(March 04) |
Q: Which
'Coaster do you prefer? |
A: |
Colossus:
46%
Nemesis Inferno: 54% |
37
Votes |
An
unsurprising result here - both of Thorpe's major 'Coasters
are fantastic. However, it seems Nemesis Inferno has
the edge. |
Vote

Q: Does
X:\NWO give a good enough ride? |
A: |
Yes:
29%
No: 71% |

Most
people agree that something has to be done with this
ride in the near future - it really is quite an odd experience. |

A: |
Tidal
Wave: 61%

popular water ride at Thorpe. |

Q: Are
Thorpe's admission fees good value for money? |
A: |
Yes:
19%
No: 81% |
32
Votes |
The
majority think that Thorpe's prices are too much for
one day out. Hopefully Tussauds will have a re-think
on pricing in the future. |

is your favourite area at Thorpe Park? |
A: |
Lost
City: 52%
Calypso Quay: 24%
Amity Cove: 10%
Other: 14% |
29

Lost
City contains many of Thorpe's most intense and best
rides, and with the Sky Swatter and Giant Swing to soon
be added - it comes out on top in the poll. |
Vote

you be going to a Thorpe Fright Nite? |
A: |
Yes:
54%
No: 31%

half will be attending 2004's spooky special event. |
Vote

2005 ride are you most looking forward to? |
A: |
Sky
Swatter: 76%
Giant Swing: 24%

Q: Was
2004 the best Season at Thorpe Park ever? |
A: |
Yes:
37%
No: 40%
Unsure: 23%
|
30

Quite
an even divide of answers this month, but more people
think that Thorpe Park has previously had a better Season
than 2004. |
Vote

Q: Are
Slammer and Rush good names for the 2005 rides? |
A: |
Yes:
43%
No: 57%
|
44
Votes |
Very
split down the middle. Obviously the new names don't
quite appeal to everybody. |
Vote

(January 05) |
Q: Will
you miss the Flying Fish? |
A: |
Yes:
59%
No: 41%
|
51
Votes |
Again,
an even divide! However, it seems many of you will miss
this old Thorpe ride, originally installed as Space Station
Zero in the 1980s! |

do you think of www.thorpepark.com (2004 site)? |
A: |
Like
it : 22%
It's OK: 53%
Dislike it: 25% |
32
Votes |
Most
seem to think the 2004 Liquorice site was adequate, with
only a few expressing a strong like or dislike to it.
TTP thinks the 2005 official site by Semantic is much better. |
Vote

(March 05) |
Q: Does
Slammer look intimidating? |
A: |
Yes
: 61%
A Little: 26%
No: 13% |
69
Votes |
When
standing next to it, Slammer does look massive, so it's
unsurprising that so many people think it's intimidating!
It's as high as Detonator when operating... |
Vote
14:
(April 05) |
Q: Is
Slammer's late opening acceptable? |
A: |
Yes
: 48%
No: 52% |
105
Votes |
TTP's
biggest poll, and it seems that you are divided as to
whether it is OK that Thorpe's flagship ride for 2005
suffered so many technical difficulties at the start
of the Season. |
Vote
15:
(May 05) |
Q: Will
Thorpe Park ever be the UK's No. 1 Theme Park? |
A: |
Yes
: 61%
No: 15%
It already is!: 24% |
80

It
seems Thorpe Park is certainly a contender for the title
of "UK's best Theme Park"
- nearly a quarter of you think that it is already! |
Vote

(June 05) |
Q: Should
Pirates 4D be updated to another 4D attraction? |
A: |
Yes
: 91%
No: 9% |

The
biggest majority TTP has ever had thinks that P4D needs
to make way for a new 4D experience. |

the 2006 'Coaster be the best Thorpe ride yet? |
A: |
Yes
: 73%
No: 27% |
70
Votes |
The
majority believe the new 2006 'Coaster will be the best
Thorpe ride yet. It certainly looks impressive... |
Vote
18:
(August 05) |
Q: Is £30
a justified entrance fee? |
A: |
Yes
: 20%
No: 80% |
89
Votes |
£30
for one day out is evidently seen as too expensive for
most - especially for a family of four plus food - it
all adds up. Is the £30 entrance fee value for
money? |
Vote
19:
(September 05) |
Q: Stealth:
will it be better than Alton Towers' Rita? |
A: |
Yes
: 85%
No: 15% |
74
Votes |
Seeing
the 'Coaster being completed at the end of this month
would make anyone stand in awe: most think that Thorpe's
200ft monster will be leagues ahead of Alton's Rita. |
Vote

