James Posted April 21, 2009 Report Posted April 21, 2009 Looks so much better than bloody trampolines Quote
Mark9 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Posted April 21, 2009 Or, let's remincise:So sexy.. Seriously. That looks so daunting, even six years later, and everyone's six years older. That's gorgeous Quote
Sam P Posted April 21, 2009 Report Posted April 21, 2009 Looked a lot better then. Then it does now Quote
Phyciodes Posted April 21, 2009 Report Posted April 21, 2009 Brings me back to the days of walking through the Chessington grass car park and hearing the screams of Samurai throgh the trees. I do miss those days! Quote
TPAddict Posted April 21, 2009 Report Posted April 21, 2009 Why didn't they keep the jampenese theme? It loooks ****, out-of-place and the wrong colour at TP. Quote
Josh R Posted April 23, 2009 Report Posted April 23, 2009 Why didn't they keep the jampenese theme? It loooks ****, out-of-place and the wrong colour at TP.It's already out of place and the wrong colour at TP. I'm sure the Jampanese would appreciate us paying homage to their past. Quote
Mark9 Posted May 5, 2009 Report Posted May 5, 2009 Post here if you want to be on the "I rode the good Samurai cool-list"People so farMark9Alex GThat is all! Quote
themeparkmad Posted May 7, 2009 Report Posted May 7, 2009 Was the ride any different than the current Samurai at THORPE PARK?It only seems different in theming. Quote
Mark9 Posted May 7, 2009 Report Posted May 7, 2009 Was the ride any different than the current Samurai at THORPE PARK?It only seems different in theming.It was intense, it was fast, it was worth the 45 minute queue. That is a fundamental difference when you add basically the most thrilling flat ride conceived. Quote
Theme Park bloke Posted May 9, 2009 Report Posted May 9, 2009 The queues were as long as Thorpe's, I remember seeing them. But the wait was shorter at Chessington. Quote
subculturehero Posted May 27, 2009 Report Posted May 27, 2009 I never had the balls to go on Samurai when it was at Chessington (only being 8 or 9 didn't help), but I remember thinking how badass it looked (while on Roger the Dodger's dodgems). I have had a couple of pretty intense rides on it while it's been at Thorpe, but then I have nothing to compare against - although I will admit that I have had some rides on it that have been complete cack!Oh and also, I know massive bump for this quote, but: Indeed, samurai is run slower at thorpe, out of thorpes control but it is run slower.Why is it out of Thorpe's control?

TimR Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 Did Samurai have a manual operating system? Quote
Mark9 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 Did Samurai a manual operating system? proof read your posts please. Quote
Jake C Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 if your asking does samurai run on manual control, the answer is no. they just run it on a low setting. Quote
Kevin Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 if your asking does samurai run on manual control, the answer is no. they just run it on a low setting.Low setting?Did you ever ride it?! Quote
themeparkmad Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 if your asking does samurai run on manual control, the answer is no. they just run it on a low setting.I have seen videos of Samurai at Chessington.I think you should be saying an extreme setting than a low one! Quote
TimR Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 Yeah, I heard it was faster and more thrilling at Chessington, its a shame I never got to ride it, is there a reason why Thorpe didn't change its name? becuase its a little out of place in Lost City... Quote
Jake C Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 Low setting?Did you ever ride it?!at thorpe park they run it on a lower setting to chessington. I never went on it at chessington but have seen videos and heard it was on a higher setting. I have been on ones at fairs which were alot more intense. Quote
Kevin Posted September 24, 2009 Report Posted September 24, 2009 Bring samurai back chessie needs all the rides it can get, they should as well because it doesn't fit in with saw and shouldn't have to go through another refurbishment!Samurai was too much of an issue to Engineering at Chessington, hence why the offloaded it to Thorpe. It wouldn't fit into Mystic now as it would need a total repaint, and the whole are would have to be reconfigured, and they would have to get ride of Peeking Heights, which of course is an amazing, exhilarating and thrilling ride.As much as everyone would love it to happen, unfortunately it won't.
