Oops I should have made my post clearer, I did actually mean it was only the far end seats were closed on both paddles, sorry for any confusion!

All the end seats on both the left and right paddles were also closed off on Thursday which is weird.

I will definitely be coming to this to try it out. Haven't been to this before and will be interesting to see how good it is!

Didn't even realize this topic was here Anyways I live in Luton - Bedfordshire

Viking River Splash Loggers Leap or Dragon Falls ?

No Limits 1.6 Vortex or Zodiac ?

THORPE PARK Mini Meet: 28th August 2014. I know it's a bit late, but I haven't had the time to type this up till today! It was an early start for me as my first train out of three was at 6:25am. Annoyingly the train was packed which I was slightly surprised about being this early in the morning, this meant I had to stand up in the train for around an hour when I finally arrived in London St Pancras. After getting the underground to Vauxhall, I was now on the train to Staines, getting both more nervous and excited to go to my first ever meet . I arrived in Staines at around ten past eight, where a shuttle was waiting. I didn't think the price for it was to bad, could have been much worse. I arrived at Thorpe's gates at around 8:40ish. After a period of waiting around, the others turned up at around 9:30am. We then entered the park. Quite a few rides were not open straight away ( SWARM, Quantum, Loggers and Slammer (expecting that anyway) but everything except Rumba opened. We started off with Rush which was walk on and we get swing A, the cycle was quite good just to short After this we did Colossus, Saw, Loggers and Samurai. Paige and a few others got stuck on Saw, but had a good pod on Samurai, but the rest of us got a good ride on Saw but a bad pod on Samurai. For the rest of the day we continued to go round the park going on most of the rides. We wanted to go on Stealth but it broke down at around 3:15. We decided to ask the staff standing outside blocking the area if there was a chance of it reopening. As it was around 6pm, it was very unlikely it was going to reopen that day. But at around 6:45pm it opened and we ran straight to the station. We all had a go front row and then another go in the rest of the train. This was definitely the highlight of my day! After a long day it was time to catch the train back home and I arrived back in Luton at around 9:35pm. Ride Count: Rush x1 Colossus x1 Saw x1 Detty x2 Samurai x1 Loggers x1 Slammer x1 X x1 Inferno x1 Stealth x2 Swarm x1 Teacups x1 Vortex x1 Pros: Slammer in operation Stealth at the end of the day Great Park Atmosphere Really nice to meet new people! Cons: Most of the flats on bad cycles Rumba closed all day Storm Surge Still Exists I would like to say thanks to everyone who made my first meet a memorable one and especially to Paige for organizing it all! It has definitely been a highlight to my year and I will be coming to meets more often!

Paid parking Nemesis or Nemesis Inferno?

Angry Birds! Hot dogs or Burgers ?

After my first ride on Colossus on Thursday, I came off quite surprised. I was expecting to come off with a headache, however the ride was so much smoother than I was expecting and I thoroughly enjoyed it even though there isn't much room in the trains but it wasn't to bad. Only downside was the restraints seemed to be playing up a bit as they had to keep being locked and re locked multiple times on our train. But after the ride I had on Colossus on Thursday, I will definitely be going on it more often!

Android. Air or Colossus ?

but during this

Not being funny, but I think I would rather be stuck in the restraints as I'm one of them people who is slightly nervous with restraints, To me it would show that they are actually fully safe and the chance of them coming undone is very slim! Obviously, I would rather it work properly.

To the few people, who think yesterday could have been the end of Slammer, It is currently operational today!

I'm in

Well done Hope you have fun and hopefully I'll be in the same position in a couple of years time!

1. Rush 2. Slammer 3. Inferno 4. Stealth 5. Saw 6. Samurai 7. Detty 8. Swarm 9. Quantum 10, Vortex

I highly doubt a train was sitting in the station for 10 minutes waiting for people to get on it, It would be max a couple of minutes.

I'll be there

Correct, at this moment in time I'm not a SWARM fan, I just find it forceless at the moment, However in a few years I have high suspicions that my opinion will change!

Nope, Nemesis is my favourite coaster at Towers

1. My favourite ride is Slammer 2. I am a fan of SWARM 3. My favourite coaster at Alton Towers is Nemesis
