Project LC Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Interesting doesn't necessarily mean big flashy expensive ride. I know I am in this group of people who always act as they know best but they are a multimillion pound company. Now that doesn't mean they can't do wrong but what ever they do invest in they will do so in the interest to benefit the park. To have a mind set that nothing will happen or we will see a repeat of the same mistakes of the past investments seems very unlikely. Merlin are not stupid and they do learn. They may come up with solutions that are not in everyone's favour (shipping containers come to mind) but they fix a problem that was there. In conclusion I would agree with J.S217 that this year will be an interesting one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPJames Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 For the last few years, thorpe haven't gone by without advertising something new for the year, as this can potentially bring a lot of new guests in. It would be particularly strange to see no new investment. I don't think it will be anything big, however I reckon thorpe will be advertising something new of sorts for the 2015 season.

Benin Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Nothing worse than enthusiasts playing the "I know all the things, but as I can't tell anyone in a public forum, I'm just gonna leave unsubtle hints towards the fact that I know something that you don't" game... If Thorpe were building something, we'd have seen planning permission by now... Given they needed it for Angry Birds Land last year, which consisted mostly of stuff that wouldn't affect the outside sight lines, Thorpe don't have the luxury that Towers does without having to submit everything clearly...

Coaster Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 They did hint in reply to some people.on Facebook a while ago that there may be something new, but that means nothing really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge2002 Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Actually, now I think about it, isn't this going to be the first time in over 10+ years that we won't see a new addition to the park? (That is of course if you count the crash pad as an attraction) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt 236 Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 I know exactly what thorpe are getting this year A top spin Vengeance Colossus repaint Plus tidal wave's fire is returning and Canada creek railway coming back These ideas are clearly original and are not like rumours that appear every closed season ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one said it was a new ride, there are plenty of things the park could do and advertise as new without planning permission requested.

Ricky Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Seeing as they need planning permission to build a fence, I seriously doubt they would be able to do a lot without planning permission. pognoi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordanluke2009 Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 I doubt Colossus will get that much needed repaint, perhaps in 2016 it shall get new trains and parts retracked. Canada Creek Railway should make a return this year to fit in with the family market. And of course blow up Storm Turds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 I should point out, my post above was literally a Mickey taker of recurring rumours every closed season and shouldn't ne taken seriously. But I'm sure what thorpe will get new this year will be worthwhile (especially with the big ride next year). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPJames Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 CCR is an interesting one, the track still remains so if the physical train still remains connected to the track could it be possible to return? With the carousel closing up this year, it may be worthwhile to have a filler attraction and CCR fits the family market and could be closed to make way for BWP during fright nights. I wonder what will be in the carousel's place this year, or if there is just a widened path to fill the void, will be interesting to see either way.

JoshC. Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 From Thorpe's FB: BIG NEWS COMING SOON…. Look out for our clues and see if you can guess what our new attraction for 2015 is.... Hmmmm....interesting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaster Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 No, they removed the track near saw. That doesn't mean that they couldn't replace it if they wanted to bring it back. Whilst a new attraction isn't a necessity (IMO), I'm still looking forward to finding out what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
