TheSwarm2001 Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 I Think the old platform for Canada creek railway will be used for the boarding area for this ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 Timber Tug Boat will be opening in Easter, as revealed by this sign that has a snazzy logo for the ride... LostCityBoy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holtjammy16 Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 They should either redo the ride & fence colour scheme or paint CCR's station's roof blue because it doesn't fit in at all yeah and ste193 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattgwise Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 It's more suited to Amity area, dunno why they put it there. dragon2000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 What on earth are they thinking?! It looks so out of place there, but would look completely natural next to fish, or tidal, or rumba, or pretty much anywhere else really. Are we supposed to see the word timber in the name and suddenly think it's a good match for the area, despite what our eyes tell us? With that wagon sitting there it's a nice bit of contrast where previously something as small as place to sit was worth theming well, to today where it's fine not to bother with theming on a whole ride. Well done everyone. dragon2000 and OlivusPrime 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatever Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 That is just truly awful. What on earth were they thinking? dragon2000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyMoo Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 Hey, the fence for the ride completely matches the area.... dragon2000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThemeParkCrafter Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 I don't find the fence. When it weathers and erodes it will look a lot more timber and old town Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 Imagine a theme park that didn't have run down theming with the excuse that its meant to be old/abandoned... What magical places those must be... dragon2000, TP-Fan, SteveJ and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyMoo Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 Jokes aside... is that the undercoat for the fence or did Merlin simply pick any colour they fancied? Blue is so cohesive with the surroundings... (!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mer Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 It does look ridiculous, even more so in person! It's quite sad to see what was a nice little area of the park being destroyed. Sure, people will argue that things don't last forever and theme parks have to change sometimes...but this is just a mess. dragon2000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theme Park Joseph Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 The ride looks out of place and just doesn't fit in with the surroundings. It shouldn't be in Old Town, I believe it would fit in better if it were put in Amity dragon2000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlivusPrime Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 I think most wouldn't have minded if this had replaced Storm Surge instead. dragon2000 and LostCityBoy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 I don't think anyone would mind if Storm Surge was replaced by an actual turd... Kerfuffle, TP-Fan, Han30 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchada04 Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 I believe that's so they can work on the electrics under the boat easier. It isn't testing as the barrier is up on the side, that if testing the ride would have smashed down. It's just wedged like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenVig Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 I stand corrected! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuntman707 Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Ah Boaty McBoatface. I guess the fences were probably painted with whatever bulk-buy paint was the cheapest on offer at B&Q. Just glue some shells on some drainpipes, throw some pebbles on the pavement, hang up some rope netting around Old Town, and the theming is done! I mean they haven't even bothered to jet wash the dirt off it, never mind trying to theme it properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Han30 Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 The dirt probably IS the theming Still can't fathom the colour of those fences - just doesn't fit in the area at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
