Do you have any evidence for that? On RCDB it says 1.9, on Wikipedia it says 1.8, so I'm not really sure what to believe, although it doesn't make that much of a difference to me. Are you sure it'd be legal for Thorpe to say they increased its acceleration and then just not?

Flick a few pages back......

I was under the impression they used to measure it from when it left the launch track, but now it is when the catch car begins to slow down. Well thats what I thought anyway =]

5 times today, with about a 20mins queue at max :).

I managed two. One at the front :D. After about 11am it was being run with 2 trains, which completely demolished the queue :D.

To be honest, before my visit today, I was starting to go off of Thorpe Park. I had been let down so many times in the past with ride reliability, and so many other things, that I was getting a bit tired of going there. But I'm glad to say that today's visit completely turned that around. I was so impressed with the overall service provided, and I had such a fantastic day out. It just shows you, that even if the park is busy, when Thorpe Park get it right, you can have such a fantastic day.

When they do get it right it's excellent, but it's the fact that (just like queue times) you can just never tell what any one day is gonna be like, and I think it's the consistency that Thorpe need to work on. There are so many things at Thorpe that are just so unpredictable (Slammer being open and the swinging blades on Saw working being two examples that immediately spring to mind), and if they could manage to get everything working all the time then it'd make Thorpe Park an infinitely better day out all the time.

The queue for the front is usually incredibly long, but it's completely worth the wait when you ride.

yeah I never queue for it unless there is a small queue...same or inferno and Colossus

It's irritating watching the people who were standing next to you in the original queue riding the ride almost instantly while you are still waiting in the Front Row queue. :)

yeahhI got lucky once in the single rider queue.. I was queueing for about 5 mins and got put on front row:)

I reckon it's so much better at the back - I had my first back row ride a couple of weeks ago and it was proper good, even though I thought we were gonna roll back and then didn't ):

never got a rollback :Dbut I really want one :)

I think you've just tempted fate, I can see in 5/6 years. "Brand new ride, The Yorkinator" " the worlds first chocolate bar to launch you at 80 mph" ;)

That would be awesome!
