Thorpe Park: General Discussion
Still on one this morning but with it holding steady at around 70 minutes they're probably in no big rush, they probably should try before this weekend if it's at all possible- Martin

Thorpe Park: General Discussion
I hope nobody from Merlin is reading this but I would even pay extra for something that lets actors who normally can't touch you do so, in the mazes and around the park- Martin

Thorpe Park: General Discussion
Stitches is fantastic. Dead Beat was a bit of a disappointment. Trailers was ok. Can't really comment on Survival Games because I managed to go the wrong way and come out behind the actors doing the finale and by the time they'd got me back where I was supposed to be I'd no idea what was going...- Martin

Thorpe Park: General Discussion
Built different 😉 Was just on a strict get the coasters done mission. Started early, moved strategically, wasn't as intense as it sounds tbh, worst was just finding a parking space at Chessie- Martin

Thorpe Park: General Discussion
It was running until around 11 last night. Waited 2 hours 20 to the minute for it, half an hour faster than advertised. They were churning trains out as fast as they could, sprinting down the station. In my defence it was for my first ride, we'd spent the day at LLW and Chessie so thought...- Martin

Yesterday was the anniversary of German reunification. A coded message about the rise and inevitable fall of another German state, perhaps- Martin

Are you a doer or a relaxer on holiday?
Always been a do-er, if not a theme park then a city. Used to get bored on family holidays as a kid going to a resort in the Canaries or something and not really doing anything. But after spending time in Phú Quốc on our honeymoon in 2022 we decided to mix it up last year and stayed in a villa...- Martin

Planet Coaster 2: General Discussion
Yeah, I have a 2023 Asus Zenbook Duo Pro (one of those gimmicky ones with the second screen above the keyboard, very useful for design software (great idea for PC2 to have a feature where all the menus and pop ups and things can go on the bottom screen)) and on paper it has all the specs to run...- Martin

Where is your local park and how often do you visit?
Growing up it was Gullivers Warrington, which I remember going pretty regularly for years. It's still close but there's nothing for me there even they didn't have their policy of not letting adults in without children. Nowadays unless you count Knowsley Safari Park having a cred and the fair at...- Martin

Nemesis Reborn: General Discussion
Very very niche question, but if this isn't the place to ask it, nowhere is Does anyone know why the left hand seat of row 7 has those little red brace things on the back, and no other seat? What's that about?- Martin

Drop towers or shot towers?
Too easy Leaving out things like Mystery Castle and Tower Of Tower I'd probably say drop towers. I miss Apocalypse at Drayton and Atmosphere at Liseberg genuinely had me scared. I do feel that if they're too big they start losing impact though, Condor at PA for example I just got bored half way...- Martin
