Stokesyboy Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 I queued for 5 mins at the end of the day when everyone started leaving around 6 o clock ish so its all good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subculturehero Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 I queued an hour for it once... only 'cos it broke down when we were standing in the gates! It's okay, but it shakes around and creaks too much for me to not fear for my safety throughout the ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stokesyboy Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Do the staff always say scream if you want to go faster or can they not make it go any faster anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if they can make her faster depends on the setting I think not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokesyboy Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Aha I think it might have been because she was either in a good mood or there was quiet a lot of little kids on the ride at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TraX Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 You can't change the settings on Quantum. What the operator is doing is guest interaction.Quantum is on a 'friendly' setting and is better in the afternoon once it's warmed up. Dependent of weight, but tbh, the ride does pretty much what it wants to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think Quantum's queue held for a 60 minute queue.If you did, no offence but are you mad! Yes, 1 HOUR lol I was not impressed :/ you should of seen my face on it, it's the same face when I'm forced to watch eastenders or something else thats terribly boring hehe (not poking Eastenders fans btw).This was last tuesday (7th April).. so the Easter break is to blame. Will I ever go on it again? Maybe... if I'm dis-illusioned or bribed to go on it again Being fair, it is a nice little ride. And I would of appreciated it much more if I was younger, which I guess is it's purpose for now (: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordcutter6 Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 They sometimes say on Black Bucaneer that if you scream louder the higher it goes, but just for the thrill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holtjammy16 Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 I Find that on quantum if you hold on really tight to the bars on the back of the seats infront of you then your stomach dosn't drop as bad, but if you hold your hands up in the air and loosen your legs then it really gets you going, does anyone agree?

thorpeparkjunkie Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Quantum really surprised me when I went on it for the first time, I thought it would be poor but it turned out to be a very fun ride and I dont think I have ever laughed so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam P Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 When I went to the park for a Travel and Tourism trip Storm in a tea cup and Quantum are teacher just got the giggles we dont know why but oh well. When I first ever saw Quantum I thought I wont waste my time going on that but we got in the queue to try it out and it was a lot better than me and my brother expected.

Garry Williams Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 my god this ride really packs a punchit doesnt seem quite as good nowdays as it used to be but its still fantastic and provides good airtime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theme Park bloke Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Had an OK ride on Quantum yesterday, it started off as normal, before doing 2 "over the top" swings, and then it took us back up to the top and stopped right there, at the very top, for about half a minute, before it swung back down, and the ride was over. Odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 It's only on a one fixed setting these days. I prefer the old dats when it had 2 settings then you were taken for a surprise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkmad Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 I usually end up walking straight past Quantum to be honest.However, last time I went to THORPE PARK. I went on it and I actually quite enjoyed it! :)Also, the queue was advertised as 15 mins and it was vertually a walk on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
