Dan_Rush Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Just noticed that 1 of the best rides in the park did not have a thread.Discuss Quantum here. Do you like it?, hate it?.Personally it's a must do everytime I visit Thorpe park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 It's a very good ride when it wants to be. It's certainly something I try to get on every visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 I hate it. It crushes my leg and my groin and isnt even a decent ride to justify being crushed on.And it barely makes it over the top anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh R Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Well, it's one of those rides I wont go out of my way to ride, but will certainly have a crack at it if the oppertunity arises. It does frequently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I do enjoy Quantum when I go on it, but I wouldn't queue over 20 minutes for it. Also, when I rode it on Friday, I noticed that there was a strange cracking noise that isn't usually there, and on the full swings, the ride threw me around a bit and hurt my back. But when it isn't like that, it is a great ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I think people who havn't ridden it have very low expectations of it. I would reccomend a ride, and you might be pleasantly suprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Yep, but its a LOT more intense and rough than it looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Yep, but its a LOT more intense and rough than it looks.I have found that the first time you ride it makes your stomach drop, because it is more rough than you think it is going to be. But on the second time round, it's a pleasant and more enjoyable ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theme Park bloke Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Quantum is a beast! I love it. Personally it's a must do everytime I visit Thorpe parkIt never used to be for me, but it is now.And it barely makes it over the top anymore.If it does, it's only a couple of times at the most.I do enjoy Quantum when I go on it, but I wouldn't queue over 20 minutes for it.Me too. And talking of queueing, has anyone spotted the metal height measuring stick that's been stuck up in a tree since last summer? It's in a tree to the left as you stand and look at the steps leading upto the ride. I'll photograph it when I'm next there and post it in this topic.

I love Quantum always try and get on it about 3 times every visit I love sitting right at the back it's a great ride. Alot better than it looks.

Paul Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I strongly reccomend anyone who hasn't ridden it or has chosen not to ride it because it looks boring, just to give it a try. It is a great ride, is much better than it looks, can be quite a thriller and is so underrated. A great addition to a day at TP!The same goes for every ride at TP, don't knock it until you've tried it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokesyboy Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Thanks for everyone who reccomended this ride to me!!It is actually a really good ride and it gets your stomach going quiet well aswell <_<The ride op woman was going "Scream and you'll go faster" It was a great atomsphere over there yesterday thoroughly enjoyed this ride 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same goes for Flying Fish... though what can I expect after I just got off stealth xD Flying fish is dangerous too, you can actually smack your arms on parts of the ride as you go round.. not good.

Is that correct? I didn't think Quantum's queue held for a 60 minute queue.If you did, no offence but are you mad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokesyboy Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 You queued an hour for it? We queued for 5 mins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkmad Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 The most I have ever queued for Quantum has been 20 minutes and that was on a fright night. Usually, I queue a maxamum of 10 - 15 mins! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
