I agree with Josh here, I think people are jumping the gun here, I think we should just wait and see what the finished product will look like

I think the 'world class' dispute is a pointless argument. What one considers world class, another thinks otherwise. Everyone will inevitably have their own opinion on what is considered world class.

I noticed someone bring up Merlin Studios, what you need to remember is, Lionsgste would of had a much bigger say in how the ride looked than Merlin. It would of gone something like this.... 1. Thorpe Park gives an idea to Merlin Studios, 2. Merlin Studios works on the idea and brings out concept art, storylines etc etc, 3. Merlin Studios passes on ideas and concepts on to Lionsgate. 4. Lionsgate review the ideas and say either: Yes - But this is what we want to add/remove. No - This is what we want for you to get the IP contract. 5. Merlin studios and Lionsgate start a tug of war of ideas until both come to an understanding. Lionsgate will get the final word as it's their brand Thorpe would be taking advantage of.

Just so you know stealth diner has received further work and permanent signs are being installed yesterday through today, I think.

From what I understand its not an 'overnight' change and will take a year or two to finish the movement from the old brand to the new

Well it was lovely seeing most of you guys, I know it wasn't for long but as I'm sure you can understand I was dead!

I don't know if this is me being picky about the promotional art, but could they of at least got the track colour right?

On my way to the airport in 40 minutes or so ready to jump off the plane and see you guys for an hour am I just too keen?

2005 for me! 9 years ago :'(

I might sound like a complete idiot here does Alton really need a 3rd hotel?

Maybe not then

Care to elaborate?

I'm sure in a few years, they might 'renovate' & 'restore' the steps, although I'm not sure they are allowed to remove them and replace them?

I think he is trying to say that just because you may be elderly you may still want to ride any attraction no matter how thrilling going back to the point that the concession price is to accommodate both types of non-riders and riders as it's too hard to distinguish between the two. In my time at the park I have seen many elderly people ride Stealth. You just can't discriminate. If they want a cheap family outing to spent time with them, maybe THORPE isn't the place, as you would spend most of the day waiting for your family to queue ride and exit the rides. Unfortunately its a two way coin. Some do, some don't.

Not really, it's identical to how it looks in the plans...

I vaguely remember it's opening year at Thorpe, think I only went once that year though!

They have started.

I think you should change it to Thursday the 6th so I can go in

Don't forget organised chat this evening

I honestly thought the entire saw brand was at its end after SAW 7, I guess we will have to wait and see what happens, I can only hope thorpe use this to their advantage with addition to the ride and or maze. More hopeful to a ride refurb, they could do some marketing behind it. I dunno something along the lines of, 'jigsaw returned to his abandoned warehouse over closed season, what lies within' or something. It would be a nice little touch up to the ride.

Maybe the SAW brand isn't dead, supposedly Lionsgate are working on SAW 8?

This is smokin' like Inferno.

Looks like a pig stye though!

This. What about Blackpool?

And that's something we all know too well, it's not priority when it should, even things which are meant to look run need some TLC from time to time
