Phyciodes Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Whenevr I've been lately lots of the rides definetely clear out at the end of the day! Its silly to say rides are packed all day, because... there not. Rides such as Stealth and Nemesis for example are always a lot quieter towards the start of the day whilst Saw and Colossus are busy, this seems to even out around mid-day and the last few visits I've had including bank holiday monday there have been points in the day where Colossus is near enough walk on. Rush always seems to be a lot quieter towards the end of the day and I've even managed to go round and ride it about 3 times in the space of 5 minutes on relatively busy days. Its all about planning your day which definetely effects it. Rides like Saw will proberly stay busyish unless of a shut down all day because well its new.

James6 Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Yea , the rides que's are definatley affected by the time of day etc. But even so the past few times I've been , sometimes not even on a paticularly busy day, all the rides are packed all day , yea some rides have shorter que's at times but nowhere near as low as you've stated. You must be the lucky one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyciodes Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Some of the queues may look long but not actually take long to queue, for example nemesis queue line moves quickly. Anyway at the end of the day you may as well queue something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Now you say that...I haven't really seen Rush having a massive queue this season at all out of the 8 times I have been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossafc Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Now you say that...I haven't really seen Rush having a massive queue this season at all out of the 8 times I have been.same here..and last year almost every time I went it was over an hour.I also remember a few years ago riding Colossus at the end of the day 4-8 times in a row at the end of the day... you cant do that anymore its too crowded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraX Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Ah so you mean I might actually like Nemesis Inferno next time I ride it ? Actually I doubt a few lights and mist are going to change my opinion of a mediocre rideWell, if your one of those people that has been knocked backwards by a cheap roller coaster, some UV blacklights, a couple of swinging-or most likely probably not blades, some air blasters and a bumpy ass ride that is Saw. Then no, Nemesis Inferno will be as rubbish as you remember.For a lot of other people, it will demonstrate how great a high quality, no gimmick coaster can be.

Korikon Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Yea!, I remember the good ol' days of riding Slammer in pitch black with loads of empty seats. Also is it me or does Thorpe not get quieter in the closing hour/ couple of hours anymore? It used to be where it was almost walk on for things in the last bit of the day.I would disagree with this, we went to FN last year and in the last hour went on Samurai, Colossus, Nemesis and Detonator. The park cleared out a lot around 8 compared to how full it was all day.That said though, I think I might buy a fastrack for this year. And I would LOVE to see Inferno with the new effects in the dark ^^ it should add a lot to the experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Well, if your one of those people that has been knocked backwards by a cheap roller coaster, some UV blacklights, a couple of swinging-or most likely probably not blades, some air blasters and a bumpy ass ride that is Saw. Then no, Nemesis Inferno will be as rubbish as you remember.For a lot of other people, it will demonstrate how great a high quality, no gimmick coaster can be. I totally agree. Inferno is easily my favourite of the Thorpe four and the return of the effects only enhances the ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korikon Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 For me, Inferno and Colossus are tied in third fave after Samurai and Stealth. I have always gotten a rush from riding it, and definitely consider it above mediocre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan9 Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 I was unsure how much Nemesis Inferno's effects would make, but in the end they really do make a difference. I had the best few rides I've ever had on it with being able to ride it with all the effects working for the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry.D.C Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Sounds good! I can't wait for the next time I go to the park to see all the effects at once. I have never seen them all working at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 same I havnt seen the inferno effects on all year By the time you go they'll probably all be off again . Only joking, Thorpe Park really seem to be on top of things at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack The Sack Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 The mist effects in the tunnel are amazing Seriously, theres so much mist I couldnt breath in the tunnel lolAlthough the mist in the queue is really annoying it kept spraying in the wind and its COLD! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did make a difference, and definitely created a more atmospheric queueing experience! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 oh yeahh.. this is a nemesis topic I think we should get back on topic Good Idea . To be honest, I think they should add some sort of dispatch announcement in the station, like on Colossus. (Or when it used to be on Colossus, "Please stand clear, the gates are about to close. You're ride on Colossus is about to begin etc".) I think something like this would go very well with Nemesis Inferno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 yeahhI think this and Colossus have the best theme's Totally agreed. Although I do love the Samurai theme . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdH Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 The Inferno theme is good at the very start with the volcano and I love how it drops out of the volcano.Samurai - the theme isn't that superb. It just looks a bit like one of those samurai weapons.I do agree that the theming of Colossus is good but I don't really understand what is it - Aztec kind of thing??

Phyciodes Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 There was a ridiculous amount of smoke in the tunnel today and the tunnel lights were all on and extremely effective! Even the smoke from the volcano was pouring out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
