Marc Posted June 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Because there's not a lot else to do besides stand in a queueline? #wevehadthisarguementbefore The fact that its optional theres nothing stopping you queuing for Swarm "virtually" and queueing in Stealths physical queue getting on 2 rides in the time you would normally get on one?

Cal Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 That's actually very poor! I know, it does sound bad. But it's only been Slammer down most of the season, which they could of easily given with but they didn't, and I'm really glad they didn't.

JoshC. Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 I vaguely remember it being mentioned on here a while back about a destroyed-looking box atop of the Burger King in Amity looking like it could do with some TLC. Â Well... Â It's fixed!(Tried finding a photo of the old box for compariosn, but to no avail.) Â But yeah, nice to see I guess. pluk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshC. Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Given the angle of that photo, I wouldn't be surprised if The Swarm was the reason it was destroyed, not fixed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Ahh yes I remember this discussion. Maybe BK's roof collapsed in due to water ingress so they bothered to fix it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnage... Â Carnage is it? Surely it should be accredited that things didn't go smoothly, they extended opening by an hour, and despite having issues all day, actually opened Stealth, weather it was for a day, or for twenty minutes during the time extension. Could have easily left it closed. Good on the park tbh there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Well... Â It's fixed! (Tried finding a photo of the old box for compariosn, but to no avail.) Â But yeah, nice to see I guess. Ugh, what is their obsession with corrugated metal? (Oh yeah, it's cheap and maintenance free). Every time they replace a thatch-type roof at Thorpe Park ie. Ranger County kiosks, Rumba Rapids photo kiosk they cheap out and go for industrial looking finishes. It's almost as if someone loves the way shipping containers look and wants everything else to look similar... AdventureRyan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappomatic Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Or actually is that covered in terracotta tile? Hard to tell from the photo. But those of you with longer memories will remember when that dilapidated looking blue box had a dome on top of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 According to the queue time app both Tidal Wave and Storm Surge are open right now. Tidal wave with a 90 minute queue and Storm Surge with a 10. It would make sense if they did extend the opening of Tidal Wave seeing as it has been down all day (again), so maybe they kept it open for extra time so people would be able to experience it, along with Storm Surge. Good if they did do it, if not then it must be a fault with the app? There's no messages on Facebook about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
