  1. That should be fine, ill double check and get back to you tommorow.
  2. I acutally have a pointless Tech Exam which I could not care less about in the afternoon, so probbably not worth it, free any other day this week though.
  3. Awesome, have a good time. I'm off to Royal Ascot
  4. Okay, it is probbably an exaggeration, but come on guys, its pretty awful. I have been on Jungle Rapids at Gardaland, now that was a well themed, fun rapids ride, perfect.
  5. A rollback on the flying fish would be pretty awesome
  6. It is a joke. The worst rapids ride in the world!
  7. Although they have now launched 2/1 offer on Sunday's if you book online. Probbably won't have a massive effect, but something to note.
  8. So you can't even compliment individual staff members on this forum anymore, how pathetic.
  9. Personally, I think that's a poor move from the Towers. They should have got this work done before or after Half Term.
  10. I would be glad and interested to assist you on this site and will be available from June 18th (after last exam).
  11. No, your right it is really really close. The car starts the lift once of the MCBR. Hmmm surely thats a safety hazard, or maybe they have programmed the system so that the car can start before the other car has reached the MCBR but can only be released at the top after it has been cleared?
  12. I was acutally at the opening of the Studios park, it was full of celebrities the night before, I can still remember all of this, even though I was 7! I also remember going on the Armagedon ride and getting scared of the fire!
  13. Decent day at the park yesterday, still quite busy and still a outrageous number of breakdowns. Rides that opened late or broke down included:Flying FishDetonaterInferno (opened on one train at 11pm + several breakdowns)Stealth (opened around 2pm)SawRushVortex
  14. No joke, today was absolute shambles and I assure you that I will not be returning any time soon. This is probably the worst trip I have ever had. The reliability was beyond a joke, here is a list of the rides that broke down or opened late today:StealthSawRushSamuraiDetonatorVortexSlammerTidal WaveThe worst ride was Stealth. I queued for it 4 times, it broke down all four and at one point had to empty the queue line to run maintenance checks. Whatever Intamin have done, it's not working. The park's attitude towards fastrack is disgusting. Employees were repeatedly going for the big sale just outside queue entrances. The park oversold fastrack massively, making the already long queues even longer. For example, Saw's fastrack queue was back to the photo collection booth. I know it's not the park's fault it was so busy, but they could of managed the crowds allot better then they did. Also the usual problems of Chav's queue jumping and smoking, which staff did not deal with.After recently visiting Alton Towers, I realised what a joke this park really is. Shame.
  15. Today was Thorpe park back to its absoutle worst. Dismal. Packed full of dirty Chavs who were continually smoking and queue jumping throughout the day. Ride avaliabilty was poor, no Stealth with a number of breakdowns from Saw, Inferno and Detonater.
  16. I am heading up to the park for the weekend, so just a few questions I hope someone can answer for me.1. What time does the monorail open and do you need to catch it in order to reach the front entrance?2. Is there an advance ticket collection office, just like Thorpe Park, if so where is it located?3. Where would you recommend eating, bar pizza outlets?4. What rides are avaliable for ERT?Many Thanks,Jack.
  17. It was 2 hours, at one point even more. Now even 75 minutes is a bit of a joke for a sodding zamperla disko!
  18. The full advert can be found here :
