March 10, 201114 yr comment_110284 By the way, this photo is from the website of the company who designed the façades and theming for Amity Cove when Tidal Wave was built (they also did Rattlesnake, Transylvania and Forbidden Kingdom at Chessington).Thanks for sharing this website. The site looks quite old but they have some great photos on there. The one of the Tidal Wave theming being constructed is cool. Really I wish I had taken some good photos and video of the ride while the water tower and fire effect were still working.
March 24, 201114 yr comment_111704 For all you doubters out there, the Amity Cove sign has returned.Oh and Tidal Wave IS the best water ride, if not the Uk then at Thorpe Park. It's fantastic !
March 24, 201114 yr comment_111707 Glad to see it's back. Its a great piece of theming so it would have been quite a loss if they had scrapped it.
March 24, 201114 yr comment_111719 That dent in the top right hand corner has added to it as well; nice!
March 24, 201114 yr comment_111720 That dent in the top right hand corner has added to it as well; nice!Didn't they dent it when they built Storm Surge?I seem to remember people kicking off because of that...
March 24, 201114 yr comment_111722 Didn't they dent it when they built Storm Surge?I seem to remember people kicking off because of that...Yeah, they dented when they were tearing it out. And a few people did kick up a right fuss about it... As I said, I like it, makes it look better
March 25, 201114 yr comment_111764 Maybe I am being pedantic, but it's looking a bit sorry for itself. I hate the way it has been plonked on a bit of the old Octopus garden sidewalling. When it was on the grass hill before, with shrubbery behind it, it looked like a real sign. Also the lights have been removed, and they werea great bit of theming.
March 25, 201114 yr comment_111772 I'm sure they dented it when ripping it out... Meh.And personally, there's still some greenery by the Storm Surge area no? Well, there's the best place to put it in my eyes...
March 25, 201114 yr comment_111776 Dont think it stands out that bad! The green area which backs on to Storm Surge is already proving a popular area to sit and hangout so I dont think plonking it there would of been a good thing, I'm sure it will grow on us

Yes you are being slightly pedantic as I think the sign fits in its new home fine. It's on a major pathway at the entrance to Amity Cove, works for me. The lights might come to, afterall, a week ago we didn't even know if the sign was going to reutrn.
March 25, 201114 yr comment_111783 So we moan that it wasnt there.. Then we moan when it returns? So tell me, where would you of put it in that area with next to nowhere where it would fit in?Wrong way to answer a post (Thorpe park kiss up )Yes you are being slightly pedantic as I think the sign fits in its new home fine. It's on a major pathway at the entrance to Amity Cove, works for me. The lights might come to, afterall, a week ago we didn't even know if the sign was going to reutrn.Right way.As far as I see it the sign was nice where it was, with one of the manyy bits of grass THORPE PARK has =D
March 26, 201114 yr comment_111786 I suppose really, the park shouldn't have reliability issues anymore because most of its rides are now over 5 years old. Back in like 2008 Thorpe could use the timeless excuse that its rides are new and are still throwing up unpredictable challenges. Not so anymore, loves

Not so anymore, loves No because the rides in Thorpes opinion will now be "getting old and having reliability issues"
March 26, 201114 yr comment_111792 No because the rides in Thorpes opinion will now be "getting old and having reliability issues"True that. I'll just bring up Corkscrews excellent reliability then
March 26, 201114 yr comment_111793 Can also bring up nemesis' or vampires as well - being the oldy coasters in the merlin world
March 26, 201114 yr comment_111821 Last time that I visited the park (21/03/11), I noticed the water guns in the splash zone were not working as were the same water guns at loggers leap, Why cant Thorpe keep these small things working within the park, It looked so much fun to soak people when they least expect it ??
March 26, 201114 yr comment_111823 True that. I'll just bring up Corkscrews excellent reliability then In the many times I went to Towers whilst Corkscrew was operational it was open once... and the time I got on boy did that hurt.. Still, fun rideish
March 26, 201114 yr comment_111827 In the many times I went to Towers whilst Corkscrew was operational it was open once... and the time I got on boy did that hurt.. Still, fun rideish Same.. except I never saw it closed
March 29, 201114 yr comment_111994 I've also never seen Corkscrew closed when I went and how I loved that ride!

April 5, 201114 yr comment_112543 Where exactly is this dent :l It looks like the old sign without the 'Original Source' logo...
April 6, 201114 yr comment_112611 Sorry if I'm going off topic, but what's this "Tidal Dave" all about?
