  1. For anyone not going on Thursday or Friday, AT fansite TowersNerd are covering the Annual pass event with their live feature.Have a read of this http://towersnerd.com/news/item.php?id=144
  2. True true :PThe theme is quite good but not really ride music, most definately not queue music!!I'm hoping the queue music will be kinda quiet atmospheric music, with the occasional burst of the official theme; now THAT would be really good.
  3. SEMI-RELIABLE SPOILER Not exactly concrete, just thought you might want to know
  4. Off topic, AT released their new map in The Sun for the first time on Wednesday, 2 weeks before opening; Anyone seen any signs of Thorpe's?
  5. However, on the floorplan of the ground floor, you can see how close the main queue corridor actually gets to the track, which they would have kept to. Therefore I can't see them having much space to play with on the ground floor. upstairs, however is another matter.
  6. Just something I threw together with a few floor plans/concepts, more for my own understanding than anything else Quite interesting how there doesn't seem to be much indoor queue at all The initial ground floor corridor is a 2-people wide, enclosed space; so it'll be interesting to see what they've come up with.http://dc104.2shared.com/download/5016727/...111310-6eae7b64Original plans, courtesy Thorpe Park Guide:http://www.thorpeparkguide.com/2009/photos/plan4.jpghttp://www.thorpeparkguide.com/2009/photos/plan12.jpg
  7. Going by other pictures, it looks like the screen is positioned on the block breaks before the lift; it is on the wrong side of the building to be that near to the queue line.correct me if I'm wrong :PI'm too slow to reply!
  8. I think the shop looks good although it could do with some plants/theming directly around it to ease it into the area; as it looks a bit like its just fallen from the sky onto the ground :)And the tunnel thing, I completely understand that something is required to shelter people from possible falling stuff, but the idea of a 'tunnel' I think really brings down the scale of the area. Its like theres this whole island, and one enclosed tunnel thing to get on and off of it .
  9. Sheepie I think the point is to make it look like a porta kabin, just very worn and rustic http://thorpeparkdata.webs.com/projectdylan/kioskplans.htmOf course it would ridiculous left blue haha :]
  10. Any chance of a link to that site? Havent seen any pics of theming on the shop They're putting walls around the shop? Surely that defeats the whole point of using porta-kabins for the shop?
  11. Are they leaving the shop blue? And is the car just going to be parked there?Wont last very long if it is
  12. Nice pictures Freddy!!I'm only on no. 28 and there's evidence of mist coming from the car exit of the building and the footers for the windmill ;)Oh and the test-seat has been installed :]But seriously the cars climb the lift tower so slow
  13. Just checked, and there's been confirmation that there's going to be a sixth SAW movie up for release at some point during Fright Nights this year!Huge marketing potential there right? And which way do the blades spin?
  14. Anyone know, is the indoor section actually divided by walls and themed, or just a big dark empty space, a la X:/nwo?Also that Colossus path looks like it could open by mid season!? Once it's flattened paving doesn't take long at all surely?Building looks a lot better close up & from ground level than it does in all the 'across-lake' photos, much less box like
  15. I still don't understand why they'd bother getting married there when it isn't finished, especially if they didn't even ride it they were probably only allowed on site as a publicity stunt; and yes that photo is of the block brakes before the lift strange people..haha :/
  16. I quite like the idea of an alarm, even if it is just a testing thing Also, going by that ^^ it looks like theres quite a bit of landscaping to do around the run itself?Correct me if I'm wrong
  17. Just wondering, the pic update today; Is that the station approach or exchange track?Looking good though!
  18. First one sounds a bit bland, but the second one would work really well on the inside; along with the original theme around the outside of the station
  19. Listen to this? http://www.imeem.com/people/hHt5rGf/music/...e_saww_aac_mp3/
