Yay, thorpe park tuesday!

[Chaz]

Can't wait..

Shouldnt be too busy as its a day where most people are back at school, so i'll be able too hug/ride stealth a bit more :rolleyes:

But its only open from 10-5 ;(

[Alton]

Shame, I went to TP 5 times throughout the summer when it was open until 10pm.

You should get a few rides on Stealth, especially if you go in the SRQ.

Have a good time, and enjoy paying £28.50 to get in, haha!

[:]:]:]:]]

Im gunna go Wednesday :D

[Chaz]

£18 actully ;)

[Alton]

£18 actully ;)

Ahh yeh, September Sickie.

£18 is still free, when you have geeks like me that have a brain and work out it's £1200 cheaper with an Annual Pass ;)

[Chaz]

Lucky son ofa....

Plus i have a dentist appointment..talk about RUIN the whole day!

[Alton]

Lucky son ofa....

Plus i have a dentist appointment..talk about RUIN the whole day!

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!

If I wasn't at school, i'd be really tempted to go down because it'll be 30 minute queues rather than the summer 2 hour queues.

[Chaz]

Yeah, not evan 30 mins on some of them...

[Alton]

Yeah, not evan 30 mins on some of them...

30 seconds if you go single rider..

Even throughout the summer, I was getting on Nemesis in 10 seconds in the single rider queue (Thats because not many people know about it ;))

Stealth was about 30 minutes in single rider, but we had a disabled person with us so it was 10 seconds through the exit :P.

Stealths normal queue should be be 60 minutes max.

[Chaz]

Yeah, but fastracks ;)

[Alton]

Yeah, but fastracks ;)

Might be wasting your money, go in the park first and see what queues are like :P

£7 for fastrack, bit of a rip off tbh - Nemesis Inferno (SRQ), X:\ WT.F's going on (Nickname for it), Colossus (Hmm, ok coaster, but heh, I don't particually like it) and Tidal Wave/Loggers Leap - GIVE ME LOGGERS LEAP ANYDAY.

[JackBuddy]

On friday Stealth had a major shutdown. Don't know if it's re-opened though.
You said it shouldn't be too busy, so why buy fast track?

[Ree...]

k m8 im goin wiv ya wen r we leavin???????????

[Mimisc]

Stealth practically breaks down every few days. A few weeks back it had been down for ages.

Thorpe park is great, but when you live like 10 minutes away it takes the novelty off. Unless you have an annual pass, just go there when you please.

Did anyone get an annual pass with Tesco, like a year or so back before they stopped it. It came to like £20. Haha.

[Alton]

It's started again, I don't shop at tesco so it's another £70 for me in July :(

Intamin Launch Coasters always breakdown, it's part of them.. Get used to it lol!

[DMB-Hosting]

Have fun, ive never been to thorpe park

[DCeption]

;o i went saturday i think, tidal wave broke down though :(

[Chaz]

;o i went saturday i think, tidal wave broke down though :(

Tidal wave is rarely up and running anyway :rolleyes:

The weather better be good too ;(

[Alton]

Thorpe park hasnt said its down.

Thorpe Park said it was unavaliable when I went, and it was avaliable.

Only way you will find out for deffinate is ringing guest services before you go :P

Stealth keeps breaking down, but so does Rita at Alton Towers.. Intamin launch coasters eh, they are programed to breakdown!

Jack, the AP website is deffinataly broke, apparently I have 944 visits remaining.

[ross]

[Alton]

Not really, I prefer Tussuads parks.. In order: Alton Towers, Thorpe Park, CWoA, Heide Park.

[JackBuddy]

Erm, Chessington is half an hour away from Thorpe Park!
And Thorpe, semantic have been abit slow with the site lately.

[brownfromtown]

im going to drayton manor today ( tuesday ) i chose today becuase it shudnt be busy with a lot of people going back to school. ( just like you )

[-Soph-]

I'm going to thorpe park soon when i'm in london, it'll be the first time I go there and it should be cool.

[Student0374]

Yeah, Thorpe is about 30 minutes.. About 20 miles, just down the M25. :P

Chessingtons crap, and Thorpe are rather good at updating their website - Chatting to staff, they left the Stealth unavaliable message on because they wasn't sure if it would be broken again (Shows how confident they are in Intamin rockets.. lol)

[-Soph-]

Take it its not got a good reputation then :P

Haha I remember going to chessington, I must agree with you there.

[JackBuddy]

I'm going to thorpe park soon when i'm in london, it'll be the first time I go there and it should be cool.
If it's your first time, then it's worth buying fast track. And soph, it's just a few tweaking problems. ;)

[-Soph-]

Yeah I think i'll go down that path, I'll be going on a weekday so hopefully it won't be that busy..

[Student0374]

Soph you swore too me at Alton Towers that you'd NEVER buy fastrack!

Tsk tsk, now your talking about getting it at TP.

Let me know when your going, I might come -Rollseyes-

[Neversoft]

Tidal wave is rarely up and running anyway :rolleyes:

The weather better be good too ;(

Tidal Wave has always been up and running whenever I go. They seemed to slow it down a little at the end of the day though.

