Whatever Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Wow that's some really passive aggressive stuff from Thorpe there; it's got the smiley face and everything :))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchada04 Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Though they have since replaced that sign with a sign which simply says 'Coming Soon'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roodie Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 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?

Paul Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 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!

JoshC. Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 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...

Noah Coaster Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 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.

pluk Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 That could look so good similarly lazily plonked elsewhere on park, but that is just a shocker.

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.....
