April 17, 201312 yr comment_157166 he told me that they were adding portraits, whatever that means? Maybe his pronunciation was not too good, as I think they are installing and testing the new trains, I.e. "more trains".
April 18, 201312 yr comment_157213 I went on X last week at some point and queued for 1 hour, and had that annoying moment where you get stopped after they let everyone else in (although the member of staff at the entrance called Sarah was lovely and made the time fly by). The changes were good, but I did feel like the lights needed to be positioned nearer to the track to give a better effect. Also the music needed to be turned up a bit! Overall I thought It was better than before, but I expected more because of the way it was being advertised on the website..
April 18, 201312 yr comment_157253 was much better the first time I went on x because it had more lights it was near enough pitch black at some parts
April 18, 201312 yr comment_157260 Maybe with the change around the old station signs will finally go!!! The last of the 'blackwards' legacy :S
April 20, 201312 yr comment_157326 20 min queue this afternoon, but didn't ride, did the fish as I wanted to catch as much sun as I could whilst it was out.
April 22, 201312 yr comment_157397 Does anyone know the name of the music that they are using in X this year? (Or is it Thorpe's own?) Parts of it can be heard in this video (not mine): http://youtu.be/qWzVBGG3p1s
April 22, 201312 yr comment_157411 I hope someone uploads the music used in x because I quite like them
April 23, 201312 yr comment_157486 I have probably asked this before... But why were the photos on X removed? I was just thinking that maybe there was a reason and they might bring them back as its now going forwards...
April 24, 201312 yr comment_157489 Because no one wanted them. They still don't want them, so no I can't see it returning as it wouldn't make money.
April 24, 201312 yr comment_157495 Like pluk said I can't really imagine myself wanting a ride picture from X, it wouldn't be great A) because it's dark so there would be no pre warning signs and despite flash this could affect the quality of the picture, it's still not a good ride even after refurbishment well at least not a key ride that really warrants a picture, imagine your at home showing whoever the picture, "and this ones from X, what's that? A roller coaster in the dark with some lights, oh right, would you really want memories of X? (Don't get me wrong I find the ride good enough as a time eater but it's not something I'd purposefully ride and think it great and C) do you really think a picture from X would be worth the money?
April 24, 201312 yr comment_157497 I wouldn't have been surprised if X has pictures this season really; it's now a family ride and something I bet younger kids enjoy riding. If Flying Fish has ORPs, then surely there could also be a market for X? I guess we look at the fact Depth Charge and Detonator have had their ORP points removed for this season, so I guess even if there would be a market for them, it probably just wouldn't be big enough to warrant it.
April 24, 201312 yr comment_157503 X photos were priceless. Mark9 riding with Richard Hammond there... Wearing that Palace shirt
May 3, 201312 yr comment_158180 So no one noticed X was closed for 2 days eh? You guys are slacking..
May 3, 201312 yr comment_158182 Website says shut until 3rd of May. Think it'll open at some point today.
May 3, 201312 yr comment_158185 I wonder how this will affect the ride in terms of operations and throughput, I have no idea how four train operation would work or if it would even be possible.
May 3, 201312 yr comment_158186 Lack of so presented as a question. Facebook murmurings from people on park.
May 3, 201312 yr comment_158188 I wonder how this will affect the ride in terms of operations and throughput, I have no idea how four train operation would work or if it would even be possible. I expect throughput will be much higher aslong as staff are on the ball
