I also think Thunder Looper only had a temporary planning application or soemthing. Or is that just a rumour mixed with the truth?

^And El Loco would be a good addition in Miss Hippo's place. However, would two coasters with 100 degree plus drops be a good idea in a park the size of TP? A member of this forum who is annoyed by reading off topic posts all the time.

Britney's song is so rude, yet very clever!Took me a while to fogure it out, but eventually...

I don't think Thorpe know exactly what they have planned, just a very good idea.Anyway, either get back onto the topic of Miss Hippo's Fungle Safari or continue the conversation somewhere else.

Dark ride all the way for the replacement. Something similar to Wicked Witches Haunt! (But no laser guns).As for this new roller coaster in two years time, I thought Thorpe were operating on a coaster every 3 years since Inferno. I might be wrong, but it sounds realistic.

Seems like the best place to put this.I was wondering if it was possible to have a topic showing all posts deleted by admins and why they have been deleted. I only ask because it can be a little annoying knowing your post has been deleted but not knowing why. I know posts are deleted for a reason, but sometimes it is nice to know the reason why.It's just that this has happened a few time to me and I'd just like to know why they get deleted.Thanks

Although it is a good idea, something I think that has been previously suggested, it wouldn't fit in with the theme. If it was to be a Wing Rider, the theme would be expected to be a racer theme, and thus turnign Ug Land into a racing themed land. However, AT management didn't like the idea and that theme was rejected, which I think will probably rule out the Wing Rider.

You mean they are two different things!Anyway, does this mean the fully themed cars have got the video camera installed already?

Mr Hicks, the long straight part represents the lift hill, the helix part and dead-end are at the end of the ride.

Full plans are now avaliable HEREThe layout was correct from the ECC. Great theming on paper.Still doesn't show the cars or the exact type of coaster it will be, so that is where the world's first is likely to come in.

Unfortunately, I have plans on opening day. Mainly taking my girlfriend to the park for their birthday, so I won't tag along with you lot. Sorry.

I think that it isn't a good idea having the entire area not suitable for under whatever. For families, it would mean having to drop their children off too far from them, and that could cause distress for parent and child - espically with how the world is today.Also, having all that theming would be costly - espically with actors. I think the queue will have plenty of theming - and too much theming would be bad.(P.S. The ride WILL be suitable for at least 12 and overs - or else they wouldn't be able to enter the Ride it First competition.)

Why are people complaining about 'strictness' on this forum?Look, what rules are there on forum posts? Well...Don't be rude.Don't post anything which is false.Stay on topic.How hard is that?!Everyone can express their views, but if they are breaking one of the above rules, then they are bound to be deleted. I think the only reason why people feel this forum is strict is because they are making the admins be strict. They are acting stupid and breaking the rules. If you obey the rules, then admins can be more lenient.

If you look HERE then you will realise Thorpe are saying it will be in CC for ease for them to locate. It is pointless creating a whole new area for one attraction and one shop that can't expand (as it is on a island) and it is pointless changing CC into a theme which is too strong to keep going for many rides. It is also pointless shoe-horning it in with CC to make it 'fit in'.Therefore, the ride will be in CC, but with no actual relevance to CC, but to just make it easier for the staff to loacte. Got it?

I remember reading somewhere, although I can't find where, that the head-chopper will be stationary. I doubt H&S would have a fit if it were to move - what is the difference, it wouldn't be any closer. I think it is best if they don't spin, as it creates more tension and a bit more fear.The actual speed hasn't been confirmed yet - just to let everyone know.

I know this is resurrecting an old topic, but according to the park's website HERE, Annual Passes price will be put uo to £150 for a single person on 1st January 2009. Until then, you can but an Annual Pass gift voucher for £122.34 and redeem it when you next go to an Merlin attarction.2009 ticket prices have yet to be released, but I now expect a rise to about £35.

I know I went completly over the top. I was in a bad mood and took it out on the wrong person - as per usual.

I'm glad me and friend aren't the only ones. How odd. Maybe the police have found Jigsaw and shut him down...

I hate all that small text on the TV. You hardly get 5 seconds to read a paragraph when you are trying to focus on what they are selling. It is fine on posers, papers, etc. but on the TV it is just plain annoying.I just think it is stupid when I see that 'Under £500, only £499.99' thing. Yeah, it is there to lure stupid people into thinking they are getting a good deal, but it is just ultra annoying.I now also am, you could say, temporarily banned from Tesco Addlestone for "being over-agressive with a member of staff". I complained after buying a 6 pack of crisps that had the wrong flavours in them - and were out of date. I said it was mis-representation, bunch of rubbish, are you trying to kill me (over emphasise or what!?) etc. I got slightly angry with the member of the staff - well he was a 19 year old odd chav who was stupid and not very helpful - and started raising my voice. The manager said that I was being over-aggresive to him and blaming him when he had done nothing wrong, so he said I would get a refund for the crisps and suggested I shouldn't return to the store until after the new year. So I see that as a temporary ban. [/rant]

According to Towers Almanac, it could have a castle theme, with a run-down tower looking like the actual towers themselves.So, by the looks of this layout (if it is real) it is unlikely it will be manufactured by B&M. I think Premier is the most likely manufacturer.How is this a world first though? (We were told this would be a world first).

If that turns out to be true, I will kill myself before I get on the ride. I hate that song, even if I was to distort it.I hope for some heavy drum beats with TV static and a distorted Jigsaw voice playing. Then of course the TVs making a story.(Also, welcome crushdlemon. I'm not being mean when I say this, but an admin will probably tell you soon anyway. Can you try and use capital letters and punctuation all the time and not use text talk. It makes it harder for me - as well as others - to read. Thanks)

The cars are going to be a rusty brown colour (hides the real rust ) with some bood splats. There car floor will be very bloody. The restriants are thought to be covered in blood along with rust colours. I have even heard that there will be Jigsaw's face on the back of each car with a number above it.

Santa Claus. Father Christmas is an imposter.iPod or MP4 player?

Now, I think it might be a good idea skipping out this month (if that does happen). It builds a little bit more suspense and it makes it talked about.Also, I think it would be nice if they did still show a video (or videos) after the ride opened. Perhpas it could show some of the riders videos and still have Jigsaw making annocements, that would be quite unique.

Neptune's Kingdom is good the way it is. It is small and family based. It shouldn't be extended an it should stay how it is.If there's going to be an area with family rides that are 'bigger' and a family roller coaster, make a new themed area on the islands.
