  1. Sounds like a brilliant weekend .With air - you're lucky when you visit then! 4 short (the one you explained was open) is almost always open apart from right at start and end of days. Thats 40min queue full. To experience less than that on your visits before is.. just... lucky
  2. Interesting - though I swear the cost has been £40.60 for ages? There's been plenty of tickets on the floor around park saying entry 40.60 - so they've only increased it 20p?Or has this bogof £40.60 thing been in place all season, only recently being risen to 40.80 and people just becoming aware of it?

    Yeah I honestly dont understand why they have awful settings, and bother using them. Chessington is stupid

    My route FINALLY has a late train - leaving at 11.08 from London Bridge. Oh, it's amazing.Before then, the amount of times I struggled to try and ensure I got the last train home was... too many times.

    They came into use about 2 weeks ago now, pretty decent. They have a half day charge of £3 as well.Got good reception, and loads are using it. So, good investment it seems.Top tip: Don't put all your money in your locker, if there's a chance you'll go over the limit, cos you'll end up with everything stuck in there

    Thanks for the review Fever - I love yours, as they're always so unbiased and one of the best detailed ones we get on here.Seems interesting about the ride, I'll give it til after august before trying it, see if anythings progressed by then.
  7. Will we get a Worthing 4d experience like Blackpool and London then? .I rather like their midway brands going everywhere. Wonder how much they think they could charge for this.

    It's one of the few things I really genuinely like about the park - is that they put music on pretty much every single ride there. It just makes a crappy ride a great atmosphere (like.. mr monkeys).

    Oakwood doesn't, and tbh they don't really need checking unless its obvious they're not pulled down - just due to the design of those restraints.However, thorpe tells them they should be checked, and therefore they should. Oh wells!
  11. Hey, Very easy to do, here's your answers.1) Apply when jobs become available @ www.thorpeparkjobs.com2) 16 or over for host, 18 for operator.3) Bugger all. No qualifications needed whatsoever.Hope this helps
  12. Rumpy Pumpy Bumpy.Attend.
  13. A country shaped almost like a penis.I love it.
  14. That signs been there since inferno opened I believe. So, that's why it mentions the area.I have never understood why it exists though. It's like having a sign outside of thirteen reminding people to ride Nemesis. Surely they know that coaster exists as well?!
  15. Fred replied to Garyy's topic in The Past
    It'd be fast and heavy enough to give someone whiplash - never kill. It'll only hit another log (which is static) at like 20mph or so.
  16. Yes it is. I wanna go read all those book titles
  17. Fred replied to Garyy's topic in The Past
    If that's the case, then its more of a backup as well as a physical reassurance. Much like coasters have at least two PLCs to ensure nothing accidently goes wrong, they'll be there to prevent or slow down the boat from going down if the anti slip has grounded down.

    ONE.. STEP.. BEYOND.Yeah man, reading.
  19. Fred replied to Harry's topic in General Discussion
    It's weather like yesterday and the day before which makes Tidal Wave seem like an amazing investment to have.
  20. Bernards watch, The worst witch.. Woof.. Harry and the wrinklies. Original finders keepers, Fun House..Anything old and decent on CITV basically.
  21. To be fair, I do like the area theme thumping in that station. It's sexier than loading in silence.
  22. Think of poor people with balls. I've never had to consider the way I sit on a ride until SAW..
  23. I'd imagine they're not used fully/as intended, as the volcano will now fall apart from the vibrations.
  24. I have to say, this year, the thorpe staff are far better than previous years (though it may just be because I haven't visited yet this season).On a serious note, they have been gradually improving year on year - I think there's no coincidence that the staff have improved since that shouty Inferno operator left in... 07?
  25. Fred replied to Theme Park bloke's topic in The Real World
    I think it's there for the other to be all like, aww they'll flirt with me infront of others, they must like me ETC ETC.So yeah, I'm sorry. But I'm just gonna continue flirting with Tom in any way possible.
