  1. That's great that there will be a bit more theming to look at than what we saw with the live coverage, because it will be a bit more extra stuff to look at
  2. Saturday for me! Can't wait - Hope there's fire...
  3. Absoloutley looks fantastic, can't wait for next weekend!This week is gonna go sooooo slowly though!!!
  4. Thanks very much for the review, I'm really excited for next saturday now!One week to go for me...Also it would be good if they kept the "Evil vicar" in the station, but he could give a quick talk while people were taking there seats so that it would not lenghten the queueing time.
  5. Looking forward to a review later
  6. What is it like when you go over the top bit?
  7. http://twitter.com/#!/THORPEPARK/status/177819841330290688/photo/1Btw I think this is the fire engine that was used for Blows it up, hopefully it will be a permanent piece of theming, it looks fantastic! Also does anyone know what that massive tower is in the distance behind it?
  8. Nooooooooooooo thats the worst thing that could happen now!They need theme music that builds up the tension, not this!!!
  9. Has anyone noticed that the floor of the station has got an aged effect now that it didn't have on the earlier picture of the station.BEFORE:http://www.thorpepar.../the-swarm.aspx (Sorry this link just takes you to the Swarm page so to find picture click "Stuff to see" and scroll down.)AFTER:http://www.facebook....&type=1
  10. That's exactly what I was thinking, surley they wouldn't upload it saying "NOW OPEN" knowingly?I think they might have uploaded the wrong video...
  11. I hope the ride has proper theme music WITHOUT WORDS as that would work best I think.I know I have posted this about 3 weeks ago but I REALLY think that this could work for it, but I am not sure if it is official or not. http://youtu.be/uhpzDgUgn-4 #I think the different sections show the destruction theme well, what with it being slow then suddenly going fast and I think that the GP would like it. However this would probably only work if they played it in sections only, otherwise it might get boring and annoying if they didn't add anything else to it.
  12. During the final parts of that POV if you look closely you can see a few glimpses of the queueline, sadly it looks like it will just be the usual winding path. But at least with this you will have an awesome B&M Train flying around above you
  13. I think that the POV would have looked better if the camera was slightly further back so that you saw some of the theming like the top of the plane wing. The first drop looks so good in the front seat though, actually can't wait!
  14. http://youtu.be/vyGvrkjVjkYThorpe have released their first POV, looks amazing!

    2 For 1?

    Does anyone know if there are any half price ones, as I have a merlin pass but quite often go with a friend who doesn't have one so a 2 4 1 is not really very helpful for just one person.
  16. I would like to see the strobes and mirrors back in the fountain room

    Your Thorpe Park

    2012: The Swarm to open as plannedMassive opening ceremony with fireworks! (Also a new temporary FN maze in the old time voyagers building (abandoned haunted house)). This maze is to be one year only and it is a test for a huge new horror experience coming in 2014.2013: General clean up year for the park. But a BIG clean up! SBNO rides either hidden or removed, theming fixed and Tidal wave's fire returned! It could have a new slogan or something (Brave the elements - fire and water or something like that)Also park audio refurb.2014: Time voyagers building rethemed and a new year round horror maze introduced instead. - This will feature various rooms, each one with a different horror scene (all made up, no scenes from films.) - Maybe as the building is big they could make it like a smaller version of the london dungeons with a small but thrilling high capacity ride to finish.2015: Major new B&M hyper coaster, almost as tall as Stealth. This could be themed around a tropical island where a tour to find new species' of animals has gone majorly wrong and the animals are not as harmless as they thought.2016: Clean up of lost city flats and add a new topspin. - The topspin is an indoor ride and is themed around the findings of the "Lost city", which obviously ties in with the area theme. ALSO another new fright nights maze and major refurbishment of Asylum (LOTS OF ANAMATRONICS) and improvement of the actor's face paint.2017: Also X NO WAY OUT MAJOR refurbishment (same name.) - The new theme of the ride (similar to old but different) is that the building is a massive super computer. Thequeueline could feature signs, tv screens and actors telling you that "The building is not safe due to a virus, get out now!" and things like that. - The queueline is cut off just before the baggage point and the people are let in so that the train has shortlyarrived when they enter the station. - The station is quite dark, just enough to see. As the airgates open a bright white light switches on suddenly and a computerised voice says "You are the victim of the virus. Prepare to lose your life." or something of the sort. Once everyone is seated the station is made pitch black and a few quick sound effects are played near different people each time before the train rolls out of the station. - While the chainlift is being ascended (chainlift is now boxed in) there are very loud computer sounds and a louder voice of someone who is supposedly "trapped inside the computer". This links with the ride's name. - The actual ride area is no longer pitch black. Instead of this, the whole ride building is filled with constantly flashing strobe lighting, lasers and other effects. Each of the stops will also be boxed in and inside it will be pitch black with air blasts. - The new flashing lights currently featured on one of the stops will be moved and used to light up the exit area in a new way. New park entrance, nice and modern and a new queueing system. (New ticket building with an indoor queue and about 20 people working there.) ALSO every guest has to pass through the airport scanners and security check on the way into the park.2018: STORM SURGE minor refurbishment.Also a new small portable coaster added. This would only last for one season (on a lease from owner) and then at the end of the year some big hype for a massive new coaster to replace it. ALSO at Fright nights they could hire a waltzer or something (despite appearance they are actually quite fun) to make the extra price worthwhile for people who don't like getting scared. Another thing for fright nights is to put major effort in to making the mazes "Scarier than ever."2019: HUGE new wooden roller coaster that does ONE loop and has an indoor section. Also a clean up of the park and areas needing it. Rumba rapids to recieve a massive overhaul. - Wooden coaster to not have a sinister theme. - Rumba rapids overhaul to include a refurb of the "cave" area. Instead of a purple lit waterfall it will be lit with flashing lights, and the flashing gets faster as the raft approaches.2020: The park could go for a new, stylish and modern look with replacement of the "fat heads" and other signs around the park.Long term (over this whole time period from 2012 - 2020):- Fireworks event to be held every year- New big rides to always have an opening ceremony with a few fireworks when the first train is sent round- Park to be cleaned up every few years- They should build one or two family rides that can also be enjoyed by thrillseekers as not everyone wants huge thrill rides all day long!
  18. I think that they should play chart music at the entrance, but once you have gone through the entrance it should be the theme on the bridge. If they could use the Saw theme on Saw the ride then they should, and also I think that Stealth should have it's own track (keep amity radio in queueline, but once you get to the steps maybe they could have some kind of tension music from there until you get on the ride.)
  19. Why, are there going to be actors and things like there were for SAW?
  20. I quite like it and I think it is catchy - although maybe a few sound effects added into it and a few more music chords and it would be better
  21. http://youtu.be/tKpZ_ZgSPIg Just found this, I don't think it's the real one but I think it is very good and would suit the ride well!!!
  22. I think that something along the lines of "there has been an alien attack and there could be another one" might work.They could have fake newspaper artices on some of the queueline fences saying things like "10 people have recently gone missing" as well.
  23. Yeah, the drop looks amazing!I think that the right hand side will be better!
  24. THE SWARM PREVIEW DAY!A preview of the Swarm (for AP holders and friends) where you get a tour then get to ride it. This could be before the main season and as it gets dark early it could be open an hour into darkness.
