Is tomorrow the new thing for Slammer?

No they haven't done a good job. A good job would be to make it actually look good for opening. Stop allowing for second best. They could've easily completed that entire thing overnight if they wanted to, they didn't. They ended up with an absolute hellhole of an entrance for 10,000 guests to see as their first opinion of their park. Argh this frustrates me beyond belief.

^Definitely a project which should be put up and finished overnight. Christ almighty. What would the guests who've never visited the park be thinking?! (probably the same as those which have visited before to be fair...)

Tories for me. And I voted, because it's a right we have and therefore I'd feel like I can't add to any discussions if I don't use it. Infact I got stressed when I thought I wouldn't have time to vote so yeah. In any terms, district voting thingy it's Labour here somehow, god knows how they manage to build up their case with bugger all arguments for them and the biggest plonker ever running it (Cameron's a plonker too but least he knows stuff, Wallace doesn't have a clue). Talking about this, I had leaflets for most parties through the door so I took the time to read them (I thoroughly believe in if someones put effort in to show me something, I'll give effort by reading/doing whatever). Labours was the only one which used entirely aggressive "why not to vote" stuff, and nothing as to why you'd want to vote them. That really winds me up, tell me what you stand for, not telling me why I shouldn't vote UKIP.

Yes, inferno just keeps getting better with age. I quite enjoy it nowadays (I used to enjoy it 10 years ago, just it was a coaster you could sleep on whereas now you can't)

Luckily Megafobia and Speed are just so re-ridable it doesn't matter too much! I've never regretted my 5hr travel each way to the park!

Lol that dodgems. Hello Lightwater Valley.

....that sign I just posted, which doesn't even fit the plaque it sits on.. looks really good? You have low expectations if that's the case.

Yeah they need to put up a video. It has music playing everywhere, literally everywhere. It's got atmosphere. Anyone who's been to Thomas Land, it has pretty much the same feel about it. Which is a very good thing.

Is that them leaving the old branding (and indeed the photo unit) still in situ? Tbf I don't think signage is their strong point in this area:

Someone doesn't know their ASDA history. It was created in the 1920s, became a supermarket, almost went bankrupt in the mid 90s and was eventually bought by Wal Mart. They're still quite british in most of their ways, surprisingly.

Happy birthday Thorpe Park!

Pretty sure they were all set to open last year, until they realised they'd destroyed the track by using the genie on it (and that section has now been removed). Once they've replaced that bit they'll all be good to go.. as long as they haven't seized the engines.

Rita has been closing loads recently. Poor thing. But they're crap rides anyway soooo

How can anyone say Get Set Go is the laziest? The station is completely themed, the inside area of the ride is full of theming and tv screens, the cars themselves have bloody on board audio. IT'S A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE.

830 every day!

It feels like time to leave.. when the youngens are as old as I was when I started feeling old on here. Balls.

They've brought back what the queue used to be, albeit with new sound effects. The entrance to the queue plus the area (so where the games are) plays the inferno theme, the queueline plays sound effects, the station plays the dispatch theme (and used to be nothing inbetween that but now plays the 07 loading theme). They've essentially gone back to how it all was originally. Which is kinda goood.

Agreed. Sounds amazing. Infact most audio does, but it seems like they've still some work to do ala Stealth. Also, shame they've decided to bring back the god damn awful 07 loading for inferno. That should die a death.

They've been having issues with the purple train a bit. So I imagine this will be the reason for one train goodness.

Really not well planned if they want people to use the fastrack entrance before 10am. What happens if vampire gets a queue? You'll have a long queue in fastrack and main entrance. Actually I remember them doing this for annual pass holders when I worked there like 8yrs ago, and it was absolutely shambholic. Glad they've decided to do the exact same thing again. Just bloody offer an early ride time style thing using the main entrance before 10am and have done with it.

True, it's got an awful name. Can't help thorpe decided to go through a **** period of its life and rename the wonderful Glass House

They're testing that out at the moment (hence lola appearing a few times). The idea is that all rides will appear on the new queue system, however maybe not necessarily the app (all Cbeebies will be on app though)

Used to visit a few times a year as used to live right by it. Haven't been in like 10 years though, mental!!

Again, compare this to Rip Ride Rockett. Stealth is actually better themed and a far nicer queueing experience.
