Taxi Around The Thorpe Park
A taxi to where from where? if I am using Heathrow, I would not try a taxi from there, but have a phone number for one at home. If you want a local, look at Chertsey. If you are looking to have transport to and from the Park, there are plenty of buses.

Blackpool Pleasure Beach
It's certainly going to be an interesting flight through The Big One, then to return.

First trip to Blackpool Pleasure Beach
Great report, I normally lose my voice after hollering too much, but you must have lost yours through the screaming? I love the face of that kid in front of you on RMT!

The Ghost Train is definitely worth it, especially as it has it's real ghosts as well, supposedly.

2017 Season General Discussion
Apparently this has not gone down well with the engineers who have more strict controls placed on them by the limits of the anemometers, then have to "take the blame" from the guests. The forecast of the weeks weather was why I went yesterday (Tuesday) and proved correct. Free ticket sounds good, but I don't know how annual pass holders benefit.

Thorpe Park Hotel
A hostel is a great idea, but sadly there is little encouragement around Heathrow due to the influence of hotels in the area. Hostels are brilliant, used them all the time whilst in New Zealand and they don't have to be flash, just functional.

Perhaps they thought as it was VR, they could experience it anywhere?

Stealth
Nemesis Inferno is a great ride, intense and flowing, love the front, like the back.

I am thankful that we all have totally different tastes, there'd be one heck of a queue if we didn't!

I gave up counting years ago - it's been at least twice this year though.

TPM Fright Nights Meet 2017 - Don't Dead Open Inside
Just hope there are no trainee vets on here at the moment!

Stealth
On Stealth today I rode with an "older" guest who celebrated his 100th ride on Stealth since it's opening, he's been counting. Nice to share his happy moment.

Things You've Overheard at Parks
On Stealth today, I heard a female say "I think I've strained my t*ts through screaming so much", I only looked once.

Excuse me, I'm having a chat to a dead wasp!

Stealth
Oh lucky me, I attracted a passenger on Saturday last, luckily up the outside of my leg on my shorts as I rode Stealth. The darned wasp was not best pleased and let me know on the brake run - the wasp did not survive for questioning.

Heide Park
Each to their own, as with all rides. I personally have ridden the Heide Park Colossus and found it to be a great ride, with plenty of airtime; these large wooden coasters are "cathedrals" and it would be a shame to see that go. TP's Colossus, a totally different beast, is a great ride and intense enough for a lot of people, and for those with strong neck muscles to keep the head against the restraint to avoid the ear banging.

Park Operations
You think so? that would be the most expensive "escort" price for that ride.

Education
It's been a lot less effort being weird.

Park Operations
Now there's a thing; if an over eighteen wanted to ride it repeatedly, then they could lease themselves out, let's see, fifty pence for five, times.......... Think I'll stick to the other rides.
