FrightNights04 Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 No. It's already confirmed to re-open at Chessington in 2014 ok, I still want a top spin at thorpe even though no one else does! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaster Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Pending the reliability of Rameses and (to some extent) Ripsaw it is unlikely that we will be seeing one at Thorpe. azzerboii 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 But seriously, I appreciate everyone has different opinions, but I can think of loads of reasons why I top spin would not suit Thorpe... Inferno 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Why would Thorpe want Rameses? It's ancient. (and here is me dragging the conversation on... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Pending the reliability of Rameses and (to some extent) Ripsaw it is unlikely that we will be seeing one at Thorpe. Hey hey hey. Chessie just cannot maintain their ride for shizzle. But who cares, we won't be getting one at thorpe. That's like thorpe adding a Vekoma Corkscrew.

azzerboii Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 True, very true. Wonder if it'll come back exactly as before or modified? Will be modified for defenet it will have new sensors at least let alone the others safety stuff they will need to include Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzerboii Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Pending the reliability of Rameses and (to some extent) Ripsaw it is unlikely that we will be seeing one at Thorpe.Tbh the won't put one at thorpe park because there is one less than 20 miles away at chesing ton and if you look into it ripsaw at alton towers is a newer version and that's properly why is more reliable.

Fred Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Ripsaw is exactly the same model, built a year after.. it's all down to maintenance and staff knowing what they're doing. Rameses won't need any changing, it just needs harnesses.. though it'd be nice if they ramped up the speed and got in Huss to reprogramme the thing!

Lottie. Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 If only Chessington/Merlin would get something like Talocan at Phantasialand. MattyMoo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 I'd love to see Ramesis completely reworked for 2014, looking good as new and able to do some exciting ride programs and also improved reliability, not going to happen though.

BigBobJones Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Sadly I don't believe we will see any increase speed settings due to the fact that it is currently one of the top rides at the park and they are not aiming to be a thrill park, more a family park. So having Rameses intensity increased will not benefit them at all IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So having Rameses intensity increased will not benefit them at all IMO. But Rameses is a thrill ride, surely? What's the point in having a thrill ride running like a family ride? Also, just because they are a family park, why does it mean they can't have even one thrill ride? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 A family park can have thrill rides, look at Towers... pluk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Hopefully if Thorpe are going to widen their appeal to more than the teenagers and attract some of Chessingigtons core market Chessington will follow suit and stop aiming themselves entirely at the younger end of the family.
