  1. It's a bit bumpy at the moment s a refurbishment would be nice. It's a classic so it will be very sad to see the Flume go. I do like the current theme as it's witty and quirky but it doesn't fit in with the rest of Mutiny Bay. A retheme and a refurbishment would be appropiate and some new water effects would be nice.
  2. Either that or they'll scrap it, it really is showing its age now so I doubt the Flume has long left unfortunately.
  3. Disliking a ride like Stealth because it has no inversions and because all it does is go up and down again is not really a good reason to dislike a coaster. For its size it is very good. Look at the larger versions; Kingda ka, Top Thrill Dragster those are only launched up a top hat and hurtle down again, although alot more intense but it is the same principle as Stealth only on a larger scale. It would have been great for Stealth to have been alot longer but for its size and length it still is a very good ride.Back on topic. So here's my Thorpe Park. 2011 I buy the park and run it as normal.2012: all plans for future rides are scrapped and park closes.2013 park is reopened as a public toilet. Ok serious now I decided to try something a little bit different.2013 a vekoma rolleskater is opened and a new pinfari rockin tug is opened. Colossus is removed and a toilet is built in its place. Nemesis Inferno has its trains taken off so that new trains can be added but due to budget reasons this doesn't happen and the ride becomes SBNO.2014 a new 2 star hotel is opened developed with a very small budget. guests say Its so awful it's like staying in a prison camp!We tell them to sod off and to stay at Chessington's hotel if they want luxury. 2015 Stealth is ripped down and is replaced by a Depth Charge clone and a couple of benches later in the year.2016: the park's finances are at an all time low, the only coaster we can only afford to buy a Pinfari Big Apple . The coaster opens later in the year and is billed a 'the ultimate thrill ride eperience'. This p*ssed everyone off but wow the amount of money made from the ride's opening is astonoshing. 2017: The park are sued £5 million by a very angry group of enthuiasts after the opening of the 'ultimate thrill ride experience'. That's all the money we have left so the following day the park is closed for ever and is sold to the council. But instead of reopening it as an attaction, it is reopened as a pulic toilet, a fitting end to 'The Nations low Thrills Capital' (this is my Thorpe Park we're talking about).
  4. Sorry for the double post.Only 3 days left until the largest winter in London event hits Hyde Park! A construction update has been posted to the official Facebook page.
  5. This is looking to be a great coaster so far .
  6. Suppose that is very good news for Alton Towers that they're getting a 4D cinema especially after they got rid of their old one, (glad that the RAF Museum is also getting one as thats a few minutes from my house) .
  7. This space needs to be used at some point. The size of the area can accommodate a small to medium sized flat, a Top Spin would be suitable but then again there' s Rameses Revenge down the road.
  8. Yes, Power Tower and Black Hole are returning along with many other rides from last year. Pirates Adventure (which is a mad house) is also returning, didn't try it out last year so I'll hopefully go on that this time. Zippos circus will also be returning.Here's the full lineup again EDIT: It appears that I was wrong about Euro coaster not returning, it's being constructed as we speak . It wasn't even mentioned in the lineup .
  9. Hmmmm, wouldn't say it would suck this year, there are only a few rides that aren't returning from last year and Carters Steam fair will be at Winter Wonderland this year. Power Tower will be returning which of course is great to hear. Really hoping that the coaster from 2008 will be back (we'll know once the map has been released as it will show another coaster).If you think aout it, there is a big lineup of rides/attractions this year.
  10. That won't be returning this year either . The Haunted House from 2008/09 will be back.
  11. The Euro Coaster won't be returning this year....yay such a boring ride lol. The Black Hole however will be returning. Have no idea why they chose to feature the Euro coaster on the website, it's not even returning this year.
  12. When I was alot younger (think I was 4), I wanted to be a bouncy castle attendant, very stupid idea? Yes .Since I'm doing a course in media at college and consider myself to be very creative, I would like to go into film and become a director/writer. However there is a course at Staffordshire uni that conbines media with theme parks, and guess which theme park the university runs the course with? Alton Towers! It's like God created my dream university course . This leaves me with two paths to follow, media/film industry or work in the theme park industry. However going into film first will help with coming up with original and highly creative idea and after gaining enough money and ideas, I could leave that industry and create my own park based on my films .

    I also recieved an email like that. My sig advertises my own website and I use it on a few forums so I find it rude that he asks me to do this. It's just as bad as another theme park asking Alton to advertise them on their own advertisement! If he wants to advertise his site he can create his own advertisement. There is no way of transferring £10 to my bank account anyway since I don't have a card yet.
  15. Oh right, but I was told that the actors were sitting in the Carousel trap? Obviously that person was wrong then.
  16. Went on SAW Alive for the first time yesterday, whilst it was a good horror maze, as a SAW themed attraction it just didn't deliver. First of all, there were no pig masks! Secondly the music wasn't very good and added a poor atmosphere. Thirdly some of the traps were left empty, for instance the carousel trap which was left empty but an actor just ran round it banging the cage. There was too much smoke in there so we couldn't make out the victim on the pendulum trap! Some actors even broke out of character. It was disappointing to say the least. Thorpe really need to take a look at Universal's Halloween Horror Nights SAW maze, they just knew how to perfect it. On the plus side, it did provide quite a few scares and it was fun. I will be returning for Fright Nights, hopefully there should be an improvement.
  17. Yes but sometimes doing that can be offensive. I don't think this argument needs to continue, I forgive you .
  18. Look I'm sorry if I came across as sounding rude but that was not my intentions, I was only standing up for myself. I do have learning problems and it is difficult to get good grades at school and I don't need him to make fun of my abilities. Every member who has recieved of their GCSE/A level results should be very proud and should not feel down because of posts like the one above.
  19. It was a typo I'm sure that everyone has made a typing error at least once on here so don't you dare choose to make fun of a post all because of a slight spelling mistake, I have seen quite a few on here and I have not seen anyone else take the mick. It isn't right to make other people feel bad because of the results that they got.
  20. Unfortunately I was forced by the schmuck head of the school's SEN department into doing three GCSEsA - Religious Studies (definitely was not expecting that, never thought that I was capable of getting an A)E - Resistant Materials E - Science Should get me into college though .
  21. GCSE results come out TOMORROW :o

    Well I've only been on one white knuckle rollercoaster from Vekoma (Infusion, Pleasure Beach) and thought that it was fantastic, but my word it was rough, thankfully it has padding on the restraints. Vekomas can however be smooth, but only rarely. would not like to see a Vekoma at thorpe though.Getting back on topic, just looked at those plans for the 2012 coaster. Looks like it will be a B&M judging by the track style shown in the plans.
