Aliice. Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TraX Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Hope we've all informed GS how good he is at his job? He'd be very happy to read these boards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Hope we've all informed GS how good he is at his job?

th13teen Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 I never realised that vortex only runs 350 people per hour! No wonder the queue is usually an age! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.man Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 The queue has normally been sooo short when I have been? :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis. Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laelda_95 Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trippy Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 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 :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laelda_95 Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Soo, Lets talk about zodiac & Slammer I love Slammer, just the best flat ride at TP right? Wait a second.... vortex.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laelda_95 Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 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.

Laelda_95 Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.man Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Sounds pretty dangerous!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 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...

Zappomatic Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 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.
