March 20, 20169 yr comment_230128 Well it clearly wasn't a last minute choice where engineers came in one day and decided to turn them around. Thorpe could have at least removed a fence, I know merlin were trying to put up as many fences as possible this year but taking down some cant have been too hard. Not removing it from the queue time board is an amazingly simple job and would have consisted of changing a single setting. How can a park not get something so simple right.
March 20, 20169 yr comment_230129 With the amount of enthusiasts wanting to ride the back row the back row queue probably is a good thing right now!
March 21, 20169 yr comment_230133 Always thought it odd for them to change the back 2 rows to go backwards - especially after the ride had only been running for one season. For me, going backwards is pointless as you don't experience the near misses - the only good thing I will say is the first drop I found was better going backwards.

They just want to wind you up Project LC.
March 21, 20169 yr comment_230181 To clarify, the signs in the station saying queue here for backwards facing rows have been removed, there is just a separate access point (if thinking about it like that makes you feel better) for riding the back two rows
April 7, 20169 yr comment_231707 So apparantly someone decided to run through the exit of the Swarm station and try to run across the track?! According to a staff member stood outside. It's currently unavailable dammit and it's raining aghh

April 7, 20169 yr comment_231712 Gone back to Swarm and it's only running for test purposes - did manage an amazing ride on Quantum 20 mins ago. Rock on!
April 8, 20169 yr comment_231810 The Swarm's area ambience music was off today - either that or they've edited the You Me At Six instrumental part out, as it definitely wasn't playing. The area didn't feel atmospheric without it, hopefully it's just a temporary problem rather than a permanent change. It was good to get back on the back row facing the right way round!
April 9, 20169 yr comment_231899 Just a temporary issue Jamie, it is being dealt with!! That was quick - working now! Any ideas if they are working on the sound effect as the train goes through the tower?
April 9, 20169 yr comment_231946 What about the water splashes? Apart from the one that goes into the fire engine obviously...
April 9, 20169 yr comment_231947 What about the water splashes? Apart from the one that goes into the fire engine obviously...The one before the station fly through is on but the one after inclined loop hasn't worked for ages
April 9, 20169 yr comment_231975 The one before the station fly through is on but the one after inclined loop hasn't worked for ages That pool was recently drained for a week or so and then refilled so I assume it's being worked on (hopefully)
April 11, 20169 yr comment_232108 Same, although the woman before us strangely came off the right rear totally soaked
April 11, 20169 yr comment_232117 Same, although the woman before us strangely came off the right rear totally soaked Could be the return of the Vampire station urinator?
April 11, 20169 yr comment_232135 Same, although the woman before us strangely came off the right rear totally soaked She could of gone on tidal wave before?
April 11, 20169 yr comment_232139 Could be the return of the Vampire station urinator? I was too polite to say anything but it did look as if she'd become a tad over-excited.
April 16, 20169 yr comment_232515 Now the backwards rows have gone (with their cameras!) they have been able to get the water splash near the fire engine fully working again - hopefully the helicopter one can follow!
April 24, 20169 yr comment_233177 Quick question: Why, on the billboard, where it said "Take a flight into hell", has the word hell been rubbed out and it now just says paradise? I really hope it's not due to some more Asylum style protestors...
April 24, 20169 yr Author comment_233178 Quick question: Why, on the billboard, where it said "Take a flight into hell", has the word hell been rubbed out and it now just says paradise? I really hope it's not due to some more Asylum style protestors... Last season, the billboard graphics were replaced. Previously they just used vinyl(?) which had already started to peel off and look a bit naff. So they used a better material to ensure it lasts longer, but never got "hell" put back over it, for unknown reasons.
