    Who wants to say thorpe has good reliability now. 4 of its main rides are closed!
  3. Then whats the Sunken garden, a portal to another universe?
  4. Mark9 replied to Marc's topic in The Real World
    Yay Area 2 for young Dann!
  5. Mark9 replied to Phill's topic in Nonsense
    I wish the Germans at Holiday park were as efficient
  6. Ah Carousel and CCR. Well if we're counting the beach then. Alton has the Gardens, the dungheap, the Gloomy walk thing, Skyride, monorail, Golf, 2 hotels, Cariba Creek, ug Swinger.AAAAAAANNNNNDDDD STRIKE!
  7. Young PeopleAlton- Doodle doo derby, River bank eye spy, Squirrel Nutty, Ug Bugs, Drivers School, Bish Bash, Tractor Ride. Total=7Thorpe- Octopus Garden, Rocky express, Banana Ride & Fungle Safari. Total= 4 (Octopus Garden equals one attraction as they are essentially large pay per ride that you don't pay for )Family RidesAlton- Log Flume Unplugged, Congo River Rapids, Runaway Mine Train, Duel, Blade, Corkscrew, Ug Swinger, Hex, Teacups, Charlie ride, Spinball Whizzer. Total=11Thorpe- Loggers Leap, Flying Fish, Depth Charge, Teacups, Rumba Rapids, Pirates 4D. Total= 6Thrill ridesAlton= Nemesis, Air, Ripsaw, Rita: Queen of Speed, Submission,Enterprise, Oblivion. Total=7Thorpe= Colossus, Stealth, Nemesis Inferno, Samurai, Slammer, Rush, Vortex, Zodiac, Tidal Wave, Detonator, X:\ No Way Out. Total= 11And that concludes the lesson. Whilst thorpe does cater slightly there isn't a good balance of family attractions. Alton has far more for everyone and doesn't rely on rubbish such as Fungle Safari.

    Why are you people getting so uptight about people wanting to turn Thorpe into a super thrill park. This topic is called YOUR THORPE PARK not what Thorpe should do in the future.

    Its a spinning wild mouse not a sofa. The cars are small because of the track gauge.. any bigger and there would be to much stress of the track.
  10. Mark9 replied to Ash's topic in General Discussion
    And then increase that by a pound every few months... the cheeky scamp. Anyway lets try and keep fastrack off of rides, not add it to ones that work fine without it.

    All this gun crime is really depressing. I hate that some members of government think its because Teenagers are bored so find ways to amuse themselves. Rubbish. When I was 14 and bored I didn't think "I know I'll kill Timmy down the road because I need entertainment" so how can they use that as an excuse.
  12. Unless you operate one. Then your practically a Fanboy god (Ps. I operate 2 rollercoasters )
  13. Mark had a choice yesterdayGo to thorpe where he would have been majorly pissed offORCollect his As results, buy pokemon diamond, eat nandos and get very drunk whilst watching Blackadder and Friends whilst sleeping round boyfriends house.Which would you choose

    Gorgeous :PFury is just so photogenic *is in love with a rollercoaster* :|
  15. There's to many rides I need to ride really. I could list some of them however Megafobia- Have been trying to ride this for agesKraken- Hopefully next year Hydra- Pwetty Unknown-
  16. Oohh yeah.. the crash between Junction 6 and junction 7. Narrowly missed that this morning. I came on at Jct 7 for work and the M25 was clear, barely any traffic. Must have all been stuck around Clackett Lane. But think of it like this. You would have had to queue for hours anyway at Thorpe, at least you did it on the cheap

  18. You are never going to tire in saying that are you And people wonder why my favourite ride is Tidal Wave Anywho My two cents. I like Fish. Many reasons but basically I like it because it isn't a ride designed solely to bring people into the park. Its testament to its unpopularity that on a day when Colossus and Stealth had 2 hour queues, Fishes was only 10 minutes. No one likes a park where everything is busy, there has to be a ride that doesn't quite fit the bill. Yes it is a joke, but it is a funny one and an enjoyable, solid ride. I much prefer Thorpe when its trying to add things for the guests enjoyment, not to make them queue. Fish and the Bear hunt are good examples of this. But back to Chessington, Mine train is clearly better, and with a higher throughput to
  19. So if everything else has longish queues then surely of course Fish will have a queue. Besides that isn't what Seb was saying. It is a joke ride, it isn't even blessed with an LED queue board when even Rocky and Fungle Safari do..
  20. What were the queues for other rides on that day just out of interest.
  21. So as we all know Chessington have been a bit hammy on the rides front over the last 3 years however rumours are around that rides are to be added in Mexicana next to Runaway Train or where Rodeo used to lie. Other rumours doing the rounds are the removal of Safari Skyway and Runaway Train. What do we think?
  22. Of course its posible, every ride has a limited life span, based on popularity and reliability. It's those two reasons which convinces me that Vampire will not be removed. Even with Fury which is significantly better, Vampire still gains the larger queues. Also it is technically a more reliable ride then Fury with very small downtime ever since its systems were redone by Vekoma. Not many people will remember how shocking the original Vampire's reliability was and how dangerous it potentially was. Vampire won't be removed for a long time as theres simpy no reason in removing a very popular rollercoaster.

    I'm pretty well behaved actually.. I'm sure anyone whos been to thorpe with me and him knows I'm very very good
  24. Mark9 replied to Sheepie's topic in UK Attractions
    I find it interesting how reliability of Fury is hugely considered in your opinion of the ride whereas it is practically ignored when you think of Thorpe Anywho there isn't a "bad" ride on Fury, just some that are not as spinny as others. The foolproof way of getting a good start is to put all the weight on the back then lean to the right. It doesn't necessarily mean the parts after Lift 2 will be spinny but you have a better chance.
