  1. 2013 Changes

    in The Past

    Posted

    Sorry to be annoying and a party pooper here but isnt this topic getting a little bit side tracked now and possibly should even be archived as it is 80% confirmed there is no new ride for Thorpe in 2013 unless Vengance does make the highly rumoured move.

    That is plenty of time for them to install it as it is not very big considering Dungeons installed it whilst they were still open to the public. The dungeons is still open and will close shortly before the move to the new site so Janurary seems most likely. As to the move to Thorpe it will be most likely that if it was to go anywhere it would be where Time Voyagers was because they wont need planning permission as they only needed it for the building so it would be easy to add

  14. Ride Accidents

    As there is nothing reported on here I know its not really a ride accident as such but someone was still injured.

    Basically an Imagineer was working on Crush's Coaster at Disneyland Paris and got his hand stuck in some machinery and it severed his hand it is not in this link but I saw it on another site just cant find it now (silly memory). The ride was closed for about a week or 2 whilst it was investigated by the park and Police.

    I dont know wether or not this has been said before but just to let you know the Dungeons official opening date is 1/3/13. Vengence is 110% not going to the new dungeons and the Thorpe Park rumour is a strong one which is floating around. I also cant see it going to a park due to the poor throughput and reliability but saying that they already have Slammer.

    Just to give a more knowledgable reply to this thread The Dungeons will be opening in Janurary 2013 and work has already started with waterproofing already taken place and it will be a whole new dungeons with nothing moving over its a complete new attraction. As it stands Vengance will not be at the new site but seeing as it was closed for the last 2 months perhaps this is a good idea. The Dungeons will see a massive increase in visitors and in regards to opening times I can't see it being open until 10pm as only the eye is at the moment and sealife closes at 7ish latest. As for the move yes it was a joint decision as Merlin wanted to help national rail and realised that the move would be a bigger money maker for them being close to the eye and sealife. If I manage to see or hear anything else which is able to be told I shall do.

  18. Which UK Theme Park is the best for Halloween events?

    in General Discussion

    In my opinion I would say themeing wise it has to be Alton just cos most of the rides don't need anything added to make them halloweeny where as Thorpe ha the best horror mazes but this being because of their target audience having said this the business on park most of the time let's it down. Chessington is good but they need something extra going back a few years the scooby doo event was good and they do add theming to rides all be it not much but it helps alot. In general I think it completely depends on what you want and on a yearly basis it changes with Thorpe rumouring a new attraction this year for Halloween it might just take it into the lead over Alton where as last year Alton was in front

  19. Rant

    in The Real World

    OMG probably my first rant ever. But I get so annoyed when people ask me at work where is the Eye its like you see that big thing there thats it. It seriously cant be that hard you have just bought a ticket and you don't know where it is the worrying thing is that the question is serious as well.Also people that mock you when your doing your job just because we have to say Mind Your Step about 1,300 times a day does not mean you can then say "MIND THE GAP" like we work on the tube in your annoying and winey American accent.And on this note why do we even have to work wish it would just be possible to get paid for lying in bed or going out with friends life would be so much better lol.

    Ellie as much as I am bursting at the seams to respond to your rant I am going to resist the temptation because you will get the biggest rant ever and I dont want to aim it at you.
