May 17, 201015 yr comment_91713 I just wanted to know if anyone else has noticed the legend Michael.On my last two visits I have noticed him working on Vortex in his very unique way Was just wondering if anyone knew him, if he's part of TPM or even if anyone else notices his antics while loading the ride Omg I love him Last time I went to Thorpe, I saw him at Stealth taking the bags and as ride host on Vortex. Legend ;D
May 17, 201015 yr comment_91716 Oh good, I'm glad it's not just me who's come across how much of a legend this man is
May 18, 201015 yr comment_91722 Hope we've all informed GS how good he is at his job? He'd be very happy to read these boards!

October 18, 201014 yr comment_100640 I never realised that vortex only runs 350 people per hour! No wonder the queue is usually an age!
November 4, 201014 yr comment_102666 It had no queue at all on tuesday.Vortex is great when you get lots of swings, and I know it probably wasn't but it felt faster :DP.S The ride op's were totally flirting."Sorry guys I can't start the ride until I have the key"Get a room for your key-play
January 3, 201114 yr comment_106053 I just don't get a thrill from it, it makes me feel sick, but I'll go on it if everyone in my group is going to.
January 3, 201114 yr comment_106056 I just don't get a thrill from it, it makes me feel sick, but I'll go on it if everyone in my group is going to.same its the only ride I have been on that I wont go on again I used to be fine with it but lately I get really ill and it ruins my day if I go on it :/
January 3, 201114 yr comment_106057 Hmm, I have a sick phobia, and last time I went on it, the person opposite me was going green, and gagging. It just seems pointless, and I don't think spinning rides are that good, anyways, except for slammer.

January 4, 201114 yr comment_106095 Soo, Lets talk about zodiac & Slammer I love Slammer, just the best flat ride at TP right? Wait a second.... vortex....
January 4, 201114 yr comment_106116 Zodiac just hacks me off! What could be more awkward than being forced into a pod with someone elses knees impeding your personal space. I had to go on it once with a really creppy guy; Not pleasant.Slammer is immense.

I had to go on it once with a really creppy guy; Not pleasant.Slammer is immense.the thing I hate about zodiac is that its just so bad, I can sit in that ride reading a book and not notice I was going nearly upside down, just gives me a headache and its not good when some random splash of water splats you in the face cos I dread to think what that is :s
January 5, 201114 yr comment_106204 I quite like Vortex. One of the better flats at Thorpe for me.Oh sorry, I think I've got the wrong topic?
January 5, 201114 yr comment_106207 I agree..So Vortex... it's still at Thorpe then. Thats a turn up for the books.
July 22, 201114 yr comment_119918 Something happened on Vortex today, about 10 staff members ran to the ride, and wouldn't let us anywhere near it.. Does anyone know what this could have been about?
July 24, 201114 yr comment_120047 So dangerous that we've heard nothing all weekend?Could have been anything, and since we've had no news reports from anyone, then well, it's safe to say nothing of importance was lost...
July 26, 201114 yr comment_120171 On Sunday the restraints decided to shut themselves as people were getting off, trapping some people half in and half out of the seat and clonking quite a few on the head - looked painful! They had to use a battery pack to release them. Guess something must have tripped and the restraints fail-safed into the locked position.
