Same vibe

What the f*** is that logo?! It looks like it's the sign off a high street photocopying shop.

I hadn't seen anything about the Ranger statues being retained / washed or the Carousel being I'm storage, do you have sources or evidence for these?

I agree, this is essentially my main point. Nothing really happens.

I would recommend speaking to Thorpe Park directly. Perhaps try emailing or calling them.

There were no specific VIPs, I'm not calling out anyone. Basically I heard quite a few people on Thursday and Friday giving rave reviews, and then actually experiencing it was very different! My spoiler review is below: In short, I really just don't think a lot happens. The scenery is poor to non-existant and the acting is very repetitive and doesn't build up to anything. It just felt like nothing of any substance actually happened.

I agree, I feel lied to by those VIP reviews. I had a look on Thorpe Park's FB page and the general public are absolutely trashing the attraction.

I just went on it. I have no idea how anyone has given this a good review. It was so bad. I'll do a proper spoiler review later, but in short it felt like a lot of overacting whilst basically nothing happened. The new theming was bare at best. Terrible. I would love to know what people who enjoyed it saw in this attraction, but I am legitimately baffled as to how it could be considered by anyone to be anything above 'dire'.

They charge premium prices so I should only rightly expect a premium product.

*laughs in Hotel Charles Lindbergh*

They also show the absolutely massive gardens as absolutely tiny, I think it's just creative license.

There is a MAP group, but they don't have some unique insight into ride redevelopment.

An animatronic figure at a window with moving curtains sounds nice, but I think "Revolutionary" is probably a bit strong.

I'm sure I'll apologise if you do the same for your inaccurate predictions for Rocky Express and Forbidden Tomb. A stopped clock is right twice a day. You saw a rumour, believed it, then it turned out to be true. You didn't come up with it magically of the top of your head. You are not Nostradamus.

My cat went to cat heaven I.e. it died, much like Rocky Express. I restate, it is completely possible that the Emily Alton rumour is true. However, you aren't psychic or in the know because you saw and believed rumours which turned out to be true. We can all do that.

[Citation Needed] Is your confidence in this less than or more than your confidence in Rocky Express returning or Forbidden Tomb returning? It is entirely possible you are correct, but don't claim you're somehow a knowledge on this because you've simply followed other people's speculation.

Surely the obvious answer guys: bring back Rocky Express. It will solve all our problems. In all seriousness though, a high quality dark ride and proper decent water ride.

Maybe the skips are theming for Exodus.

Bonus points for taking a photograph with the No Photographs sign in it XD

John Wardley's response sounds like a stock response. "Everything you like will remain" probably doesn't literally mean EVERYTHING will remain. Let us not forget how many times everyone was told Loggers Leap would be "splashing back" but then they just demolished it instead.

Garbage. Absolutely garbage.

You believe that removing Slammer is 'unlikely', yet your equally made up and unfounded opinion that Rocky Express will be relocated is something you 'expect'. OK

Tell that to my neck and head.

I legitimately liked to do it 2-3 times per visit, more than the coasters. It was just fun ok, it wasn't the best log flume, but it was my favourite thing at Thorpe after Stealth. My controversial opinion: the Walking Dead The Ride is a great ride, and one of my current favourites at the park. I think it gets over-hated because the thene doesn't suit the family coaster track, but other than that I think they've pulled it off really well.

The Wicked Witches Haunt retheme/rebrand opened in 1994, but the original opened in the 1980s as Josh noted. They were not really that different. Regarding Geisterschloss as Europa Park, it's a similar ride type but not a clone. There's different scenes throughout.
