Apparently Merlin won't allow them to release it :/

Whatever they do with HEX, I just hope they've left the music alone!
Couldnt agree more!! Such a brilliant piece of music and just adds so much to the final part of the ride.

Big Top returning is a no brainer really as it was the saving grace for fright nights just gone and was simply fantastic. Platform 15 returning though is a massive shock taken into account it was a disaster in the eyes of 95 percent of those who did it. I do have faith however that Thorpe will make major alterations to it as there is no way on earth (surely) that they will just bring it back the same as it was when it was utterly panned by the public. So I have hope it will end up being decent when October does roll round.

Before 2016, I would complain about its removal. Now, I would be happy on the conditions that its replacement would be better.
Have to agree with that big time. It would be sad to see Colossus go when it does eventually go because of how much it raised Thorpe parks profile but it is just getting to a gwazi level of roughness now. theres plenty of space there to easily make a great replacement when they choose to do so.

I think that Thorpe's previous mazes (especially Asylum, E10, Hellgate) were far better than the ones they have now, but that's just my opinion.
The three mazes you just listed blow today's line up out of the water!! Just sad to think that few years ago we got experiment 10 and now we get platform 15

I'm surprised El Toro didn't make the list (I'm correct in remembering you said you went to Six Flags?).
But Shambhala and TOT is no suprise. One is my number one coaster and the other is my number one dark ride.
It was a tough list to make. On reflection I suppose I could remove Hulk for El toro (hell even Nitro) but I kind of have a soft spot for Hulk for some reason. HELL I HAD A BRAIN FREEZE AT THE TIME OF MAKING THIS LIST AND LEFT OUT HELIX WHICH IS ONE OF MY TOP 3 COASTERS!!

Indiana Jones at Disneyland Paris!!. Uncomfy to the point that it makes Colossus look like a spa session. Dreadful in every sense of the word.

Favourite rides (UPDATED)
1. Tower of terror (Orlando)
2. Helix
3. Taron
4. Shambhala
5. Sheikra
6. Black Mamba
7. Nemesis
8. Manta
9. Amazing adventures of Spider-Man
10. Harry Potter And The Forbidden Journey
to be fair, the top 4 are set in stone but 4 down could really be in any particular order.
The Tower is definately my outright favourite ride but my favourite coaster can easily be any of Helix,Shambhala and Taron. They are all that good!!

I'm in!! not really fussed as to what day it is as I literally live 20 minutes away

Apart from me and Steven losing to peaj at air hockey (at the same time!!), this was a great meet!!
Those views from the top of the London Eyes were simply magnificent!!. Winter wonderland was fantastic this year apart from me being an idiot and deciding to pull the restraints down too far on Olympia (which is a magnificent coaster especially for a temporary one by the way) which near enough killed my shoulders. Well done to Ryan and Paige on becoming the new meet organisers and all the best to Peaj (by the way me and Steven only let you win by the way....)

bring back The Freezer as the headline maze
That would simply be the greatest thing Thorpe Park could do when it comes to fright nights in my opinion!! It is still the scariest maze Thorpe Park have ever had and would give the event the massive shot in the arm it needs. Plus for those that only experienced Asylum and loved it, they would love Freezer as it's practically the same damn thing and Thorpe park would not have to worry about any rubbish about "offending people".
I wouldn't mind Thorpe bringing in a maze similar to "Nightbringer" at Burton Screamfest which was one of my highlights of the Halloween season.

If I'm honest, I much prefer riding without the VR. I have nothing against VR at all and utterly love Derren Browns Ghost Train (when everything's working that is!!) but I just feel that the VR on this made it feel more like a glorified motion simulator rather than a pretty good flying coaster. It also felt like the VR was out of sync with the actual movements of the ride when I went on it.

Going to Florida just before Volcano Bay opens!!
. Still excited for Kong, Harry Potter and Transformers. Haven't been to Orlando since 2010 so I have loads to catch up on -
An RMC like The Joker at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom would simply be awesome at Thorpe park if it ever happened. Wouldn't mind a Maverick style coaster either. (nothing gimmicky, just a great roller coaster, a great roller coaster will always sell itself without any need for a fancy gimmick)

Recently I visited Warwick Castle and with it The Castle Dungeon which now leaves me only needing to visit York to complete the full set of UK Dungeons and as I left, I was asked what my favourite of the Dungeons is. So I'm going to ask you all your opinions as to what your favourite one is!!
For me its
1st Edinburgh
2nd London
3rd Blackpool
4th Warwick Castle
I will squeeze York into that list if I ever get round to it!!

Great scare maze!!. Can be hit and miss at times but when it's absolutely on its game then it's a top class scare maze. The Dracula and Exorcist rooms get me every time.

Nope doesn't look out of place at all..... well there's always the much superior Florida version I guess (if me saying this jinxes that ride then you guys may happily hunt me down I guess)
