Whiteknuckle Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 The Vampire's second lift and drop is, I think, the only chain hill and drop which are nearly the same angles of acsent and decsent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie W Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 From the Vampire nerd That station picture is brilliant! Hopefully merlin will try to restore some of that themeing it used to have...Mind you, its still got more theming than most Uk rides, so I'm happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkmad Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 No matter what anyone says about my Vampire; Vampire is the best! ;)To be honest, I would rather a ride on Vampire than any ride at THORPE PARK! This is due to theming and that audio music just does it for me. Please, Please, Please let me get area 1 next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 I agree 100%, there is just something about the Vampire that no other ride has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Wait Vampire used to be a suspended swinging? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkmad Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Vampire has always been a suspended swinging coaster.Was an Arrow coaster but Arrow I think went bust and brought by Vekoma.The ride is still the old Arrow but has pieces replaced by Vekoma.The current trains are Vekoma.Here is Vampire highlighted under the Vekoma manufacturer page!
