  1. Even with those links, I still don't believe these things unless I see it in a plan or something similar. I guess you could say this is something similar to Spin Doctor and the whole egg on head thing, where he said there would be a washing machine element on the smiler, as he knew due to links with Merlin. Look what happened.

  2. Though I would be very happy with a Mack launch coaster, I doubt they will get one, since they have stealth. No point in getting two same coaster styles. If anything, a Mack megacoaster will be a possibility.

  3. How are Maurer Shone doing these days? The last project I saw of them was the X-Train they made for  Romon World in China (I think). Their X-Cars are still popular I think, but could one of their SkyLoops possibly be Thorpe's next coaster. Well a sky loop in the style of Abismo (Parque de atracciones). Talking about X-Cars, how comfortable are those restraints? I have yet to go on one yet, so I don't know what it feels like.

  4. I have no knowledge in the way the ground works against concrete foundations, but could these trees possibly be removed due to their roots interfering with the foundations of certain rides? I am not sure what trees are being cut down so I don't know how close they are to a attraction.

  5. The boat ride is interesting. A lot of turns but it is in the dark, so you can't see many things and the drop is nice and refreshing as well, if the environment is a bit warm. The drop tower ride is fun and ends the day great from my opinion. Unexpected and more to it then what is expected.

  6. I visited the Dungeons on Saturday and I found the whole experience great . The theming work in it is excellent, especially near the start of the tour while you are queuing. The use of different smells does help a lot in the different sections we go into, though I do think they used a bit too much fog on our visit. Regardless of that the whole new Dungeons is great in many parts and a improvement from the old dungeons. Comparing this to the old Dungeons, the mirror maze was better than before as well as the boat ride. The Sweeney Todd section was fine as it is the same as the old version, except the ending. In this ending, I felt it came to a strange sudden end as it just suddenly seems as if Sweeney disappeared. Another thing that someone else posted, was that the top of the corridors were all exposed so you could see the electronics and the air vent. In some parts I must admit, it was a let down due to no theming being applied to the top. But in many other parts of the attraction, it didn't really matter, so I'm not going to say the Dungeons was bad because of that. A thing that I wasn't so happy about is that there were a lot of sexual puns and jokes in the dungeons. In one case a actor, jokingly, said a swear word in front of a group of children. This was one thing I feel needs to be notched down in regards to the sexual jokes and puns. Anyway before I forget, the drop tower was very nice. There is more to it as more entertaining things. Also the drop does come unexpected compared to the old one, which is very good and the way the drop tower rises and descends fast. All in all, comparing the old and new version of the Dungeons, I feel the new version is very good and very entertaining and keeps to what the old Dungeons did best.

  7. I am happy Thorpe have done something unexpected. It will be nice to have a area of the park to have fun and relax in and somewhere colourful, if the land is colourful. However, I can only say my final opinion when I see it via images or my own eyes.
