I wonder what Wardley would say knowing that all his hard work was just thrown away like that. Wish I had known when they were chucking it I would of been lurking with intent! Bubbleworks sucks now. I always wanted one of the posters that were on the walls as you climbed the stairs inside the main queue line, wonder if anyone had those....... Maybe Wardley could be coaxed back and they could have Burps son take over the factory and make a younger version of him. I doubt it though.

I remember visiting SegaWorld when it first opened, before it went free entry and pay as you play. You paid £12 and that got you on all the rides and all the machines were set to free play. I enjoyed it, especially as on one floor they had a huge Daytona USA multicabinet set up which had a staff member with a microphone giving the players a running commentary! I didn't get a go though as the queue was pretty large. Spent most of the time on Virtua Cop and Virtua Striker. The Pepsi Max Drop ride was pretty good there as well.

I like the fact that Thorpe wants to keep this ride despite the problems that it suffers. As others as said its one of those rides that sorts out the more extreme riders from the more general lower level ones. Not only that given the space it takes up I can't see a better ride being put there in its place to be honest. If this was lost it would leave Canada Creek looking even more desolate than it does already. I feel they really need to put some new stuff there, leaving the old CCR station just empty seems such a waste as well.

Just out of interest following on from the bring back an old ride idea mentioned earlier, would they be able to bring back the original bubbleworks? I mean do they have all the old ride parts/characters sitting in situ somewhere in the park? I would of thought so going by the Abdab dummies that were dumped on Vampire. If they did brink back Prof Burp though they would have to get rid of his tombstone in Transylvania though!

I'm pretty sure that one of the old Abdab models is currently residing in the woods in the Vampire queue line, draped in a black robe. Definitely looks like him.
