Th13teen(-1) I cannot bear the fact that this ride has long queues! Frankly the only good bit is the drop.…

Saw the ride(+1) I love the ride it is epic and I love the beyond vertical drop
Loggers leap(-1) ever since I found out that the roof collapsed!! The ride will be rubbish without the pitch black indoor drop!

Stealth(+1)- great ride and has to be my fave with saw and swarm close behind
The showcase(-1) is this even used any more except for fright nights?? That's the only reason I downgraded it
-
When did the second train go to Switzerland???!!! I went to thorpe park in September and I'm sure they were running it on two trains!- when I went on fright night I didn't ride Colossus so I don't know but don't you think the queues are just gonna be to long on one train!
As for what you have said..... I do think that you are mostly telling the truth and this is off topic but when thorpe do something wrong and you complain they give you fastrack.... They don't bother sorting out your problem! At alton is this the same issue?
-
No..... It can't be I know the facts say it but doesn't saw the ride and nemesis inferno feel much longer than the swarm?Why don't you actually bother to queue for it, when it's actually the second longest coaster at Thorpe behind Colossus...
Not exactly sommat to complain about really the length then... So..
I'm not saying the swarm is bad I'm just saying that it isn't the best winged coaster out there! The THEMEING is excellent and because you have said they would have to pay for land on water I totally understand why it is not longer.....
However, you say the ending is poor I love the twist at the end it makes me come out of my seat like on the twists on Colossus, that is the best part, as for how quick the ride is it feels dreadfully slow if you sit in the middle, it only feels fast at the front or the back!
Lengthwise:
Yes it says the swarm is longer but it doesn't feel like it, whereas saw the ride and nemesis inferno have twists and turns and drops, the swarm tackles its inversions in a row, yes you could say nemesis inferno does this aswell but it has more twists and turns! I love the swarm and I kinda prefer it to nemesis and Colossus if sitting on the right back seats but as for length it doesn't feel longer!
-
Yea but to be honest if it move to flamingo land I would go there instead of going to AmericaWell you could always hop on a plane and ride Catapult?
Edit: Six Flags New England is closed for the winter
However if slammer did move to flamingo land it would be even more unreliable as it would be 2nd hand!
-
Ok this has truly inspired me now...
Might make a winter wonderland recreation as well! The map is officially up and it seems like we've lost blizzard booster!
Ok I might make an American theme park or maybe a family one dunno though!
-
I know this was what happened to me on stealth it is absoloutely ridiculous!I went To towers in July time and they told us Rita was 45-60 minutes to sell us fastrack do we did and it turned out to be 5 minutes. Thorpe arnt the only guilty ones!
As for thorpe park.... The swarm isn't amazing its good.. A longer layout would do but they didn't make it, I don't even bother to queue for it
-
Slammer is not moving there!!! I won't have it!!! I don't want it to move I haven't been able to ride it yetI heard slammer was moving there next year
-
No no one does pay full priceI'm sure everyone on here wld never say no to a new ride but we have just had a multi million top branded coaster with excellent theme during the worst recession in decades too. So I can accept limited or even no additions next year. Re the price, yes it is high but lets be realistic, no one pays full price do they.
I usually have an annual pass and my friends will use a 2 for 1I can't say swarm is a top coaster....... Look at x flights layout so much longer.... Yes the THEMEING for the swarm is great but the ride could be at least double the length with worse THEMEING :/ and to be honest I still prefer stealth, saw, rush, Colossus, slammer and nemesis inferno to the swarm(unless right back on the swarm

Also, Thorpe Parks tickets are going up and up in price.... next year it is gonna be reaching like £60 pounds for an adult... who knows! If you go on a really busy day £45 pounds to enter is just not worth it! Thorpe need to get sorted out before they lose al their fans and I mean all of them.....
P.s Thorpe need a new ride in 2013 I dont think people will want the same old.... but maybe it could just make my day more enjoyable with shorter queues!
-
Yea they always do that..... The queue time board for stealth deliberately said 45 mins and a lady was telling us the queue was 1hr- trying to sell fastrack, the queue turned out to be 5 mins...just though let ppl knw they were selling fastrack on the final day of the season when there were like 0-10 min queues lol what are thorpe park thinking thought if it hit less capacity they wouldnt sell fastrack
-
I could probably do something like a Topscan for ages.... But maybe stealth over and over again
I would hate to stay on a spinning ride like zodiac!
-
Do they put all the rides on their website once they are confirmed? Because on the website at the moment all there is the wild maus xxl, power tower, air and the starflyer.oh yea also winter wonderland express and double decker carousel!!
-
Is this better than wmsp? I may take a visit I didn't think wmsp was great on thrills but was an enjoyable day out, after all if you want thrills go to thorpe or alton towers...
-
Thanks for the ride pricing! I can't wait to visit! I will definately be riding air,power tower, the starflyer and the coasters
I hope you have a great time if your going! -
Could we get a looping coaster? It is advertised as no less than three coasters this year! Maybe something like Olympia looping.. What do you think?
-
Guys also...
How much was ski jet?
And the suspended swinging coaster?
NEW THIS YEAR:
STAR-FLYER
WILD MAUS XXL
NEW COASTER
DOUBLE DECKER CAROUSEL!
There is a new coaster...
I know because on the website http://www.hydeparkwinterwonderland.com/attractions/rides it says we will see no less than THREE ROLLERCOASTERS this year!
Could we get a looping coaster? I'd like to know your thoughts... We may get more than three coasters.. This is advertised as coaster crazy!
-
Well guys as you probably know, we are getting the Wild Maus XXL and a Star-flyer new at winterwonderland this year! I was just wondering how much did these rides cost last year? I've never been before but I'm visiting this year?
So how much do these rides cost?
Power tower
Air
Winter wonderland express
Wild maus(last years version)
Blizzard booster
Ski party
Ski jump?
Thanks guys!

Guys I know barely anyone will know this if anyone....
I want to know:
If it is returning in 2013, if you don't know how likely is it?
What dates will it be will it be roughly a week like last year?
How good was it last year and what were the events like(I've never been to sunscream before
)How busy is it, what are the queues like?
If you have an annual pass is there an event fee and do you need to prebook with an annual pass?
Thanks guys, I look forward to replies
-
Hey does anyone know if THORPE PARK'S Sunscream event in the summer is returning in 2013? What dates will it be? Also how good was it last yea and how busy! Thanks
-
With the crash pad it could be a posibilityThat too will not happen...
although with the 'crash pad' more likely...
I asked when I was at Thorpe Park and I was told they only do the discount on the ultimate fasttrack. Could be wrong though
Is this true I may get ultimate fastrack with a discount the price would then be £56 not very cheap :/
-
I know it's weird the cycles are getting longer but the rotation is the same but it gets faster as it goes along making everyone get a topspin freakyOn Friday the rotation speed seemed such that everyone was getting a go at a top-swing. The ride also seemed to go on for longer than I remember! And when did it develop that weird judder?
