Your first Thorpe Park ride
I only ever rode X:/NWO once. What exactly made people sick on that thing anyway?

Hyperia Speculation and Construction Thread
If they get an airtime based coaster, they should give it the following motto: "Remain seated, if you can..."

Your first Thorpe Park ride
Where's Phill when we need him? Knowing that aparrently his earlier visits date back to 1984, he must have some sort of interesting story about his first ride at TP

Honestly, intense coasters are a great first coaster. Once you ride them, you immediately know you can ride everything else. I've tested it on a few friends (Stealth being the coaster), and it worked a charm ?

Your first Thorpe Park ride
Colossus... It was a brilliant first ride when I rode it (as it immeditately gets you over the fear of inversions), it's just a shame that it has aged horribly I may as well reveal, Colossus was the first coaster I rode to contain inversions

Fantastic moments on meh attractions!
Colossus front row This is a bit of an exception, Colossus isn't generally a meh ride but it's got so rough this year I just don't like it. Except front row where it is a great ride

Don't worry, many people on here can sometimes be complete tw*ts. That's one thing to be aware of

Your Plans for 2017
The eventful year of 2016 is soon to come to an end. 2016 was a monumental year for me, riding the world's tallest roller coaster, going to America twice, 10 visits to Thorpe Park (that's probably tiny compared to most people). But now we should take a look at 2017, even though it isn't going to be the best year for coasters that doesn't mean it won't be a good year to visit theme parks. So on this topic, feel free to mention any theme park visits for 2017 (even you're not sure it's going to happen, put it anyway. We're all interested, even if it doesn't happen). I'll say my lineup (it's not in order): Many Thorpe Park trips. Alton Towers. Maybe Chessington. Maybe Dreamland. Maybe PortAventura (my uncle did make a promise which I fulfilled). Disneyland Paris Hopefully some theme park in Holland - I'm going there on a tour with Bromley Youth Concert Band, I know nothing about the tour apart from that it is in Kerkrade and it's 10 days. They went to Gardaland last year (before I was in the band annoyingly), so it is possible .

Hyde Park Winter Wonderland
Many people are saying it's top 10 worthy, I'm not quite sure it will reach my top 10, but possibly my top 20. It will also be my 80th coaster!

At least the pricing shows that WW aren't putting up their prices each year (assuming Munich Looping costs the most to ride). £9 was the price to ride Blizzard back in 2013 (hopefully that hasn't changed).

Thorpe Park Ride Game 2016
I don't hate Inferno, I actually get brilliant rides on it every now and then. I just find it underwhelming, the layout is a bit unadventurous (the pre-lift is good though). It just seems a bit rushed to me, comparing it to other B&M inverts I think they could've done much more. I do enjoy Inferno, I would join in a petition to save it if they wanted to remove it. I just don't love it as much as other poeple do. I do sometimes exaggarate my "dislike" (notice the quotes) towards Inferno as a joke, so don't take everything I say about it seriously.

Thorpe Park Ride Game 2016
I thought it was the year of Stealth... Stealth is better than Inferno any day, that game belonged to Stealth, s/he (whatever gender Stealth is) deserved it Pretty much every other B&M invert I've ridden is better (apart from Hungarian Horntail).

Inferno = SEVERELY overrated Deserve to win game = 0

Closed Season
In comparison to Rumba, I feel that splash canyon is more adventurous. I just find it cool how it's practically hidden under shockwave.
