Ride Accidents
This is why knockoffs should be banned. Old news I know but just goes to show how shoddy these knockoffs are. http://themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=60150

Best dark ride
Either Horror Hotel at Brighton Pier or if we are talking around the world as well then it would have to be Hinzen's Haunted Mansion. It's a funfair ghost train but it's a german one and it is really really good. Has some decent scares. I think a ride like it (a gosetto suspended ghost train) would work perfectly at thorpe park to replace saw alive

This Or That
Runaway Train. Beyonce or Miley Cyrus?
-
Control Panels
maybe not the best idea haha! You could push them all when the ride is shut otherwise if you did it when the ride is open you could have a major accident haha

The Smiler
Just wondering does the smiler give as much airtime as SAW does?

Slammer
Rush is kind of a tried and tested design as the pendulum rides have been around since about 1990(dont quote me on that but I think thats around the sort of time the afterburner was made)
-
Slammer
Rush is also a s&s ride and to my knowledge that has not had as much downtime as slammer has. Why is that?

How would you improve Dark Forest?
Demolish it and start again.
-
Slammer
Slammer may be popular but you will never get me on it. If it had proper full over the head restraints then maybe. Is the ride cycles on a program like a lot of flat rides or is it manual and the operator lets it go round for as long as they are allowed?
-
Slammer
I dread to think how much money they spent on slammer trying to fix it. Can they not scrap it I know it's the only one but surely it would be better to have a working ride that is common than one that barely works and is the only one around?
-
Slammer
I have decided to return and why is slammer not opening? Is it due to technical problems?

worst theme park experience
my worst experience was when I went to alton towers in 2010. Staff were rude and had terrible attitude. I didn't know where the disabled entrance for thirteen was so I asked this person and they were rude and just said "oh over there". Even though thorpes staff can be slow the times ive been they show an intrest in your day and are usually chatty and nice.

Next Big Thing - 2016 Development ?
I know it's not a coaster but if thorpe are gonna get a big coaster then maybe upgrading Detonator to one of the funtime drop towers. I'm sure you can get a park model . They have more seats but are not as forceful as detonator.

Stealth
Why does loads of people say you only get airtime in the front seats on stealth? I went in one of the back rows and I got mad airtime. Do you get more airtime at the front?
-
Phantasialand
I saw a video of the new log flume earlier and all the restraint is a small bar which you pull towards you which I guess they are there for that insane drop cause I bet you probably get some good airtime on it.
-
Funfair Rides
I know how you feel! When I go to fairs I ususally dont pace myself and I usually end up feeling rough!
-
SAW: The Ride
SAW is my favourite ride at thorpe park and everyone says it is rough but I find it very smooth to be honest. Saying that I always sit on the end of the row so that could be why. It is a wonderfully themed ride it's a great coaster for the uk
-
Funfair Rides
if you get sick very easily then a ride you want to steer clear of is a kmg superspin. They are very sickly haha
-
Phantasialand
I noticed on a picture I saw of the new water ride's station that the ride has restraints as there was a sign that said please pull your safety bars down.
-
Funfair Rides
Well you think that is intense when the ride was in france it would go on full speed for about 5 minutes!!!
-

-
Blackpool Pleasure Beach
one word for you. Bling. They destroyed that ride.
-
Vampire
Jesus the operation of vampire is terrible now. Last year they were fairly quick. Why can't they be like Thorpe. I mean when I went on swarm the safety bars were checked really quite quickly and the ride was out of the station straight away. If there is dispatch times of 3 mins+ I really dread to think what the queues for vampire will be like in summer holidays when the park is at it's busiest.
