Thorpe park was

Banned because I'm at Thorpe park now whilst I'm writing this ;)

Thorpe love their one train ops

Going to Thorpe tommorow so will be seeing RNR, which I hope works and is successful. If it's anything like the one hey did on the coasters in summer, it could work quite well. Does anyone know how signing up for this system works when you're using it?

Never saw the Bubble works before the duck invasion (first visited 2006) but must say the area and ride as a whole definitely looks the best it has since all my visits there. That being said, hiding some of the old Imperial Leather signs with tipex is little disappointing (especially at a park like Chessngton). Really hope they continue area upgrade/refreshes next year as it's done the park wonders so far this year.

Still, I think it's better than having an old/dated IP or (Merlin) black colours though.

In regards to the 'rumoured proposed attraction' surely it wouldn't remove all those things after all we would be losing 2 rides, an eatery, 2 entertainment complexes , shop (which was only refitted this year) and a food outlet plus 2 mazes would have to be replaced/relocated. If it turns out to be an IP based experience (Saw, Angrybirds etc.) I will be very disappointed as it would mean not just would it be an uncreative (money making) and dead IP replacing a bug chunk of one of the original parts but nothing compared to the likes of Hex. I'm not going to judge anything until I hear an official statement or see planning forms by the park but if we see this happening, they have better make it a good addition especially if all these things could be removed. Hope there's ways of having space for mazes too.

Fungles would definitely be a much better place for a dark ride as it's more concealed, could blend in better plus no one would see the back of it (the shed) unless you use monks walk and the Blair witch is there. Using the arena for a dark ride wouldn't be as good as Fungles site because 1/ the park has lost potential space to hold yearly events (e.g Sun scream & Easter) 2/ they will have to relocate one of their scare mazes elsewhere (which for somewhere like Thorpe won't be easiest) 3/ a big metal building in the middle of the park will be a bit of an eyesore, obstruct park views and in general not be great for the layout. Despite being 10 years (almost) since the last flat installment, Thorpe doesn't need another for now but is in much need of some dark rides/immersive experiences. Towers has Hex, Duel, Sub_terra (among others) and Chessington has Tomb, Bubbleworks, Hocus and Zufari. Thorpe's only immersive experiences so far are tidal wave, Swarm and Angrybirds 4D and even that is really pushing the boat out.

I hope I didn't cause the ride to die, considering I went on it the day before it went down. Surely if this keeps happening to this ride where it dies at the end of the season, it doesn't have long left before it's removed.

Chessington needs a Mack launch coaster, it would suit the park perfectly. Destroy Peking and toadies and put it there. Falls, Tomb, Skyway and Bubbles need lots of refurbishment.

To a world

I would like to think that. Ringing back the farm would be a nice move from the park, but I feel the idea is a bit underwater now

Something more amazing (pun intended)

Whilst I wouldn't say it's the worst coaster in the uk in anytime (Wicksteed's coaster, Turbo & Hero are possibly nominees) it's definitely not a great ride when you compare it to the likes of Nemy, Blivvy, Air, Smiler and even 13 which all in comparison offer a more exciting, immersive and entertaining experience whilst Rita is merely just there and coming off after seeing the ride in motion round the whole area does leave a disappointing taste seeing it looks a lot better off ride (except that stupid scaffolding near the launch which is horrible). Possibly the worst coaster at towers, Stealth is better IMO.

Go to the park website and find fright nights page and you should find a box mentioning Premium/VIP pass tickets (which are free) which will then lead you to this page. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/fright-nights-tickets-for-premium-annual-pass-holders-tickets-12288297629?nomo=1

Never been to Disneyland, Any of them, takes the Mickey I guess

A slightly surprising move by the park IMO, but none the less looks an impressive ride which is great to see considering they got Helix this year.

I've got an idea, they should go rebuild the Viking boats and make them go all the way to (Merlin) county hall and back' ;)

Topic revival My Bloody Banning-tine

Well yeah, but it's just a new show at Chessington, to replace Madagascar next year.
