Dan9 Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Every time I've been it's been open on time fine..And as for the heater thing, I love how Nemesis Inferno's tunnel is nice and cool. Fantastic on a hot day! . And a heater would probably just be another thing to go wrong, even if it would make it feel more volcano-like.

Phyciodes Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Today Trip Report- Really enjoyed today! One of my best there!Park was pretty busy! But as ususal theres always the times in the day when queues die down, quite a few school trips so queues did go down quite a lot nearer the end of the day when they left.Queue times- Or from what I saw the average(longest- shortest from what I saw)Saw-70 mins-45 minsColossus-60 mins-10 minsStealth- 60 mins- 10 minsNemesis- 40 mins- 5 minsX- Seemed fairly quiet all day, about 20 mins maxWater rides- Busier than I thought they'd be considering the weather, excluding tidal waveSlammer-30 mins- 10 minsRush- 50 mins- 10 minsVortex- 50 mins- 5 minsDetonator- 20 mins- 5 minsSamurai- looked about 20 mins all dayDidn't arrive till late so wasn't aware of the earlier queue times, as I say queues did drop significantly on almost everything for parts of the day, especially the end.Ride Count-Saw-1Colossus-1Nemesis-2Stealth-2X-1Rush-1Slammer-1Detonator-1Vortex-1Zodiac-1Rumba-1Meh can never know if I have the full lot but who cares. Longest queued was about 70 mins for Saw, part from that didn't really queue over 30 mins for anything, apart from slammer which seemed to be taking forever to load, plus a maintenance check before we got loaded. Didn't actually see one breakdown today from what I saw, and I'm pretty sure everything was open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordcutter6 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Had great day today , saw a few familiar faces off here a number of times . Colossus was broken down untill about 2-3.

Marc Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Went today... Was surprisingly quiet, I guess with the bad weather forecast people decided to stay away.Got there just after opening, all rides were open apart from Colossus which didnt open till around mid day. Inferno mist is getting better, all rides seemed to run pretty well, didnt see much in the way of downtime apart from a couple of empty Nemesis and Saw cars.Ride count:Stealth 4?Colossus 1Inferno 3Samurai 2Saw 2Rush 3Tidal Wave 1Loggers Leap 2Rumba 1Teacups 1Fish 2Quantum 1Zodiac 2Slammer 1X 1Vortex 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phyciodes Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Good day today, although we went home at 2 cause my mate was feeling very ill after vortex Completely emphasis with him! Vortex has a way of making people feel ill. lol. Anyway also went today- Seemed pretty busy really! Well at points anyway, had intended to go for a camera trip in the first place with lots of video footage which we did! so was happy to get camera footage and now get a heap load of editing and video making to do.Anyway arrived at park around 10:30ish when everything was quiet.- Went on detonator first which was walk on- Then to Nemesis which was walk on- Then to Stealth which was walk on, followed by another 3 rides on Stealth, 1 being front row. =]Other rides done-- Loggers Leap- 1- Rush- 2- Samurai- 1- Vortex- 2- Flying Fish- 1- CCR- 1Plus the- Stealth- 4- Nemesis- 1- Detty- 1And loadss of camera footage. So yeah good day! Very warm! And left park at 4:00There were some ride breakdowns, which goes without saying...Have to say I was very dissapointed with my BBQ ribs! Which is a shame cause I do enjoy going to that Calypso BBQ but it just seems to me as if the standard has gone down, they were drenched with BBQ sauce and just not appitising....

However, Slammer was open after a few test runs in the morning.Unfortunately, Loggers Leap remained closed all day.SAW: The Ride broke down around 2:30pm and remained closed all day.My first ride on SAW: The Ride - Amazing! I was screaming like a girl! (like usual ) - I was really scared tbh but enjoyed it with a 0 mins queue! :PAlso, I saw Alfonso for the first time! I never really got what was so good about him but he is so nice! The way he spoke to us was just so complimenting and just Alfonso increased my happiness and gave THORPE PARK a better reputation in my eyes!Also, 1st time meeting tbkabz face to face and you are amazing and cute! :DA great day with great people!10/10!(10 even though Loggers Leap was unavailable which is one of my favourites and have not rode since November 2008 as broken down exery time I have gone!)

Bad Points-A very rude employee on Inferno yesterday called 'Poppy' She was shouting at our group to get in Row 7 when there were already people there. So we missed a ride because she wouldn't let us in another row and we had to wait until we could get in Row 7 only to find out that they were only letting 2's on the back for some unknown reason so we missed about 3 rides because of this incredibly rude girl shouting at a bunch of 15 and 14 year olds... We were going to complain but we were rushed for time so we couldn't -Saw Queue Line said 40 Minutes and in fact it took almost 80 Minutes for us to get on =S -The girl selling ice creams in the Saw Queue had sold out two people before us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is generally a very nice employee, and there are often problems with mis-communication between ride staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
