Actually one thing I don't like is how near Stealth there is a guy doing a mooney with his thumb up, wouldn't have thought they'd like to encourage chavs.

I quite like it, Not a huge fan but I like the fact that there are people suited to each ride surrounding it. E.G. Ninja near Samurai, Monkey near Mr Monkey's Banana Boat etc

I am actually pleased about the colour change, and definitely agree it looks fantastic

^ Is plain awesome, and I wish I could remember them on Rattlesnake

Ooooh, all these spruce ups around the park are looking good

Ah yes, more than likely.Although it said to turn over for more details which obviously you can't do on the internet, but I sort of interpreted it as some sort of plan created for families, but yes I am sure it is just Guest Services now you've pointed it out

Has given me some awesome ideas for the challenge

Looking at the map, Wild Asia seems to have been extended quite a lot with the entrance to the area a lot closer to the South Car Park entrance than before as Beanoland.I also love how green and Jungle-y the area looks. One thing I'm not keen on however is the colours of the Jungle Bus... Don't fit in if I'm honest. But love everything else

Does anyone have any info about this "Adventure Service for families" ? I don't remember it from last year

^ I like a newly styled map as much as the next person but even so I really do like this map.I would still like to see actual ride logo's of some of the major rides though

Ah that map is great, particularly love how the distinct areas are back :(Also, new names for each entrance. "Explorer and Lodge"And that African Savannah experience looks great

Lol this page has given me a good few chuckles

Don't worry Keith, there's still like 3 weeks to go, she'll be fine

I think they are sort of showing it in reverse order, like what has happened to someone who's been on the ride, and then what happens on the ride etc. Whatever there doing it's pretty awesome

Dragons Fury isn't technically in Land of Dragons, well the station isn't at least

^ Same :PI find it absolutely hilarious when people around me talk about the rides and I know it's not true. For example someone told me the other day Rita is quicker than Stealth and they just wouldn't back down, I just sat there with a smug little grin :DPersonally I would say I'm more obsessed with Theme Parks in general to be honest although in particular Chessington and Alton. Whilst I am interested in Thorpe I prefer the other 2.

Personally I think it's more the snows fault, as the ride was built in Europe somewhere before being sent to England. Sadly snow is unavoidable... a few years ago I actually quite liked snow.

Hmmm on my next trip to Chessington I really need to actually go IN to the Land of The Dragons

If the ride wasn't planned to be moved/ removed within the next few years, I'd be a lot more bothered by this. Also had they not been building what looks like an unbelieveable coaster in the same year, I would also have been bothered. But yeah IMO this sponsorship deal will last just a few years...

Just saw one on E4, they are very spooky :s

Ah I love the one of Dragon's Fury. Where was that taken from? I assume one of the play area's in Land of The Dragons?

I personally love the ride.I think one of the reasons is because of it's size, for a flat ride it is huge. Also I think it's the fact that I doubt the majority of visitors have seen one before as if I am correct there are only 2 in the world.

It really does annoy me because Quantum was just incredible, it's still good just not anywhere near as good as it used to be.

I am also going next year, everytime I see pictures of this project I think it can't get better but then, it does...

You definately missed out on Nemesis, best ride in the UK :PBut yeah, where've you heard the queueing is "horrifying" ? If you can handle Thorpe's queues then at Alton you won't even feel like your queueing... :POblivion is awesome though
