This.

Thanks for the fantastic report Eiddef, nice to read something on a park I know very little about. Much appreciated

Love how detailed the negative points are compared to the positives.

A time travelling post?! (The 3DS has sold 44.4 million worldwide and has sent an extremely low percentage of people into seizures).

Thats awesome. No wonder enthusiasts love Cedar Point.

Sorry Jason, but like Thorpe Park, I EXPECT UNDIVIDED ATTENTION AND OBEDIENCE ##unvote ##vote Jason

I am the Intamin king, no matter what you try and throw at me Kanonen, I would just enjoy it more and more AND MORE. I mean this is my Baco face for crying out loud. MOTHER BUZZING BACO. And I love it.

I Marc Simpson see all with my knowing eye. ##vote Cornflakes SILENCE SHALL NOT BE TOLERATED.

You could say the same for Monster. B&M's seem to have longevity on their side it seems.

Sorry guys I was eating Creams at Thorpe Park, whilst on grindr searching for naked Reading players. Yes thats right, I'm Marc Simpson, Thorpe Park master or Lord, King or just Ruler if you so decide. Bow to me.

Oh go on then, my B&M list, although it isn't limited to Europe (as I am yet to ride them all) 1. Nemesis 2. Superman de Acero 3. Katun 4. Oz'Iris 5. Tatsu 6. Shambhala 7. Kumba 8. Dragon Khan 9. Medusa 10. Manta 11. Scream 12. Sheikra 13. Oblivion 14. Black Mamba 15. Raptor 16. The Swarm 17. Riddlers Revenge 18. Batman The Ride (Backwards at MM) 19. Silver Star 20. Kraken 21. Montu 22. Nemesis Inferno 23. Chinese Fireball 24. Air 25. The Incredible Hulk 26. Dæmonen 27. Hungarian Hungtail 28. Silver Bullet 29. Batman La Fuga

Agree with the top five, such a fantastic group of rides (even if I am partial to a bit of Superman de Acero myself). After them, the rides are solid but not outstanding and yet perfectly acceptable.

Am I missing something here? I mean, it's £10 if you book after the 1st October for people owning a standard pass and it's £5 if you book before then. You've got four weeks to plan a trip(s) with some friends and if you don't book before hand, then you have to pay the extra. By enticing people to book early, Thorpe have a better idea on attendances and can plan accordingly. It all seems very JUMP TO THE WORST POSSIBLE CONCLUSION in here to be honest. Thorpe will push it as far as they can in terms of what people will pay to get in. If attendance drops massively over the event, then I bet the £10 charge disappears.

I think it will be very busy. I'd go the week after to guarantee a quieter trip.

I really like this trip report, so thanks for that Matt. Even though it looks pretty much like a permanent funfair, for some reason I thought it looks really picturesque, particularly with the mountains surrounding the park. =)

Silly question Benin, Europa Park just care that much more about the guest experience then the majority of the parks out there. Common knowledge surely

Yeah about that, if you want to throw the grammar card out, you might want to make sure your own post is perfect first. Pot kettle black and all that.

Wouldn't that be more appropriate then to go flying off towards Storm Surge.

Thorpe Park Mania does not condone such actions as having your bar as far up as possible. That sort of action, could lead to serious consequences...

People enjoyed Rodeo, Boneshaker, Dynamo, Vampire with its classic trains, Big Bad Wolf at Williamsburg was adored, Samurai at Chessington was a force to be reckoned with. I even used to love a pulled pork sandwich which Waitrose used to sell. It doesnt change the fact that Slammer has been on borrowed time for years and it is only to Thorpe's credit that they have put up with its reliability for so long.

No they won't. Whats with this Merlin will do this, Merlin will do that rubbish people keep spouting. It didn't save the worlds first blackwards roller coaster being turned to face forwards, what makes you think Slammer will stay if it becomes to expensive to keep.

Just a reminder of this people, I'm going back to this policy, as some of the posts on TPM at the moment are borderline spam. I'll be moderating the Thorpe Park part for the forums a lot more harshly for the next few weeks, so before you post think about the relevance of the post before hitting the add post button. Thank you for your time.

It was amazing the first time I was told theres a Goodfellas Pizza. Five mentions later, it isn't quite as woah.

Oh me, me me please

You won't upset the fanboys here, Detonator is one of the best drop towers out there.
