I adore both- but Shambhala is certainly a better overall package than Silver Star. Speed, height, first drop, theme, seat formation, lovely Spanish weather, can see the sea from lift hill... I will admit though, ops on Shambhala are faaaaaaaaar inferior to Silver Star.

It's such a sorry state of affairs. I went a couple of seasons ago and got free tickets to the following season with their rainy day guarantee. We live perhaps 30mins from Thorpe and weren't even fussed to use the free tickets. Didn't go at all last year because it's just that ****e...

Good to know- thank you. Looks like it's a no go for us then!!

Exaclty this. We haven’t had anything good at Thorpe for YEARS. Everything they do is a miss. Rolling a turd in glitter. A horrible old festering turd.

Fair enough! I deffo agree that silver star has character, but personally the sheer speed of shambhala just makes it an all together better experience. I also massively prefer the seat formation on shambhala vs silver star. I’m only short so I can’t see **** behind the four across B&M hyper...

Understatement. It’s ****ing ****e.

Rolling. That second launch on Taron is possibly one of my favourite coaster moments EVER. INSANE.

Silver star over Shambhala! Now that is interesting... may I ask why?

Only done Saw. Do not enjoy.

Sounds entirely ****e. Good one thorpe.

It's similar enough to someone who hasn't ridden many coasters! Really, Wikerman is smaller and less intimidating I would say.

Yeah Wickerman is a great starter for Alton, then maybe something like Galactica or nemesis before you hit up oblivion or smiler.

Bleak.

Ahh thanks, didn’t see that post! Expensive accommodation for a (towel-less) ****ing shed!!!

Does anyone know how much those pods/pig stys are costing per night? I'd be interested to know...

Hate to be a Debbie downer but I do not like those trains... the nose just looks so bizarre and stuck on, it doesn't really flow as a design.

This is a flaming pile of ****e. What the hell is this?!

Fair enough, but I don't think they're going to kick you off the site for accidentally posting something which has already been discussed? They're a decent bunch! Really no need to constantly apologise, it kind of distracts from the conversation you're looking to start. I'll stop adding to the...

Genuinely not trying to be a knob, but why is there always an apology at the start of your posts? You really don't need to apologise if there's another post like the one you've made...

Even a DW clone would be great, surely it would be the most thrilling coaster on park? It’s got some force in certain seats but still approachable enough for younger visitors. An excellent addition I would say!
