  1. They actually don't look tacky in person! Zodiac seriously needs to leave, it's either always breaking down or open and not even getting to vertical. I'm sure if they wanted to, they could go to Zamperla and make a custom shell that isn't a plane.

    Any ideas for certain areas?

    The Swarm - grenade shapes? Could be called 'grenade thrower'. Sounds weird and where would they have the space to put it in the Swarm area?

    I sound so dumb.

  2. It needs to go back to having individual area identities.. further than what they have already.

     

    But yes the new branding.. as much as its fresh and clean.. is very bland and basic. Needs to be built upon.

    I agree

    The brand looks pretty lifeless; they need something fun!

  3. *Thread ressurection*

    Well I still see the fatheads everywhere. Except for major signs, everythiing has the old font on then. Even the staff have the old style on their shirts for God's sake. They have done a really half-arsed job of the rebranding plus I do not like the family theme. My friend goes with her three year old sister and she manages to have fun.

  4. An Air Race to replace Zodiac.

    Just looked them up - cool looking ride, but also looks a little tacky. Planes also don't fit in with the theme of Aztec city. You could have it in Calypso Quay and paint the planes to look like explorer planes.

    My brother loves Zodiac though- he would literally scream if he saw it replaced.

  5. Thorpe should use their partnership with Lionsgate as an advantage. The Hunger Games is a massive film, so why not make a ride/ roller coaster themed on that? It may bring out fans from the states, and maybe get actors from the films (Jennifer Laurence in TP!!) to go there. It sounds a bit far fetched, but it would be good. Also if there were to be that theme, you could have a flying coaster, so you can 'fly' like a mockingjay. 

    And people might kill me for this, but if they want something cheaper, what about a simulator which is great for families (Lower height restriction etc)? I don't like them, but it is an option they might take. I also do not like their new family theme, as Chessie and Legoland are just down the road!

  6. I find Colossus really bumpy, but not as bumpy as SAW. And also I find the edges of my vision go fuzzy and I feel like blacking out when I go upside down. In fact that happens whenever I go upside down on any coaster. Is that bad? I don't want to be told that I cant go on coasters because I wuv them.

  7. It's closure had nothing to do with the bad press. It was decided in the early summer last year that it was to be Asylum's last year, it's just coincidental that it looks like it's not returning because of the PR it caused. The closure is in no way linked to all the complaints it got.

     

    Oh erm.. *goes very red* sorry. :blush:

  8. I dont see why they have to close a maze down and possibly lose money just because one person has created a hoo-haa saying that it is putting a bad name on those with mental illnesses. No-one will come out of the maze and go " I now think that all people that have mental health issues are complete and utter maniacs." I certainly wouldn't. In the end, it is a maze made for people who want a scare and I suppose that many other horror mazes around the world will have a similar theme.

  9. This is weird that no one has talked about this coz it is a seriousl cool bit of merch.

    I HAVE A THORPE PARK 3D PAPERWEIGHT!

    It is so cool, as it has 3D models of all the big 5 exept the swarm, which I thought was strange. It was reduced to £6 and the font on the box was the 2010-2013 font. So maybe it was an old bit of merch and they are selling the last few. But heck they are awesome.

    Also the epic grenade mugs at the swarm have slightly different logos from the mug I have. It is a plain logo, rather than one which has all the white haze around it. Does not look as good. :mellow:

    Sorry for rabbiting in but Yay, first post! :lol:
