Nothing worse than enthusiasts playing the "I know all the things, but as I can't tell anyone in a public forum, I'm just gonna leave unsubtle hints towards the fact that I know something that you don't" game... If Thorpe were building something, we'd have seen planning permission by now... Given they needed it for Angry Birds Land last year, which consisted mostly of stuff that wouldn't affect the outside sight lines, Thorpe don't have the luxury that Towers does without having to submit everything clearly...

Mentioned on TST that the Facebook link is wrong amongst other things like the logo... Also, the official page mentioned this copy and will be getting it taken down in the near future... Some people have too much time on their hands clearly...

A lot of that artwork has also been mooted for the Spanish park as well... Just an observation really, since that plan looked fab anyway... Sleepy Hollow attraction <3 EDIT: Turns out it's a fake vid, as you were...

It's not going to be inverted, but likely to include inversions (Gravity Group did Hades 360)... Just a bit of vague over-exaggeration to the public who won't have the foggiest about the US parks with RMCs... I doubt even Tayto realise how much UK excitement is being generated for this... Everyone will be over there at some point... Just goes to show what a smart investment can provide to a park...

They're both bad, but Time Voyagers was much, MUCH worse... Although still none of the crap additions at Thorpe can beat the crapness of Dung Heap at Towers...

Official Facebook has a generated pic of the layout... Cheeky trip to Dublin is on the cards then...

They're getting something new! Ian from Coasterforce If it's anything like Lost Temple then it's gonna be fabbbb <3

Of course there will be demand for it, we have people who will buy the Ultimate Fastrack packages even though the queues are 20 minutes long max... The scheme prints money... But, will it leave a bad taste in the mouth of other guests? More than likely... If Thorpe also sell the Fastrack then I'd expect a wave of negativity to wash over them, what with their history of over-selling... The fact that Seastorm has a Fastrack queue sickens me anyway, similarly for Truckers and Jumbos...

That's 200ft of Gerstlauer magic right there...

The new negative Ricky worries me...

There a link to this? Horrid idea if this comes to pass...

They built a fence to cover the construction site, that's an improvement...

Six Flags were a shambles a few years back, hence selling half their portfolio off... They have improved apparently since then though, but their parks vary wildly based on location and employment range...

OR WILL IT? PR from the park that was posted on Coasterforce:

It's a strange obsession that a park desperately needs something, ANYTHING new year upon year in order to get guests to visit... Plenty of parks across the world don't add something every year and are able to survive... Presumably because they have a returning market of people often larger than a market of new visitors...

It's a kids ride, aimed at the lowest side of that demographic as well... It describes the ride to parents perfectly, so they know what to expect, cannot blame them for that at all really...

Coaster not covered in snow, 5/10 would not view again...

It certainly wasn't busy last year on the 16th (the Sunday)...

This makes me want to go to Winter Efteling more than on the cred...

Didn't Thorpe have a weekend last year? Or did I imagine this?

Europa Park do some serious work every year on 'non-essential' stuff (the Rapids getting an enclosed lift hill comes to mind)... Sure most of the other German parks are similar (though probably not to the same degree of Europa's work)... It's also something not exclusive to rides, as seen by Towers Street looking very much left behind in the 90s... Should there be an incentive for the parks to make sure presentation to top notch though? It sounds like a poor excuse to put it towards fans not gushing at the bit because Forbidden Kingdom has received new tarps...

Refurbs are few and far between though... Should we be complimenting parks for doing something they should already be doing? If Fury gets repainted, then it's good, but I'm not going to congratulate the park on something that they should be looking to do anyway, and only doing it because there's another reason behind it (a la Oblivion)...

Good riddance...
