Why did it open this soon after I arrived back from Florida? I'm really struggling to get over this

Then that must mean that... I'm a ghost

I bet this ride will feature similar stats to InvadR, the way everyone's describing the ride and the rumours heard point towards a family GCI.

Your first TPM meet! (I think, correct me if I'm wrong)

When I went on Monday, they had fire effect on about every 5 trains and I managed to get the fire effect on ride 3 times. However, the fire effect was much better in 2014 as it actually happened when you were at the top of the zero G roll rather than at the bottom of the drop, has that changed for a safety reason? (Be warned, I ask a lot of questions)

A summer without Stealth is going to be a hard summer

If Mean Streak was getting a small update then they wouldn't announce an entire closure. The only possibilities are RMC or a complete removal with a ride replacing it.

When they replace the cable, how much testing will they have to do before they can reopen Stealth?

I look rather evil there

It'll probably be used by people working their way up, or people trying to get over a fear of drop towers.

Realistically, I want them to get a B&M flyer as they could easily fit it onto that island and when they're a good design (like Manta, my #2) they just blow your mind. Not all flying coasters are like Air/Galactica. I would like them to get a B&M hyper, but that's just not gonna happen.

Hershey Park have just announced their new ride(s) which are 3 S&S Space Shots all of different heights (the tallest one also being a turbo shot). Personally, I think this will be a great addition for Hershey park as the main ride missing for them was a drop tower. I really enjoy S&S Space Shots purely for the launch (basing my experience off Dr. Doom's Fearfall) and the fact the Hershey tower has a Turbo Drop as well will add to the experience. I am aware many of you are not fans of S&S Space Shots so I am expecting negative comments.

This was closed yesterday then opened at around 4:00 with an 100 minute queue. Is it me or did it seem to be more reliable before it actually opened?

Arrow were the only ones that could do them well, but as they're gone there's now no point.

I thought Kong at Islands of Adventure was meh, overall confession: dark rides don't immerse me (unless there's a good thrill ride/roller coaster combined).

I've had this in mind for quite a while now but suspended coasters could contain inversions if they used that grove thing (I don't know the name) used on the lift hill, brake run and station. If they made it follow the inversion then the coaster would remain supported through the inversion then when it exits the inversion it could come back to normally and come out of that grove thing.

Hopefully this isn't the end of slammer. Are Thorpe Park aware that the enthusiast love the ride? (that's what it seems like at the moment, which is great).

But it's Rita so no one actually cares.

10/10 Holy ****

8.5/10 Slammer is an amazing flat ride (when it's actually working). And it's nice to have a ridecount.

I'm kind of puzzled as to why they chose another woodie when they already have 4. A different type of roller coaster could've really improved their collection or in fact given them variety like no other theme park.

7/10 On a different platform the signature works. I don't really listen to Muse, but when I do hear them, I enjoy the music.

Whilst the group does a scare maze you are allowed to go off and do a ride (preferably with someone) as long as you meet up with the group after. Besides, scare mazes aren't as bad as you think (unless you're really young), it's literally walking through dark rooms with people who are dressed up, and you get used to it very quickly. Last years fright nights meet was the first time I had done a scare maze, I was nervous beforehand but ended up laughing half the time for some weird reason (trust me, there's no laughing gas).

Cobra's Curse I think is a great addition to the park and is a fun little coaster, the elevator lift, first drop and the banked curve were my favourite elements. However, I do prefer a Maurer

When it comes down to it, the GP just love VR and will just favouritise everything involving it, even if the VR is of low quality.
