ONE SWING!! That is not even worth going on unless you get to stay on for another ride...
-
Peaj please can you add me as a maybe 'plus 1' as that is the only chance I've got of coming to the meet
-
You can get 2-4-1 from coca cola(you have to collect 5 points)You can get them off Kellogg's cereal packets You can buy 2-4-1 online through coca cola and KISS FM I don't think this Wednesday should be too busy as so far this Easter the park has been quite empty however X will generate long queues due to it being on a two train operation and really popular!
-
I guess I will have to be a maybe- if I can get a 'plus 1' to come with me who wants to join the meet then I'm a yes, however I'm not sure my friends particularly want to meet up with TPM
-
Just to tell you guys, you have until THURSDAY to cast your votes before the poll is closed- any additional votes after closing time will not be counted but may still be charged Thanks for all your votes guys! Flying circus isn't doing too well at the moment! I can give a clue of the next ride to be polled soon, just watch this space here: This extreme ride orbits you around it's axis, it will make you so dizzy you will need to take a taxi (home instead of walking because you won't be able to walk sorry for the rubbish clue)
-
I got so freaked out about youtube closing forever except when I clicked view full description it came up with 'happy April fools'
-
I'm sure if this was real thorpe would have posted something on their website by now
-
You got me there I am visiting on the 15th and didn't want it to be closed
-
Do you have to be a O2 customer?
-
Well maybe you haven't been on a busy day then? Thorpe think they can get away with it when the rest of the park is busy. This is a day where Colossus was 90 mins, saw 60 mins and nemesis inferno 80 mins. They thought by advertising stealth at 60 mins they could increase fastrack sales. That day they had people selling fastrack at all of the big rollercoasters.
-
I can't believe it either- the staff at the entrance push and push for you to buy the fastrack aswell!
-
I'm sure this has been brought up before but do you get early rider at chessie if you are an annual pass holder? It's not on the merlin pass website but I was just wondering because my friend told me that you did!
-
I assume thorpe are looking into ERT for crash pad guests and are seeing how it works? If they do introduce ERT I hope they give it to annual pass holders aswell
-
I have decided that I will post one of these polls up every Friday. I will try and keep to this schedule as best as possible. After a series of rides have been posted and voted, I will calculate the percentage of who thinks that ride should be at thorpe park. The ride with the highest percentage will be voted as the ride TPM want at thorpe most
-
Do you think Easter Monday(if there is such thing- monday 1st) will be as empty as Good Friday?
-
Last year stealth was displaying 60 minute queue and it turned out to be 5 mins. There was a fastrack lady at the entrance of the ride telling us to buy fastrack because the queue was between 45-60 mins **sigh** merlin...
-
**trying to be as modest as possible** I actually think my idea is rather good here, although it is a bit too over dramatic, I think a horror themed X could actually work. The name is just random and I think my theme actually fits well with the old name. If you guys don't like it, I will just design my own 'no way out', as described in thrill palace in future. Only those who are nice to me get free entry
-
For a start, I would like X to be updated again, maybe in 2015 or something just to keep it fresh! I would like to rename it back to its real name of X NO WAY OUT and the ride would make it seem like there is truly no way out. You queue outside in modern railings(a bit like the ones used for samurai). There is a big queue line area located towards the right hand side of the pyramid(not exactly sure where though) and after a wait, you get disptached into a big group. You enter the murky darkness of the corridors of X, not knowing what is lurking round the corner, and you suddenly plunge into a mirror maze, not an ordinary mirror maze, a LIVE mirror maze. Actors jump out at you, you scream, you try to run, but there is no where to run, you are lost in X. Only the bravest will survive, and make it through part 1 of X, you think it is all over, but there is more to come! Actors grab your bags from you(not literally) and you are pushed into a room with several doors, the room is spinning around you, you don't know which door to take, and the wrong door will bring you TORTURE! If you make it through that room(which everyone eventually does) you get shoved onto a carriage, no ordinary carriage, but a two sided carriage! You plunge into a world of mysterious flashes and fog and you beleive there is truly no way out of the horrible torture. Oh, and did we mention, YOUR SPINNING THE WHOLE TIME? You stop, you think the torture is about to end, you think your life will be gone and this pain will be released. Actors grab you from the carriage, pull you, take you to a torture chamber, but they accidentally let go! You run, you run as fast as you can! You have escaped X no way out!
-
Does anyone know if the outside queue area has been updated? I hated queueing outside for the old X because it looked purely like a mini-garden! I hope they have updated it! I do think in future we will get music playing in the whole pyramid and on ride photos re-installed, thorpe will see how the photos go and if they don't succeed they will get rid of them, like they did on detty.
-
It looks pretty dull to me, I will be waiting till the hype dies down and there are 0 min queues again: Thorpe have written a description about X which it is not, you are meant to travel through tunnels of colour changing light but instead all you do is go around the track with a few lights flashing around. This is NOT what I was expecting and seems like a total let down. I will ride it but I have a big feeling that backwards was so much better. I don't see why thorpe could have not kept if backwards and added lights, that way it would be a good experience with cool lights, but this experience is nothing at all special. I have a feeling people will ride it once, get bored and then the queues will be back to what they used to be!
