As others have mentioned, the area available governs the distance of the launch track, and therefore the achievable height off that launch, relatively speaking.
-
I can just see Slammer still hiding in there - words like "fingertips" and "skin of teeth" come to mind.

Hope the restraints work whilst it's on its side.

Hi Han, odd thing for most people is I don't count, and it is dependent on the team on the ride; it is a lot and I have a figure I use for last year. (interesting figures when the vertical distance is multiplied) New team this season, so have to do some work. (nuts I know)

Sorry this won't be helpful I believe that it was the contact office on the event page? https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/thorpe-park-passholders-members-preview-weekend-tickets-10290235371 Cannot find it in my email so I suspect I dumped it in anger. Planenut

That's very kind, thank you. Pluk, that is my aim, though I have already promised I must, I really must, have a look at other things.
-
Well I've now got myself booked and will see what happens on the day.

Sorry for the late reply, I emailed their "contact office" and that was the reply I got, I will hav e another look later this evening then, thanks.

What it must be like for the designers and park with apparently little restrictions from planning regulations - no chance that any Merlin park would get this in.
-
I know it won't bother the Merlin pass holders, but I was more than annoyed that as a Thorpe Park Annual Pass holder I will not get in on this.
-
This really looks a further great excuse to visit this park, one day soon I hope.

I think that if the Staines Road out of Chertsey became impassible then that would be TP cut off.
-
This is good news, more people in the shop - less people in the queue!

Ellie, I too am sorry that you have had to endure this, but remember that it is the behaviour of others that moulds our own character and proves that you are the better one. Well done, and look forward to the future.
-
Well it's not me, I will be working, so I hope you all enjoy your time together.

Indeed a Zaperla Air Race, quite a ride, and if you're ill, you'll be sharing it with everybody. http://www.zamperla.com/en/zamperla-details-rides-air_race_6

The Wild Mouse at BPB is brilliant, never mind it's history, it's such a clever design; short wheel base makes the corners spin further than the chassis and pushes one physically through extreme turns.

(cannot place this in General Discussion) On the Thorpe Park site now, TP Annual Passes £55.60, that's gotta be good value if you don't envisage going to any other Merlin attraction, or even doing two others at full price....? http://thorpepark.com/prices/annual-passes.aspx?tabnum=2

Great pics. I would love to climb Stealth's top hat. wouldn't it be interesting to see a train totally stripped down, as we only really see the dressed item.
-
I would prefer the original format of sound system, though I think it's about time we had a "second tape". I see what people mean by the illumination in the dark for the Fright Nights, very pleasing.

This darned rain was supposed to have been clear by 0800, now I'm having another cup of tea before I leave, to tackle the hoards.
