Thorpe Park Rides: Zodiac
|
| Can the G Force hold You in your Seat!! |
|
|
Zodiac is very similar to Enterprise at Alton Towers. It is
a standard wheel with carriages placed on the outside of a flat wheel. As
the ride starts moving the wheel tilts up to 90 degrees in the air, creating
a thriller of a ride and add to the effect of no harnesses to hold you in
with only gravity acting as your restraint to your seat. It can make it a
very thrilling ride. The cage can hold a maximum of 2 people. Don't
judge a ride till you have experienced it for yourself!!!

Thorpe Park Rides: X NO WAY OUT
|
|
|
|
X is a
backwards rollercoaster with the added bonus of being in the dark. It was
introduced in 1996 and was meant to be a big hit, but it didn’t quite make
it. The whole theme for the ride is outstanding and if you have never been
on it before it is definitely worth it. Recently Thorpe Park has added a
lot of special effects to the ride to make it more scary and realistic. X
is not a continuous rollercoaster, there is a lot of stopping and starting
so you can take in the different effects and strobe lighting. Very different
but still worth the ride.

Thorpe Park Rides: Samurai
|
| Can your Stomach Take the Punishment!! |
|
|
Samurai
was removed from Chessington world of Adventures and moved to Thorpe Park
for 2004. It was one of the most popular rides at Chessington, so it should
be a success along side other flat rides such as Vortex and Quantum. Some
say its like being on a huge swing out of control, spinning and being swung
really high to capture a view of the whole park. The ride can vary from
short to long depending on the queues. You wouldn’t want to be on this one
for very long, as you might feel sick after all the ups and downs and
spinning around. This is definitely one you will not forget!!

Thorpe Park Rides: Quantum
|
|
|
|
This Magic Carpet ride is one for
the hard stomachs out there. If you have just eaten I do not recommend this
to you. The ride takes on a swinging motion backwards and forwards and over
the top, reaching heights of 5, 10, 15 and a maximum of 45 feet. You are
pushed to different limits being lurched forwards, backwards up and down.
Your never quite sure whats going to happen next. (You might feel a little
dizzy on exiting the ride).

Thorpe Park Rides: Vortex
|
|
|
|
Vortex is one intense ride! As you take your
seat in one of the arms of Vortex you look across at the other riders, and
seeing scared faces and buzzing faces. Everyone is waiting for the floor to
drop away and to be swung left to right and whilst spinning round in circles
experiencing high speed rotations and reaching a height of 65ft. One
of the best flat rides in the UK.

Thorpe Park Rides: Colossus
|
| Experience the First 10 LOOP Rollercoaster!!!!
Colossus |
|
| Colossus is one hell of a
rollercoaster. It takes you on a ride you have never expected, taking you
into the depths of the Lost City and plunging into water caverns.
It starts off with a steep slow climb 100ft
above the Lost City, before soon dropping into the first vertical loop and
concluding with four consecutive inline twists, and a surprise twist onto
the final brake-run. Once 10 looped never forgotton!!
