April 11, 20178 yr comment_249151 Wow that's some really passive aggressive stuff from Thorpe there; it's got the smiley face and everything :)))
April 11, 20178 yr comment_249153 That was my message I was a bit taken back by the aggressiveness of it
April 11, 20178 yr comment_249158 I know I'm echoing a lot of posts on here already, but it is a completely ridiculous place to have put the ride. I don't see a problem with the ride itself, and as many people have said, it is already themed PERFECTLY to slot seamlessly next to Tidal Wave or around that area. But to plonk it in the middle of Old Town, where it has absolutely no relevance to the area whatsoever just baffles me. Maybe they should rename Old Town to 'Miscellaneous Land'? It's such a real shame - Canada Creek used to be my favourite area of the park by far. It used to have a charm and character that none of the other lands offered. With Loggers, CCR and Calgary Stampede gone, the area is completely unrecognisable for the gem of a land it once was.
April 11, 20178 yr comment_249170 The sign out front of it actually says Easter, not the Easter holidays, so as long as it's open by Sunday they're correct!
April 11, 20178 yr comment_249182 Though they have since replaced that sign with a sign which simply says 'Coming Soon'.
April 11, 20178 yr comment_249191 Does anyone think that the theming for Timber Tug boat could be correct, and the rest of the area is wrong? I mean what is actually in that area, an old log flume that may or may not be refurbished and rocky express. Is it possible that they may decide to re-theme the small area?
April 11, 20178 yr comment_249192 Retheming Old Town to something that would accommodate Timber Tug Boat would be pretty pointless, considering there are other areas of the park that would already perfectly accommodate that ride!
April 28, 20178 yr comment_249558 No on ride POV yet lads?It's a sort hold on for dear life ride. No way would someone do PoV Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
April 28, 20178 yr comment_249559 I can't offer a POV, but I can offer the first ever online review of Timber Tug Boat... It's a fun little attraction. As anyone who has been on any Rockin' Tug ever will testify, they're nothing special, but they offer a nice experience which can be enjoyed by everyone. Yeah it doesn't really fit in with Old Town, and you can tell it's not a 'new' ride, which is a shame. But in my opinion, it can't be argued that something like this improves the offering for those who visit with younger children, which happens a lot, and fills a gap in the ride lineup, even if just for a while. On a scale of 'doesn't cut it' to 'TIMBERRRRRRRR', it's a 'chop shop good effort'.* *if anyone can think of a better pun for 'it's alright', I'm all ears...
April 29, 20178 yr comment_249571 To be honest, I think investing in two family attractions is a great love from Thorpe as they lack mild rides. I really feel like they could make old town a really nice family area with a small family mine train replacing loggers leap. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
April 29, 20178 yr comment_249594 That could look so good similarly lazily plonked elsewhere on park, but that is just a shocker. The embodiment of Merlin's true catchphrase; 'That'll do'
May 1, 20178 yr comment_249618 They could have at least cladded the wavey design on the sides over with wood to fit in a little! Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

I was just wondering that - are they planks for people to get on and off the ride?! God that video made me feel sad - it's nice they have a ride for younger kids but for goodness sake - it doesn't fit in with the area at all - still can't get over the blue fencing either.....
