According to members, not enough people pay the gate price so they won't be making that much more money..

Mind blowing 3D optical effects? All I need is something to do with flying and I've got my Alton Towers Bingo complete.

Everyone knows the perfect plate is the Eurasian plate, followed closely by the North American and Pacific Plate.

Wasn't being mean. I gave no view or interpretation of his posts and neither did I twist the truth. Maybe, instead of jumping the gun everytime you disagree with something, you take a step back and think about things a bit more. At the moment you are coming across very strangely.

I'm genuinely asking.

What you actually said:- You couldn't make this stuff up, lets face it.

We need a photo of the plate please. Are we talking saucer size or are we just talking just slightly smaller then a dinner plate. Just enjoy it Ryan, this complaint will deliver us 3/4 weeks of discussion. Thorpe couldn't buy that kind of publicity.

Guess we can just ignore your rants now if even you don't believe in what you're saying. 85 rides is a hell of a lot though. I'd have lost interest after the fifth go I think.

Reminds me of a Huss topple tower.

Especially on Flying Fish. Very poor work Thorpe.

Do they not now then?! Was common practice during my time working there. Doesn't surprise me though that its busy, Chessington has a relatively loyal (Annual Pass) fanbase.

Thankfully the rides theme should excel this attraction because its layout is just as dull looking as Gardalands version.

I'll tell you what is Universal and Disney standard though, Thorpe's KFC. This wall with a volcano painted on it hardly compares.

WE'RE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS PEOPLE!

If it makes you feel better, everyone I know now doesn't know what they are talking about. Don't take it personally.

Yes it is impressive. In fact very impressive. But we don't have to use that as a weapon against the Merlin parks now do we. (by the way, my opinion is that Thorpe shouldn't be open at all, its short queue times and low attendance are showing that as it currently stands, there isn't enough to bring people in)

If they refurbished the rides as much as they refurbish Bar 360, we'd have nothing to complain about

If Oblivion wasn't open, there would be no need whatsoever to visit during main season.

Can they create synergy towards each other when the show airs in November, a time when Thorpe is closed. I've never heard anyone ever say they would like to try the challenges set on the gameshow.

The theming and aesthetic of this ride is enough for me to have serious respect for Efteling. It looks sublime and looks to be a really worthwhile addition to the park. Building for the future for the win.

Well now I'm sold. Until now I was umming and ahhing but now I know it's a worlds first I'm all over it like a tramp on chips.

Hands up who isn't surprised

Part of me wants to be bitterly disappointed but then my expectations are at an all time low anyway. So to put a positive spin on it, I'm sure the target audience (whatever that is these days) will lap it up. Just for conjecture, I wonder if this will have any bearing on the theme of the 2016 dark ride. Or will this shameless IP not even make it till 2016. This post represents my thought pattern in regards to I'm a Celeb at Thorpe. One of bemusement, one of horror that they are getting an ITV IP.
