Ok, i'm a Thorpe Park addict, so basically ALL of my reviews/discussions will be based on Thorpe Park.
Today children, I will talk about the 100ft high, 75km per hour, towering tower (is that alliteration or not?), Detonator. Now, this is not my favoured ride, infact I think it's not that great. Detonator is located at Thorpe Park in the Calypso Quay section, with a height restriction of 1.3m. You go up, and depending what side you are on you will have a nice view of the surroundings. I reccommend the side facing away from Inferno. So, your up 100ft, and you've got the 5 second countdown. Between each number there is two beats, kind of a good countdown really, on 3 the preliminary magnets come off, and you drop at teensy weensy bit, then you finsih the countdown and WEEEEE your legs come up under the force, and your back on the ground! Whoopee!
Intensity: 10/10
Suitable for: Adrenaline Junkies
Queue time on a busy day: 45 minutes (approx.)
Queue time on a normal day: 25 minutes (approx.)
