Judging by target audience them, only idiots and traveller teenagers should go to Thorpe.

Bler bler bler bler bler at like every unread topic I come onto this morning arguing over same thing. Booorrrinnnggg.

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?

Who said your wrong exactly? You can have that opinion but the idea of going somewhere and just riding rides all day is actually quite horrific... Do you not attempt to take in the atmosphere of a place, enjoy the themes, take a wonder.I don't know if you've been to Alton but the gardens there are spectactular and the truth is, without those wonderful gardens Alton Towers might not even exist. So yes you may like to stomp from ride to ride (which is tedious) but most people like to take a break in their day and actually explore their surroundings..

God, thats unbelievably closed minded. I'd recommend never going to Alton Towers (or any other theme park in the Uk or Europe) hun, your world may be rocked..

Currently playing Crash bandicoot 3 and Pokemon Gold/SilverI don't own a Wii, PS3 or Xbox 360 so I'm relying on older games. And none of them have guns in (unless you count Crash's applezooka) They don't make games like they used to

Hmm.. Actually feeling a bit less impressed with Krake now. KRAKE (and its short layoutNot that the project has no merit just with the layout being so incredibly short, a hell of a lot is now riding on the theming. And with Merlin it can either be outstanding (Wild Asia) or to basic (Saw/Th13teen).I'm hoping they pull out the stops on this.

Oh absolutely, he was very funny. And just like Fawlty Towers it was best the Admin team killed the humour while it was good, instead of descending into 'My family' levels of boredom and tediousness. Garry Williams will remain a legend for the rest of time.As for Hex, I'm going to stand by my guns here... I think it truely was the best ride Tussauds ever added to any of its parks. Even now, and even knowing that the ride itself isn't in the towers, I can never tell when you leave the towers and enter a metal box. The transitioin is seemless and the attraction itself is fantastic.It's only negative is in the batching area where the speech starts, there's no warning so people either talk through it or ignore it.

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...

You're a bit loopy aren't you?

Hey everyone, go to Chessington! WHERE YOU CAN USE YOUR MERLIN ANNUAL PASS TO PARK!

Might be the 13 year old kids drinking fosters, 9 o clock in the morning on the Alton Towers bus that done it for me...

you know, I don't actually think that will be necessary
