Posted March 6, 200817 yr comment_23124 So yeah, hopefully there isn't another Adventure Island topic lurking around somewhere, otherwise, I'm pretty dumb.Discuss Adventure Island here...
March 6, 200817 yr Author comment_23152 Rage. The only reason I go there. Rage is actually a pretty good ride, considering that it's at a fun fair type amusement park...in Southend.It actually is a fairly decent ride.
March 6, 200817 yr comment_23164 I really like Southend although it is best not to make it the be all and end all of your trip. Alex, me and a few of our friends normally make a trip down there every December and tend to spend some time on the rides, a few hours in the town and a walk along the Pier.I do like Adventure Island though, Dragons Claw is very very good, as the Scorpion and the big Turtle ride. Yet to ride Rage though.
May 20, 200817 yr comment_26992 I love adventure island my favorite rides are Rage, green scream archelon(the big turtle) Vortex, Scopion. I normaly go there once a year with my school it is the best coastle theme park. I have ever been to. I shall continue going when I have left school.
May 21, 200817 yr comment_27012 I try to make at least one visit a year to AI. Great place and Rage is pretty decent. They have great filler attractions as well which make it a fun place to go. For a seaside amusement park it's really good.
June 4, 200817 yr comment_27910 Scopion is leaving the park either tonight or in the next couple of days to get fixed. They had a problem with it and they are sending it back to the makers so no scopion for a while .
June 21, 200817 yr comment_28830 I just realised,On the Adventure Island website, on the vortex page, it says. Are you ready for the cyclonic forces of the raging Vortex?Which is what it says on Vortex at Thorpe Park, right?
July 14, 200817 yr comment_29562 Here is my trip from hell trying to get to Adventure island today.Today was a day from hell. I was ment to be going to Adventure island with my school but only got half way. We waited for the coach for 2 hours to arrive when it eventually arrived we got half way there and the coach broke down. We waited for half hour for a replacement coach to take us back to school, so we never got to go to Adventure island today . But we are going there next Tuesday . So today has been a day from hell.
July 15, 200817 yr comment_29680 For once it was not the schools fault it was the first coach company that could not be asked to pick us up.
July 15, 200817 yr comment_29681 that could not be asked to pick us up.ARSED! They couldn't be arsed to pick you up! Argh, sorry, that is just a mistake that has ground my gears for years.

November 11, 200816 yr comment_38858 Did anyone go to Fright Fantastic this year if you did was it good because I didnt go to busy going to Thorpe lol and has anyone been on the new ride Over The Hill?No sorry. Do you know much about this new ride?
November 11, 200816 yr comment_38917 Nope all I know it is better then the other dark ride they had there and it is ment for older people not for little kids like the other one was ment for.
November 11, 200816 yr comment_38921 It was indeedy, it opened in October half term.The ride before it, Beelzebobs something or other, I rode, and it was mega lame
February 22, 200916 yr comment_45466 The new ride Adventure Island have coming this year New American Whip another homemade ride.
February 22, 200916 yr comment_45472 Well its not totally new because its a refurbishment of the American Whip which has been there for some time
February 23, 200916 yr comment_45629 It's not really a refurb because it's an entirely new version being built, but it is a like for like replacement.
April 12, 200916 yr comment_52193 I presume the rebuild will be done during the quiet period after the Easter holidays are over. The current chain and cars are being used on the new build, so it can't be tested until the old one has come down, and the park obviously won't want it to close during the holidays.
