  1. I'd personally go for Inferno although Stealth does come very close on the intensity stakes.One of my favourite things about Inferno if you like, is how quiet it is. Unlike the others which opened to major advertising campagins and set the UK coaster scene on fire (pun not intended), Inferno was like a little flicker of light. It was built with the intention of being back up to Colossus and as time goes on it continues to be the coaster that backs up Stealth, Saw and next years Swarm.I think it's a really nice coaster actually. I think its beginning with the journey through the volcano and the roar of the train is really novel, its layout is a bit blase but it has the intensity in the right places and is easily Thorpe's best rollercoaster at night.Saw suffers from the problem that it's just absolute garbage. It is the literal ride in a shed, its layout goes barely near pathways, its single trick gives me massive headaches, its nowhere near long enough for a major ride, its theming is inspired in some places, non existant in others.Colossus takes third place because its a decent ride ruined by a ridiculous loading system.
  2. That unlimited fastpass thing would be absolute chaos, serious chaos. I joined in the survey and said the best thing about the current AP's is the affordability. So lets hope ey
  3. Odds on that the minimalist supports will be only the first of many problems this ride will encounter..
  4. Any need for that Jack?
  5. To quote my own blog Jack"Everywhere we go in the world there is always someone waiting in the wings to belittle our opinion.""The problem with opinions is that everyone has one, everyone has their own fresh perspective on things and a lot of that comes down to their past experiences, what they find personally interesting. How many times have you been recommended a film, only to watch it and not sure whether it was worth all the hype?""My Opinion is my own. I go to somewhere new or I watch something I’ve never seen before with a fresh perspective. When I pull down that restraint on that brand new rollercoaster or I settle down to watch that brand new movie, I want to enjoy it. The end result is irrelevant, at the very beginning the idea is pleasure, to be enthralled in 120 minutes of stunning cinematography or 90 seconds of beautiful, technical rollercoaster action. At no point do I do something new with the intention of dis-pleasure. Because what would be the point in not enjoying your life deliberately."I think Inferno is the best rollercoaster in the park. You don't think that, doesn't make my view invalid does it? Many agree with me, many disagree with me. Isn't that the beauty of being an individual and not a sheep.As for Swarm, I share the sentiment. Thorpe's coasters don't exactly set the world alight in what they do these days so Swarm is a bit of a breathe of fresh air. It has a bit of length, a different ride style and a very unique start to the ride.
  6. IMO of course, Inferno is currently Thorpe's best rollercoaster. Saw easily takes the acclaim for crap coaster at the park.
  7. Nah. Sorry Rattle, don't buy that at all. Heirachy is the admins or mods telling you what you can and can not like (AKA Theme Park Review). Repping someone is not establishing a hierachy over someone. People make friends with other people, I don't see any war of groups on TPM particularly. Might be happening away from TPM but then that is nothing to do with the forum or website.No one has warned or banned anyone to solve a confrontational situation. We warn and ban when is needed, not unnecessarily.Judgement is personal to everyone. I don't particularly like dead cats appearing on my facebook wall either, even if I'm only seeing half the story.
  8. I'm asking B&M to ensure they build a coaster in this country every 3-4 years. Never again must they let Intamin build their drossy crap in our country when we can have fantastic coasters like Swarm built.
  9. Always said that Themeuk is one of the best websites on the web for UK theme parks. Updates like what they've done for Swarm just show how far it's come.
  10. Congratulations to this evil, abhorent bitch for winning Bigot of the year.
  11. Really well done Marc on getting these pictures.
  12. Do we know why its back?More importantly, is it staying? Quite easily the best ride soundtrack at Thorpe and really makes Detonator come alive.
  13. People who relentlessly moan. A little moaning is okay, but everything you say is a whine...Just STFU.
  14. Well done to the park for somehow (mysteriously) being up on last season. Does that include Zoo openings or is it on whole park alone?- Yes to retheme to Toytown. Just make sure Truckers get a chainsaw or some kind of grenade attack whilst your at it - Nero going sort of makes sense here. Still, never got why there was two neros so close to each other in the park. Thanks Kev..

    Quite a fan of this at the moment. Rather ashamedly I must admit.
  16. As long as it doesn't start with "from the park that bought Colossus, Nemesis Inferno, Stealth and Saw: The Ride" I think I'll be pretty happy.
  17. The problems with statistics is that it doesn't really show the true reality of whats going on out there. The overall impression is that homosexuality is acceptable by most but like, just last week, a guy was tied to a lampost and burnt alive in Scotland.All for something as trivial as sexuality.
  18. That RCT2 scream effect MUST be on there in that case.
  19. If you wanted to be extremely pedantic, it's actually the first park to open and the last park to close.
  20. I've been to parks all over the world okay, and unfortunately its only really a sad fact of life at Thorpe Park.
