It's not a thrill coaster and it has never been advertised as one.

They must have money to burn if they are putting that much effort into a run of the mill teacup ride.

I'll be at this one. Although, won't be doing Merlin attractions and just the pub/meal.

No. I'm hoping it's a touch up and a retheme of sorts. Air, as a ride has nothing wrong with it.

Thanks to Europa Street. Woo!

I'm the first to say something when a place or a thing annoys me, I certainly don't have a Thorpe can do no wrong attitude. The difference is, I'm constructive. Majority of your posts read like you just really hate the place and are only going to have a good old moan about it. Trip advisor reporters probably don't start their comments with 'I bought an annual pass even though I've visited a lot this year and really think its run badly'.

We deserve a picture of you dressed up as Electric Bill.

Another year of near constant Thorpe bashing. Still, at least you found two positives.
STOP GOING THEN SERIOUSLY. Week in, week out, you tell us how bad Thorpe is. Any reasonable person would have called it a day but you keep objecting yourself to this stuff.
was it chosen by the park to keep it closed today as well then.
RIP in peace. In memory of our beloved Skyswat.
That issue could be solved by putting numbers on the pods like at Chessington. Only issue then is that loading becomes a bit of a mess.
I'm someone who has loved and hated Samurai. In it's toned down, tame Thorpe location it has on the rare occasion surprised me but majority of the time it is a glorified ferris wheel. Maybe that's okay for the up for it families that Thorpe want to attract, I don't know but for one of the most thrilling rides in the planet, I find Samurai embarrassing. Now, the thing is with a new Top-Scan, I want Thorpe to get rides that are going to last generations, not ones that have a five year shelf life at best. It's been a valiant effort to keep Samurai going, but lets face it, if they'd just packed it in around 2011 when it started spending half the season closed, a lot of wasted time would have been saved. Slammer's been open more this season, even Smiler has. Do we really want another ride that in 2020 will be closed more then it is open? If the answer is yes then so be it, but lets face it we don't know if the park are even considering this. Finally, of course Samurai is popular at Thorpe. It's wedged in between two rollercoasters, it spends 2/3 minutes zeroing and it has a throughput that makes Rattlesnake blush.
Definitely starting to prefer the Disney/Universal way of disclosing everything beforehand. This discussion has just gone plain weird.
is it worth it. A new Topspin will just go the way of this one. it arrived at Thorpe basically a brand new ride and look where we are now.
You guys want it to last the weekend right? Its barely going to make it to the end of the season so of course it's going to be running slowly.
My favourite thing about Universal is that they're not just throwing in attractions left right and centre but the work they're doing with Hulk and done with Spiderman in the past, shows how the Harry potter license has completely reinvigorated the parks. It's quite something.
Seriously thought you'd been on a lot more then me. 12 more isn't all that much. My coaster enthusiast credentials remain intact. Phew.
If it opens before this weekend, I expect it to be closed again by the end of Sunday.
