickets, yes

This sounds really fun. I've heard they did this on Detonator before (ages ago) and at the top you pass the cup around, when it then drops the person who has the cup will obviously be wet. This they did things like this more often, as it would be great fun. Would be entertaining to watch from queue lines as well.

Up to 10 people is ridiculous, thought it was only 3 people? Defiantly won't be trying this out in the summer then.

Zodiac was open for Summer nights? That's new. Maybe they just had extra staff?

Would be great to see it return though, especially at Summer nights and at Fright Nights!

I think the reason it was removed as the gas tanks were in Stealths area, so they needed to remove them for Stealth. Not 100percent sure though, someone correct me if that's wrong

Not saying you are wrong, but I don't think that was the case as a shortwhile after they were batching people in the air gates while the ride was in motion, and it was the same staff.

I have been on the Dodgems plenty of times on two different days, and every time I've queued. I've never seen anyone be forced to go in a two before so I don't understand why they were doing this?

When I went (last Wednesday) there was enough staff to batch while in operation, there were 2 in each consoles. But they didn't. Later on that day they did, but then they kept them 2-3 minutes behind the air gates and then 2-3 mins again before locking the restraints so they are defiantly slowing down operations for some reason.

Dun dun dunnnnn (From TPG)

When I went (last Wednesday) the music wasn't on, and there was also no music playing on the bride which is a shame. I would of liked to hear the new music with the video.

Colossus was on 1 train all day this time last week, and also had a very quick shut down in the morning. Not very good as it's a busy time, hopefully it will have it's other train back soon Well that's probably the most amount of shut downs I've seen for one day. I've noticed that Vortex has had quite a few shut downs/downtime recently.

I think it's good that all the rides are open in the same area. It was quite hard to go left (towards Nemesis) and right (towards the smiler) and get all of the rides done. The rides were more spread out. This will allow you to get all of the rides done in X sector, then go to another area for 10.

One of the first people I've heard to say you preferred the lighting last year

Happy Birthday Worthy Have a good day
