What do you mean by this? As in the box of supports surrounding the start and end of the ride? Probably would cost a lot of money to do all that and it wouldn't really be that meaningful due to the launching... Aye that's correct, however the odds on our Flumes getting touched up like this are unlikely, mainly because Merlin...

I think someone from Thorpe's PR team might be getting a talking to, given that they've promoted Tidal Wave in their latest post...

In the forgotten bog-land? I agree it probs would have been awful to queue in though, imagine being face to crotch to some of Thorpe's guests? Ewwwwww... Should've stolen TTD's spectator grandstand though for sit down based times...

Can get a plane from any London based airport straight to Gothenburg... Then public transport it to the park in the middle of the city... Job's a good'un, much easier access than Towers... Probably takes about the same time too (assuming plane leaves at the same time as train from Euston to Stoke)... EDIT - As some pics to entice people to make the effort, go abroad, experience other parks, etc

I assume it's going to follow the vinyl wall style of the Legoland Hotels? If so, I'm not gonna be a fan...

Bring back the DJ I say! Shows how little effort was put into the parks during those Tussauds days that 8 years later the park find the opportuinity to add a shop and some badly needed indoor seating...

Located in Germany and home to Over-rated Ge-Force, this park (now owned by Studio 100/Plopsa) is getting a Vampire themed coaster from Premier Rides as well as retheming their Log Flume area to Wickie the Viking... Lots of pics ahoy! Sources are Holiday Park Facebook/Blog and Coasterfriends.de

Meanwhile, Europa host the Miss Germany final again...

The 90s The hell happened to Thorpe is the best question...

Hour at the maximum... Depends how much you like sharks...

If there's one positive thing Merlin have done is realising that good quality park merch will be purchased by guests... So this can only be a decent call...

Tis completed it seems:

There have been rumours about a vertical drop a la Thirteen... So I doubt it'll be 'unique'...

There's still time for Saw Alive to be taken away by the flooding though right?

Not always if you time it well... It's decent enough, Aquarium's are pretty samey in the long run, but the multiple levels and the giant tanks are pretty fab... With a MAP it's worth it... Better than bloody Tussauds that's for certain...

Like Princess and the Frog? #pedant Also, 'were' #doublepedant That being said, the proper hand drawn style of the 90s is beautiful, similar comparison can be old Simpsons and new Simpsons, where the old style animation was a lot more inventive and motion based, where as the modern one just looks dull (suits the show now tbh)...

A Gravity Group Woodie not good enough for you? Shame they never got that B&M Invert they did some concept for a while ago... Problem is it is the opposite side of the country... If you don't care for it, don't bother (especially as expensive country is expensive)...

Tunnels are not unique selling points unfortunately... Neither is replacing quality theming, so...

First coaster - Vampire First Inverting coaster - Nemesis Some top quality right there...

Most cinema chains are... But I'm busy, and more than happy to wait till Friday to go and see it...

I got bored of it in 5 minutes... Typical internet craze, in a week or two, the next frustrating game will come out and people will be all over that like a rash... Besides, Flappy Bird has even less substance than Angry Birds, how could you transfer it into a theme park environment?

That drop is literally out the station, prior to any form of launch... Using the terrain to the advantage

So the drop out of the station has been built...

Considering the OUTRAGE Thorpe had about the barrel of syringe pens, they had to heighten the limit to prevent kids from being 'scarred' by an adult rated film... It was always a weird theme to have on what is a family thrill ride...

Like you don't go to Thorpe/Towers/Chessie/etc if you're not gonna ride anything... Is a big selling point that non-riders at Blackpool can get in for £6? Especially given you can play the same style of games on South Pier or in the town of tack itself? If you pay £48 on the gate not to ride anything, then you deserve to lose money...
