Garet Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 So after last years trip we decided to head back to Thorpe Park, unfortunately with Collosus and Tidal Wave two of the big crowd soakers closed as well as Rush it looked like we were in for some long queues.... and i was quite pleasantly suprised, for a busy peak day and as i have said with two of the bigger rides closed the operators were extremely efficient at dispatching and though the queue boards said 60 minutes for most rides we never waited more than half hour for anything except for maybe stealth and Nemesis inferno which was a 40 minute wait at most. Warning spoilers for anyone that hasn't seen Time Voyager.... New for 2008: Time Voyagers, i have to say i really did not enjoy this at all, pirates 4D worked for me as a 10 minute film but this just seemed random things thrown together, one minute it was a spaceship port then the next it was a aztec area then a dinosaur comes from nowhere then suddenly we were underwater, i'm sure there was a story to it but we could not understand a word any of the characters were saying and all 7 of us are from different areas of England, from most of the mutterings i heard around me from children and people they agreed the same, i was to busy laughin at the fact we were supposed to believe we are in a spaceship wen the walls all still have the pirates theming and rum barrels on them. Anyway rant over i have uploaded the few pictures i managed to take but the weather was not great so i didn't get so many this year. Thanks guys for another awesome year Vortex Another year... another colourful shark won Action shot Samurai I hope... there didn't seem that much going on in the construction area while we were there, though from what i have been told eurofighters are pretty quick to build Detonator station shot Vertical loop goodness If you can see 3 roller-coasters in this picture... please contact your opticians Some Nemesis Inferno shots Time Voyagers Another year... another soaked group picture Product placement alert Slammer And another More queue shots From the queue shot We headed straight to Stealth since we missed this credit last year .... it is, its Thorpe Park! ....could it be?... .... and she has spotted something in the distance.... Lucky our photographer is awake.... Our navigator this year... again we are screwed Another year... another pair of sunglasses at 6am
