June 14, 200916 yr comment_59953 *Shuttle X 5:POk, have you heard how quiet that thing is? Give me some credit for getting some of it! :DI focus more on Chessington & Zoo than THORPE PARK!
June 14, 200916 yr comment_59962 I must say X:NWO is really boring. The last time I went I sat there singing 'if your happy and you know it', I had a few people joining in :-P.The things we do to make a ride more enjoyable .I have also noticed they have added more lights Which has completely ruined it.Oh well, can you guys think of any other songs you could sing on it?:-P
June 14, 200916 yr comment_59964 Damn!And I'll be going to thorpe park maybe this month or next month, hopefully it won't be closed when I go, cause I really enjoy that ride myself
June 14, 200916 yr comment_59966 Yes I agree with that! I enjoy it too. It seems to be like Marmite, love it or hate it.
June 14, 200916 yr comment_59970 I really dont know if I hate it or love it, I mean, the lights dont help, its supose to be a ride in the 'dark'. but the music and noises you hear as you go around are good, so I dont know really. Also when I do sing its only when I'm just treally bored on it. I think it could also be because of how I'm deelin on the day. Personlly I'm in the middle with X:NWO.
June 14, 200916 yr comment_60005 X:/ No Way Out is a must ride for me every time I visit THORPE PARK.But If it meant a ride on X or Colossus, Rush or Nemesis Inferno; I would know what I would choose! :PHowever, X:/ No Way Out is a good ride with good theming and audio.
June 15, 200916 yr comment_60077 I have also noticed they have added more lights Which has completely ruined it.I noticedthat.Last Trip When I went on X I did it first and there were these really bright yellow lights at the bottom & top of the lift hill and right in the middle of the pyramid.Then when I rode it again after lunch, only the flashing blue and green lights on the lifthill were on.X:\NO WAY OUT is the best!!
June 15, 200916 yr comment_60078 Yes I agree with that! I enjoy it too. It seems to be like Marmite, love it or hate it.Agreed. Ironically, I enjoy no way out far more then Colossus, Stealth and Saw which is a slightly odd view but it's one I take with pride
June 15, 200916 yr comment_60126 Yes I agree with that! I enjoy it too. It seems to be like Marmite, love it or hate it.Oh I'm wierd then, I don't hate it but I don't love it.
June 15, 200916 yr comment_60135 I agree with that to be honest. I don't hate it because it's not a BAD ride but I don't love it because it's not a good ride. I think it would be a better ride somewhere else. It's definatley at the wrong park in my opinion , Every other ride at Thorpe is tailored pretty much to the extreme market and this timid-ish junior coaster is trying to be thrilling aswell , which it's not , I wish they would take off all the make up and let it try and be what it is. A decent little family coaster.

A decent little family coaster.maybe chessington could do with the ride.thorpe keep the building-extend it and make a ride like space moutain.launched yet looped aswell.great fun
June 15, 200916 yr comment_60143 maybe chessington could do with the ride.thorpe keep the building-extend it and make a ride like space moutain.launched yet looped aswell.great funTo ride X, you need to be at least 1.4m. Therefore, it would not be a suitable ride at Chessington & Zoo.
June 15, 200916 yr comment_60147 Ah good point , why is the height restriction for X so high? Doesn't it have the same/similar trains to there juniour coasters? or is it because of the stops during the ride.
June 15, 200916 yr comment_60148 To ride X, you need to be at least 1.4m. Therefore, it would not be a suitable ride at Chessington & Zoo.But aren't Rameses Revenge and Rattle Sanke 1.4m?
June 15, 200916 yr comment_60153 But aren't Rameses Revenge and Rattle Sanke 1.4m?Yes, Rameses Revenge and Rattlesnake (and Rodeo when at the park) was 1.4m.However, really Chessington & Zoo would need to have rollercoasters that have a minimum height such as Dragon's Fury being 1.2m and Vampire being 1.1m.You could include a 1.4m ride and I would be in favour of a major coaster at Chessington & Zoo but I do not thinking Chessington & Zoo will end up putting major 1.4m coasters in. (And I think this will be included in X:/ No Way Out).
June 15, 200916 yr comment_60157 And I think this will be included in X:/ No Way Out).Just while we're on the topic, does anyone know why the height restriction on X:/ No Way Out is 1.4m? I've never understood that.
June 15, 200916 yr comment_60166 Just while we're on the topic, does anyone know why the height restriction on X:/ No Way Out is 1.4m? I've never understood that.I do not know to be honest.I recon as you can not see where you are going and going backwards (a blackwards coaster) this probably has influenced the 1.4m restriction.Whereas, If you are going foward, you can see where you are going and not stopping. These could influence I think to the 1.4m height restriction being lowered.I am not saying this scarcastically before anyone says comments to me!:It is a Vekoma Junior Coaster. If you are really despirate to know. Email Vekoma with this question and...Sate the type of ride: Vekoma Junior CoasterState the park: THORPE PARKState the ride: X:/ No Way OutAsk your question. Then at least you know 100% that it will be right as from the manufacturer of the ride itself!
June 15, 200916 yr comment_60170 As much as I would love to know, I can't really be bothered to be honest. I was just curious.
June 15, 200916 yr comment_60172 ^ It's a Vekoma Enigma Huh, on its control pannel it has one of those AIDPS (sp?) things on it and says its a Vekoma Junior Coaster.
June 15, 200916 yr comment_60174 ^ It's a Vekoma Enigma Well I am only going by what I saw in the control panel for X.It said on the A.D.I.P.S. sticker -> Vekoma Junior Coaster.Link to Vekoma Junior Coaster - http://www.vekoma.com/index.php?option=com...11&Itemid=9It does say on here the Minamum Height is 1.1m.
June 15, 200916 yr comment_60188 I think thorpe should get the onride photo back on x !!!Does anyone know why the Onride Photo was removed from X:/ No Way Out?Surely, if you have one on Flying Fish you can have one on X!
June 15, 200916 yr comment_60190 Does anyone know why the Onride Photo was removed from X:/ No Way Out?Surely, if you have one on Flying Fish you can have one on X! They probably had a stupid excuse like "it's too dark in there." Lol.
