humjosh Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 I went to Thorpe Park last night when it was open until 10pm, and was just wondering what everyone thought was the best ride to go on in the dark?Personally, I think that the best rides for the dark are:1st - Rush, because the view is amazing2rd - Stealth, because the view is also amazing3nd - Samurai, because when it is lit up in the dark, it is really fun.

S Bundy Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 1st would have to be Colossus as it confuses you on where you are.2nd is Slammer and dont know what it is about it in the dark but it just gives me a great experience.3rd Samurai as this also confuses me in where abouts am.

Harry Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Went thorpepark wednesday and went on stealth in the dark at the front it is AMAZING when you go over the tophat and see evering lit, It looks like it isnt real! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 No ride in Thorpe Park beats Stealth front row in the dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Nothing beats Nemesis Inferno in the Dark, it completly disorientates me, and Slammer is amazing in the Dark because you go so high and in the SKY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 I would say Colossus as it is totally disorientating for me, so you don't even know where you are going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickD Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Detonator , the view from the top really is spectacular in the dark... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zkk Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Stealth is ok in the Dark but is quite well lit, My favourite have to be (in no particualr order) Samauri, the way its lit and it seems to go much faster (is much faster if you go on one of the last rides). Fantastic rideNemesis (front seat) Coming out of the came into darkness is unbelieveable, and you lose track of where you actually are - great rideFinally Slammer simply as it is a favourite of mineBut its worth noteing that the log flume and the rapids look awesome when the water ways are lit up creates a weird spooky feeling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Got to be Detenator, the view! I know Stealth is there, but you only get a short time of looking, unless you get stuck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garyy Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Got to be Detenator, the view! I know Stealth is there, but you only get a short time of looking, unless you get stuck... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> NI is great fun in the dark. I also love doing Colossus and Slammer in the dark.

Guest tpman Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Colossus is great in the dark, with very little lights around you, you realy lose track of where you're going, nemesis inferno is OK but not as good as Colossus, and as long as you get a high swing, vortex is also brilliant in the dark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan9 Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 All the rides look great in the dark but if I had to say which ones stood out more then this is what I think:1-SAMURAI With all the lights lit up it looks freaky but amazing 2-Colossus You lose track of where you are when riding and when off ride all the green lights make it look Brilliant! 3-STEALTH Front Seat at night: THE BEST! The view from the top looks great with all the lights lit up4-QUANTUM Just like Colossus, the green lights make it look AMAZING! Also like Samurai it looks freaky. 5-VORTEX With all the lights and the swing and spin of the ride is jaw-dropping. :DIf you look at the Fright nites 2006 video on fotowhizz you'll see what I mean about Samurai,Colossus and Quantum.(www.fotowhizz.com) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cringle Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 (edited) Nothing beats Nemesis Inferno in the Dark <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I second that; Front Row Nemesis Inferno - the view you get up the lift hill is just magical, as with Stealth as you go over the tophat. The park really comes to life at night.EDIT: Rush is pretty awsome in the dark aswell Edited January 6, 2007 by Cringle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan9 Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 The park really comes to life at night. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Which is why everyone is over the moon about the opening times. Youre right there anyway. It just has a great atmosphere to it. God we should really have a topic about this seasons opening times as everyone is always talking about them in the wrong topics.ADMIN COMMENT: Dont bring it up then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Banana Boat at night? Whats good about that?!As I posted a few months ago, no ride beats Stealth front row at night!Although I think Loggers is pretty cool at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparklover91 Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 I have to agree with that, Stealth is the best ride in the dark, unfortunately I didn't get front row but then again anywhere in Stealth is great!! I also find Tidal Wave good in the dark although when I went it wasn't open in the dark, it was just testing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Personally, I think that the best rides for the dark are:1st - Detonator, very lovely view of the park in the dark.2rd - Stealth, very amazing view on the Top Hat.3nd - Loggest Leap, very creepy when you go past the trees.
