I didn't see it 'In action' but I saw it coming down, it took like 6-7 minutes to come back to ground level. Got a little bit of it on video.

I love detonator because it is the only ride that I get a sort of intense feeling. It feels a lot higher when you are up there haha. After it broke down in the after noon today, there was no theme tune for the rest of the day? Then it closed at half 4 for some reason, was on the last ride of the day just saying

Haven't seen the state of it, will have a look tomorrow. Maybe the park will try and get it open for opening day.

Sounds pretty disappointing to be honest seeing as they've spend all season trying to fix it, will try it out tomorrow

According to the theme park guide, yes, which is good to hear! Photo from Theme park guides facebook page. Chessington buzz has also posted a picture of it being tested in the morning, and it looks to me that it has new restraints! Photo from Chessington buzz' facebook page. Can't wait to get back on it now!

Thorpe park- Detonator, Nemesis Inferno, X (last seasons) and Rumba.

And it's closed... (surprise surprise) Can't really see a lot from the photo but it actually looks quite good! Photo from TPG's facebook page.

Slammer was being tested Yesterday, because a member of staff has posted a picture of it being tested on instagram. I have no idea what rides were open today but I have only seen pictures of coasters, so maybe only coasters were open today? Even if it was just coasters open today, they would still have signage up ready for the weekend so I doubt it will be open for the weekend.

When Colossus is running on only 1 train, I tend to hear "Please stand clear..." playing through the whole queue line but otherwise I hear the full theme.

TPG was on park today and posted a photo of Slammer, with the signage still not up and the bin blocking the entrance. Guessing I won't be riding my favourite flat on Sunday:'(

If I'm honest, I prefer the recent Colossus' music than the older one...

I like the look of the new map! But if it was my first time going to the park, I don't think I'd find it very helpful...

Did you previously have an annual pass? If so just use your old annual pass number and bring your old one on the day, and then either buy or collect your new one on the day. I have emailed Thorpe Park and they have confirmed with me that this is ok

Never got to ride it, but I could imagine strobe lines being really good in that area.I know it looks really unclear, but I could sort of imagine it. Don't understand why they got ride of them to be honest.

I don't see why it wouldn't be?

Well you have to be pretty stupid to not demand you to keep it open till 5

Yeah I thought it would stay the same because otherwise they would have to change the theme music and that, but would of been good if they did

New cycles? Are they a lot longer?

I hope so! People who went last year, was there any ques? If so how long roughly were they?

Yeah I thought so, thanks anyway!

I booked with my annual pass which runs out on the 28th of February because I'm not getting a new one till I'm there, I should be alright with that if I bring my old one shouldn't I?

This really annoys me! It pretty much happens at least once every time I go there.

Well with Thorpe Park dishing out their annual passes with a free fast track for only £48, I don't think many people won't have them anymore. I think one of the days should be for people with Merlin annual passes only.

Never been to an annual pass day because I always thought they were packed haha, but apparently last years wasn't to bad? I'm hoping to go on the 16th.

It's not hard to miss haha
