In the words of Alan Partridge - lovely stuff! (That tarmac doesn't look complete to me, personally)
-
The photo updates from around the park from TowersStreet make for depressing viewing - fences, fences and more fences
-
The abandoned/destroyed theme is a tried and tested Merlin favourite and means that any neglect in the future just adds to theming Props though for the entrance to the area - that gate and metal logo does look awesome.
-
Agreed - on the one visit to Thorpe last year, the IAC music in the Nemesis queue (well, that 20 second bit of it repeated ad nauseum) did annoy me. The Nemesis launch used to be so awesome too.

Thanks Josh for the clarification Old Town sort of equates to "rides that don't really tie in together whatsoever"
-
I just spotted this
-
Similarly - I cannot see Colossus going anywhere anytime soon... that thing as iconic as Stealth for Thorpe Park in my opinion. I don't enjoy riding the thing one bit mind you, but it's still iconic
-
Any Stealth love by Thorpe is fine by me.
-
So SAW is part of Old Town officially?
-
I do think the Old Town name is a bit naff, just reminds makes me think of lots of kids rides (Toy Town) That aside, assume the new name would hint at something new there in the future as they drop the Canada tie ins. Always thought that noodle shop was a bit odd being in Canada Creek anyway. "This attraction is under development" is suitably vague as to whether it's being scrapped entirely or being modified.

I don't think it would have been too much to ask to retarmac the surrounding area instead of those criss-cross gulleys where they've laid new cables etc underground. Other than that though - looking good
-
I actually quite like what they've done... it looks a heck of a lot better than the dilapidated scaffolding monstrosity that was there in the first place. It may not ideal, but it's a step in the right direction - they could've just left it as it was for another year... I like the abandoned raceway theme with the signs, at least it vaguely makes sense and then fits in. I still dislike Rita as a ride but that's not relevant
-
It's almost like they pull these costs out of thin Air. (pun intended)
-
Just been confirmed - 2016 means no Hex, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Driving School, NST - as well as The Flume & Ripsaw. NST has been a bit of a nightmare for the park hasn't it?
-
I had no intention of going whatsoever anyway as I don't currently and never have had an Annual Pass but I am OUTRAGED by these closed rides on a preview day.

Derren Brown's Ministry of Sound Meet 23rd July 2016

Do they use the bar in Fins for serving drinks on MOS events? That would explain the Stowford if so! -
MAYBE WE ARE ALL DERREN BROWN

Jart - you are needed to tell all about what goes on inside DBGT.

Derren Brown's Ministry of Sound Meet 23rd July 2016
MattyMoo replied to AJ 's topic in TPM 2016 Meets
Haha I can pretend I'm 18 again... I swear Smirnoff Ices aren't as strong as they used to be though, had a couple last year on a stag do and they tasted of nothing Looking forward to this, am guessing I'll have to drink (responsibly) on spirits and maybe Stowford Press if that's on offer. Will also be an exciting chance for my yellow Citroen DS3 to brave the Thorpe gravel-pit car park -

Count me in. They have a selection of craft ales and ciders available at MoS nights, right? -
AT released a preview of some of the VR on Galactica at midday today no one is evidently that bothered as it hasn't been posted on here https://www.facebook.com/altontowersresort/videos/10153815534356201/

There is nothing whatsover wrong with this selection, awesome pop song and video. Going to see Vanessa Carlton in a few weeks actually in London (Yep, she's still going!) EDIT to also say - Robyn - Dancing On My Own - choooon <3 Seen Robyn a couple of times live too, once in a v. small music venue on Tottenham Court Road that's now been demolished to make way for CrossRail :\
