Wait... So you're basing your ENTIRE opinion on a place from ONE visit that occured a few years ago?Stop being an ejit...

Erm, you mis-understood, I meant the NEW water starter...Mark has already made my point... (Though WHY Piplup?)

I sense I could cause some arguements from this photo...

What a strange name Oh yeah, water starter sucks...

When in May?When in August?What were the weather conditions?I could go on, but I can't really be bothered... No park should be judged on a singular visit...

2? Seriously? Topple Towers are ok rides... But I cannot really see Thorpe getting one... There are plenty of better rides out there that I would much rather have... Especially as the Topple Towers suffer reliability issues...

Woo... Thanks to the four people who voted etc...I have way too much time on my hands to think of these ideas...

So true...It's a shame that the game is only really brilliant with the hard work of the people who purchased it instead of the people who got paid to produce the game...And to make this fit into the topic even more, a little something I've started working on recently...

^Just goes to show what years of basic neglect from your parent company does to you really...

I think the main thing about the track/supports is that in my opinion it's one of the rides that can kinda get away with not looking brilliantly shiny and new...However, it does need some new bits added here in and there... Firstly having some black gothic looking queue fencing instead of the cheap purple affair we have now... Then it needs a bloody facade on the building, just a cheap 2/3mm painted piece of wood would be a great addition if painted in such a way to make it look like a castle/church/whatever the aim is...Inside, basically they just need to theme the air-gates (like the old days), and maybe add a few cobwebs/generic spooky things around the station...The brake-run could do with some stuff to look at that suited the theme (I.e. NOT the random masks from previous years)...And finally, bring back the original entrance... Please... It's so much better...

What they look like? The dragon roar and chimes were on during opening day but not when I went t'other weekend...

^Do you mean like random laughing, screaming and wolf howling?If so, it's been around before...

The colouring is so very 90s...

Well yeah, I wouldn't particularly want to risk my limbs on a ride...

I have a summer job at the London Eye... The grasp of Merlin is too strong for me to escape However, I will be spending a month doing nothing between finishing uni and starting it... Sad times...

Well it's a hung parliament...Woo I guess... Though there'll be a few areas vying for a re-vote by the sounds of it because people all turned up at 10 to vote

As an aside, can I ask if I'm the only immature one who cannot take the term "Well-Hung Parliament" seriously?

We've been losing the battle since we went in... It's the modern day Vietnam...

Did we need to go to war though? We didn't need to get involved at all...Bush said "Jump" to Blair and he asked "How high?"...That's the essential run-down of it...Brown is an idiot and Cameron is a slime-ball... I don't particularly want either of them in office... I see some of Blair in Cameron to a degree as well... Urgh...

But did they not claim a few years ago that the current economy was 'recession proof'?I can imagine that a lot of families of the Iraq/Afghan troops will also have something to say about how Labour have run the country...

Wait... What?Recession goes where?

Or a Ferris Wheel that can use it's capacity and continuous loading... Basically a mini-London Eye, 99% of the guests compare Peeking to it anyways...Then they can also remove the crappy game things and put in a small flat ride...

OMG!

Not at all...Since Legoland attracts families and has the whole brand thing... Hence more people will go there because they know what they're getting more instantly than with Thorpe (and Chessie/Alton)... It's why Disney is the highest lot because of how well known the brand name is...Why do some people have a fixation with putting Thorpe in capitals? It's as bad as people typing Chessie in full and putting 'And Zoo' at the end...

An entire day?I would throw up if it were Pizza Hut... It hasn't seemed to agree with me since 2006 unfortunately.,..McDonalds... Meh... Would get sickly after a while as well...
