Hmm... no options...
thorpeparkjack, after answering a question you must put two of your own options for someone else to answer, OK? B)Back on topic..Listerine or Dentyl? -
Fender, and only because my head of year, Mrs. Gibson has smelly breath and always looks like she's about to keel over and die. Billy the Puppet or Jigsaw?

Coldplay - Violet HillWas a long and dark December,From the rooftops, I remember,There was snow, white snow.Clearly I remember,From the windows, they were watching.While we froze, down below.When the future's architectured,By a carnival of idiots,On show, you'd better lie low.If you love me, won't you let me know?Was a long and dark December,When the banks became cathedrals.And a fox, became God.Priests clutched onto bibles,Hollowed out to fit their rifles,And the cross, was held aloft.Bury me in honour,When I'm dead and hit the ground.A love back home, it unfolds.If you love me, won't you let me know?I don't want to be a soldier,Who the captain of some sinking ship,Would stow, far below.So, if you love me, why'd you let me go?I took my love down to Violet Hill,There we sat in snow.All that time she was silent still.So, if you love me, won't you let me know?If you love me, won't you let me know?

in The Future
What about the latest innovation from our good old friends who bought us Zodiac - Huss?HUSS KING KONGThe gondola is designed for up to 24 passengers with a maximum height of 12,5 m (41 ft.) and a footprint of 10 m x 11,5 m (33 ft. x 38 ft.). The ride is actuated by a hydraulic system. The passengers will enter the gondola on the floor and then the KING KONG will start to prop up and lift the gondola at the same time. When the figure stands upright he will start to shake the gondola slowly. After a while the gondola will be directly in front of the head of our KING KONG and our special effects starts with sound, mist and shining eyes.If you ask me, it seems a logical option, (even though I hate the idea of this ride) because it comes readily themed for Calypso Quay, has a relatively small footprint, and is suitable for younger thrill seekers.Advantages:Small footprintSomething for the younger visitorsUnique'Heavily' Themed, ready for Calypso QuayLooks the partAdds much needed atmosphereDisadvantages:Tragically low throughput - just 480 pph

I'm a bit lost for riddles at the moment so here's an easy one: How many months have 28 days?

I have to say, this hotel looks to be a promising investment for Thorpe, even though it may prove extremely costly, and therefore postpone any new rides to be added in the near future, think of the long-term positives; the park will be making massive profits and so eventually, we could see major developments to the park.
-
In all honesty, I agree with what A-Kid and James said on the previous page - if Stealth had T-Bars if would be infinitely better.
-
I agree, the last 3 times I've visited Thorpe I completely forgot where the Flying Fish was.

:PAnyhoo,Coc Fudge Cake
Mall Cop because comedy owns horror any day imo.Black Pepper or Tennis Balls?

Still wouldn't work. Spinners, as Mark said, offer a mediocre thrill and don't do anything for queueing times.
-
Well, the land infills would have to be left for about 2-3 years before they can have a Wooden Coaster built on them. Also, there is a very valid point in that the supports would be deemed far too dense for Thorpe, as you cannot see clearly through them, unlike B&M's and Intamin's slender supports, which are far less annoying to the bird-watchers and local council who are obsessed with ruining thrills at Thorpe. :(The dense supports restriction also rules out manufacturers like Premier Rides, because they're supports are all boxish...

Thorpe (with any hope) will never build a Wild Mouse or a Spinning coaster, becuase the throughput is absolutely terrible, Thorpe need coaster with 1000pph+ if they're going to be successful. As for the Wooden Coaster, I believe it's missed it's cue. The only place I could think of that it would suit in Thorpe is the Canada Creek infill, which is now occupied by SAW.And because of SAW, I doubt Thorpe would build another vertical lift/drop coaster, it would be almost impossible to market as something original for Thorpe.
-

People need to stop blaming Thorpe for this. SAW has the excuse that it is new, and S&S aren't the most reliable manufacturer in the world an Slammer, and it's a pretty complicated ride. Give Thorpe some slack OK? It's not they're fault and I'm pretty sure Thorpe do all they can fix their problems, but do remember that Thorpe can and do call in engineers to help them fix the rides. Sometimes the engineers aren't available, which means that rides stay closed for longer, which can't be helped.

Well, Maelstrom is uglier; less-themed/has less décor; has no atmospheric music; and the forces aren't as strong.

I play piano and I love composing my own music; it's tends to reflect my mood.
I've composed over 10 new 3 pages+ pieces so far.

When we were in Year 8, our school took us to Thorpe. They promised they'd take us again next year... pffft! They took us to Brean....I remember a school trip that we went on for GCSE Geography. Obviously my school had no money because we went to A council estate in Vauxhall area of London followed by a brand new riverside estate to compare Quality of Life. Love crappy school trips.
-
To help with the throughput. In my eyes, if Thorpe do indeed go ahead with installing another Detonator, they should make it exactly the same as the original. If the new one was taller, it would take away the force, and a lauched tower is just of boring waste of time and money.
