  1. I have never been to a Summer nights, but I wouldn't not want it to be really dead like Dean just explained. But then again, I wouldn't want it too busy. The maximum I'd like to wait realistically is 1/2 trains to be honest, as you are paying for no queues.

    Slammer

    Slammer defiantly needs another batcher in order to get higher throughputs. They defiantly had another batcher last year who batched people while the ride was in operation?
  3. Wow that does sound really good, What are the queues like? Looking forward to trying it later on in the year! Never went to a Summers night last year
  4. A stage has now been put up, does anyone know why? Is it for Summer nights? (Photo from TPG)

    Slammer

    The thing is though, It shouldn't be taking 10 minutes to offload, load and check restraints should it?
  6. I'm not surprised at all to be honest haha. On my visits this year I've seen very minimal breakdowns, the only rides that I've seen break down a lot this year is Rumba and Rush.

    Slammer

    I really want to know the reason for this, I don't get why they can't.
  8. Okay, well I'm very jealous of those people that got roll backs. Shame that Stealth is closed during busy times though, they must be getting loads of complaints. I just assumed it was during testing that the rollbacks happened as every time I checked the app it said closed.

    The Banning Game

    Banned for double banning
  10. I believe it was closed all day, so this was during testing.
  11. It's a shame they got ride of that, only ever got to see it once but it was great! Couldn't imagine it being great in the winter though
  12. Did it open today at all? Would love to be on a rollback so much!
  13. I've never heard it, I just thought they didn't play it. But I've never actually queued for Storm Surge. I'll only ever go on it if it's just re opened or it has no queue. Do they play it in the station? Never heard it there
  14. Look's like the next trial dates will be with some flats now, and all of the coasters. Noticed they've taken the Swarm backwards and Stealth pole position away, not sure how it worked out? Will be interesting to see how some of the lower throughput rides will work out, and the flats, and just the fact that the majority of the rides on park are using it. Will probably will regret saying this , but I hope they do it next Wednesday, never had a chance to experience Reserve N' RIde.

    Slammer

    Are they batching people through to the airgates while the ride is in operation? I know that last year they didn't really do it, but that was probably because it was dead.
  16. Looking forward to riding Slammer soon, it's been so long <3

  17. Last year pretty much every visit I saw it break down at least once, but this year it's been pretty good. Also the Smiler has also been good this year by the sounds of it, it hasn't had a full day closed this year yet and during the whole weekend I was there I did not see it go down once, and I was checking ridetimes on my phone a lot. I'm sorry, but I would not call the Smiler smooth, especially for a coaster than is just over 1 year old.
  18. I doubt it would be down because was rough, if there was something wrong with a car they'd take it off and carry on normal operation.
  19. I agree. They could of at least made it look like Storm Surge. Would of looked great with the track yellow, blue and red and the supports just left grey. Oh and obviously take away the marmaliser and don't play the theme music.
  20. Noticed this on both days that I went this year, the queue was about half an hour. Most people were in 2's, the queue would of been so much quicker if they were filling them up. At Thorpe we got put with people at about a 5-10 minute queue, which I think is a good thing. Same with the Flume, but by the time it was our turn we had to go with people, after it breaking down a few times making the queue massive.

    Fright Nights 2014

    Let's hope so anyway I think it a shame though that CCR never returned as a ghost train as planned, think that would of been really good. I'm glad that they spent that money on Slammer though
  22. I think Samurai has been running quite well this year to be honest, it's been running a lot quicker and it's much more intense (obviously not as much as other topscans ) . Don't know how long this will last though Like EC said, I wouldn't really like to see another fun fair ride at Thorpe, and I really couldn't see a Tivoli Extreme fitting in at Thorpe, although it does look like a great ride. Would love to see another flat replace it in the future though, instead of using the space for something else.
  23. That's good, it's been a while. Has it got the queue line audio yet?

    FlowRider

    You can now book it online - https://www.thorpepark.com/events-experiences/events/flow-rider/ I guess if there are spaces on the days as well you just go there and book it, then go back later.
