MattyMoo Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Assume Slammer is still sitting there untouched, complete with pigeon nest, currently? #Rip2ndBae CharlieN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streetmagix Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 It was sitting there rusting away behind the giant fences as of 2 weeks ago. I doubt they'll start tearing it down until the closed season because of it's location and lack of access. I'm struggling to think what could fit in there as it's actually pretty tight. I'd love to see some sort of observation tower there, something like the one at Europa-Park or the i360 in Brighton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pluk Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 How about one of those deathly free fall into a suspended net upcharge things? I'm all for upcharge with something as unique and thrilling as that. Jack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benin Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 I honestly can't remember my one go on a SkyCoaster, but my word the SCAD Tower at Tivoli Friheden was one of the most exciting thrills I've ever done... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuntman707 Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 A Bavarian mad house. It will provably end up as another stall area or even just a garden to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringo Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Is Slammer still standing or did the rumoured sale happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted January 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 As far as I know, it's still standing. The chances of another park buying it are basically zero, due to the sheer amount of work it would need. Ringo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1729 Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Yeah Slammer being bought by another theme park is as likely as the CCR trains and Ivor being bought by another theme park both are "for sale" but in reality there both in a state of needing a major overhaul and I dont think any company could provide the funds and effort to do it. RIP slammer, a good unique ride but a maintenance nightmare. True S&S philosophy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorpe Park Alpaca Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 I think that The Slammer will be leaving us fairly soon. along with X (or TWD) as in my opinion I think X will be leaving us at the end of this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think they will scrap the walking dead ride as it’s brand new and they have spent quite a bit of money on “doing it up” I think it will be there for 3 seasons at least...I can’t see them tearing it down anytime soon as they need to focus and invest on loggers and river rapids!

I think we'll see a 'Sub Terra' here. The ride in a few years will have poor rideship and the park will realize they can't be ar**ed to keep it open, so it would be boarded up and the ride will be SBNO for ages. Slammer I think will stay SBNO for a while- I really hope they replace it with a another flat ride but I might be dreaming with that..

Coaster ChallYouTube Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 I have seen the ABC Tourbillon. That could be a great thrill rides for Thorpe Park. There all about extreme thrills and 3 rotations of axis and an all round thrill factor is perfect. Also themed around like an abandoned construction site brought to life with possessed steel.

I can imagine if it's themed on Swarm Island as "THE SWARM: AIR ATTACK". It's themed to an air combat army, which would try to defeat The Swarm (aliens), but they would be outnumbered. What do you think of that? And I was referring to The Swarm. Edited October 13, 2018 by 08newmanb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyMoo Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Would they consider a Star Shape (a la Danter's Air) to replace Samurai one day do you think? Would be unique to have one permanently... I really do think Thorpe could do with some more flats (that aren't Lumber Jump or Timber Tug ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
