How would you like your pie Benin

Tell me abut it, wrong twice. Ouch

And it was all going so well...

We've got a lot of time-travellers on this forum.. Either that or people who won't open their minds just a little bit and are completely adverse to change. It might be really good with backwards rows. How can we know when we haven't ridden it yet.

The point is if they are willing to turn B&M inverter rows around, a ride which really doesn't need to change, then The Swarm which is a far more gentle ride is fair game for turned around rows. It puts more credibility to the backwards Swarm rumours.

Thanks to Towers Street who thank ACE. WE'RE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS PEOPLE.

It's a very beautiful looking ride. Quite typical of B&M then.

Oh good, we're at that point in the closed season where Top-Spins, Jump2's and Huss Breakdances are mentioned as potential flat rides. There is no way that Thorpe Park could sustain that type of investment. As is proving now, throwing rides at a park does not keep attracting guests. It's also backfired because people now expect these investments every year, such as mentioning Vengeance as moving to the park quite frequently. As an established park, rides like The Swarm and Saw: The Ride are things the park should be doing, things that are themed well and are appropriate. Storm Surge is not.

They've been doing this for a while. They opened Truckers, Carousel and Safari Skyway in 2008, Seastorm has opened a couple of times and Bubbleworks opened last year. It seems to be whatever rides are ready, nearest to the Zoo.

Definitly cheers me up on the way to work

The fish at Sea Life Brighton are getting corrected. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BA9tF1NCMAAHgZO.jpg all of this stuff.

I was thinking that. If no-one had decided to say Swarm was going backwards, we'd all be fully talking about No Way Out but instead the clues point towards The Swarm, almost deliberately when really the clues could be both attractions. Gives us something else to talk about I suppose.

Sorry Josh, my original post was going to be "Josh, you need to visit other parks" I then decided to do some explaining but didn't cut out the blunt bit But I think we are in agreement. It's the same at Towers with Towers Street now being ruined by all the upsellers. It should be the view you remember.

I say let them win their little war. I mean it is such a non issue in itself. Don't visit the park then. The world weeps.

Love it. Merlins marketing team have clearly learnt their lessons from Thirteen and are really being original with SW7.

I wouldn't normally be so blunt but what the hey. Go to more parks to see how entering a theme park should be. From the gravel car park, temporary mental fenced entrance area, bridge where you are bombarded by people trying to see you fastrack, refill capsules, photo passes, arcade game tickets and people trying to sell you a photo as you've just entered the place. It's no longer about that fantastic view of the rides. The bridge is perfect for a park that goes from one extreme to the other. The awful Storm Surge to a fantastic ride with The Swarm and now putting the bar as low as possible with the Crash Pad.

You can never beat that feeling when someones opinion matches your own. Parque Warner is awesome. Great rides, Great Atmosphere, Great Park.

I was expecting this personally:- That would be a great thing to go to the Cra$h P@d in.

Looks awful etc.

But Huntik is at Rainbow

Maybe Europa is getting Vengeance from London Dungeons...

What is your obsession with Vengeance Thorpe Park = ). It's a crummy ride at best which Thorpe can do much better then.

What would you like us to say about your post Will. What are you basing your thoughts on, where do you get the idea that the Runaway Train is saying buh bye and a major new ride is coming?

Universal truly going for the jugular then. Sometimes I wished I lived in Florida, you get the real benefit of all this rumours and investment. DIsney need to do something soon..

Your claws are clearly out this closed season Benin
