March 28, 201312 yr comment_154706 The new height restriction sounds great. To be honest there is more risk of falling out of a log flume than getting hurt on a small coaster so I can't see it being a problem. Hopefully it will add a new experience to smaller riders and will add something to the park that X couldn't in the past.
March 28, 201312 yr comment_154709 I heard from a member of staff today that X should open "at the end of March or beginning of April". He also said that Ministry of Sound are involved with X, and it includes a £30,000 light show. (This was heard by a staff member who worked on Swarm, so a different ride area to X I think, so take that for what you will. )
March 29, 201312 yr comment_154766 Well, according to Theme Park Collective's FB page, it opens at 12 today!
March 29, 201312 yr comment_154777 It's opened today..yay Great, I better get down to thorpe soon I have a feeling X is gonna be something...brilliant.
March 29, 201312 yr comment_154778 Glad it has opened just in time for the busy period. Will have to pop down Tuesday and give it a go before I read/hear too many spoilers
March 29, 201312 yr comment_154779 Open an hour and still no review? Come on people, I'm waiting! From TPM facebook
March 29, 201312 yr comment_154781 'Apparently' X has hit an 80 minute queue due to it opening this afternoon. This means that all the other rides and rollercoasters currently have queue times under 30 minutes(Colossus was at 120mins earlier in the day). Please correct me if I am wrong- I got the info off ride hopper.
March 29, 201312 yr comment_154783 Surely that's something not too surprising if Thorpe is reasonably busy... Especially with a lower height restriction now, X is going to be pretty busy throughout the year...
March 29, 201312 yr comment_154786 so basically the only chance I will get on this will be after Easter then
March 29, 201312 yr comment_154787 Which will be a better day to go to Thorpe Park - Sunday or Monday?
March 29, 201312 yr comment_154803 So apparently the light show is nice, but not much has actually changed... Why are people getting so hyped up for this change? Just out of interest when all that was promised were forward facing trains and lights?
March 29, 201312 yr comment_154804 I'm going to Thorpe tomorrow, so MY review will start rolling in...eventually
March 29, 201312 yr comment_154807 Just rode this today. It's far better than expected. There is a large central column of lights that are synced to the music, as well as various lasers and other lighting effects. The second hill seems better towards and the ride is far better than it used to be. Also on the exit the "Thorpe Park Power Supply" has been plastered over. Overall I'd give it an 8/10 over my original 6/10.
March 29, 201312 yr comment_154810 Reckon a Tuesday or Wednesday would be best to go to avoid Easter weekend?

March 29, 201312 yr comment_154814 The music isn't recognisable by shazam, but it's an up beat trance mix.
March 29, 201312 yr comment_154819 Nooooo the thorpe power supplyyyy!! Expect more powercuts in the future then, muppets.
March 29, 201312 yr comment_154820 wicked how long did you queue I queued just under one hour. And yes the music sounds like generic club music.
