I've always been told its not about size its how you use it.

Here I thought Saw's Cattle pens couldn't get any worse, don't get me wrong we need more coverings in queues but this looks unpleasant.

When I went earlier in the year they closed at 4pm. With the Skyride still closed we didn't have the time to do everything in the park, the shorter opening hours this year are appalling.

Maybe its because they don't want drunk people to be vomiting on the rides every hour

I don't think its that big of a deal. I never really put too much thought into the Pepsi Max Big One and Ribena Rumba Rapids, so long as it doesn't detract from the experience then its okay. If the first minute of a ride experience was watching a 30 second advertisement then yeah sure that would...

Can't really make any reasonable complaint personally, this looks like it'll be the best ride in the country. Looks like its gonna kick ass and finally gives me a reason to go back to Thorpe Park.

Not much point cleaning the parts when its still a construction site, could just end up getting dusty and dirty again anyway. Edit: Looks like Dar beat me to it 😅

If I'm not mistaken wasn't Rita repainted to look dull and withered when they rethemed the area from Ug land to the Dark Forest?

As long as it doesn't end up being an eye sore I really couldn't care less what they do with the theme, so long as it doesn't impact the ride experience I'm just happy to know we are getting Nemesis for many more decades!

Gotta go with Mack here. The B&M Hyper doesn't look all that interesting, why bother when you can go to Spain or Germany to ride a decent Hyper. The Mack layout looks thrilling and unique, it may look on the slightly shorter side but personally I don't mind short rides if they're enjoyable.

My partner has not had more fun on any other ride than she has on CanCan Coaster so it may leave me a little biased, but the ride is just great fun and the theming is exactly what France needed.

If the throughput is anything like colossus (which I doubt it will be) then they'll get a train out every 3 minutes. That was how long it took them to get a train out last Tuesday it was disgraceful, considering that Colossus is one of the more popular rides among the GP its incredible how long...

Personally I find Colossus at Thorpe Park to be a fun ride to watch, especially as the path winds through the middle of the layout. The heartline rolls as well being the best part to watch. However, I do avoid this washing machine every single time I visit, except on weird occasions where I...
