Posted November 22, 20168 yr comment_245286 What was your first ever ride at Thorpe Park? Mine was Stealth.
November 22, 20168 yr comment_245288 Mine I can't recall I was too young at the time lets just say it was the train ride. However, I do clearly remember giving it a 4.5 rating.

November 22, 20168 yr comment_245290 Ok, 2006 onwards, Nemesis Inferno RMC day's, Slippery Serpent Hope that's acceptable.
November 22, 20168 yr comment_245295 Must have been an octopus garden flat or Canada creek railway. Also why are you all so obsessed with acceptable?
November 22, 20168 yr comment_245309 Pretty sure it was Slippery Serpent, I have no recollection of rides before then except I did Upperiecope, Carousel Kingdom, Flying Fish, Loggers Leap, Rail, Farm and Thunder River on that same visit.
November 22, 20168 yr comment_245310 Colossus... It was a brilliant first ride when I rode it (as it immeditately gets you over the fear of inversions), it's just a shame that it has aged horribly I may as well reveal, Colossus was the first coaster I rode to contain inversions
November 22, 20168 yr comment_245321 Happy Halibuts was mine. No. Seriously. This was waaaay back in 2003 when I was a wee lad! What actually happened to that? Only surviving Octopus Gardens ride I know of was Swinging Seashells which of course was shipped over to Weymouth SeaLife somewhere around Storm Surge's appearance.
November 22, 20168 yr comment_245332 Oh jeez - probably CCR - first visited in the very early 90s and was scared of pretty much everything - including Tea Cups and Flying Fish 4 hours ago, ThemeParkCrafter said: Must have been an octopus garden flat or Canada creek railway.

November 23, 20168 yr comment_245338 Depth Charge when I was 6 yrs old also that day I also went on flying fish , tidal wave, loggers leap, Canada creek railway, rapids, rocky express, octopus garden, teacups and quantam
November 23, 20168 yr comment_245345 Vortex it was! No idea why, just remember as a kid I decided to go clockwise from the dome and just try and do the map
November 23, 20168 yr comment_245346 The ones I can remember were the Treasure Island Railway, Thunder River and some sort of strange bicycles....I feel so old now.
November 23, 20168 yr comment_245357 First time I remember Vortex However probably CCR back in the day

November 24, 20168 yr comment_245372 Going way back to 1999, Depth Charge was my first ever ride at the park and I still have the picture to prove it. In terms of hitting that magic 1.4m height mark and being able to get on everything big in the park, it was July 2004 when I was 9 years old and I just scrapped the height restriction where I had to have a band to confirm I'm on the limit. Vortex was the first one I did and it will always be my favourite flat ride, as that was the one that started it all for me.
November 24, 20168 yr comment_245373 Would've been Depth Charge, but there was a 20 minute queue and I didn't fancy queueing on that bouncy staircase so mine was, I think, Flying Fish? But my dad and sisters was Depth Charge On Tuesday, November 22, 2016 at 5:54 PM, Coaster Jamie said: *Yawn* Do you have anything of any use to add to this topic? Yes Jamie you complaining about absolutely everything to do with Merlin adds so much of use to any topic.

There's plenty of people who don't like the way the Merlin parks are heading at the moment, granted I'm more vocal about my views than most but then again, I'm don't complain about "absolutely everything" as you've said. I'm not sure why you've felt the need to quote me with a sarcastic response, my original post was in response to a joke that I've seen in a lot of topics, it was amusing at first but it's gotten boring.
November 24, 20168 yr comment_245375 Jamie's right, it is a little silly now. If I was in his shoes, I'd be frustrated by it too. I seem to remember my first Thorpe ride being Colossus, think I was probably 10/11 years old? I was absolutely terrified! (Fun fact, when I was very young I would never go on those small rides outside shops etc as I was scared of them, so a 10 year old me doing Colossus was a bit mad.)
