August 28, 201312 yr comment_167139 Any chance it could move to thorpe in 2014??? No. It's already confirmed to re-open at Chessington in 2014
August 28, 201312 yr comment_167141 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!
August 28, 201312 yr comment_167143 ok, I still want a top spin at thorpe even though no one else does! Me to. Come on Thorpe, give us what we really want.
August 28, 201312 yr Author comment_167146 Me to. Come on Thorpe, give us what we really want. Don't even...
August 28, 201312 yr comment_167155 Tbh, the day Thorpe get a top spin is the day Chessington get a topple tower .
August 29, 201312 yr comment_167219 Hopefully thorpe get a top spin just to make me happy Go. To. Chessington. (Or not as it isn't open, go to Alton Towers for Ripsaw)
August 29, 201312 yr comment_167239 Pending the reliability of Rameses and (to some extent) Ripsaw it is unlikely that we will be seeing one at Thorpe.
August 29, 201312 yr comment_167257 But seriously, I appreciate everyone has different opinions, but I can think of loads of reasons why I top spin would not suit Thorpe...
August 29, 201312 yr comment_167259 Why would Thorpe want Rameses? It's ancient. (and here is me dragging the conversation on... )
August 29, 201312 yr comment_167268 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.
September 22, 201311 yr comment_169004 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
September 22, 201311 yr comment_169005 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.
September 24, 201311 yr comment_169107 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!
September 24, 201311 yr comment_169133 If only Chessington/Merlin would get something like Talocan at Phantasialand.
September 24, 201311 yr comment_169136 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.
September 24, 201311 yr comment_169179 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.
September 25, 201311 yr comment_169190 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. 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?
September 25, 201311 yr comment_169199 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.
