thumbs up if you agree that there is no point in going on these rides if your wearing a waterproof poncho, its like wtf dude the ride is designed to get you wet and by wearing that your taking the fun out of the ride
@jamieduncan1 You hardly get wet at all on the descent and splash at the bottom. The water guns are the only thing that is likely to soak you but they are not working all the time.
Storm Surge is a very fun ride, and a great addition to Thorpe's lineup. Octopus Garden's rides are currently sitting in a storage area at the Weymouth SEA LIFE centre. I think they're planning on extending the park to rebuild the rides.
@MemoriesofThorpePark Hi Phill, I filmed this on Saturday afternoon (16.04.11). I went on it in the morning when it only had a 5-10 minute queue. It was great fun and will be a good ride when it's less busy to break up the day from the larger thrill rides. Just a filler attraction though, nothing that exciting.
@jamieduncan1 you rock. you went to thorpe park on my 10th birtday this year!!

Hi Daniel, I see you uploaded this yesterday (17.04.11) did you film it on the same day?
I only ask as we were at the park and tried Storm Surge for the first time. We enjoyed it, it was not amazing but was good fun! Do you like the ride?

@themeparkfan I know what you mean, luckily we didn't queue for long either, I could not imagine queuing for it if it was really busy.

@themeparkfan do you go to a different theme park everyday or something?
Lucky.
