No stick to the normal - the second train broke down.

Right, it's running, it's running on two trains, so what have we now got left to moan about, oh yes, the paintwork.
Just go and ride it!

Ok, I'm an old f... but come on, do the study at school, they can't do it in queues at TP.

I like it, the queuing that is, in that the more people tied up with this item means less people in the ride queues, 'cos I wouldn't do a maze.

Everybody is entitled to their opinion and this forum gives them a chance to air it; the fact that there appears to be a bigger outcry about SRQ is that it is the SRQ users that are opining here.
 
Merlin are in the money making business, and when they started charging for car parks (what choice for people at AT?) they proved they are in the "money grabbing" business - and that is my opinion.

It was impressive last Friday, I could have had a bath in the tunnel.

Best Wishes to you all for 2015, and may you get the ups and downs that you want.

Agreed - very sad.
 
Due to the weather forecast for the last day of the season being brilliant, I decided to leave everything else and go over for it.
Surprisingly not massive crowds.
 
Some pleasant encounters, including meeting and riding with TPM members briefly, riding Stealth with a lad who broke his 150 rides for the season, let's not go into figures, another TPM member on his 312th, meeting some familiar members of another club and riding with them a few times. Riding Stealth with other people that Merlin would get annoyed if I mentioned; on Stealth a lady who said she was pleased she ridden it with someone who could calm her, but would never ride it again, and seeing the horse loose on the platform several times.
 
A great finishing day, a bit of a party atmosphere, and whilst riding ......Stealth, seeing loads of fireworks in the dark at least for an hour.
 
Thanks Thorpe Park.

Today, probably my last chance to do any riding this season, night shift tonight, so I went to TP. Luckily for me, Stealth was working, only about 1000 people in the whole park.
Some of the queues were non-existent, so yes, I actually went on some other things to finish off my season.
Nemesis Inferno x 1
Slammer x 1 (only me on one side and two others opposite)
Colossus x 1
Saw, out of action during my extra-normal saunter
Vortex x 1
Rush x 1
SWARM x 1
X x 1
Stealth, more than one!
 
Total ride count - over 8
 
A nice day to be able to say cheerio and thanks to many staff members, and the rain held off, except for a light shower during the afternoon.

Methinks that if this is a ride, in the dark, going forwards, then in a few years time they'll put the lights on  and turn the seats round.

Love that line.."The court was told Padgett worked in telesales but was between jobs."

Apparently he knew he had a condition, no fault has been found with the ride. I hope he recovers.