(October 05) |
Q: Would
you pay for a Fright Nights' Maze? |
A: |
Yes
: 33%
No: 67% |
87
Votes |
It
turned out that guests only had to pay £2 extra
for entry to the Carnival of the Bizarre this year -
and luckily, not for the mazes. |
Vote
21:
(November 05) |
Q: Were
the 2005 Fright Nights the best yet? |
A: |
Yes
: 75%
No: 25% |
36
Votes |
Not
many voters this month, but it seems that most of you
thought Thorpe's 2005 effort was impressive indeed. |
Vote
22:
(December 05) |
Q: Should
TTP keep it's black background? |
A: |
Yes
: 61%
No: 39% |
83
Votes |
You
gave your valuable opinions, and as a result the decision
was taken to scrap the black ready for TTP's new website
design. |
Vote

a good choice of name? |
A: |
Yes
: 72%
No: 28% |
75
Votes |
Over
2/3 of voters like the name - even if it has very little
to do with the theming and design of the 'Coaster! |

An
amazing start for the new look TTP - the hits have trebled,
we've had the most votes ever, and the majority are enjoying
the new image. |
Vote

(April 06) |
Q: Is
ride sponsorship a good idea? |
A: |
Yes
: 69%
No: 31% |
177
Votes |
Tidal
Wave is now sponsored by Original Source, but has this
money really improved the ride experience? However, the
majority are in favour of ride sponsorship. |
Vote
27:
(May 06) |
Q: Is
the return of the Flying Fish a good thing? |
A: |
Yes
: 77%
No: 23% |
98

The
idea of the return of the Flying Fish seems to be popular
- hopefully the improved theming will make it even better
than before. |

Q: Stealth:
Best ride in Park? |

Yes
: 73%

is Ultimate Fastrack worth it? |
A: |
Yes
: 34%
No: 66% |

Yes
: 62%
No: 38% |

will be low. |
Vote

(September 06) |
Q: Is
it OK for TP to encourage pulling a sickie? |
A: |
Yes
: 61%
No: 39% |
115
Votes |
In
all fairness, the "September Sickie"
was only intended to advertise Thorpe Park's reduced entrance
prices; but was it moral? Nearly 40% said no. |
Vote
31:
(October 06) |
Q: Is £7
for Fright Night Fastrack too much? |
A: |
Yes
: 64%
No: 36% |
160
Votes |
Seen
by a rip off to many - but when faced with 3 hour queues,
many Fright Night-goers choose to splash the cash. |
Vote

A: |
Yes
: 60%
No: 40% |

Q: Feb
Half Term Openings: worth it? |
A: |
Yes
: 60%
No: 40% |
105
Votes |
A
close one this month; with Stealth, Colossus and half
of the Lost City rides being the only major attractions
- were the early openings really worth it? |
Vote
36:

the Fish look good in its new position? |
A: |
Yes
: 65%
No: 35% |
75
Votes |
Many
people like the look of the new Flying Fish - it's fresh

Q: Be
Discovered - a worthwhile event? |
A: |
Yes
: 46%

Yes
: 61%
No: 39% |

good addition? |
A: |
Yes
: 91%
No: 9% |
101
Votes |
An
overwhelming majority believe
that a Flying Coaster, possibly similar to Air at Alton

Q: Is
Thorpe's ride reliability unacceptable? |
A: |
Yes
: 55%
No: 45% |
128
Votes |
A controversial
topic; people seem divided over the issue. It's not unfair
to say, however, that Slammer seems to have have more
downtime than uptime this Season... |
Vote

Nights 2007: the best yet? |
A: |
Yes
: 67%
No: 33% |
57
Votes |
2/3rds

put on a good show. |

Q: Do
you want to see TP open for Christmas? |
A: |
Yes
: 77%
No: 23% |
79

A
festive opening would be very well received by most.
Anyone up for hurtling at 80mph on Stealth in the Winter
cold, though?! |

Q:
Are you excited about Haunted Lighthouse 4D? |
A: |
Yes
: 62%
No: 38% |

A: |
Yes
: 72%
No: 28% |
143

The
majority of TTP visitors were planning on visiting Thorpe

Voyagers - good idea? |
A: |
Yes
: 77%
No: 23% |
69
Votes |
77%

Time Voyagers, however, hardly fits in with the surrounding
area's theming... |

(April 08) |
Q:
Could the '09 Coaster be the
best on Park? |
A: |
Yes
: 63%
No: 38% |
104
Votes |
With
the theming ideas that have been put
forward, TTP agrees that the '09 Coaster could be something
special. But will we see another Stealth-like budget
cut? |
