A Brief Update for Thorpe Park today, First up is some shots of NI in Action, this shows the train going down the drop
NI going through the second corkscrew
Tidal Wave was working fine all day today
Normally the ride always brakes down at least once or twice on the lift hill, but I never saw any such incidents
Tidal Wave Takes the Plunge
Depth Charge in all its Glory, It seems impossible to ride this on a weekend unless you want to wait in a 45 mins approx queue which is what it reached today so I didnt bother again as usual and for a ride that last less 10 seconds, Its pretty pointless queueing that long
These are the Water Slides at Thorpe which are normally open only throughout the summer months. However when I snapped this picture, I noticed that the water running down the slides was on and the Water Fountain nearby was on too, I found this weird because the slides was closed and were not going to open either.
This is the Sears Tower in Model World, you can also see Tidal Wave and part of the Flying Fish in the background
The Eiffel Tower and The Statue of Liberty in Model World
there was no WaterBuses today and they havent actually been in operation for a while now, but the train was still operating to the farm anyway
Eclipse in all its Glory which is now built and fully operating although its still waiting for an proper load/unload Platform as its still a temporary one
And now for some views from the Big Wheel, First up is a great view of Tidal Wave
The Building for X No Way out which is such a horrible ride now, lets hope that the much needed revamp for 2004 is worth it
You can see the Spiderman Show Set here plus Nemesis Inferno is off to the right hand side :)
A Final shot showing Colossus and X again from the Eclipse
