  1. I really hope this isn't true
  2. Are they still offering the photopass offer?
  3. Does anyone know if they've changed at all for this season? Like the layout or the sponsors or materials or anyhing...
  4. I know they want too appeal to families more but that, in my opinion so there's no evidence behind this, is TOO babyish, like its very slow, except the not smooth launch and has lots of sections of the ride that is wasted and inefficient time of moving VERY slowly. I know its turning into a family market but surely THORPE could muster up something better than that...
  5. But why would an operator not turn them on?
  6. I wonder why the mist can be so temperamental
  7. Has anyone got a picture of it?
  8. Does anyone know if the mist is working currently or if its gone again?
  9. Just out of interest, physics AS Level and all, how does Samurai spin? Is it to do with alternating currents creating a magnetic force that causes it (Don't know if that explanation is right) as I see on the top of the arm it rotates around a thick set of orangey brown, what look like wires with a black contact

    This ride would really suite some AVICII
  12. I remember on a school trip to THORPE we had a seminar with one of the chief engineers and he was explaining that Colossus was one of the first rides its company ever installed and because of this, they were inexperienced and this meant that a lot of the ride was tweaked as it was being constructed, such as the support pole tops, most of which had to be bent on site as they didnt fit, he referred to it as a high quality botch job Just thought this was an interesting fact I'd share with you lot, you may already know it

    I agree with you on that one flipper, its an almost perfect place for a small shop and I bet with the close links to ministry of sound and all the cool lighting and theme you could get some really cool and probably completely new merch, I know I would wanna buy some X merch

    Hmm well maybe they could play a mixture that includes last years or, since they're not using it now, they could release last years music for us to properly listen to...

    Well could you not speak to the people that do the music?
  16. I know most people are going to disagree with me here but I personally loved 'The Noise' as it was good to hear all the chart songs and it meant that I associated some songs with the park every time I hear them, makes for some good memories, particularly Chris Malinchak- So Good To Me, which was played over the summer, id be sad to see The Noise disappear

    Pricing

    I was just wondering how the park can justify only discounting concession prices on a 1 day online ticket by £2 to £22.99, that seems a bit steep considering MOST elderly people who go there aren't going for the rides, they are usually with a family and are there for people too young as company or just to spend a day with grand-kids etc. Does anyone else think they should offer a highly discounted ticket for people who will not be going on the rides such as the elderly or others and make them them wear something like a wristband so they cannot get on the rides? Seems like it would be fairer for those people.
  18. I found this online which kinda confirms it's happening if it's on a job application: "The excitement is building up at THORPE PARK Resort as the new Hotel is being built right now, ready for the official opening in April 2014. This is not just any hotel; this is a new THORPE Shark Hotel concept. Located within the Park the THORPE PARK Hotel will have 90 rooms and promises simple but stylish accommodation with a fun and quirky personality." http://www.caterer.com/JobSeeking/Hotel-Experience-Manager---Thorpe-Park---Chertsey-Surrey_job59011031
  19. Found this video whilst on YouTube, my god it's change a lot, minus a few things, looks surprisingly fun, minus the cheesy presenting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qztOuNTnT4Q

    Flooding

    Was just wondering if anyone knew about the floods regarding their effect on THORPE PARK, it looks pretty bad in that are and I'm surprised it hasn't already seen some damage but there's more on the way :/ that lake must be awful high by now :/
  21. Is it Chris malinchak- so good to me ?
  22. obviously this is very personal but I'd like a summer concert from 7 till early in the morning with just AVICII DJ'ing and it all to be sponsored by Dr.Pepper and then AVIVII will ride on all the rides with me dont think that'll happen though for some reason
  23. Don't think many of you will have seen Rumba looking like this! I shot this video on the first day of the Fright Nights in 2013, enjoy!

    X MUSIC?

    Ah yeah that sounds like it, dammit, thought we was onto somethin there -.-
  25. Hey guys, Does anyone know what these tunnels are? I know they're slightly obscured when riding and haven't a clue why they're there or what they're used for? https://www.google.co.uk/maps/preview#!data=!1m4!1m3!1d1095!2d-0.5113938!3d51.4008537!2m1!1e3&fid=7
