Thing is Cringle a lot of parks are having rides open, regardless of there "size". Southend has rides open all through the Winter, Alton is having a steam fair + oblivion, Cwoa is have 3 extra rides, Paultons whole park is open over Christmas, Blackpool is opening a few attractions over half term as well. So to say that Thorpe is doing something completely differnet is really far out there. Its only because of a blind fanbase that believes Thorpe are doing them a favour when really the whole Tussauds group is playing catch up.I'm avoiding it even if it will be an enthusiast ****-fest because there is nothing redeeming in going. Poor Rage a new ride which will knock Stealth for six is being completely ignored, its a shame that the rose tinted Thorpe glasses have come on here.
