May 16, 200916 yr comment_55872 Last time I went on it (Sunday 3rd May) it made a really horible and loud screeching noise at the start, is it still doing this?Also the opp said something really funny while it was going on, he said "sorry Mr Monkey is a little constapated at the moment" that made me laugh so much.
August 9, 200916 yr comment_65860 I went on this Ride too it was fun and just the right amount of scary lol I hate the one at Chessington that one is too big, like your going to fall out of your seat, but the one at Thorpe park is the correct height to be fun and enjoyable, it felt more secure.

June 23, 201015 yr comment_93814 Anyone up for a really old picture of Banana Boat and Thorpe ?Metallabu EnnienScroll right down to the bottom.The manufacturer of the ride is also obviously Metallbau Emmeln (MBE) which was interesting as I've always thought it to be Vekoma.Look at Thorpe's background or lack of.
June 23, 201015 yr comment_93817 Wow, great find James! :)Never knew that MBE were the manufacturers. That photo must've been from it's first couple of years, quite surreal looking at that pic actually..
June 23, 201015 yr comment_93852 It looks like it goes alot higher in that photo, but we all know that it just doesnt.......
August 11, 201015 yr comment_96318 I heard the ride op singing 'If your happy and you know it shout banana!' and everyone joined in Made my day !!!
September 6, 201015 yr comment_97999 Mr. Monkey's Banana Ride looks quite cute next to Nemesis Inferno and Detonator. It's nice to have some rides for kids.
September 6, 201015 yr comment_98080 Interesting find, Seems strange as the area is so empty. No trees, X\\:No Way Out or Colossus in the background.
April 1, 201114 yr comment_112267 MMBR is in all honesty probably the best ride in the parkPlease tell me you're kidding
April 1, 201114 yr comment_112291 Has is been noticed, the removal of Mr Monkey from top the ride this season?
April 1, 201114 yr comment_112293 Has is been noticed, the removal of Mr Monkey from top the ride this season?It has? Why hasn't there been outrage about it?Oh yeah... Storm Surge's 'theming' is obviously more important...
April 1, 201114 yr comment_112299 I went on it today. It was the only ride other than X:NWO to make my friend feel sick. It's actually quite intense
April 2, 201114 yr comment_112338 Has is been noticed, the removal of Mr Monkey from top the ride this season?It has, but no one cares about banana ride enough to comment
