  1. To be honest, I didn't know if he was being honest or an idiot.
  2. Seriously?
  3. What's happening at the park? I heard a new rollercoaster was coming in 2014...
  4. Will replied to Rich's topic in UK Attractions
    It's look quite well-done and I was surprised a park like Paulton's would do something like this.
  5. I'm very happy with what is happening. I was worried with Drayton for a moment. It's sad to see they're getting rid of the Pirate Adventure ride, a lot of people have said wonderful things about it. On TTF, someone mentioned there are still plans for a thrill ride in the place of the Black Revolver. Exciting times for theme parks except Chessington....*cries*
  6. So what is happening with this park? I heard they installed some children's airplanes coaster and that something brilliant would be coming in 2014 in the Corkscrew's place. Anyone no more?

    Ahh some investment, I'm happy now all we need is a new rollercoaster like Manta at SeaWorld San Diego and I'm very happy

  9. I'd love Chessie to get one of these. It's not tall and it's thrilling enough to be enjoyed by teens and adults. Is that an inversion I see, a corkscrew?

    I agree, I didn't like the old Dungeons because it seemed too cramped and there was waiting on the pavement outside and the attractions exterior IMO, didn't look as presentable as it could be. With the County Hall, it looks bigger and wider and as Rattlesnake1 says, it would hopefully allow them to expand and improve the themeing and presentation. I mean, having a few, new attractions and more freedom and space to breathe would be beneficial and in addition, the close proximity to the other two attractions would allow for easier travelling than compared to having to travel to two separate locations.

    I think it would be a fantastic idea if the proposed move goes ahead and it would be brilliant if this Dungeons was the flagship and therefore had the most attractions and best experiences and biggest of them all. In Amsterdam, there's this Grim Reaper rollercoaster at the Dungeons and I'd love to see an indoor-dark rollercoaster at the Dungeons and obviously it would be a sizable installment and well-themed.
  12. The thing with Chessington's Topspin is that the market audience of Thorpe Park and Chessington are different. Chessington are a family park and a ride like the Topspin would be better suited for a place like Thorpe Park, where more people would go on it and the demand for it would be higher than of Chessington's Topspin. Thorpe Park could put the Topspin enclosed in a building and add special effects; water, fire and wind and create a pre-show and make it a nice, immersive and atmospheric experience. The Topspin at CWoAR is just a plain, old Topspin that is landscaped and themed well but it is situated outdoors, making it a great for spectators to watch. I don't know about you, but if I had to choose between Rameses Revenge and an indoor's Talocun, I'd choose the 2nd option
  13. I like this idea, it would be like the indoor Tomb Raider one with the special effects; fire, wind and water Why does it always feel that no one can share their opinion without scrutiny and getting shot down?
  14. Will replied to th13teen's topic in UK Attractions
    Will the coaster be realistically able to run 8 cars at once??
  15. I can honestly see this at Thorpe Park. It looks tall and scary.

    For liking 'You Me At Six' and for the lead singer, who can't sing Poker Face on Radio1 Live Lounge properly
  17. I just think a Jump2 would be perfect. It's unique and thrilling and it's also a good ride to watch. You get lifted off the ground like you're being grabbed by a pair of hands.

  19. Chessie are dead and will never move forward because they don't go forward with the plans they have. They have probably loads of ideas for new themed areas, new rides and rollercoasters but they can't make a decision and stick with it.

  23. I would only want a Topspin at Thorpe Park if it was a giant one and themed like Talocun as some dark ride experience otherwise I don't think it's worth it.
  24. Will replied to daboywunda's topic in The Past
    I know what people think about Jump2s, but there's only one in the world....in Canada. Jump2s are unique because they spin you around as well as swing you up into the air and are said to be very scary because it looks like arms jumping about and when you're up in the air and get spun around, thats what people find to be freaky.http://coasterbuzz.c...read/32998.aspxI mean you've got people complaining about Topspins but if Thorpe installed a Topspin (Calypso Quay) that was as well-themed as Talocun and had a decent thoroughput, would you really complain?Or how about a Huss Delirium?http://www.hussrides.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=100&Itemid=155A Gyroswing or Topple Tower would be brilliant, you could send Vortex to Chessington and keep Delirium on Swarm island, themed as some natural disaster.Slammer though a hassle, I thought was brilliant. It was scary and I actually was scared to go on it and thought it was great but a novelty ride. Rush has been brilliant for Thorpe and was something decent and new and one or two more flats would hardly be bad.They could always install a duelling Zacspin which would be fantastic and could act as a flat ride.
