  1. The Bear Hunt which opened on Saturday is a look out for bears through the Canadian Rockies.. so what do you think of the Canada Creek alterations and the attraction itself?I thought it was bloody excellent and Tussauds first real attempt at theming at the park since Tidal Wave. Considering it seemed to be a last minute thing, it's really been pulled of nicely. Its a bit short but considering its using something that otherwise would have been left blank its a great little ride that Families will enjoy.

    Jobs..

    Stick to the coke can
  3. Fury had some issues today... its queue was about an hour all day
  4. I'd just like to say its not really Thorpe's fault that rusty water landed on you. I doubt they did it deliberately.. they give you free tickets, there wasn't much more they could do.
  5. I've got 2 cats names Holly and Sasha and 2 kittens called Misty and Amber. Pic below of the kittys http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v416/Fur...=Picture081.jpg
  6. I also queued 45 minutes on Saturday. Was definitly more then the 5 minutes they were advertising at the queue entrance.. Secondly it doesn't matter if they didn't need the second train, it would have been nice to not have to queue so long.

    Your Thorpe Park

    Neither will they be removing Tidal Wave but you seem to want it.

    Phone Network

    O2. They offer a lot on the sim I got. I get 500 free texts a month and 300 free minutes if I top up 30 pounds a month as well as 10% on all top-ups every 3 months. Besides me and my partner are both on O2, any other network and it would be bloody expensive.
  9. Only at Thorpe could a run of the mill Mack coaster be restricted opening.

    From now on.. these are your gods!
  11. Yes.. if its I believe its a "shunt stop" in which all power is completely cut for the ride, hence why it takes so long for it to stop.
  12. You've been to them all then I take it :huh:You'd hate Big Dipper, Wild Mouse, roller coaster and Great Yarmouth's roller coaster as they still operate with wooden brakes. I don't think Shockwave does run with wooden block breaks but then I haven't been since 2005 and after the rubbishness that is G Force. I'm in no hurry to go back.
  13. Wales.. Google is your friend next time

    Rush

    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.
  15. 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.

  19. 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!
  20. 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
  21. 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.
