February 9, 201510 yr comment_202351 I reckon we may see something quite Interesting this year opening Dream on...
February 9, 201510 yr comment_202355 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.
February 9, 201510 yr comment_202358 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.
February 9, 201510 yr comment_202372 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...

Sorry I don't know much in all honesty I just have a feeling we are getting something this year

But.. But... I enjoy this game
February 9, 201510 yr comment_202379 They did hint in reply to some people.on Facebook a while ago that there may be something new, but that means nothing really.
February 9, 201510 yr comment_202380 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)
February 9, 201510 yr comment_202383 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 ;)

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... 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.
February 9, 201510 yr comment_202386 Seeing as they need planning permission to build a fence, I seriously doubt they would be able to do a lot without planning permission.
February 9, 201510 yr comment_202388 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.
February 9, 201510 yr comment_202389 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).
February 10, 201510 yr comment_202392 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.
February 10, 201510 yr comment_202397 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...

I know what the new attraction is for 2015... ITS ME. I really want to laugh, but it just won't come out.
February 10, 201510 yr comment_202409 I know what the new attraction is for 2015... ITS ME. Hopefully that's a Five Nights at Freddy's reference to a new attraction.
February 10, 201510 yr comment_202412 I wish CCR would come back </3 I wonder what this new attraction is...
February 10, 201510 yr comment_202417 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.
