THAT DOES IT, I'm not visiting! If I wanted to see severe delays I would ride the District line all day. least they've perfected the train theme though.

Looks absolutely stunning! Judging by how good existing ones are so far (which I'm riding soon), this is going to be fab and most likely Blackpool's best coaster by a countrymile.

OH BOY A BASHING THREAD! Anyways, The Long Answer repainted rides, theming and areas apparently does not bring in any guests for a profit company. Unless it's part of a re-theme or directly next door a major new ride, it will be ignored unless it breaches safety regulations (sadly often resulting in just removal instead of replacement). The short answer They don't really care about presentation. Just profit. There are parks out there though which do take some care for presentation though. Notably Paultons, Blackpool & to a lesser extent Drayton. (awaits criticism from a fanboy).

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG! Its finally happening. It's finally happening! Lots of exciting chat pages. If it's a GCI I'm excited.

I'd like to hitchhike a ride to Plopsaland please (Disney music will or won't be provided).

Banned because this is a war!

Backseat Banner!

Perhaps, but I will be in heaven, theme park heaven. Europa Park I'm talking about here

I have a gut feeling this could have a 31st May opening somehow. I think by Wednesday though we will either now or be close to knowing the [long overwaiting] opening date. I wouldn't make the opening if it was on the bank holiday next week anyway, as I will be in a better place. [A major non uk park]

I'm in, count me in.

With some exceptions, I actually prefer Merlin's food to DLP's. Shocker I know! Most of merlin stuff is pub/spoons quality TBH. Smokehouse though

Yes, because it's instantly comparable to Nemesis and Swarm. Or Vampire for that matter.

I think there is a perfect explanation to why the park have posted a picture of Stealth prior to the opening of the Ghost Train. It's one of their main rides; and a popular good one there as well.

If the prices are astronomical, then I guess the space theme is even more coherent. Have heard the quality is sort of Spoons on steroids which isn't bad really.

For your second album you could have, Thunder (Looper) in my heart Everytime I stall I do it for you (Smiler song) Waterfall (unplugged) flume Time to do the Congo (River Rapids) Living on a share (blade song) When She Crushed me (submission) I've got a golden fidget (C&TCF) I like skiving in my car (driving school) You are the air beneath my wings Heave Ho (Disney parody)

Finally going here next month to check out the park and get the Creds. If they'd built something major and exciting a while back that wasn't Thomas Land I might've visited sooner as the park does seem to lack a signature ride ATM. Fingers crossed for 2018.

Slight reduction in throughput? Panic everyone, tear up your tickets, shred your passes. it's the end of the world!

Not the KFC one, that's just fine. The setting in there probably makes it the best themed eatery at Thorpe. Fins & Inferno pizza have good theming but not on that scale. I reckon if Thorpe get a roller coaster restaurant it will be in a location where current food outlets are not positioned on. Chances are are hopefully if the Towers one is successful they will open one at another park and it would suit Thorpe well IMO.

The second one, because whilst both are amazing, DCA just looks fab especially with its original DLR. Disneyland Forever or World Of Colour?

They are comparatively low on throughout too. 12 riders per cycle = around 200 pph, so Yes perfect for the park. Sky Roller could be a better option.

I think we know in a perfect world, Samurai would be replaced by a newer, greater, reliable more sophisticated model. One can dream on.

Get your bets in people! How long before it dies again!

I can't wait until the rides open, then we can get the hype out of the way. This is like waiting for a tube train with severe delays.

Yes, I think there are big reasons for why this ride is not open yet. Something is not ready.
