It does kinda make the ride look worse, however rameses is a great ride in itself and I'm sure having a big whole and being able to see loads of wires isn't putting people off going on it As for having the hole, I sware all topspins have the whole in the bottom of the seating area(is that what it's called?) so I think it is nothing to do with maintenance, I'm not sure though!

To be perfectly honest lots of people like thorpe, hence it being really busy. Also some people(like me) live miles away from the towers so it is totally unfair to just make meets there! I really think you have rushed into this post as this comment seems well and truly unfair.

Wait was the video meant to be scary or something? It didn't make clear sense to me at all except it showed the eyes spinning: maybe something to do with the secret element!

To be honest, I went to thorpe park around the same time as you this year and I didn't have any particular problems! The opening hours were 10am-6pm(I think they are really short hours!) During the day, Colossus did hit a queue of 2 hours but apart from that most rides queues were under an hour! I got to the park early so I could hit a few rides without queues straight away! We went straight to saw and got a walk on ride! We then hit nemesis inferno which was also walk on! I don't remember the whole of my day but here are my queue times: Nemesis inferno- x3(twice 0 mins, once 80 mins!) Saw x3(twice 0 mins,once 60 mins) Stealth x3(5 mins all three times!) Swarm once(40 mins) Colossus x2(15 mins both times!) Samurai once (0 mins) I did lots more rides but really the flat rides and water rides! Everything else throughout the day was 10 mins or less! Remember, this was a peak day during the summer holidays and it was one of the busiest times I have visited! To be honest, I think it is just how you plan out your day, yes you could have been taking down those queue times at the busiest time of the day at thorpe and the emptiest time of the day at alton! I'm not saying you did this, but if you plan out your day well you can get on most rides with small or no queues!

Yea I suppose you would expect this seeing as AT hotel is sort of more posh(in a way) and is permanent unlike, thorpe's! However, with thorpe you are getting extras(the entertainment!)

How do you know sw7 is an eurofighter? Sure it is 4 rows of 4 and made by gerstular but no one said it was a eurofighter!

Cool ill be having a look at it when I go to the Xmas zoo day

I suppose on fluch it is louder but I can hear the sound in saw perfectly well! Also fluch's sound is in German so it is harder to understand

I think saw is better guess we all have our own opinions!

Just thinking, wouldn't it make the coaster look stupid if only two of the rows were facing backwards and the rest were facing forwards?

Inverted- Nemesis, alton towers Suspended-vampire, chessington(only one I've been on) Water ride- Valhalla,Blackpool Stand up, shockwave, Drayton manor Flying- manta,seaworld Orlando Floor less,Kraken, seaworld orlando(only one I've been on) Eurofighter- saw the ride+the curse of Novgorod(I love them both but Novgorod is kinda a copy of saw with the speaking puppet inside the building!) Giga- big one,blackpool(only one I've been on) Launch-stealth, thorpe park Wingrider- the swarm, thorpe park Drop tower- detonator, thorpe park(the most intense drop tower I have been on however I was tempted to put scream,heide park up there!) Boomerang- the boomerang at freziet park, giezelwind(only one I've ridden) Wooden- Colossus, heide park To be honest I haven't really been on the big coasters out of Europe so this is just out of what I've been on and that's not particularly much

I got that picture above aswell(I subscribed to the sw7 fan site thing!) It is quite strange really because people said merlin would not make sw7 worlds most inversions because it would make Colossus look stupid! Now that it really seems like it is going to be worlds most inversions, I can't see what is going to happen to colosssus. Yes it is a completely different experience, but I'm thinking fans will just say,"oh sw7 has more inversions, we will go to alton towers instead." Colossus days could well end as this is like the major record thorpe park had, no more record for Colossus if sw7 comes along! However, I think it is just as well alton towers does this, the max inversions they have on one ride is 4(nemesis) so they were really in need of a ride with more inversions. Also the Colossus record was going to be taken over anytime soon! The only shame for me is, I live such a long way away from alton and I will only be able to make 1 trip if any and sw7 might be awesome, but I will have to queue at least 2 hours for it! I just hope I can make a trip to alton next year! Also the name,"the smiler!" It definately will not fit in with the names of the rides around it, such as oblivion. Also with merlin putting "the" in front of everything I am starting to call all the rides at thorpe and alton "the samurai" for instance! It is really daunting on me!

No you go down a few zip wires over the park! I thought it would be £6 max as that's how much the big rides cost!

Hey guys, visiting the Xmas zoo days soon just wondering is the sea life centre free to enter if you pay for park entry?(my friend wants to go in it quite badly) Thanks guys

Guys remember, Loggers Leap tunnel had to be replaced so that could be advertised as a whole new ride too!

Yes well even if you go you can bring your own food and not even do any rides! There are lots of statues around the park and it is nice to look at everything! Have a walk through the xmas market too. Its beautiful even if you don't want to pay... after all its free entry!

Well I did watch a vid on youtube and the first time round it gives you a rubbish setting but then you do the crazy flipping on the second cycle!

I did read a website which said Vengance 5D was being move to thorpe park but who knows? The move would only take place after xmas if it was happening! Also because of the low capacity they may make it(if it is moving) a pay attraction like the passing was. Even then it would still generate queues but maybe something like annual pass holders would go free!? P.s my Merlin annual pass voucher just arrived As for this... what is the point of removing it for 2012 and then replacing it? Yes it's good for people to relax on and all that but I'm wondering why the removed it in the first place?

Does anyone know if Zufari is counted as part of the zoo? If so will it be open for Zoo days 2013? Also, will zufari have long queues or does it have a high capacity and also will it be a paying-attraction(like The passing was) Thanks

There must be a good reason to not have safari skyway open.....

Oh thanks I usually sit on the end I want to get squirted in the future

The effects make the ride even better than it is alone! If the blades aren't rotating they don't have as much impact and of course the swinging axes and the little jigsaw! The ride would not be complete without them! On the twist inside, there is a dead body on the floor which used to squirt fake blood at you, now it has become water and although the effect gives an impact it is not as good as it used to be! Anyway, this effect is hardly ever turned on anymore as I have only been squirted twice in the many rides on saw I have had!

Again I know it's been said that it has nothing to do with zufari, but safari skyway could well be closed because it gives clear views of construction of zufari! I know this may sound stupid though!

It has until the end of 2014 I think- it will be rethemed if they cant get it renewed for the 2015 season!

How do people get close enough to see the construction site? Just like with SW7 people can see the track pieces. How is this possible? As for the photo if its just a picture of dirt moving then I don't see why anyone would want to steal it!
