JoshC. Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Simple topic really, just for updates and that over the closed season. (By the way, mods, can this be put in the General Thorpe Park Section? )Not much I can say really, and unfortunately I don't have any pictures, but there's a chance of some in the nest few days from me. Vertical construction of Storm Surge is not visible from outside the park yet. The majority of the slide is still in the staff car park, however, the lift hill section has been moved (whether it's just been moved out of site, or somewhere slightly more productive I dunno. Rush's swigs haven't been taken off (which is different to previous seasons I believe?) and Slammer doesn't have any scaffolding on it (for a change ). Samurai's arm is still in its ordinary position, though I'd assume the pods have been taken off like usual. Not much else I can say really. Photos will probably come from one member or another sooner or later, so until then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 ive been waiting for ages for some new updates on storm surge :/Well you won't find them in the general closed season topic. You'll find it in the big orange box on the top right corner or the Storm Surge topic located in the future section.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshC. Posted January 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Seems to be a very quiet closed season really. Slammer hasn't had it's scaffolding for what seems to be the first time, the four major coasters are probably fine, and Storm Surge is hardly the greatest piece of construction ot occur. I haven't even seen Rush's arm taken off. Hopefully we're looking at more spruce up this closed season.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke_A Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Over the closed season I would like to see Thorpe Park clean Nemesis Inferno's misters out, they were literally just spraying you with water near the end of the season, but at the beginning of the season they were probably the best I have ever seen them. Oh, and also I wonder how long Storm Surge's effects will last (that's if Thorpe add any). I doubt any of Tidal Waves effects will be mended. Maybe make Stealth's launch smoke work again, it was at the beginning of last season, but not near the end... Add some lights and stuff in X:\. I can think of more but I'm not going to list them.

Smiffy Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Stealth has had over £90k spent over it closed season so rest assured that it will working fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Lolololol dont be so certain, saw was expensive and that made it just an hour into open day Anything can happen! All be it money has been splashed but that doesnt deter me from believing major problem can arise! StevenVig 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Stealth has had over £90k spent over it closed season so rest assured that it will working fineDoesn't mean anything though. I wonder how much a new drum costs, and those kind of rides go through those quite a bit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Didnt know where to put this:So I open the sun to find that they are doing the norml 2for1 vouchers for all merlin parks, but fter reading TP isn't included.. why?! The Alton,CWoA & LEGOland seperate vouchers says valid until April 30th so its not as though its only for Febuary half term.. I was bit confused!

But then I realised that last year they did thorpe park only vouchers. there are more vouchers to come tomorrow, so perhaps they'll be the thorpe park ones?

JoshC. Posted January 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Zodiac has been deconstructed (ie had pods taken off). Not much else in the way of winter maintainance to be seen. Samurai still has its pods, Rush still has its arms, no scaffolding to be seen...Quiet closed season really... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
