Thorpe Park Annual Pass Day - Saturday 15th March 2014
Advertised opening time: 10am - 4pm (They extended to 5pm!)
Time in Park: 12:00 - 5:00pm
Rides Closed (all day): Slammer, Samurai, Zodiac.
RIDECOUNT:
The Swarm x5
Nemesis Inferno x4
Stealth x1
Colossus x1
X x1 (Love the changes!)
Saw x1
Rumba Rapids x1
Very good day, there were a few issues but it's to be expected on the first day of the season. I avoided the flats as they were either running poorly or closed, Rush in particular looked rubbish.
We experienced a hilarious breakdown on The Swarm, on the first break run it virtually ground to a halt and we were left hanging off the last corner (we were in row 2), it was quite funny!
Saw was running absolutely dire, no better than it was at the end of last season.
The park seemed to have a really good, relaxed atmosphere today. Music wise it could have been better though - I was rather hoping for the entrance music back! Also, the Canada Creek playlist wasn't playing (playing some random jungle sounds instead) so that area lacked the feel it usually has. WTTP radio also seemed to be less songs, more adverts so I'm not sure if they are being a bit stingy with the royalties?
Overall it was a brilliant day even with the flaws, the park wasn't very busy and I was very impressed that they extended to 5pm.
