Especially at Alton, in Thorpe you can always see everything from almost anywhere in the park whereas at Alton its easy to get lost.

Honestly you should of seen thorpe parks like 5 years ago, Stealth took up half the map literally.

Not necessarily a bad thing though, Rage has amazing hangtime on the loop!

That stupid rumor that has been around long before the closure of Colossos. It has been debunked by the CEO of Holzbau Cordes who is responsible for the wooden parts, in an interview January 2015, where he also named several counter measures. German Source Edit: Unless you have any other sources, which have not been named on german coaster forums??? My bad - I have heard this A LOT, thought that a source wouldn't be needed with it being closed for around a year now I thought this was just general knowledge. I didn't realise the Mack bobsleds weren't meant to be like this honestly, both Avalanche at Blackpool and Trace du Hourra were like this, however Avalanche was not as bad.

Agreed, just found out more details, he was crushed to death by an elevator. Haven't got a written source but its probably on like Kirmes.

Accident occured earlier today on Winjas, not sure which track. He was maintaining the track and I believe was struck by a car, all sources I have found have been really unclear however this is from @kirmes_entertainment on Instagram. Related article I found: www.general-anzeiger-bonn.de/ga-english/58-year-old-dies-in-accident-at-Phantasialand-article3508480.html

There were huge woodworm problems which were literally eating away at the supports and track and they spread a lot before there were noticed. Isn´t expectable for woodies? I think oher woodies suffer the same problems? I could imagine maintenance crew could check this more deeply from time to time. Maybe that would help to solve the problem before it got wide spread. I think colossos was left a bit neglected, normally the park will catch them before they spread I believe however clearly not at Heide.

Revolution Hybrid NOT Manufactured by RMC (thats allowed right?)

Got to go with Grand National at Blackpool however the Wild Mouse and Tomahawk at PortAventura are also excellent, Tomahawk really suprised me!

Don't think so, but I guess its the only IP that really goes with a wooden coaster. I hadn't even heard of it until now!

Furius Baco - absolutely loved it and would put it on the same level as Shambhala, honestly I think the roughness adds to the out of control feeling and if your on an inside seat its tolerable for me at least!

Every big ride has a bag storage, Swarm Stealth and Saw have got free like wristband bag store but Nemesis Inferno and Colossus have station racks. X has also got a bag store. Everything else you can just leave your bags in the station. If you want to leave it for the full day though there are some pretty big lockers under the dome entrance area but if it won't fit Guest Services near depth charge will probably just store it for you. Thorpe Park have announced that I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! Maze will be closed on the following dates during the 2017 season: Friday 31st March – Monday 1st May, Saturday 27th May – Sunday 4th June, and Friday 30th June – Monday 4th September. So if you do really want to go on it then hopefully you weren't planning to go any of those dates. It really isn't much of a loss if you don't get to do it, it is as bad as people say it is. Really strange how it is closed on both major holidays, hope it doesn't turn into the next Nemesis Sub Terra.

Well, at least it does more than TTD or Kingda Ka. The actual layout doesn't look too bad and I hope they keep to the concept art theming wise!

I mean, Steel Dragon 2000 got new trains from B&M. And some Vekoma coasters have trains from Schafer / Sunkid Heege. As unlikely as it is, it's still possible. Don't forget Titan MAX, those trains could go very cheap and they are for the same track style, and only have like 2 years of use on them. Although lets get back on topic, I cannot wait for an actual pov, on or offride because with the editing style its hard to tell where stuff is sped up.

Yeah theres also a door I believe although I don't think I'm a Celebrity is wheelchair friendly anyway I'm going with someone who can walk but has bad knees and a bad back. I think it would be possible to go through it however there is always an hour queue even on weekdays as it has like 10 people go through every 5 minutes. I would only bother if they get an access pass due to the bad knees/back. You aren't missing out on much honestly.

You wouldn't like London or pretty much any other major European city.

Yeah theres also a door I believe although I don't think I'm a Celebrity is wheelchair friendly anyway

Nope, but it is the first for a very long time they have Volcano, Sarakennis plus Tornado in Madrid. Feel like I've forgotten another one though.

I think thats fairly likely, OzIris also has a similar height restriction which is 1.3m, 51inches. It would be great as Toverland is very family focused.

It reopened a few weeks ago after a major refurbishment just sayinggg

Indeed it was Stealth was just down August, it reopened late September. I can't remember what was wrong. They are also improving DBGT this off season. Quite simply making it work more than half the time would be a huge improvement though. I rode it two times and both times it was quite simply mediocre.

Definite: Thorpe Park Alton Towers Adventure Island Europe trip: Plopsaland de Panne? Walibi Belgium? Toverland Movie Park Germany Phantasialand Holiday Park Tripsdrill? Depends: (Nothing limiting me just like whether its worth the visit) Drayton Manor Chessington Legoland? Paulton's Park Lightwater Valley Southport Pleasureland
