  1. Lastnight on the Blair witch project I got rift up to the shed... Everything going great... And then all the safety lights came on and the quietest speakers said something had gone wrong and carry on walking to get out, so then we walked right through the shed with the actors just stood there chatting to us, pretty funny overall, didn't see how the shed could be scary as there was only 2 actors stood there!
  2. Rubber but I'm not fussed, I honestly think this idea is brilliant!
  3. According to BBC SouthEast its due to open next summer
  4. Wow... This is pretty unlucky! http://www.independent.co.uk/news/deer-killed-instantly-after-being-hit-by-lightwater-valley-rollercoaster-when-it-strayed-too-close-to-the-tracks-9765505.html
  5. I'm not entirely sure, it might be because they want to add a second track into the workshop, Stealths got 3 however Stealth has 3 trains whereas Nemesis I think only has 2 so I dont know why they'd add another track unless they were planning on a 3rd train or just wanted the ability to be able to have both trains in the workshop at once, I'm not sure if the current one can fit both of them in. I dont even know if the ride can handle 3 trains... They might just want more room to work... I'm just purely speculating!
  6. http://www.totalthorpepark.co.uk/images/other/2010mtdpcloseup.jpg I just realised, the Nemesis Inferno workshop is due to be extended according to TTP and you can see on this map it is listed as "improvements". If it is to be extended could that account for the tagging of the trees rather than a new ride?
  7. I dont know if its possible but I think it'd be good if you were able to choose which threads you see, for instance I never read the Chessington one and I always just press the read button so on mobile the blue symbol goes. So rather than do this it would be good if I could just get rid of it so I don't have to see it. Other than that the forums at the moment are pretty sweet!
  8. Thorpe might not be the only place you'll be able to buy super freeze coke in that case

    It also stank of straw, I'm assuming they used that on CITW as I never went on it

    X - Theme Music | Thorpe Park | 2014 Soundtrack 2 X - Theme Music | Thorpe Park | 2014 Soundtrack 1 This guy... I don't know how he got them but he's got the X songs! He's uploaded 2 so far and promised in a comment on the Soundtrack 1 video that he's going to be uploading more soon! Finally! And they're good quality! Personally I prefer Soundtrack 2 as 1 is so repetitive -.-
  12. Also gotta remember hotel guests get to go as well, this happened last year when I was staying and it coincided with the preview night.

    Logger's Leap

    feels like it when you're on it aha! I thought loggers was the tallest rather than the longest?

    Logger's Leap

    I would rather loggers was completely refurbished and cleaned up with new/ more themeing than knocked down and replaced, in the summer its usually always busy with queues so it deserves a nice bit of tlc
  15. When I went it started at 9.15 but hardly anything was open until about 9.30 When Colossus opened and everything else seemed to afterwards and you also get from 9.30 to 10.30 free unlimited fastrack, you go up to the fastrack queue and if there's someone there you just show your hotel wristband.
  16. They should do a stealth one although I'm joking thinking about it even though it'd be short the expression on peoples faces would be worth it aha!

    I'm loving SOME of the music they're playing now!
  18. They were really visible at the beginning of the year when the pond had just been cleaned but its difficult to see them now as the pond flora has started to grow a wee bit large again
  19. I was also told by a director of one of the mazes that this year Blair witch is having massive changes done to it, she seemed very excited by the changes but wouldn't tell me what exactly, it is still outside however.
  20. It wasn't because of that student that it closed. I've been told by some of the maze directors they wanted to have all lionsgate mazes last frightnight but wanted to keep asylum one more year so it could have an 8th season which would then mean it and the freezer which it replaced both had 8 years. It was nothing to do with that student.
  21. So then it makes no sense for people who refuse to use it to then complain when they could easily be doing the same? If they dont like it, they dont have to go on a trial day
  22. You cannot not know on days they are doing it, it is all over their social media pages, on the queue boards, lots of staff all by the bridge in green jackets handing out leaflets and explaining it, signs all over the park, numerous tents with staff around them to explain, r& R staff by every rollercoaster and all over the dome, if you are their on the day, it is not possible to not see it, and if you don't understand it, there are literally a minimum of like 50 dedicated staff explainig it. I understand you don't like the system but just because you point out all the negatives doesn't mean the system is completely flawed. The tagging trees and surveyors is evidence THORPE are going to add more rides, its a slow process. I was there on 2 trial days, both days the system worked perfectly, both busy days and the flats had normal sized queues. On busy days the system doesn't prevent re rides, because on busy days you cannot just jump back on, and even if you only had to wait 10mins at the end of the day, you can still do that with r&r. I think you need to realise there's so much information you don't know, Thorpe will know all of these problems and will be planning to eliminate them with new rides and shops & cafes the breeze blocks, tables & heat lamps on the access rode across from nemesis inferno are evidence of that, if you truly don't like it, go down on a trial day, and tell the staff in person what you think as you have many valid points and see what they have to say. Sorry to rant but I hated the idea of the system before I tried it and now I have I can see how with improvements like more rides, shops and restaurants it has a chance and it requires people to give it a go, all new ideas sound crazy at first and seem stupid and I admit that the flaws you pointed out are completely relevant, however trialed, tested and tweaked they it could become successful. Sorry project LC to rant like this, its nothing personal
  23. Probably because they cba or they just don't wanna try the new system, they probably will towards the end of the day when they realise r&R goes in through the fastrack entrance and that if they did it thwy wouldn't be being cut up. In the summer this system is working good as you couldn't re ride anyway so using the system doesn't mean you'll go on less rollercoasters, and so far the flats have been coping well from my experience.
  24. When I was there two days ago I had to refresh the page a couple of times on my mobile to show up the queue times, however it might also be because it is at the beginning of the day and not many people have used it yet
