March 19, 201312 yr comment_153609 Have the Rumba boats been spruced up a bit as well? I'm not sure if the branding was on them last year or not, as I went on F&F day and Rumba wasn't open for that! Same boats though as Emma says, as far as I can tell!
March 19, 201312 yr comment_153612 Yes the Capital letters THORPE PARK logo was on the Rumba boats last year.
March 19, 201312 yr comment_153666 They don't look too bad. Pretty sure they're not entirely new trains though?
March 19, 201312 yr comment_153667 The high backs used to be a bit of a pain, as you weren't able to fully look around and behind you during the braking.
March 19, 201312 yr comment_153668 They don't look too bad. Pretty sure they're not entirely new trains though? No, I think they are the old trains but they have just been heavily refurbished. I like them, it's just a shame the old thorpe park logo is gone (I knew it would be, just a shame)
March 19, 201312 yr comment_153702 Looks a great improvement from the old.so apart from the Sbno railway we've lost all the old pre-tussauds Thorpe logos?
March 21, 201312 yr comment_153885 Really like the new/new look trains. Shame about the logo, but I understand why they chose not to have it. It is possible they chose to retain the original skeleton/challis though if you ask me, the entire train is new. Whatever the case, looking awesome. I hope the ride opens soon so we can see inside.
March 21, 201312 yr comment_154028 Please tell me there's more leg space! I can't really see in the photos!
March 24, 201312 yr comment_154272 Have the Rumba boats been spruced up a bit as well? They've had a good clean - very bright and shiny inside!
March 26, 201312 yr comment_154522 The X page has once again been updated. Maybe an opening is nearing? http://www.thorpepark.com/rides/x.aspx
March 26, 201312 yr comment_154524 Oooh, looks good. Anyone have any ideas what Images 5-7 are showing? I don't recognise that 'piece' from X:\? I'm heading to Thorpe tomorrow; fingers crossed that it might be open..
March 26, 201312 yr comment_154530 Its just what X ever needed, loud music, decent lighting rig and a lower height restriction IMO.
March 26, 201312 yr comment_154531 Ride aside the queue section and lead up to the ride should be much better now. A good bit of theming and the whole ride experience could be greatly improved even if the coaster still isn't great.
March 26, 201312 yr comment_154535 Looks great! Hopefully they have some new bassy speakers in there too really excited to go on this, hoping it's open for Easter holidays (I expect it will be)
March 26, 201312 yr comment_154545 It's amazing what a lick of paint and some lights can do to make a difference
March 26, 201312 yr comment_154550 Hmm so they've finally found a way to have smoke in the ride without triggering the fire systems?
March 26, 201312 yr comment_154552 Simple process to be honest (but of course involves a bit of money), replace smoke detectors with heat detectors.
March 27, 201312 yr comment_154558 This is looking great but I'm still saddened they choose to turn it forwards, backwards in the dark was there thing it was unique, one of there few remaining wolds first/only rides and they've taken that away from it and now what's it left with, some pretty lights and a spruce up, it's like I've waken up in a nightmare world of opposites X goes forwards and Swarm goes backwards now that really is X WTF? lol
