It’s been more built every time I’ve visited so don’t think it will end up like that - from the looks of it it mostly just needed the theming added now.
I hope you're right.

I think Quantum would be like the Black Buccaneer at Chessington, as it might be on the same fate...

An upcharge attraction, since The Walking Dead: Zombie Hunt

In a ideal world next year the park would invest in a identical replacement and maybe spruce up the area while they are at it.
I think that is wishful though, lets hope.. I wouldn't be upset if they re-did Tomb Blaster next year instead as that ride is currently a pile of garbage.
I agree with you on this one

They’re currently playing the old end of day music after close. The one from 2002(?)-2011 I believe.
The 2002-2011 one is just far too lively and in your face.
That’s great for me!

Have also noticed Colossus / Lost City, Inferno and the Entrance playing shorter versions of their full tracks which is a shame along with the dome and shark hotel music mixed up.
On that subject Colossus station has also had its ambient track switched to the ones with the birds which was used back in 2007? The original is much better IMO and goes with the announcement better.
On the flip side the entrance Musics been turned up which was much needed! Saws outdoor queue finally has audio back too. Noticed The Swarm station audio was again much louder today which was good to hear! Hopefully the shorter / mixed up tracks is a easy fix!
The Swarm with the louder volume is just what I have expected, finally. I wish The Swarm could add more announcements, just like I have made my own!
And at least I have my Thorpe audio files on my hard drive USB, with a lot of bonus files that I have made up with, even that any attraction would have existed before!

Whatever's replacing this has an update on the queue times list.
A legacy? Nice! XD I'd imagine Jungle Escape, as Thorpe's own adaption of IAC. Very Nice! XD

I don’t care. They’re drop towers. What do you expect? I’ll tell you what, why not replace detonator with a taller one. Does it sound fair to you?

Just wondering, does anyone have a copy or atleast a recording of the new Detonator Bombs Away audio? I've been trying to find it for a while
I have found it once, but when I got back months later, it must have been gone.

The Daily Fail yet again expertly stirring up the masses over nothing.
One of the biggest comments was "have backup generators" which is silly to invest millions in loud, unenvironmentally friendly and extremely polluting diesel generators for an event that rarely occurs and isn't needed. If power is lost halfway through a ride I presume the parks have thought about something as obvious as this happening and have plans in place to get people off the rides and give them refunds if the outages lasts long enough (thinking back to the 3/4 times it happened at Thorpe last year - they need a new electricity supplier or something).
I agree, like a hydro powered supply. Take this for instance...
Or maybe this...
Would you agree?

It's like a national park wildfire, all over again!

Only if this is the theme music
Ha ha! FRITH IN A WASPS' NEST!!!!!

But if it did return, why not have a soundtrack, something like this...

Just like Rocky Express with Beetlejuice and Slammer with Van Helsing. What do you think of my opinion?

I wish a wood spray would work as well, like metal being disguised as wood.

Scorpion Express

When I went there, on March 29th, it ran on 3 laps, but unexpectedly, it ran for another lap, after slowing down! The staff really are experts at goofing off! XD
