They didnt even bother to open Factory Coaster when I went a couple of months ago. Falcon is really great though. Supprised how good it was for a wing coaster.
Just tuned in to Radio 4 and The Curious Cases of Rutherford and Fry was set in Thorpe Park in an episode about the 'science of screams'. They rode The Swarm and screamed a lot.
Not a great indicator of park performance:

Haha Richard in the maze! Fantastic video Peep. Really sums up our hilarious trip.
Edit: You missed the best bit where we turned into the A-Team and I had to jump into the side door of the bus as Richard sped across a Netto car park.
Only managed two from my list this year:
Lech Coaster
Hyperion
A new possible list (probably forgotten loads):
Junker
Taiga
Flying Turns
Storm Chaser
El Toro
Steel Vengeance
Flash
Soaring with Dragon
OCT Thrust SSC1000
Python in Bamboo Forest

Tatsu. I adore the intensity of a pretzel loop, there's noting else like it, and the one on Tatsu is obscene. I really like Crystal Wing too because of all the theming and near misses. Haven't don't Ripper or Dinosaur.
I don't really care that much for the big blockbuster actions films that lend themselves to IMAX. Occasionally, I've been but it's bloody expensive and I don't really care enough to bother.
I think they are, mostly, a bit of a gimmick - the big IMAX in Waterloo is probably worth the...
Call it nostalgia but I'm still voting for Vampire. Thirteen is also excellent as a family cred. Both have gothic themes and although, technically, Thirteen does more, Vampire has the way cooler soundtrack. Strong mention of Flight of the Pterosaur, also.
I quite liked it on my early morning ride so I'm a bit sad. Can totally see why it's going though - I was the only one in the park and the ride ops said that was perfectly normal.
