Well yesterday I went to thorpe park with my ex-scout group.We arrived at roughly 11 and after taking a peek at the glass house bar we headed straight for colosuss. We queued for front row in about 15mins and this boosted our confidence that is was going to be quiet. After a really smooth Colosuss we headed for Zodiac simply because me and me friend are really keen on it for some reason. We had a nice spin on vortex but unfortunately we didn't get fantastic seats but we still enjoyed it. And then for the big daddy, Stealth. Waited about 10 minutes and then she broke down on us and we were given priority passes:D. So we decided as we had an hour to use up before meeting with the rest of the group, why not have a tea cup marathon? We got on it about 4 times and had quite a laugh. Then a scrumptious under 12 buffet at pizza hut and we noticed stealth was up and running. We couldn't use our priority passes on Stealth, Fish or Depth Charge so we queued about 1/2 hour for a extreme back row experience. Stealth was only on 1 train today but it was understandable. We then started our trip once again at Colosuss with a head banging back row ride followed again by zodiac and we used our Passes for Vortex. After this it was to stealth for another ride and low and behold we are waiting in the gates as our friend is only the train for stealth to brake down again whilst we were in the queue. Fortunately this was for only a few minutes. Had a ncie disscusion with a guy called paul who was a host. Then head over to colosuss to find that broken! So I think we just headed for stealth for our 4th go we got on the front row and I didn't think it would be better then the back but it WAS! So it's coming to 4:45 we we have to leg it to straight re ride and we saw a host close the queue line behind us (except for one small group) meaning we were on the last ride of the day. We were quite excited so we are at the gates for the back and a op comes out the booth (?) and tells everyone to leave the station immediately. We see smoke, we leg it, we see about 50 staff run to stealth including security, we ask for more priority passes even though everything was closed and just find ourselves by the tidal wave entrance being hused by staff. My friend left his bag in pizza hut so he went to one of the bosses (I doubt they were that senior) and whilst sorting out his bag asks about Stealth and we were told a smoke machine that had not worked for a long time decided to work and give out all the smoke it had missed (or mist:P). We waited by the glass house for a while for my friend and not long after see Staff riding Stealth! She's fine Very Happy.Highlights- Park wasn't busy- The flying fish opened- The park was spotless due to the new 2 bins in every 5m policy.- Tea Cups Marathon!- Very Very few Chavs.- I discovered the sunken garden- I saw the inffiled Island, Tis quite a biggen!- Glass House and rest of the dome are looking snazzy!Lowlights- The fish queue was long- The fish is now much slower- Stealth broke down 3 times out of 4 in front of me- Nemesis Inferno has a horrible amount of mould/crud on the track just before the tunnel.- Half the park openRide Count-Colosuss x3- Front, Back, 3rd RowZodiac x2Vortex x2Stealth x4- Front and back x3Storm In A Tea Cup x4Pizza Hut x1- It's a ride to me!Just another note to increase speculation, Some trees were tagged a little while ago and I can confrim some trees (dunno if they were the same ones) have been cut down and are lying down as you start loggers on the right.
