Tbh, I don't think this new park's getting talked about enough... It looks fab... Some of those buildings look amazing...For further ride details, I reccomend going to the official site and looking at the promo... It has a complete map... -
Of course, you're assuming that Towers or Chessie won't get any rides in the same timeframe, hence you're wrong there...And please, how is Thorpe getting a hotel going to improve it? Actually, the fact you can't even believe leads me to wonder what the hell is going on with today's education... A part of me inside dies when I see spelling like yours in posts...It'll take a lot more than a few flats and coasters for Thorpe to become anywhere near number 1... They need to get the atmosphere back (or indeed, there) into the park first before such things can be considered...Towers will still probably be the best on the overall package... It is now, and it probs still will be in 5 years... But of course, the parks aren't exactly true competitors are they? It's only the enthusiasts who seem to make it like there's some form of war going on between them all...

Sigh... Not at all...All Paultons has for the older kids is Edge and Cobra (Go-Karts as well, but they're pay extra, so discounted), everything else is for kids... A lot more akin to Legoland then really...
-
YOU see it as a barrier, I see it as a challenge...That is the most likely difference in thought processes going on...I'm not supporting it, just thinking that it's something a bit pathetic to whinge about...
-
Griffins is the best ride in the park Keith, bar none...
-
Yes, because the all-mighty chain prevents ALL from it's area...
-
^A roller-coaster is kind of a no brainer really...But it needs to be reliable...And on a scale of Fury...Sounds like a job for a Gerstlauer Launched coaster...
-
Berries is a pointless ride... Wouldn't waste 5 minutes on it let alone 40...Should've ridden Griffins more...
-
They had ONE B&M...The other rides were a Vekoma Mine Train, a Roller Soaker, a Sally dark ride, that Premier Ferris Wheel coaster thing and that was literally about it...The park failed in months because of it's rubbishness and it's location... As well as poor planning and the like...

No, it looks worse off because it got bugger all major attractions for 10 years... And had hardly any improvements or work done to it over the years...
-
It's all well and good putting things fans want in but if it's not up to a decent standard then why should people not complain?I mean really, did anyone think when the zone got announced Thorpe would be using old stuff for Miss Hippo? I highly doubt it... If a park isn't gonna put a high amount of effort into something, should we go "oh well at least they tried...", or go "well actually it wasn't that good, here's a list of improvements they should do for next year in order to improve the zone and hence the total event..."No-one's exactly ripping the s*** out of the park are they?
-
You evidently haven't been enough to Chessie to be shocked by 50 minute queues on Jumbos and Trucks when the other queues are like that...Hell, I remember once when Trucks' queue decided to go across the pathway to the soldier... That was a terrifying moment...
-
Least throwing up on NWO sounds a lot better than say, throwing up on Chessie's Carousel...
-
Actually, whilst the ride side of the Studios are poor, I do adore the shows... A small saving grace there... Cinemagique is AWESOME...
-
-
Whilst I relatively love the Magic Kingdom park, it could do with a few extra attractions here and there (not much, but 2/3 more would be awesome, namely a flume, rapids and EMV)...The Studios on the other hand, are TERRIBLE, awful layout, very few quality rides, very low capacity park, and even with Tower, RnR and Crush (cannot state on TSP), being good rides, it doesn't hide that the park needs more high throughput quality throughout...By far, the worst Disney park ever...On the subject on a third park, if they made it into DisneySEA, all would be well...
-
That a direct quote then? Seriously, just stop... I can't even be arsed to produce decent arguements anymore cos you just seem so narrow-minded on the matter that it seems that these groups aren't doing a good thing... Which they ARE!!!
-
Please tell me you don't ACTUALLY believe this...
-
Isn't Windsor posh?But you've cemented my point, as most people from Staines wouldn't last long in Croydon... Thanks for that...

This. Is an interesting point to make considering a few posts before Holly has chosen to become a lesbian because of men.Therefore, it's not one or the other. It's probably a mixture of both, there's too many variables within the human body to really 100% confirm what makes anyone how they are.And Josh, where DO you actually live? Because you obviously live in a rather accepting area and hence maybe don't have a wider view of other places. I can only imagine what would happen to openly gay people in the middle of Croydon and indeed in my old college there where people got stabbed and raped anyway.Saying that friends are accepting is completely different to EVERYONE accepting. Maybe the friends are in the minority in your area rather than the majority?I highly doubt that the societies are doing anything bar allowing people who aren't confident about it (for whatever reason) to mix about with others and discuss it at a rather difficult time of life (important exams, off to uni, etc), and this is a good thing about giving confidence to people who may get abuse throughout the world as then they can just turn around and walk it off... It will be several years until people are accepting about the gay community because of the views that will be passed down the generations of homophobia and racism and whatever else, it's not something that can be solved overnight and pride (as annoying that it closes down half of London for) and small societies are certainly a start.
-
Maybe, and just maybe as I'm going out on a limb here there's so many groups because there's still a hell load of prejudice against gays even in our modern world?
-
Then why mention it here? Why not go to the Thorpe section and find the suggestions topic and post..."I think Thorpe should get a Huss TopSpin like Rameses and Ripsaw as it would suit the Saw branding"Saves on really pointless posts don't it if you think about it...
-
What a stupid idea... Go away...Thorpe already took and destroyed one of Chessie's old adult rides, let's not let it happen again...It would be so much cheaper (and better) to actually get a new one (a la Talocan) then move Rammie as well...Argh... Some people...
