Garyy Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Just noticed Zodiac had no topic. I think it's pretty good although it's not one of my favourites. I'll go on it if the que isn't bad. I'd give it a three out of five. Anyone like it, anyone hate it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clara Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 I completely hate the thing unentertaining, boring, waste of space.Tear the thing put something so much better a worth riding there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 What is there to like about? Its the most boring ride in the world. I hate the thing. I also cant see it staying at Thorpe much longer. I dont blame Drayton Manor giving it to Thorpe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 anyone hate it? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yep me. I just feel really unsafe on it and get the feeling that the pods gonna come off I dont blame Drayton Manor giving it to Thorpe. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They didn't give it to them it was on that usedrides.com website or something and Thorpe snapped it up.

Guest Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 I didn't even go on ZODIAC (not vortex jazz), and I didn't want to go on it, as it looks realtively old....Seb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Erm I think stealth rush and slammer are the only rides newer than zodiac :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 If you are talking about the new one. It came same day as Stealth (opening day)Well the new zodiac isn`t exactly new. Its just new to Thorpe. (A replacement) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 I think it was built in around 2002 wasnt it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 The original Zodiac was first at Thorpe in 2000 as 'Enterprise' as a quick replacement from the fire. It was rethemed and named Zodiac for the 2001 season. Was replaced with Cyclone from Drayton Manor and is still known as Zodiac. So there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not been on zodiac because I dont trust it. I think something should replace it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well thats what Thorpe thought last year.. so they did replace it, shame it was with another Huss Enterprise though Dunno what they'd put there cos the ride area isn't actually that big.

MikeC Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 It didn't look right to me. Never has really. Go on it, if it was dodgy, it would't be at TP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 The old one was the dodgy one, and now its gone, never coming back =]Zodiacs just a 'meh' ride really.. Horrible paint job, annoying music, nothing to do with the zodiac symbol stuff (at least the old one did). And if anything its just an accident waiting to happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Didn't two boys end up hanging from a gondola? Or am I wrong here...It is a meh ride, but I do like the music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Nope your right there.. something happened and the support holding up the gondola snapped leaving the gondola that they were in dangling although it was e-stopped and started bashing against the ride platform I think? can't remember the details that well.

James Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Oh the BBC always use crap pics when they have an article on Thorpe! That pic is Swat from Six Flags Astroworld Also in the Guiness Book of Records a few years back there is a picture of Colossus, but its not actually Colossus.. its Corkscrew at Cedar Point and they expect no-one to notice !
