I have to agree with Benin, the park is pretty run down and I think they need to carry out the refurb on Dragon Falls, as well as on other rides. But the biggest picture is that Chessie is a theme park and they haven't had a major attraction in 11 years. I think a Rapids and the family launched coaster would be amazing and it would help the park a lot, along with other much needed improvements.

I need to get something off my chest: No one in the world is perfect and most people tend to make a few mistakes here and there, and we can excuse them. But I have never met anyone in my entire life who is as blonde as my sister. She brought tickets to Odeon from Groupon, only to find out they're only valid outside M25. She told me she checked the Terms & Condition's for what films I can't use them for (Taken 3 and 3rd Hobbit) and when they expire. I can't believe she'd check the 2 of the 3 conditions but not check what Odeon Cinemas you can't use them at. She then had the cheek to ask if I wanted to go all the way to Guildford to watch a film, to which I said, no thanks, and now that silly cow has lost herself £12, and it serves her right for not checking things properly.

I think that Merlin have become complacent and I really hope Paramount UK goes ahead and encourages some good, old fashion competition which should motivate and push Merlin to try harder and deliver better.

I'd be very happy with a family, launched coaster for the Glade (between Wild Asia and Mystic East) and then a rapids near Zufari. I hope what Matt Creek (member) said is true, because the green belt land restrictions are preventing the park from expanding and improving.

Some songs I've got into recently: Maps by Maroon 5 Kings by Pierces Wings by Birdy Demons by Imagine Dragons

Those plans look great, but honestly I'd prefer a family-thrilling coaster like a family launch coaster, than a rapids ride especially when we have Bubbleworks.

Games I've been playing: Assassin's Creed Unity and Rogue Far Cry 4 Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare Infamous: Second Son Watch_Dogs This year, I'll be getting: Assassin's Creed: Victory Batman: Arkham Knight Ratchet & Clank (PS4) Uncharted 4 Rise of the Tomb Raider

It's been a while since this topic has been updated but here's the lowdown: 1. Her 2013 album, ARTPOP was well-recieved but under-performed compared to previous albums 2. Faced huge media backlash 3. ARTPOP tour does well 4. Releases a #1 collaborative Jazz covers album with Tony Bennett (her 3rd consecutive #1 release) 5. Is making another Jazz album with Tony and is working on her 4th album which is rumoured to have rock or jazz-pop music 6. Reunited with RedOne and is working with Diane Warren, Fernando Garibay and Nile Rodgers and is said to come out in Q1 2016.

I was browsing TowersTimes and they said the total height of the building the ride can use is 18metres which they assume that there will be some kind of thrilling element inside. They also said it rules out automatic guided vehicles and lasers. IMO, I don't think it makes sense to build a laser ride because we have one at Chessie and one at Alton. I'd love to see a Mummy/Gringotts (smaller scale) or a Spiderman/Transformers, just something amazing that could compete with Paramount. I'm sceptical it would be any of the 2 types of rides because someone mentioned that the Mummy's height is 30m, whereas we have 18m. Also, some guy on SouthParks said that the ride is supposed to come out in 2018, I don't know if that's true.

I agree with Mark, Thorpe have been installing nothing but flats and rollercoasters since 2000, and I am personally very happy to see Thorpe taking a break from coasters to bring us something new and innovative. They are being diverse in what attractions they offer us and to change their audience to family, really opens up themselves to new and exciting possibilities. Secondly, I don't get how anyone can say dark rides are boring - I love the Spiderman ride and Mummy rollercoaster and the Gringotts and Transformers rides look amazing. I'd be happy with anything half as great as the aforementioned. Thirdly, this is Thorpe and Merlin's biggest investment ever so I imagine this to be technically-great and fantastically-themed. Also they're re-developing and creating a whole area and there's also clearing being done on Miss Hippo's Fungal Safari.

So if this ride is not due for release until 2016, then we're not to expect the announcement till about Summer 2015?

I would like the SFX coaster - Gringotts meets Saw's indoor section to be Thorpe's next big ride. I hope it could go in the Fungal Safari area, I don't know how big the area is.

Nemesis >>> Nemesis Inferno I've always seen Nemesis as being superior to Nemesis Inferno and would prefer for Thorpe to drop the Nemesis from the title, and call it Inferno. Also, I don't think Nemesis Inferno has any strengths.

