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 .
