August 3, 200916 yr comment_65373 You can't really go round saying THORPE aren't going to be doing stuff like getting new rides, they might work out differently to Tussaud's and might prefer to keep there plans to a minimal from the public. But I doubt a new ride will pop up.
August 3, 200916 yr Author comment_65392 Nemesis Inferno's queue line is probably the fastest for me which makes me enjoy the ride more!Even with a long queue, I always feel like I am moving and getting somewhere. (Unless a breakdown obviously! )
August 3, 200916 yr comment_65408 Yeah, I also find the Nemesis Inferno queue fast moving, its a ride I dont actually mind queueing for because of that.
August 6, 200916 yr comment_65642 And she's down! Something to do with brakes, I'm not too sure it will be reopening tomorow as it was shut from 2:30 today.
August 6, 200916 yr comment_65648 Poor Inferno!! Can't complain though. Lives up to a typical Beemer, being great with reliability...
August 7, 200916 yr Author comment_65656 I agree that it is a shame to see Nemesis Inferno unavailable.Hopefully it will be back in operation shortly blasting riders through the depths of the volcano!
August 7, 200916 yr comment_65661 To be honest, I have given up on the effects at THORPE PARK.You must be kidding? The year Thorpe finally gets them sorted, you give up? And she's down! Something to do with brakes, I'm not too sure it will be reopening tomorow as it was shut from 2:30 today.Brakes? They do get a lot of use, they're so powerful. Sometimes I jump out of my seat slightly into the restraint, as it brakes.

Sometimes I jump out of my seat slightly into the restraint, as it brakes.The reason why I said I gave up on the effects was that usually when they are working, they usually stop within a few days.
August 7, 200916 yr comment_65669 Shame about Nemesis Inferno, its such a reliable ride, I'm sure Thorpe's mechanics are working hard to get it up and running for us.
August 7, 200916 yr comment_65723 (inside source) It's not Inferno's fault its the operator's. Well my source says the operator emergency stopped the ride in an awkward position which then messed the metal block up.It's hardly the operators fault then. If they prevented some kind of accident or something out of the ordinary then that's more important then if the breaks were messed up.
August 7, 200916 yr comment_65735 Here are some pictures I took of Nemesis Inferno yesterday:It sat like that on tuesday too, just before I got on it at park opening. That position is normal though if the first train hasn't been a advanced into the station. Or though I find it strange that it was just left like that with guests on.

Or though I find it strange that it was just left like that with guests on.if you look carefully at the first pic then youll notice the first train hasnt gone into the station therefore the second train cannot procede any further.it maybe the first train broken,both,the station or maybe just the ride.and in response-I was there and where that train was stopped the back row had no floor beneath it meaning there was no way to evac.the had to get a temperary floor place before any evacs happend.
August 8, 200916 yr comment_65772 Maybe it's the floor that's playing up? Has that ever gone wrong?If the floor electric or hydraulically powered? And does the bar at the front lower with it, or is that a seperate source of power to lower that? They should put a sign on that bar with an intense message to read, just before you set off!
August 8, 200916 yr comment_65822 Well going by Raptor, of which the mechinism isn't covered (you can see it in the queue), its one motor and a load of metal semi-circle shaped things that rotate it and the bar at the front, all as one.
August 15, 200916 yr Author comment_66354 I think being stuck on Nemesis like that could be quite fun XDWould certainally be different to what we are used to on Nemesis Inferno! :PThen again, I would rather have the ride functioning 100% correctly so guests can enjoy a ride or rides on Nemesis Inferno!

But there was no queue so I wouldn't have felt any guilt. and besides you have already gone round the track so we all win =]
August 15, 200916 yr comment_66391 Nemesis Inferno is great, sad to see that it is having problems, is it functioning correctly yet?Anyway I'm about to go a little off topic now so if you don't like rct3 my post is over!A great recreation of Nemesis Inferno made by me can be found HEREI also have a Colossus and a stealth recreation on my channel!
August 15, 200916 yr Author comment_66392 Nemesis Inferno is great, sad to see that it is having problems, is it functioning correctly yet?I have not heard anything about Nemesis Inferno from people I know that visit alot.Also, THORPE PARK's website don't state it as unavailable so I am assuming that Nemesis Inferno is functioning correctly, yes.
August 20, 200916 yr Author comment_67121 My next THORPE PARK trip will be on the TPM meet up and I can't wait to ride Nemesis Inferno (aswell as Colossus ) as I did not get to ride it much on my last visit. :PTake it all the problems that were occuring on Nemesis Inferno have been fixed by now!

August 31, 200916 yr comment_68363 The mist yesterday was incredible!It was pouring out of the tunnel!
