Tayto Park
Ireland deserves it tbh, they've had nothing. My cousin found storm surge scary, that says a lot about the rides in Ireland! *bare in mind my cousin was also 16 at the time*

Tayto Park
Ireland's finally getting some decent rides, woo! Never actually knew Tayto had their own theme park though, find that rather amusing. Although the brand is pretty huge over there.

Slammer
I think the problem lies with the fact that they can't/don't batch guests into the loading area until the ride before it is over and has been cleared, not necessarily a problem with the actual ride itself (although if that was the case I wouldn't be surprised).

The Banning Game
Banned for that clearly unnecessary smiley at the end of that ban.

'sudden and dramatic acceleration and dropping' 'sudden stops' 'strong tilting and jarring actions' Bottle it is then.

Slammer
I don't understand why Slammer takes so long to batch, maybe it's as there's a considerable amount of new staff and Slammer hasn't been open for a while so they may not really know it well, or what. On Saturday, the queue time was advertised as 20 minutes, but we ended up waiting about 40 minutes, and honestly they only went through two, maybe three cycles (although they spent about 5 minutes looking for someone's phone as it fell out during the ride). They were taking atleast 10-15 minutes to load, I just didn't understand it- there was probably a throughput of about 280pph IF THAT. I get there's things with balancing etc. but I don't see how it could be that hard just to count the right number or people? If there's a major factor which affects the batching time, I would be keen to know.

SAW: The Ride
Saw is always breaking down when I visit. I do believe it's a Gerst thing ha.

SAW: The Ride
The ride isn't as rough as it has been, even for a Gerst. If you know how to brace yourself its pretty okay, unless you get a rough car. The maze? Returning throughout the season? No thanks. I never went in it and I don't particularly regret it. Saw Alive had to be one of the worst moves Thorpe made IMO: there was so much hype over saw but then the maze just flopped. Also, who the hell would pay a fiver for that? Especially outside of FN.

Oh no the macarena didn't need to be improved... It need to not happen AT ALL. My poor ears

Stealth
My opinion may have been marred by the fact Inferno's oil dripped onto my jeans... But yes- only backrow though
-
Stealth
I went on Stealth back row for the first time ever yesterday and it was, well, awesome! It was so forceful and you really feel the speed of it as you're going up the top hat- and the amount of air time you get when you're going down the top hat and over the airtime hill has to be the best I have ever experienced on any coaster so far! I think it could give Inferno a run for it's money

FlowRider
£50 for 4 people!? It was originally £80... I thought Thorpe were doing pretty decent with this to be honest, although it wasn't that busy today, mind you the weather was dreadful Nice to see they've put the prices down though, still wouldn't want to waste 1-2 hours of ride time for it.

Angry Bird's Ministry of Sound Thorpe Park Meet 5th July 2014
Today was pretty great, thanks guys, I honestly can't believe it's only my second official meet! I feel as though I've been a part of TPM for ages! Today was fun though, and it was nice to get to know/spend time with some new people. See you guys at Summer Nights, hopefully I hope all of the *whispers* over 18s are having fun at MoS right now and that those who went to the cinema enjoyed their film... even if they haven't seen the first one yet And Peaj, the rock has joined the Chessie rock on my wall- best goodbye gesture EVER.

Summer Nights
But you were initially moaning about Stealth's 15 minute queue and how that was '15 minutes too long'? Ah well.
-
Summer Nights
I think someone did question why he went only for the 3 hours of Summer Nights, though.
-
Summer Nights
Okay, maybe you're not necessarily lying, but you certainly haven't got a clue as to what you are talking about.
-
Summer Nights
You have changed your story far too much for it to be the mere exaggeration of one point. Plus, I believe that some of what you have claimed to have happened is rather inaccurate.
-
Summer Nights
You stated the rain made it feel like 60 minutes, when it was infact 20. Okay, well, I think that Merlin mess up sometimes but I don't feel the need to simply fabricate information for the sake of critisizing it.
