March 17, 20178 yr comment_248169 I Think the old platform for Canada creek railway will be used for the boarding area for this ride
March 18, 20178 yr comment_248231 Timber Tug Boat will be opening in Easter, as revealed by this sign that has a snazzy logo for the ride...
March 18, 20178 yr comment_248242 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
March 19, 20178 yr comment_248247 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.
March 19, 20178 yr comment_248250 I don't find the fence. When it weathers and erodes it will look a lot more timber and old town
March 19, 20178 yr comment_248254 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...
March 19, 20178 yr comment_248255 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... (!)
March 19, 20178 yr comment_248259 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.
March 19, 20178 yr comment_248267 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
March 19, 20178 yr comment_248281 I think most wouldn't have minded if this had replaced Storm Surge instead.
March 19, 20178 yr comment_248288 I don't think anyone would mind if Storm Surge was replaced by an actual turd...
April 7, 20178 yr comment_248978 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.
April 10, 20178 yr comment_249103 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.
April 10, 20178 yr comment_249120 The dirt probably IS the theming Still can't fathom the colour of those fences - just doesn't fit in the area at all
