December 28, 20168 yr comment_246264 A couple of pictures of the Old Town area courtesy of 'UK Theme Parks' Facebook...
December 28, 20168 yr comment_246266 Looks like they're taking away the rest of the train track, would expand the area a nice bit for these small rides! Maybe the rocking tug will be moved to the left side of the first photo?
December 28, 20168 yr comment_246267 I'd say the left side is most likely for at least one of the rides for sure. I think they've also removed the shooting game if I remember correctly. I wonder if this will impact the two fright night mazes using this area (assuming they will continue to do so next year). Apparently the Weymouth ride area will be replaced with a new playground area.

Ngl where else do they even have to put mazes if this site becomes unavailable? This could have a huge impact on Fright Night, cause let's be honest, Canada Creek was already stretched for space when it came to the maze queuelines with just Rocky... So bottom line is- even if they could still squeeze the mazes in, I can't see where the queuelines could be constructed??? Sidenote- if they don't retheme these things I'll... well I don't even know. But I won't be a happy bunny. I mean come on Merlin, even if it's a temporary solution and you don't wanna fork out for new theming at least strip away as much of the nautical theme as possible and leave it bare as an absolute minimal effort option ???
January 28, 20178 yr comment_247123 You say that as if there's been any consideration towards that factor...

January 28, 20178 yr comment_247128 If these rides do come to Thorpe, I don't see the Fright Nights thing being an issue personally. Platform 15's queue took up very little space in the area since it mostly used Loggers queue, and Blair's could easily spread around a bit more if they wanted. I'd also be very surprised if they stayed open after 3pm anyway. Rocky closed at 3pm, so it would make sense to close those too tbh.
January 28, 20178 yr comment_247129 If they really wanted to with Blair they could flip the route. Would give an attraction to the north of the park and then exit into an area with more mazes. Unless they want everything in one area which seems to slowly be the way they're going.
January 28, 20178 yr comment_247134 Hopefully Platform 15 won't return in any form, I've never known a "horror" attraction be so awful.
January 28, 20178 yr comment_247135 Tbh the area could be themed to fit the rides, its not like anything ties canda creek/old town to that theme anymore, it could easily be changed to a dock yard or similar
January 29, 20178 yr comment_247146 Platform 15 can't come back because Loggers is reopening this year.

New piece of land behind Swarm, a 1.2 coaster, family flat and restaurant. Family/thrill area. Spruce up Rumba, do something about the beach, done. You'd have a good mix then. Just a family dark ride needed. Maybe They Could Make The Second Section Of Rumba Rapids A Dark Ride And They Need To Clean Some Of It Up
March 6, 20178 yr comment_247879 Towards the back of Saw they have a large amount of land, I reckon a family themed area would be perfect. Definitely enough room for a Dark Ride.
