I was sort of expecting there to be a bigger ending there..Glad there wasn't though - great to see Thorpe doing videos for the sake of keeping interest up. Also interesting to see the use of another female, keeping the idea of who / what Lez Cougan actually is rather mysterious..

The day when I leave this forum...

^ Haven't Thorpe had to take that video off their Youtube account due to copyright infringement or some rubbish like that? :PAlso - one of the best videos ever to come from Thorpe!

Getting your hopes up for something big, then those hopes getting destroyed. Worst feeling in the world.

I wouldn't be surprised if they've taken the photo at a specific angle to make it seem a lot tighter than it is. :PThough, it is rather tight, and Josh approves of this..

Completely hate this new look. The old one was simple to use and worked a charm. At the moment, this is just terrible.I won't judge fully till it's finished, but at the moment, all I can say is eurgh.

For the first go, I don't really care. I'm indifferent; I'll go with the flow and see where that takes me. Though, if it ends up being a choice when in the queue, I'll probably go for the one with the longer wait, to have more chance to take in the atmosphere of the station.. :PI'm more debating at the moment as to whether I want to go inside or outside for my first ride. Outside is likely to give better interaction, but inside is more likely to be smoother. Decisions decision...

I think that specific ride audio is something Thorpe has done successfully with most of their rides (my only real grumble being the Saw duo), so I can't see Thorpe making a mistake with Swarm.I love the idea of some sort of eerie choir singing some sort of chant in the station, even if it's just for dispatch. I'm more interested as to how the general island will sound; so many routes Thorpe could go down, and I'm interested which one they'll take..

The fencing plan seems to show partial accessibility to the Rickety Jet; about two-thirds of the way.
