  1. If it ever does get a revamp, I doubt it will be a great enough revamp to completely change all of your opinions on the ride, Thorpe Park aren't going to waste that kind of money on improving a rapids ride, simply due to the target market. Chessington for example, would be far more inclined to spend the money to drastically improve a ride like that.

    That is a fair point, I currently love the Rapids, so it would make too much difference. I will complain last year that Chessington needed to spend some money on the park and they have and it looks great.

    Loving some of the ideas in this proposal..!
  3. Posted ImageAs you can see from my bad mock-up of the building, the exterior of the red wall marked with a Blue Arrow meets the exterior of the wall marked in Orange. But if the walls were fully built the Orange wall would be in that room and would look extremely weird.

  4. We went to the water park this weekend as it was raining on the Saturday, It is a very good water park for the UK.I do hope they improve it and expand over the coming years.What do you think of Cariba Creek?

  5. did you notice how the theming outside above the station is incorrect, because if you built the walls up, it wouldn't work against the exterior of the tower...! I'm trying to create a mock up from a picture I took on Saturday.
