Posted August 20, 200619 yr comment_958 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?
August 20, 200619 yr comment_959 I completely hate the thing unentertaining, boring, waste of space.Tear the thing put something so much better a worth riding there.
August 20, 200619 yr comment_963 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.

August 22, 200619 yr comment_1032 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.
August 24, 200619 yr comment_1072 [Yep me. I just feel really unsafe on it and get the feeling that the pods gonna come off ]Same here! And when I watch it I also think that so I can't look at it, Also in the que were the pods going upside down and facing you in the que I think there going to fly off and hit me lol.

September 6, 200618 yr comment_1456 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
September 12, 200618 yr comment_1579 Erm I think stealth rush and slammer are the only rides newer than zodiac :\
September 12, 200618 yr comment_1580 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)
September 13, 200618 yr comment_1587 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
November 19, 200618 yr comment_2100 Does anyone know if zodiac will get back its theming over the closed season?
January 2, 200718 yr comment_3027 I've not been on zodiac because I dont trust it. I think something should replace it.
January 2, 200718 yr comment_3030 Does anyone know if zodiac will get back its theming over the closed season? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> From the looks of things now - no. 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.
January 2, 200718 yr comment_3032 It didn't look right to me. Never has really. Go on it, if it was dodgy, it would't be at TP.
January 2, 200718 yr comment_3039 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
January 2, 200718 yr comment_3040 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.
January 2, 200718 yr comment_3041 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.
January 2, 200718 yr comment_3044 Was going to fish that one out. Sounds slightly dodgy though.Wrong topic but.... Is Slammer now an easy flat? Easy Flats [Take a look at the photo]
January 2, 200718 yr comment_3046 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 ! Random.. anyway Zodiac..
January 2, 200718 yr comment_3048 Old zodiac: Dodgy: No Reliable: No Safe: YesNew zodiac Dodgy: No Reliable Yes Safe: Yes
January 2, 200718 yr comment_3051 That pic is Swat from Six Flags Astroworld they expect no-one to notice ! Random.. anyway Zodiac.. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> LOL!!! If its from six flags Astroworld then they sure do have some intresting colour intrests! . Hey is Astroworld owned by Six Flags? As for the Colossus one, I certentely noticed. I even wrote a letter to them about it!
