*EEK*
I STRONGLY disagree with some of those comments, I personally, think that staff at Thorpe Park are nicer than AT's. I'm not being biass because I goto Thorpe Park more but that's how I feel.
In the queues, they have TV's with most major ride.
And sometimes broken down rides, like Stealth, isn't their fault.
Don't you think that they want to get rides back up and running quickly? They wouldn't just leave their Icon coaster broken down all season.

X:\ No way out queue merging bloke: Tired, ratty and loud.. Heared him raise his voice at guests about petty things.
Thorpe Farm Train driver:
ABUSIVE. He told me to go **** myself, im lead to believe that he has been suspended.. Or at least thats what my letter from Tussauds said.
He kept shouting saying SHUT UP ITS MY TRAIN I DECIDE WHEN I LEAVE OR NOT, GET OFF THE PLATFORM.. WAIT FOR THE NEXT TRAIN and then what really annoyed me is my mum said something about it not been twenty 2, and he did the mouth thing with his hand.
Queue lines:
Wheres the TV's?
Breakdowns:
Point taken, but when 5 rides (Stealth, Nemesis Inferno, Tidal Wave, Slammer and X:\ No Way Out) breakdown and don't work for the rest of the day (4 hours) you can see why I was annoyed.
Nemesis broke down after 2 rides (Of both which I was on)
Tidal wave broke down about 2pm
Slammer about 2:15pm
X:\ Been very tempermental all day.
Stealth: We already know the reason why.
On a plus side though, Tussauds Shop staff knew what do so I could get my 20% discount with annual pass - Which is more than what can be said for AT staff!

You've got to remember that alot of Thorpe Park's rides can't really be seen anywhere else, Slammer is now the only S&S Sky Swat in the world, the same applies to rush, and that was a world's first.
And, on my vist I seem to remember seeing, Oblivion, RITA, AIR and Ripsaw down.
Plus, you gotta remember that they belong to the same company.

Alton Towers has staff that are rude, but never have they been rude to me.
Rides breaking down is not the parks nor Tussauds fault, however it's the amount of time to resolve the problem(s) thats anoying.
Point taken with TP's rides, but remember Alton Towers has a fair few world firsts! (Oblivion, Air!)
is
drayton-mannot-the-same?
BUT! Oblivions been there for a good 6 years now! And air is in it's 4th season.Originally Posted by AdamCookie!
