Why would it effect Thorpe, Cedar added theirs as a support ride to the 16 coasters. It's a small footprint and is an easy marketing gimmick.. many parks in Europe are doing the same, for instance Liseberg in Sweden.

When its testing it doesn't matter as if it gets stuck no one will be on it to complain, tell the media, get into distress etc.. its obvious.

Couldn't care less about the donut, I love the little "hello world" message

I can't stand tea either.... HOT CHOCOLATE IS THE ONE!

To be honest since 2004 Amity Cove has gone to crap. I can remember in 2003 sitting in Amity with everything working. It's not just about the big things which made Amity memorable it was things like the working entrance sign, the flashing traffic lights, the police barrier fences, the queueline theming in a complete state. Since 2004 things have started to stop working, the radio was badly re-edited old paint is just repainted in colour so all the effort that went in 8 years ago is just wiped out. And we're never get it back either!

Oh its a big problem but I'm not into showing off knowing something.. although this post is ironic and makes me look bigheaded. Lets just say....... Oh to hell with it I KNOW SOMETHING YOU DON'T

I've been stuck on Inferno for half an hour in the break run and samurai wouldn't lower once. I usually get to watch the brekdowns.. theres so many but rarely am on it when it happens. Ooh actually thinking about it I was on Detonator when it wouldn't release the gondola.

Thats alright then, everyone on here loves far away from each other

God us gayers are hilarious ."Haven't you read it I don't want to spoil the ending for you"

Cringle.. not to be overly critical but everyday.. c'mon mate this is Thorpe.

Awwww. And Thorpe wants your money

[off topic] the whole of Canterbury smells of Mcdonalds Hash browns[/off topic]

There used to be this really cool hotel in Boscombe, was absolutely gorgeous. But then it got redeveloped and is now rubbish *sighs*

Thing is Cringle a lot of parks are having rides open, regardless of there "size". Southend has rides open all through the Winter, Alton is having a steam fair + oblivion, Cwoa is have 3 extra rides, Paultons whole park is open over Christmas, Blackpool is opening a few attractions over half term as well. So to say that Thorpe is doing something completely differnet is really far out there. Its only because of a blind fanbase that believes Thorpe are doing them a favour when really the whole Tussauds group is playing catch up.I'm avoiding it even if it will be an enthusiast ****-fest because there is nothing redeeming in going. Poor Rage a new ride which will knock Stealth for six is being completely ignored, its a shame that the rose tinted Thorpe glasses have come on here.

I'm a raging bisexual...well I like both although I've only been with 2 guys. My current relationship is now 10 months old, and I'm incredibly in love with him. So there you go.

Yes MY RIDE is closed. Its a bit to cold for Tidal wave at the moment.

People read my posts. Oh. Dear. God

My most distant memory was on my first visit in 1999. First ride we went on was Fish (queued 40 minutes ). I also remember being annoyed about the cul de sac by Loggers Leap and Calgary Stampede. Actually that annoys me about the arcade and Detonator.. there must be a quicker way :PMy favourite year for Thorpe was 2003. Tidal Wave was cemented as my favourite ride and I recall between 6 and 7:30 the park was absolutely dead leading to constantly running round doing Colossus the whole time. Fantastic.

Tidal Wave is Thorpe's second greatest asset. Anyone wants to argue with its popularity then I dare you to queue for it during the summer.

Thats a permanent structure though. Take The proposed flying island at Chessington that got refused on height issues despite the fact outside park opening hours it would never be at its full height.And its white because in a few years the rust will be noticeable so it will fit into amity cove more.**May be a lie.

See the thing is Tidal Wave is less wet in colder weather. less people ride equalling a lighter boat meaning a smaller splash.. in theory .