Screamscape has posted that Thorpe Park is preparing to break ground on what will rumoured to be their largest investment in the park's history. Are you here for a new area re-themed to a major IP? Are you here for a rumoured dark ride on Miss Hippo's Fungal Safari? What do you think the new IP will be?

I wasn't really sure because my circumstances are quite unique. I was born left-handed but because my Mum (Chinese) is superstitious she decided to force me from a young age to write with a right-hand. Her reason was that all the men on my Dad's side of the family were really successful and she thought it would SOMEHOW affect my future. I put left-hand because I was born left-handed and was always supposed to be left-handed. Random fact - For some reason I punched someone in a fight with my left-hand, which was quite weird for me.

All I want is a good ride with high capacity & throughput / RPH (riders per hour)

I loved Rita when I first went to Alton, back in 2008, but now I've been on Cheetah Chase, I think Rita is ****. I understand the appeal of having Stealth and Rita, but I would have loved to have had the original, extended Stealth at Thorpe Park, which I think would've been a lot better. As for a launch coaster, I think it would be great to have that Broomstick (fake?) motorbike coaster in Gloomy Wood, but then I don't see the need for Gloomy Wood, when we have Dark Forest. I'd rather they combine Gloomy Wood with Katanga Canyon. So I hope they do something with KC and GW for SW8 or in the future.

I don't want a Topspin anymore, I mean it would've been nice to have something like Talocun, but Thorpe needs to be concentrating on good-quality rides with good throughput / high-RPH (riders-per-hour). I wouldn't wait for a 30+ minute Topspin...

I would like 2 things for Thorpe: 1. An indoor rollercoaster 2. A modern, log flume and mine train coaster where Logger's Leap is (if it were possible) They can be something crazy and wild, and not focused on disaster-related themes like previously.

I've been stalking this topic for a while and watching things unfold. Though none of us known for certain what Paramount will bring, I thought it might be like Universal Studios with mostly indoor attractions, which is best suited for our climate. We don't have many dark rides and our weather is unpredictable, so having a USO-type park would greatly benefit the UK. That said, I think it would be great if the park were like Islands of Adventure with a good amount of indoor and outdoor attractions, which is what things look to be like from this plan. Secondly, I don't know that plan is just a rough plan or one detailing what exactly they want to build. WTF? @ 3rd paragraph: I disagree with your comment about Paramount UK being similar to HP Studios, as HP Studios isn't an actual theme park but just a BTS tour. "Dark rides not be re-ride worthy", is crap because people flock from all around the world for Universal Studios Orlando and there are Americans with Annual Passes, who go several times a year and we all would go several times a year if we had the money/time/teleporter/Nightcrawler abilities. I have better hopes for Paramount UK than Dreamland Margate, a park which is inferior to Paramount UK and one, that I can see people being more enthusiastic about. We're discussing this future theme park and you're right to disagree about there not being any rollercoasters. But you're wrong to say that Paramount UK, will not be return-worthy like Harry Potter Studios. Don't forget there will be restaurants, gyms, entertainment complex and other facilities, which will boost their chances of success. Good night!

I've waited for a long time for change to happen and if a new major player could come to the UK and change up the monopoly that Merlin have with Alton, Thorpe and Chessington, that can only be a good thing I feel. It's understandable that they've become complacent and feel like they don't need to try as much, because there's no one coming for their metaphorical crown. Kent thankfully, is only 30-40 minutes away and so, I could see myself coming here in the future. I just hope that Paramount give us world-class thrills, in the hope that Merlin step-up their game. Thoughts?

I still think the best, big investment the park needs is a new coaster and Benin's idea for a family-launched coaster is a great option. I really do hope we get a new coaster, as it's been now 10 years since the installation of Dragon's Fury.

So Screamscape posted this video:and said the coaster 'bares striking similarities' to what the Harry Potter coaster can do. I don't know if this video has already been posted. Whilst I overall liked the Forbidden Journey at IOA, I felt like it summarised the Harry Potter films (the best bits), but I really like the new Gringotts coaster, and think it will be much better than FJ. Is anyone going this year?

What I'd ideally like, is for Thorpe to build a signature dark ride, right in the centre of the park, where Storm Surge, the Arena and XNWO are. They can make a dark-ride area with maybe 3 dark rides in the centre, it would be something unique.
