How dare you! haha just kidding, BPPB does look like a pile of crap, but it's a great park. The Pepsi Max Big One is v. rough now IMO but maybe just worth it for the first drop - Back seat's amazing. The wild mouse is unreal and my favourite ride at the park. Revolution looks pretty standard but the drops are great! Hope you guys enjoy the time over here, I'll be at Port Aventura in June - Can't wait!

No, I do agree with you. The majority of the time, it does just crawl over the top, but once or twice it does make it over rather comfortably.

You guys are joking about X:\ right? Or are you looking forward to seeing how truly awful it is?!?!

It didn't crawl over every time, on one ride we flew over the top hat, was the best ride of the day!!! When it rolls back, I believe they have to take you off, reset it, test it 3 times and then you can get back on - How long this takes, I'm not sure. However with the calibre of the TP attendants yesterday I would say that an hour is a fair estimate.

Afraid not mate - Apparently it 'normally' rolls back once or so a day, but not today, I was on once and it just creeped over, I was praying for it to fall backwards.....never did though. Nevermind eh.

Went to Thorpe Park for the first time this season today and rode Stealth 10 times! As you may have guessed, I loved it. The front row was the best for the launch - Was pretty intense! The back row gave good airtime over the top hat as long as it didn't just crawl over! Only one car was running today but the longest we waited was 35mins - However this did include a 20 minute delay to clear a bird from the front car wheels which had been wiped out big time! If someone had just put on some gloves and grabbed it out, would've been much quicker. However we had to wait for a man with a big pole to prise it out! Comedy moment of the day. Anyways, whoevers going soon I proimise you this - You won;t be disappointed. So intense, so smooth - Awesome! PS Colossus sucks ass.

Ride Rita at Alton Towers.....Only cos Nemesis got stuck whilst we were on it at closing time!

Hi all, my name's Rich and I live just south of London in a town called Guildford. I'm off to Alton towers on Thursday and Thorpe Park for some Stealth action the week after!!! Was in Florida last summer, rode all the rides as expected, was a little disappointed with Sheikra tbh. Kraken's the daddy out there!!
