Did you ride Jimmy Neutron? Or Twister? Or ET?

The surprise was ruined by a video that was projected in the ramp area that showed the trains going backwards. Well, until that broke anyway.

They are simulators as much as shutting yourself in a cupboard and humming is a simulator.The "lift" in MIB is much much bigger than the X:/ "lifts" and less confined. I personally wouldn't like to be shut in that small area with some of thorpe's clientele but there you go.

There's nothing scary about Saw The Ride...really.

Still think the Saw station is the best station at thorpe by miles.

If I'm completly honest, I'd like to see the back of X:/. It's taking up a huge amount of space for what it actually is and wouldn't mind loosing hellgate as you could quite easily build a maze on it's site and probably a better ride as well.

It was just all that random robot rubbish sticking out of the walls, the spinning tunnel and some of those hanging bag type things you get in funhouses. The "lifts" were just you being locked in that room before the station and some very tinny audio. You're not missing much really not seeing it.

A cheeseless pizza is FAIL.

I wouldn't personally go on it if the queue is longer than 10 minutes, maybe 15 at a push.The theming is the best part, it's everything else that's lacking.

I can't remember the last time I went through the tunnel and couldn't actually see anything but that certainly was the case on Thursday.Excellent stuff.

Visited yesturday.Thorpe really surprised me. Usually when I visit thorpe at the start of the season I find it the same as it always is but was happy to find that the park have taken action and put some effort into making the park look great.Whilst I'm still not liking the giant heads I like the rest of the branding, it's colourful and exciting and suits the park well. It's been really consistently applied too-even on the claw games!I love how the new shark in Amity can be seen inside the building too! Wasn't expecting that!Rumba Rapids was indeed amazing. Never got so wet on it before!I am so impressed with the state of Nemesis Inferno. The mist is on an incredible amount-can't remember the last time I came out of the tunnel wet and you can't really see in there either! The ride itself is the best ride at thorpe this year, it's got so much better over the years.My feelings about Saw Alive have been posted in the Saw Alive topic. I didn't really go for it that much.Saw the ride itself has become very rough. Colossus felt smoother to me in all honesty. Shame as I really like the ride itself.Why has Neptune's kingdom been replaced with erm..nothing other than an area of turf? I can understand removing it if it was actually going to be used for something but why was this done?

People jumping out from corners is the only scares you really get on it and they aren't particularly scaryI highly doubt it was an accident, the time between us being kicked out both times were too quick to have been two accidents.

I dunno. We got evacuated from it once about a quarter of the way around. About five minutes later we went in again but only got as far as the first room where we were evacuated again!

Wasn't particually left with a great impression after it broke down on us twice before we actually got through the whole thing.I'm gonna label pros and cons of itPros- Theming is of high level in most places The vibrating floor is a nice idea in the electric area Nice use of an actual camera in the first section. We danced on it Good use of smells. Smelled like someone had used it as a toilet. ConsThe atmosphere when you walk in is killed by the somewhat pointless photo point. Does exactly the same on the exit too. A serious lack of actors. I wasn't expecting millions but both times I went on there was no one in an obvious scare point which is as soon as the maze starts All the actors wanted help as apposed to scare us. The pigs are supposed to do that I guess but we saw one on the first go and that was it. The saw scenes they've chosen aren't really the well known ones. A poor ending which is ruined even more with an attempt to sell me a photo. One of the effects on an actor was clearly a plastic effect and didn't look real

Firstly...Nemesis and Oblivion don't look rubbish in POV. Secondly, why are people not allowed an opinion if it's not positive? I will evaluate the ride when I go on it later in the year but currently I'm going on what everyone who likes it too is going on, a poorly presented video with a site that looks like a construction site.The ride might surprise me-I still think the indoor drop in Saw is the best part...

Pirates 4D was a million times better than Time Voyagers. As tacky as Pirates is, it felt like a proper film whilst Time Voyagers is almost like sitting through a 4D tech demo more than anything else.

I think it would have been better if they had made the doctor pepper look 1950's style but I suppose you can't have everything.I'm fine with it other than the bridge which is a bit garish.

What, no team swiper?

I think there's a minor overeaction here guys. It's a bit childish but it's not the end of the world.Since when did fanboys become moral guardians anyway?

It's a shame they can't be a little subtle. We know the rides are scary-putting a picture of some guy pissing himself is rather desperate.It seems targeted at a younger age group if anything else. I like the idea (and some of the little people) but it's spoilt by it's own immaturity.

^Agreed. I went through hell doing an XP update all those years ago.

Abusive phone calls from people at my sisters school.It's not bothering me so much but it's really upsetting the rest of the family. Thankfully the idiots forgot to hide their number so we should be blocking them soon.

My sign is ride is ready?Oh and the song is actually called Human.
