    the beach really pulls the theme of the area together 

     

     

     

    I don't think it does though. For me it just draws out the area and complicates it further.

     

    So, Amity comprises a fishing village, a speedway and a beach (which has more of an Atlantis themed than an Amity one). That's an awful lot of sub-themes for one section of the park isn't it? 

     

    If they are going to keep the beach, surely the least they can do is make it fit in with the rest of Amity - because at the moment I'm getting more Neptune/Atlantis vibes.

    A last minute Chessington trip has been sprung upon me later this week. We will have to rush of at the end so we won't be able to stay the duration that the parks open. I've never been before so I want to make sure we get on things that we want to.

     

    I'm up for all rides at the park. So, which order do you recommend I ride the rides? Do I start with Dragons fury or Vampire?  Also, any other tips are much appreciated!

     

    Thanks.

    A grand opening plaza with fountains as Benin suggested would be a terrific alternative to the beach. 

     

    I think Thorpe need to remember one rule as they progress over time: put large rides on the perimeter of the park. Aesthetically, that would mean that upon entering the park and leaving the dome, your eyes would immediately be drawn to the horizon yet the centre of the park would look uncluttered and welcoming too.

    ^ Exactly. The Island behind The Swarm is clearly large and will therefore probably be the spot for Thorpe's next BIG investment. 

     

    Thorpe probably realise this and with therefore make sure that the investment fully utilises the piece of land as Thorpe do not have a large amount of space. 

     

    Following the use of the land behind The Swarm, (whenever that may be), every small pocket of space will be made the most of. 

     

    So, as this island is potentially the only big bit of land the park have left, I'm sure that the investment which uses it will be a very big one, and not a medium investment such as boomerangs.

    I sprayed my hair blue. Once. Last month. I went to Thorpe Park. It rained. It stained my forehead. And everywhere on my face really.

    I've learned from my mistakes. Don't pick a day to spray your hair when it rains.

     

    What's even worse is that you decided to vlog on the same day! :P

    The inside section of sw8 is tiny and on the updated plans was made smaller. I suspect that the inside will contain nothing but maintenance and the station. The under pass of the station seems to be purely for space constraint reasons.

    Yes but the rest of the track could easily feature a world's first element hat doesn't have to be indoors.  I was just saying that whatever the 'inside' element is on MT could hint the current capabilities of GCI and therefore hint the element on SW8 which makes it stand out (if there is one)!
