*sigh* I'm all up for Alton Towers getting decent themeing, ala. mutiny bay - but isnt it time Thorpe Park saw a bit of TLC. AT has chaved a great new logo, great website, great new area which what is shaping up be excellently themed. I'm just asking why alton?Thorpe Park is crying out for this, plus its got a semi-established pirate theme going on around the Detonator P4D area. Why cant they just refit Calypso Quay - ive got great layout in my mind of how it could look - I'm sure the park could do the same. Its just frustrating - thorpe have some class ride, but is totally let down by the atmosphere. I took completely anti-fanboys to thorpe park, and although on the outside they are all like 'thorpe park is safe cos the rides are big', I ask them which is better disney or thorpe and they come back with disney, I ask why, and they say because the rides are themed. At the moment, if its not fright nights on my mind, if I think of thorpe park I just sigh at the potential I has. I would happily give up the 09' coaster for the money to put into to touching up areas, installing great themeing details, defining areas, refurbishing buildings and creating a great new entrance. Oh and spending some money on the marketing and advertising side of things. This is no longer about the towers, crap. Ok Loving mutiny bay people.
