There is space for greenery...We're not talking about gardens in the sense of Towers... Because that would never suit Thorpe... HOWEVER... More trees could be planted in queuelines, and STRATEGIC areas around the park... Called them "Rest Zones" or whatever, just give us some nice spaces in which to sit-down and watch rides or wait for people if that's what we want to do...It's too sparsely spread around the park in some cases... It's mainly just for shade purposes that people are probably suggesting this... Comparing having shaded areas to a garden centre was pretty daft... Because that's not what people were suggesting... Quite simple really when we stop and think about it all...Making Sunken Garden a bit more prominent wouldn't go amiss either... Just make sure no-one's doing anything like the map suggests they should...The handbags are well and truly out in the coaster communities right now aren't they?

Wild Asia probably wasn't the first Merlin (or indeed, Tussauds) project brought to life from an external company... Just because there's a different project leader doesn't automatically mean that an external company won't be used if it's easier...Candy's track record is... mixed... Thirteen's theming is however very good for the most part... Saw is meh... So it's very in the middle of how well this will go... Hard to tell without any actual finished ride theming in place... Think Heide has the odd pic of unfinished stuff on Facebook but it's not much to talk about until installed...Wait and see I think... We don't know what the budget is, there is a difference price range, different style surrounding this, different country... Waaaaay too many factors to base how well it will be themed using our parks as examples...

^Same here Mark, though I'm hoping it will be more akin to Oblivion than SheiKra/Griffon...Just hope they do theme it well... Heide doesn't have that great a history of ride themes, though the recent Mayan area is of good standard... Hopefully it'll be like that...

I really really really don't like that... I don't care if it's gonna be visually appealing, it looks bloody pointless and will just kill the pacing of the launch...However Yellow Floorless of Win!

Have some rep...That negative however also leads to the other two pre-shows unfortunately... So many inconsiderate people in the cinema...

Again though, I'd like to see them attempt to create a ride like something that didn't exist yet...Don't support him, he is an idiot...

Tbh, I'd be impressed if Thorpe were trying to recreate Hex as NWO was built 4 years before hand...Put this guy's stuff to bed please...

UP <3

I WANNA RIDE THE COLA COASTER!

I don't think we have to worry about him anymore...Now, the rotating free-fall experience of Slammer... Should it have 'the' in front of it or not?

Proof? Were you there watching them do it?

GATES! REOPEN THE GATES! GATES!

CURRENT CONNECTOR!

That bloody Peter and Jack Dann eh?

^Since you're having trouble, I'll post it here for you so people don't have to click... You're welcome...Also... Why move the elephants? They're happy where they are and could easily be rethemed (ok, maybe new designs would be required for MY plans), should Toytown actually get redone... And rapids... I'm sick to death of them being linked to Chessie... The only ones I'd want are River Quest ones... If not that, then sod them... Ours are CRAP!

You definitely deserve rep for that

What follows is the Best Tower Ride Ever...Mystery Castle at Phantasialand has:- An amazing fully theme queueline WITH actors (Sorry Saw, you're not the first)- An amazing throughput- An amazing amount of airtime- An amazing evil German voice yelling MYSTERY CASTLE at you- An amazing soundtrackAnd that's it... It's sheer bliss and full of WANT...

I could tell them a few things they could do with their money ready for Chessie...For those who want to guess, it's two words, starting with "SPEND" and ending it "IT"...If they want ideas of what to spend it on they should also come to me... I'm free of charge for spending the love for Chessie...

Don't be silly, I don't have rides as friends...Apart from Fury and Vampire obviously... They truly understand me...

You're a bit loopy aren't you?

You remind me of a friend... Mainly through the yelling at the ride part...

^Well, one like the one at Tibididido won't happen, since Chessie lacks the hill as seen in the image above...And why in 2015 to replace Vamp?

There's something inside me telling me that maybe a typo occurred... And that we'll see that bit of text removed before long...

Bless those Stokies...I was too engrossed in Pokemon to notice Mark... You should've followed my lead
