The music created a lovely atmosphere around the park and gave guests the chance to ride the rides in the dark aswell! The park was fairly quiet with maximum queuing times of 30 minutes which made it much better and didn't need to spend so much money on fastrack ! Me and my friends ride count: Zodiac x2 Quantum x2 Vortex Samurai Colossus x2 Loggers Leap Flying Fish x5 Nemesis Inferno x2 Mr Monkey's Banana Ride Rush Fireworks began at 7pm and lasted for about 10 minutes and for that amount of time, the firework display was fantastic! Here are the videos of the firework display! Part 1 (Short video of the beginning) http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEMMPqJ1izM Part 2 (The rest of the firework display) http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=--99PwI4EuA The sound quality isn't the best and is extremely loud because i filmed it via my mobile phone and me and my friend were near a speaker (Not intentional!) Here's my pictures, also taken via my mobile phone Colossus Quantum Me and My Friend Tidal Wave Detonator Tidal Wave Nemesis Inferno Station And again from a different angle Quantum Rush Me and My Friend again!

Sounds like you had a good day. Im glad the Thorpe Blast event seemed to go well, Thorpe seemed to have some serious issues with coping on the busier days of Fright Nights, judging by some reports on other sites, so Im glad it was a nice end to the season.   Posted: Thu Nov 13, 2008 5:45 pm mardy Park Preview Owner Joined: 14 Aug 2007 Posts: 1342 Location: The English Riviera Cool pics, thanks for posting them. That station building on Saw looks even bigger than I thought it would! Gutted to see Stealth closed.   Posted: Thu Nov 13, 2008 7:03 pm pinklottie91 Joined: 12 Mar 2008 Posts: 27 Location: Portsmouth, Hampshire Thanks everybody! Me and my friend were very impressed with how the day went and will certainly return next year It was very unfortunate that Stealth wasn't open, especially as when we went in August it was also closed Maybe next year I have to agree with you mardy, when i saw the station it surprised as to how big it was But looks very good that i'll certainly be dragging my friend on that! _________________ Theme Parks is love <3   Posted: Thu Nov 13, 2008 8:04 pm mardy Park Preview Owner Joined: 14 Aug 2007 Posts: 1342 Location: The English Riviera pinklottie91 wrote: when i saw the station When you SAW the station - ha, ha, nice unintentional pun there!   Posted: Thu Nov 13, 2008 10:07 pm mardy Park Preview Owner Joined: 14 Aug 2007 Posts: 1342 Location: The English Riviera Report now featured on the Park Preview home page.
