February 7, 201411 yr comment_176064 I got bored of it in 5 minutes... Typical internet craze, in a week or two, the next frustrating game will come out and people will be all over that like a rash... Besides, Flappy Bird has even less substance than Angry Birds, how could you transfer it into a theme park environment?
February 7, 201411 yr comment_176080 Yeah I was joking about Flappy Bird, perhaps I should have used an emoticon to show that.
February 7, 201411 yr comment_176082 I think that is the closest we can get to joke but you can have it ryan!!!
February 7, 201411 yr comment_176099 I am actually quite happy with angry bird land especially as I have family who would love to go Thorpe Park but don't want to go on the bigger thrill rides. I for one would love return of proper themed area's especially as far as music is concerned please bring back the entrance theme and end of the day while your at it as they want to appeal to families now.
February 8, 201411 yr comment_176130 I really like the idea of angry birds land! Can't wait to see what the drop tower is rethemed as! I'm guess it's getting a name change?

February 8, 201411 yr comment_176161 If anything it will be changed to something stupid like "Detonator: Angry Birds Crashing"
February 8, 201411 yr comment_176163 I got the feeling from the roost comments it might be something like that if they did rename?
February 8, 201411 yr comment_176164 I reckon if it does get a name change, it will still incorporate the word Detonator; so something like what c1hrisin suggested. Thing is, I don't think we're seeing any theming added to Detonator per se, so just an audio change and such so that it's more shoe-horned into the area. A full out name change just doesn't seem necessary to me.
February 8, 201411 yr comment_176166 I thought they already said it was going to be called Detonator: Invaded by Angry Birds or something
February 8, 201411 yr comment_176168 Basically, Detonator needs a decent Angry Birds theme... ...how about Bad Piggies?
February 9, 201411 yr comment_176178 Any of you talking about Flappy Bird land, its success has already ended http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/flappy-bird-game-is-removed-3127155
February 9, 201411 yr comment_176188 It's a shame that Thorpe Park beat Phantasialand to these rights. Originally, I am aware that there was a high stakes, big money battle between the two theme parks to secure the rights to Angry Birds for 2014. Phantasialand in the end lost the battle, and instead went for Chiapas (which admittedly, was meant to open in 2013). Thorpe Park however managed to secure the rights, and get the dodgems, 4D re-theme and drop tower re-theme!Phantasialand management are said to be truly, under rug swept.
February 21, 201411 yr comment_176973 Full page blub on Angry Birds 4d in the new feb edition of Parkworld. Nothing too exciting to mention, but the blurb says that 'guests will be able to enjoy in the comfort of a brand new 326 Simworx effects theatre'. Also mentions that Merlin Magic Making are doing the theming for the area. Whilst Thorpe will be the first to have it, they are eager to roll it out into other park's worldwide.
March 1, 201411 yr comment_177462 Sad to see no closed season updates for Thorpe to see how the construction is going
March 2, 201411 yr comment_177507 Knowing Merlin and their timing, they will do it all in the last month (scorpion express) so probably haven't even started
March 2, 201411 yr comment_177510 Knowing Merlin and their timing, they will do it all in the last month (scorpion express) so probably haven't even started Thorpe (under Merlin) have managed to get everything opened to the promised quality on time. Don't see why Angry Birds Land would be any different.
March 2, 201411 yr comment_177520 Thorpe (under Merlin) have managed to get everything opened to the promised quality on time. Don't see why Angry Birds Land would be any different. I think we're still waiting for the quality aspect of Storm Surge...
March 2, 201411 yr comment_177521 I think we're still waiting for the quality aspect of Storm Surge... Not really, it's identical to how it looks in the plans...
March 2, 201411 yr comment_177523 The promised quality of Storm Surge wasn't exactly great. We all knew it was going to be a cheap ride that looked cheap and felt cheap. It was just meant to be a ride which everyone could ride really. Got we were promised really...

March 2, 201411 yr Popular Post comment_177533 We got more, for instance there's no metal box thing at the top of that promo image whereas in real life we do have that. We win
March 2, 201411 yr comment_177534 Other than the waterfalls mid way through the slide, it is essentially the same. Storm Surge isn't good, we all know that, but it's not exactly like we were promised much more than a ride which would just spin you round and get you slightly wet. Regardless, my point still stands - under Merlin, Thorpe have managed to get everything open on time (bar X last year, which was Vekoma's fault, so I'm not *really* counting that)
