  1. I'm a bit uncertain. According to a few sources in the park 9 of the parks attractions will be SBNO this year, three of them rollercoasters.1 - Noah's ark2 - Rollercoaster3 - Space Invader 24 - Gold Mine5 - Trauma Towers6 - Impossible7 - Caterpillar ride8 - Helicopters9 - Fairy WhipWhether the park survives is entirely down to the current management team who seem insistent on running the park down piece by piece. Expensive entry prices (you can't just enter now, you have to pay to just be in there) means a lot of potential customers are immediately put off. Testing times for sure.

    No, I wasn't saying other forums are taking the mick, I was saying some members are taking the mick.

    Outfit does not represent the views on the TPM management team
  4. Rameses did have quite long queues this year. Certainly a lot of the time it would have up to 30 minute queues. Part of the reason its queue is shorter then Rattlesnake majority of the time is because of throughput, no inversions on rattlesnake and spectatorship. People don't know what to expect from Rattle as most of it is hidden away and so are more likely to try it. Its the same reason dark rides such as No Way Out and Black Hole always had/have stupidly long queues.
  5. If you see the inside now it will really ruin your first ride. Surprise is far better then being told everything so you know what to expect. I'm wondering Holly if you could tell me, why is it when someone likes something they are said to **** over it... I doubt anyone here gets aroused by rollercoasters. Unless there is something you aren't telling us
  6. The problem from my point of view is that Thorpe has all the interest, whilst no one really cares at all about Chessington. Just look at the amount of posts in the Chessington sub-forum for proof of that. With Alton Towers there's a lot more competition with the excellent Towers Almanac and Towers Times. We want to do Alton Towers justice and are taking our time (2 years so far to be exact) with it.The sites will come but due to our close links with Thorpe Park we are able to provide for that far more.
  7. It'd on there under XC3000/2000. Which is ridiculous as the Winjas are on there and yet they are both two different rides.

    Just to re-remind people off this topic. Just because it's the holidays doesn't mean you can post lots and lots of spam. There's been a few bannings today because people just aren't getting the message. We're not an overly strict forum but some are starting to make the mick.Also if people want to call me power-mad, they need to get some perspective on life.
  9. The Mitch Hawker poll results are in. There are no UK rollercoasters in the top five for both categories, however Nemesis retains a top ten spot at Number 6 in the steel poll.Other notable spots:-61. Nemesis Inferno : Thorpe Park69. Speed : Oakwood77. Stealth : Thorpe Park87. Oblivion : Alton Towers107. Air : Alton Towers123: Rita: Alton Towers129: Colossus : Thorpe Park139: Knightmare : Camelot202: Rage : Adventure Island343 : X:\No Way Out : Thorpe Park

    The ECC Website has the lay-out of SW6 on its homepage. Whether it actually ends up like that is anyones guess, but bare in mind the ECC are very reliable.http://www.coasterclub.org/
  11. Detty won't be departing for a while. It takes up very little space in the park, its a firm favourite with the guests and is the scariest ride there (shove it Stealth). Besides if every ride was removed because one person hated it there would be nothing left at the park.
  12. Last time I tried to move posts I ended up deleting a whole topic...Woops!
  13. There's a reason there aren't pictures though, only Thorpe Park are able to really get good shots of anything Saw related. Unless you just happen to be walking past Thorpe Park or on monks walk when they send a car round, there won't be any fan related spoiler leaks. It's not like Stealth which can be seen for miles.
  14. If it was me I wouldn't go to work just to up-load a video..
  15. Sorry Mr Hicks, that is WRONG.According to Sp's Samurai archive, it was finally removed from Chessington on the 12th November.Samurai Archive
  16. Has anyone thought that as its christmas, Thorpe park's management may be on holiday leave by now. At the very least give em a break, its the weekend.

    So if I said "I want to kill someone"Would your response be "go kill someone then"
  18. I don't think I've ever heard that when coming off Inferno. And I spent a whole year single riding it in 2004
  19. Seb.. I hope you aren't insulting the wonderful box of delight. To be fair to it, at least its themed unlike the back-end of Inferno.
