Derren Brown's Ghost Train: Rise of the Demon
Just because a company has made good music up until now there can always be exceptions. However if its anything like Helix launch platform I will be happy.

Closed Rides
Knowing a ride is going to be closed the day before when it was working "fine" implies that stealths current downtime is planned. However just because it's planned doesn't mean it's avoidable. It's down for a reason but seeing as we don't know that reason it's stupid to make any sort of complaint about it.

Closed Rides
I do not think Thorpe would take note of low numbers in the last week and blame it on stealth. The downtime of stealth does seem odd and planned. It is a poor decision but I think emailing would get the point across more than not turning up.

Closed Rides
You have to take into account that if one ride has an issue it will affect the others. Thorpe don't have an unlimited amount of engineers. Also slammer, Samurai, Rocky, Rumba and loggers have been on staggered opening pretty much all year. No one rides them then anyway so it's not really an issue.

A mixed day? I dread to think what you consider a bad day.

Derren Brown's Ghost Train: Rise of the Demon
The name Chronicles of London is very likely. I don't see this thing being called Galatica. While they could still register a different name it seems more likely to be one of the names they have already got.

Park Operations
Whilst it can be used for that the ride will also know when all seats are locked. The more prominent reason is that during an evacuation it is not possible to release the restraints one person at a time. So to stop all the seats releasing at once the seatbelt keeps them down. Saw doesn't have seatbelts because the seats can be released individually so they aren't needed. There are also other minor reasons for there existence.

Oakwood
Visited Oakwood today. Very empty lots of rerides. Drenched was closed all day The wild west area still has an orange fence and on the map it says new development coming soon. As far as I can tell no work is being done to that at all. It's a nice park it's just lacking some more rides. Oh and I can see how operations would become annoying if the park was busy. I've never seen a coaster run by 1 person before. Nor 2 flat rides run by 1 person on a rotation thingy. The park has potential it just needs investment.

Hmm my mind is wanted so they can make me unsee what I've seen.

Erm did they mean to do that or have they messed up?

We can always stop playing the pronoun game and just say what you think the IP is. If they put it in the maze they clearly don't care people knowing.

Thorpe Park Trip Reports
Sigh...

Samurai
It was on the list originally when they first started 11pm openings. It just didn't have many days when it was open for people to notice.

For the record I don't think they are getting a robocoaster.

Project WC16 - New for 2016
Screens come rolled up, that would be for something that needs removing regularly such as a ride car. A robot arm perhaps.

That's a very tall maintenance door.

Slammer
I love slammer because of the free fall and the weightless sensation you get when its at full speed. Everyone else's reaction on the ride is also great entertainment. By no means is the last of its kind a reason to stay. The reason I think it should stay is because of the ride experience. The only issues its very much a Marmite ride. You either love slammer or hate it.

Slammer
Yeah I have a feeling I've had my last ride on slammer. Stop pouring money into samurai and spend it on slammer. Samurai is terrible and boring, slammer is unique and fun.

Project WC16 - New for 2016
The manufacture is unknown and at the moment very hard to work. I don't mind it being Simworx. After all I wouldn't mind a RCX RoboCoaster G2.

They have been reused. The episode deep breath the clockwork robots reappeared in Victorian London seeking body parts.

Sundays are always better.

Project WC16 - New for 2016
Only ip relation I can think of would be the clock work robots from doctor who which seek body parts. Saying that I don't think it will be doctor who. I think this doesn't have an IP.

The Future of Stand Up Coasters
They are so uncomfortable if you don't get the seat just right. First time on a stand up was just me trying to stop the pain the whole way round. If it wasn't for there being no queue I wouldnt have bothered with a 2nd go. I think the future for them is the floorless conversion. Stand ups don't attract people any more and people which do ride them always say that they are uncomfortable.

Interestingly the smiler is not listed under the x sector on the scarefest map.
