July 17, 200718 yr comment_12307 They have just spent a lot of money on it, why would they remove it?!?!
July 17, 200718 yr comment_12338 A few lights and paint dont cost much.. the most expensive bit would of been the moving of the control cabin and that money will be made back from saving money with one less member of staff.
July 17, 200718 yr comment_12344 The new paint, production of new queue line video, new control box, new emergency lighting, new internal effects, paint on floors, new security cameras, and the bag box would have cost a bit aswell.
July 17, 200718 yr comment_12346 The q line video would have cost next to nothing.. new things like emergency lighting are just standard upgrades all rides need over time to keep running and what internal effects? A few lights on the lifthill and a couple of dummy's from the old part of the X q line.
July 17, 200718 yr comment_12347 Having to pay all Perm ops, and TL's to come in to act on the camera, all camera equipment, getting it put on tape would cost a lot Marc.
July 17, 200718 yr comment_12351 The filming wouldn't cost that much - for instance I have to film a music video for Media this year on quite high quality cameras that cost around ?5000 - presumably Thorpe already own these. Also staff would have probably have been in anyway as most Team Leaders work at the parks through closed season anyway.
July 17, 200718 yr comment_12354 All produced by R&A, under ?4,000. Very good IMO. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Which was what I think as 'lot'.
July 20, 200718 yr comment_12439 yeah we do! but thorpe should be rolling in money at the moment because with stealth being built last year and no new attractions for the 2007 season (apart from the flying fish which was already at thorpe) they havent had to spend masses on a new ride?
July 21, 200718 yr comment_12493 Oh, but it's not Thorpe that rolls around in the money; it's the lovely, big, juicy corperate company that glares from above that takes all of the spiffy profit.
July 22, 200718 yr comment_12513 X No Way Out broke down Yesterday when I was on it they turned on the lights and had to leave by a fire exit. It diddent look anything like what I thought it would
July 31, 200718 yr comment_12841 unluckily, I've never seen what X actually looks like when the lights are on?which is a shame really, but I have seen pictures of the track layout and brake sets and things?
July 31, 200718 yr comment_12844 Sorry to nag, and this is nothing to do with X but, Richy, why do you always have to put questions marks on nearly every sentance, when half the time the sentance has nothing what so ever to do with a question!?
August 1, 200718 yr comment_12855 because I want to, and I feel that I can, and also some kind of relates to a question.I dont see why it matters anyway, its not hurting you is it?you see, that was a question, hence the question mark!
August 5, 200718 yr comment_12984 Has anyone noticed in the q line that it has lights, red and blue, which looks nice but then half way through there is a dark section so you have to feel you way through, then the red and blue lights are there for the rest of the q line!
September 19, 200718 yr comment_14880 Hi guys, just wondering if anyone has got a link to the x: vid in the queueline I have seen it but not heard it!
September 19, 200718 yr comment_14885 Fat chance of that happening. Seriously.However there is a preview on the official TP myspace.
December 1, 200717 yr comment_17678 I think people misunderstand X, it may not be the best experience wise but the thing is practically bomb proof. It runs all day every day and never breaks down. It never runs with less than 4 trains (5 just doesnt benefit anything) and it still draws a crowd so it must do something right.
December 5, 200717 yr comment_17998 I love X!! its so old and cool its like being back when I was a little kid
December 5, 200717 yr comment_18000 X is utterly fantastic. The only problem with them revamping it over last closed season was the "this way in" retro thorpe sign being taken away. I wanted that
