February 10, 201510 yr comment_202422 Re-Themed, Storm In A Teacup to Angry Birds, Merlin like to re-theme a ride and call it new, like new for 2014 Scorpion Express. I reckon you may have a point - Thorpe WERE playing the ABL soundtrack in the teacups on the last day of the season after all... If they do retheme it, I really do hope it's Bad Piggies orientated!
February 10, 201510 yr comment_202424 Well this is a unique way of giving out clues... https://twitter.com/THORPEPARK/status/565187758109372416
February 10, 201510 yr comment_202426 Something to do with snakebite? New attraction for 2015 - the bar 360 menu.
February 10, 201510 yr comment_202427 With sharks and sleeping implied, I'm praying its not hotel related...
February 10, 201510 yr comment_202428 Wouldn't be surprised if it was a rethemed Flying Fish into a shark themed coaster!
February 10, 201510 yr comment_202433 Re-Name and Re-Theme of Mr Monkeys Banana Ride, into Mr Monkeys Banana Ride Bites Back for 2015
February 10, 201510 yr comment_202435 Surely it's a retheme of something (as opposed to a proper new ride)
February 10, 201510 yr comment_202438 Maybe a flying fish shark or snake retheme maybe? I doubt it but its a suggestion I have seen on other forums.
February 10, 201510 yr comment_202440 I doubt it'll be a Flying Fish retheme as we saw a photo of it testing in the snow last week, and it's also opening for February half term. That Vine really doesn't give enough away to be able to have any concrete ideas. At this stage though, my guesses would be: -Retheme of Mr Monkey (though that seems doubtful, especially as I think some closed season pictures have shown the ride with all of its original theming still?) -Sealife centre? A small could be possible.. And they could probably transform the Marquee or part of the Dome into a suitable area. Seems doubtful as well. -Teacups retheme into something Angry Birds. It's something that has always made sense to do, though that Vine doesn't suggest that in any way... -Work to Neptune's Kingdom / beach / dome area. That's something they can do cheaply, secretly and with no planning permission. Could quite easily theme it to sharks and add a couple of sideshows or something (which I personally think is most likely). But yeah, could be anything at the moment, what a shocker!
February 10, 201510 yr comment_202441 I'm fairly sure it will have something to do with the resort side of things though. Perhaps the dome?
February 10, 201510 yr comment_202442 It could be something small on the Fungle Safari site, which they were clearing up at the end of last season.
February 10, 201510 yr comment_202444 Thorpe reach out to what the GP want every year; a new investment to the park year upon year and thorpe have fulfilled this request for a long time now. I said I would be particularly suprised if thorpe didn't advertise something new for 2015, as it is a fundamental factor in their business plan to expand the park and advertise new attractions every season. I don't have the foggiest of what it is going to be yet, however I am already excited. Whatever it is, it's more than most people were expecting so I'm likely to be happy with it whatever scale it's on. Roll on 2015.
February 10, 201510 yr comment_202453 The days when Thorpe Park added high quality additions on smaller/medium years is clearly over. With 2010, 2011, 2013 and 2014 all being pretty low-quality investments, I don't really have much hope for anything worthwhile here. I haven't posted on this forum for a while because, well, quite frankly, Thorpe park just seemed to have dried up of direction or ideas and only do anything worth discussing once every 4 years!
February 10, 201510 yr comment_202456 Looked like a swimming baby shark? It looked like that - a baby (rocking with the hands) + something swimming. They might be building a shark enclosure to coincide with the hotel.

February 10, 201510 yr comment_202460 A square toilet? Seriously though; agree with Ryan that it could be some sort of pool though. I'm placing my money on something happening to Neptune's Kingdom and/or the Dome.
