Coaster Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 I'm deadly serious, Bubbles1. Couldn't give a damn if the tunnel has gone, at least now we can see! But the Stealth rope I just hate. It's the small things which I take note of, they're sometimes key to good or bad presentation. Can we please get off the topic of the rope??! In the Loggers leap topic, really? We know you don't like it, most of us don't care because it is something that the ride needs to have to open! The Loggers leap tunnel is a different matter, it actually impacts on the ride experience and the ride won't be the same without it!

JoshC. Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 This rope discussion has hung around for too long. Can we all just move on from it now please? Inferno and JoelPagett 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 I've knot heard enough about it yet. Loggers tunnel going is poor. It is an actual ride experience change, and a change for the worse in quite a major way in my opinion.

JoshC. Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Let's not get tied up in these sorts of jokes, ey? But seriously, as I've said before, Loggers tunnel goes - changes experience, makes the ride totally different, could adversely affect the experience of the first drop totally. I hope that they just don't simply remove the tunnel and leave it like that.. jom222 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RideAddict Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 It probably will be, out in the open. Loggers tunnel going is poor. It is an actual ride experience change, and a change for the worse in quite a major way in my opinion. A few weeks ago you'll recall the Dragon Falls debate and I went on about H&S - who's to say that the tunnel here had been deemed unsafe by H&S? The park may have been given the chance to fix it but decided on the cheaper option instead.Has it definitely gone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Again we'll just be going over the same ground... H&S might deem it unsafe, BUT if Thorpe had maintained it properly it wouldn't have gotten into an unsafe situation... Let us not repeat the Dragon Falls topic again... Please... pluk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RideAddict Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Yes I have, and...? I am not getting into this again. It's simple, the rope bothers me more than the tunnel bothers others. Now let's get back on topic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt 236 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) Hi guys, I'm new here but having watched the live feed, here's the apparent result of loggers tunnel problem. http://thorpeparkmania.co.uk/page/live Edit-appears I put the wrong link up there earlier Edited March 9, 2013 by Matt Creek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan9 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Only the second half of the tunnel remains, the lift hill and drop are outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Dislike. Thorpe suck so badly with some of their decisions. The only reason for this is they can't be bothered or don't want to spend the really small amount of money or effort required. At a time when they've thrown so much of both unnecessarily at The Swarm. Idiots. BigBobJones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 How stupid, surely they could have just put in a small warehouse building, themed the side of it that faces the queueline etc and nobody would have even known it was a warehouse!Really bad descision to leave it like that, they haven't even bothered to remove some of the walls!

SteveJ Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 It's so obvious that there used to be a tunnel there. The safety lights are still attached to the wall on the left, there are loads of marks from where they have torn the roof off, even the entrance to the tunnel is inexplicably still standing!? Hilarious! http://thorpeparkmania.co.uk/live_files/image_01_10 And my brain can't work out what's going on here. I'm so used to having that part in darkness, it just looks wrong. And the camera makes it look as if that tunnel portal is way too low for the boat to fit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benin Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Lol Thorpe... It's that they haven't even got rid of the entire thing that makes this so hilarious, why even bother removing one section? Amazing scenes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Almost seems like they tried to create the best of both worlds, and ended up with the worst... I'll reserve any further judgement until I've actually seen it in real life, but yeah... RideAddict 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that it is on of these things: (Sorry about the quality) You used to see it on the CCR route I think (this photo is from the route in 2011, not 2010 like the stamp says ). I think there was another one to your right as you left the tunnel? Edited March 9, 2013 by JoshC. pluk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
