Jamie_Hk Report post Posted March 6, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark9 Report post Posted March 6, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TP-Daniel Report post Posted May 21, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sam P Report post Posted June 4, 2008 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 . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Report post Posted June 21, 2008 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sam P Report post Posted July 14, 2008 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.

James Report post Posted February 22, 2009 Well its not totally new because its a refurbishment of the American Whip which has been there for some time 1 Graw reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hurri Report post Posted February 23, 2009 It's not really a refurb because it's an entirely new version being built, but it is a like for like replacement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley W Report post Posted February 24, 2009 Will the refurbishment increase the scale of the ride? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sam P Report post Posted April 11, 2009 Do you know when the new whip will be in operation Hurri? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hurri Report post Posted April 12, 2009 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.
