You guys know I'm a great ride designer right? One of my best designs ive done is an indoor coaster called SLENDER - The Ride. It's a great way of really bringing the slenderman to life, but to see a Slender themed horror maze at Thorpe, THAT would be AMAZING!
-
Another fact about forcing guests through the shop: One of these days, they're gonna be taking down the debris (that are used for the walls) and start bringing in staff with whips instead! Think that'll get em through the shop? No. That'll only make SAW unpopular...VERY unpopular!
-
I think the Rangers need a second chance. I mean, we still have Mr Monkey's Banana Ride and Chief Ranger's Carousel, so why not keep the theme and let the Rangers return just for the families? I'd like to see Fungle Safari also make a return if this happens
-
What's next? The whole ride + the building explodes?
-
Surely pretty much everyone has noticed Storm Surge is NOT SPINNING like it's SUPPOSED to! Have those rubber patches worn off completely or something?
-
WOAH! What the heck happened to the reserves list??? Looks like theres room for everyone!
-
They'd BETTER sort it out in time for this weekend. Some world's first this is if there's CONSTANTLY gonna be a problem!
-
DAMN YOU IMPERIAL LEATHER!
-
Put me down for reserves, Peaj
-
I think that's there because when it was at Cyprus Gardens, there was a gazebo at the top of the lift hill. Dunno why Thorpe hadnt taken it down yet!
-
What Storm Surge needs is a new paint job to suit the Amity Cove theme
-
They seriously need to restore those station announcements they had back in 2007, as I'm now getting sick of the chart music wrecking the theme! eg. "Alright dudes! Keep those fins inside the fish, and hold on tight! Cos YOU'RE ready...the FISH is ready and HERE...WE...GOOOOOO!"
-
It's shocking to see that ALL of Chessington's original rides, especially those from the 90's, have been revamped in some way!: 1. Dragon River being renamed to Dragon Falls 2. 5th Dimension, then Terror Tomb, then renamed to Forbidden Tomb, then Tomb Blaster 3. Vampire's new trains 4. Bubbleworks retheme 5. Beanoland to Wild Asia (well, Beanoland did kinda suck balls anyway) 6. ToyTown to Africa/Flying Jumbos replaced with Madagascar LIVE 7. Runaway Train cave/Dragon Falls rock face retheme
-
He has a BOOK???
-
They seriously need to add more traps to the actual indoor part of the ride (eg. Perhaps on the brake run there could be a guy on the left wearing the reverse bear trap!)
-
Dammit Stretchy, you've missed The Disorientator!
-
I highly doubt Spinball would move to Thorpe at all... Anyway...back to the Fish! If it was to be moved to Calypso Quay, it could possibly recieve a slight retheme: a Hornet swarm for instance? Or just a slightly modified version of the Fish to make it blend in with it's jungle surroundings!
-
Both me and Cornflakes agree with this, but the best themeing on the ride is the STATION. Everywhere else is either pants (like the ride section on the inside with so much wasted space) or just not themed very well. The station has the actual trap blueprints from the films littering the walls, the different traps with manequinn parts in them and various tools on the wall to really give the illusion of you being in Jigsaw's workshop!
-
How much did it cost Tussauds to relocate the Fish again? (I'm pretty sure it was 4 million or something)
-
Well, it IS just the brake run and the drop base that are kinda rough, but as for the rest of the ride (including the inside section), it is pretty smooth, but with a few rattles in places
-
Flying Fish really is in a bad location because of THE SWARM, not as if I'm hating on THE SWARM or anything because I'm not, but Flying Fish is beginning to lose it's whole surfer dude theme! You can basically hear THE SWARM's iconic metallic cry from the Fish, so why not relocate the Fish to (say) the former site of Miss Hippo's Fungle Safari, as Thorpe have done NOTHING with that site since it was closed! If this happened, Flying Fish would totally blend in with the rest of Calypso Quay!
-
To be fair, if Spinball IS relocated or rethemed, it will be disappointing to see the iconic Sonic the Hedgehog themeing being scrapped, including the announcements!: "WOAH! All right! LET'S GET SPINNING! WOO HOO!" (ring sound) Also, if Spinball was relocated to Thorpe, that'll basicaly mean Adventure Land will be no more!
-
You know that massive jolt you get coming off the brake run that gives you TONS of airtime? Isnt it meant to be designed to be like that to give some sort of surprise to those in the back row?
-
Yes
-
TowersTimes are just one bag of cheap baloney anyway. But if Spinball WAS relocated to Thorpe, it's obvious it's going to be on the site next to THE SWARM, so Spinball will have to be rethemed to fit in with the apocalyptic devastation. Besides, I'd rather travel for an hour to Chessie to ride Dragon's Fury and travel for 4 hours to ride Spinball at AT. It's far wiser for Spinball to just stay where it is really...
