Mitchada04 Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 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. Josh3103 and RubyRed95 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 ???

JoshC. Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchada04 Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 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.

Coaster Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Hopefully Platform 15 won't return in any form, I've never known a "horror" attraction be so awful. Josh3103, Ryan, TMsimonW and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobF Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 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 RubyRed95 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Themeparkwizard Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 On 22/12/2016 at 2:52 PM, Mitchada04 said: The two new kids rides in Canada Creek, open up Loggers, family area. 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kafaffel Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