[-Soph-]

Soph you swore too me at Alton Towers that you'd NEVER buy fastrack!

Tsk tsk, now your talking about getting it at TP.

Let me know when your going, I might come -Rollseyes-


Yeah you better come because i'll have to go by myself :P

Did I really swear i'd never buy fastrack? Lmaoo

[Student0374]

Yeah you better come because i'll have to go by myself :P

Did I really swear i'd never buy fastrack? Lmaoo

Aye you did.

Welcome onboard slammer airways, today your going to be crusing at an altitude of about 100ft, doing rotations of 360 degrees, approximatly 8 times at about 70kmph. Your inflight entertainment will be passenger 14, yes you with the goofy glasses on, take them off.. And your meal will be steak and kidney pie, I hope you enjoy your flight with slammer airways *Evil laugh* *Dispatch*

[-Soph-]

I don't think I did adamerz0rs.
And I don't like steak and kidney pie, Can I have something else?

[Chaz]

Primium hotdog meals ARE bigger then normal hotdog meals, remember that...

[-Soph-]

That is very useful information.
Except I don't like hotdogs.

[Student0374]

Primium hotdog meals ARE bigger then normal hotdog meals, remember that...
Remember, they also taste DISCUSTING.

[-Soph-]

Hotdogs usually do

[JackBuddy]

I'm still clueless on how many times it rotates:rolleyes:!

[Student0374]

LOL - This is getting quiet funny actually, if I was still going to fright nights instead of Portaventura then i'd record it..

[JackBuddy]

Well, I know for a fact because SWAT used to only do 2 each way, and Slammer does 3!

[JackBuddy]

[-Soph-]

Damn, I want to go on stealth, Looks like one hell of a ride..

[Nadgers]

[-Soph-]

[JackBuddy]

[-Soph-]

[-Soph-]

Haha..

[J0SH]

I love stealth and Tidalwave, I like get wet in tidal wave, and I like the view and the speed, when you go up slow and come down fast.

[-Soph-]

I'd love to get my friends on tidal wave, All of them are obsessed by their hair:rolleyes:

I don't really care much what my hair looks like when i'm at themeparks..
Because if you look around, everyones hair looks like crap xD

[J0SH]

Lol, when I went there was LOADS of bumble bees, bloody hell, lol.

[Chaz]

Tidalwave is so HUGE x)

[-Soph-]

Lol, when I went there was LOADS of bumble bees, bloody hell, lol.

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/SwedishFrisbee/09TidalWaveinfullspray.jpg

And then I got soaked..

I bet the people on the boat saw you there and laughed :p

[Nadgers]

Haha yeah I took it. I didnt get wet at all though, cos camera would have died, but you know how theres glass across the bridge and theres little gaps? I just took it there and quickly moved. But the next time, I just stayed there and got COMPLETELY soaked. It was well fun. :D

[Chaz]

Thats not evan the half of it, the rest comes from behind!

[-Soph-]

Haha yeah I took it. I didnt get wet at all though, cos camera would have died, but you know how theres glass across the bridge and theres little gaps? I just took it there and quickly moved. But the next time, I just stayed there and got COMPLETELY soaked. It was well fun. :D

I bet they did laugh at you then :p

I would omghz. But then again, I laugh at everything.

[JackBuddy]

2Hrs. And, ofcorse i know?
No, not really. It depends when you're going.
And that's coming from someone who didn't know when Nemesis Inferno was built! ;)

[-Soph-]

No, not really. It depends when you're going.
And that's coming from someone who didn't know when Nemesis Inferno was built! ;)

And is scared of slammer.:p

Moving on, Does stealth have a SR queue?

[Student0374]

Yes Stealth has an SRQ.. And takes about the same amount of time as Rita..

Here is my vid of Tidal Wave, I did the clever thing and stood well away from the soak zones :)

http://youtube.com/watch?v=xLId0tD47PQ

[Chaz]

No, not really. It depends when you're going.
And that's coming from someone who didn't know when Nemesis Inferno was built! ;)

Yah, haha..

Plus, it can go upto 2 hours. Shows what you know.

Geeeees, calm down, I said: "It depends when you go".

[Student0374]

LOL! - It depends on the time of year, and if you go at a weekend etc to if it's busy! - Thus giving a long queue.

I've been in the summer holidays and Stealths queue has been 60 minutes, yet when I went back the next day Stealths queue was 200 minutes.

[-Soph-]

God, I wouldn't even queue 60mins :p

Not that i'm saying its a bad ride, But I won't queue 30mins+ for a ride:rolleyes: (Well I would if it didnt have a SR queue..)

[Nadgers]

Wuhey, I went on:

Stealth (AMAZING!) x2
Nemesis x2
Colossus
Vortex
Tidal Wave
Rapids

Queued for goddamn ages and then realised I had a fasttrack card. Pleb. But the whole day was free, even the food. xD Love!

[Bexex]

it looks like fun, i wish i could go :(
