I certainly agree about food offerings - sometimes I’ve not fancied some of them although the fish and chips place is ok. My other issue is that Fins menu choice is pretty limited and not enough choice like there used to be.

Similar to the above but I got on Time Warp at Canada's Wonderland which is a horrible Zamperla Volare and one of the worst coasters I've ridden.  But had to get the cred!

Well, yesterday was pretty amazing :) There were so many highlights including the very amusing Hex takeover and the talk from Tech services was really interesting too - those coaster wheels were very cool too! The other highlight was the Wicker Man ERT which was awesome and I managed 8 goes :) Shame...

Awesome pics as always from an amazing day! - thanks hursty

I had a burger at Fins on the day of the Southern Screamer and whilst it was ok, I do think the reduced menu is a bit of a shame as they used to have a pretty good selection of dishes to choose from.  Having said that, the pasty place looks interesting so I may check it out next time I'm at Thorpe

Wow, what a fab event! ERT on Nemesis Inferno to begin the day was awesome - I managed 16 rides which was fab :)  Also the Q&A was really interesting even if a lot of the Fright Nights stuff is still secret!  The BTS of Ghost Train was an amazing insight into how the ride works and the staff pro...

Received itinerary ok can't wait to see everyone as well

Awesome pics from  a fab day

I had a fab time as well which was full of fun and great to catch up with everyone and also meet some new people :) The Dungeons were really good and better than I expected with some really great actors too - "this is a boat, this is a river" etc :)  Also the gnome in The Smiler ride area ...

Ticket booked, so excited to see everyone

So would I, rides in the dark are always a winner especially if it's a nice summer evening

Personally, I've never been a fan of IAC so I'm kind of glad but at the same time I hope Thorpe do something better with the space

Thanks for the great pics hursty - brings back memories of an amazing day with everyone

I forgot to mention the takeover of Pizza Pasta which was awesome!

I had a fantastic day yesterday and would like to thank everyone for making it such a memorable and enjoyable event. The Nemesis ERT was a fab way to start the day and the sight of everyone running round for more goes is always entertaining! Loved the ride takeovers, especially Blade of course and t...

Welcome to all the new members and hope you enjoy it here

I'd agree with Ladyofthelake having also done a USA roadtrip recently at those parks apart from Kentucky Kingdom - 2 days at Cedar Point is definitely a good idea as there's a lot to do.  Holiday World can easily be done in a day and what is good is that included in the park ticket is unlimited drin...

Hi Michelle - Unfortunately I can't make it to the event now which is really disappointing as I was really looking forward to it but I hope everyone has a fab day.

Thunderhawk at Dorney Park last month after an amazing US coaster road trip  and my 325th cred

As others have said, it's really shocking to read and awful that a park could neglect all the safety requirements.  As someone who's visited the park (albeit quite a long time ago), it's also sad as when I went there, I had a good time and even went back a second day.  Perhaps given the findings, ma...
