James6 Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 I personally love Quantum , It used to be a lot better, but it's still awesome. To be honest I'd welcome it with open arms to Chessington Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamY Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Quantum is sometimes fun for a 5 min break, or an end-of-night on FN.Personally I think a 3-swing Screamin' Swing would look amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidders Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 3 swings? I'm pretty sure the counterweights would fail if there were three swings, not to mention the 'top' of Rush would inevitably snap due to the strain of the middle swing. And besides, where would the pistons for the middle swing go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.man Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Quantum used to be sooo intense, my Dad ctually had to hold me in. They shouldnt get rid of it.3 Swing Screamin'-Swing, no way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricBlll Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 I love the way a lot of effort was put into Quantum's appearance even though, compared to the park's major rides, it is fairly small and less thrilling. I think it is the fact that it is so much more intense than it looks is why it is so popular. It is a good ride to stumble across while in the Lost City.It does have the weird problem of all those holes in the theming. They seem to have been cut out to get at mechanical parts but never replaced. It just looks dodgy having a wonky shape sliced into one of the pillars, revealing the support underneath. Also, does anybody know why the original themed ends were removed? I can only guess it was something to do with weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Indeed they wre removed for weight issues. As for the pillars, I noticed it too! Wasn't at all surprised to see them un-replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam P Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 I went today no sign of life on Quantum with a bit of the rides themeing next to the exit so not sure whats gone on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

th13teen Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 I cant believe how rough such a small ride can be! But still gives you a small stomach churn so its always good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis. Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 I've never had a rough ride on Quantum, but it has churned my stomach up on many occasions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickydoodle Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 I like Quantum, it doesn't have the same ferocity as the older magic carpets but great fun all the same! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukeeeeeee. Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Quantum is probably the only ride at Thorpe that actually makes me feel sick.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattgwise Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 For me Quantum is absolutely fine. I can handle practically any ride except for Zodiac (Enterprises). If I went on more than three times I would definately feel ill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke_A Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 ^Yes, I'm like that, I can handle pretty much any ride other than HUSS Enterprises. (don't quite know why though?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesB Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 I can do Zodiac once or twice, but after that I feel a little queasy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
