Detonator has now been confirmed to be open tomorrow, the last day before angry birds opening. Because of this I am guessing Detonator will not have a re theme. When the park closes I assume they will put up a new sign, stating that the ride is now called Detonator: Bombs away. I also assume that there will be a new theme tune for Detonator, and new announcements but obviously this is not confirmed. There was a problem with the speakers on Detonator so they had to play the theme very quietly, not sure if this has been fixed yet? I suppose they might of not planned to do anything for Detonator anyway, they might of just thought they needed to close of the area for the angry birds land works.

I'm going this Sunday. I am expecting it to be very busy though because Angry birds land is opening the day before and it's the start of the holidays.

A picture of one of the dodgems with the added vinyl. Looking pretty good

Could of been because it would of made too much noise.

I think it looks great! Can't wait to check it out now!

That's what I thought, it can be such a good ride but can be not so good as well. Oh well, it's been running really well recently which is great, and hopefully it can carry on throughout the season. Sent from my iPhone 5S using Tapatalk

Auto corrects not bad enough to change season to seaon or whatever it was Sent from my iPhone 5S using Tapatalk

I'll be down the weekend after, so hopefully it won't be too busy. I like the colours of the cars but like said, the blobs on the end don't look amazing. Overall the area looks pretty cool though, exited to see what it will end up looking like inside! Sent from my iPhone 5S using Tapatalk

Yeah whenever I've been, all I've heard is the cricket sound. The theme comes on for a couple of sound but then it cuts out and the cricket sound effects come on which is annoying. Indoor for me, it has been playing the dispatch but very quiet. During loading I've only heard the 07 music or nothing, where as last year was a new one. Anyway.... Colossus.....

I'm not saying you're point is invalid, but when it was running really well earlier on In the season when I rode it, it was running at full capacity, so it can run well when it's full up. It's literally just dependent how well it's running on the day I think. Sent from my iPhone 5S using Tapatalk

Agreed, the music on Inferno was amazing last year, and was always playing nice and loud. Shame that the new loading music was only there for a year. I noticed they had also given up with the que, just playing nothing or the weird cricket noises. Sent from my iPhone 5S using Tapatalk

It was indeed, so I have no idea why it was yellow. This is the old one.

A picture of the supports mentioned getting pained brown. Looks a lot better. I'm guessing they are going to put a know sign in there with Detonator: Bombs away written on it, seeing as they have left room for a bigger sign.

One of the trains is definitely a lot more smoother this year, which is great! Hopefully this will continue and also happen on the other train

It did haha, I edited it. I meant to put Saturday, no clue what was going through my mind when I wrote that haha.

She should be open real soon! :D

Construction update for air race! The ride is now in place! Looking good (Photos from TPW facebook)

I think there is early rider at Chessington, but only for hotel guests. I believe it's not all the rides either only Wild Asia, Dragons Fury and not sure what else.

I hate it so much when people put 'The' in front of rides like Stealth or Colossus. I know it's a really little thing but it really annoys me when I see it hahaa, it doesn't sound right saying 'The Stealth' so don't say it!

South Parks were lucky enough to have a sneak preview of all the angry birds land today, and posted a photo of the cinema. All the plastic has now been taken off the seats. Looks pretty good, and bigger than I expected (I never went in the previous cinema) and really looking forward to it now!

They did answer a question either on here or on Facebook saying a round a week before but they didn't confirm it, and I agree, it should be posted on there website with Slammer.

It's not just us on the forums that think Colossus is rough

I think the lap bars look good, they look better than the seat belts in my opinion, the seat belts look tacky.

Just to let everyone know, Detonator will be closed tomorrow and will be closed until next Saturday for it's 'retheme' as Thorpe Park have confirmed this on Facebook.

From photos on Facebook, it actually looks a lot bigger than I was expecting! Sent from my iPhone 5S using Tapatalk
