August 17, 201114 yr comment_121621 Knowing Thorpe and the way they worded that paragraph, they plan to put something more than just a grassy area in Neptune's Kingdom's area. Which is a shame as Mark said, because that area of the park is already inundated with flat rides.
August 17, 201114 yr comment_121623 I wouldn't be surprised to see the area looking pretty temporary and abandoned through 2012, with a new flat there in 2013. I expect there'll be a central area fenced off, with extra path space created around both sides of it a la Storm Surge. Seems so stupid and unnecessary when the Fungle site sits empty at the back of the park, which with the approval of the MTDP at the same time as LC12's approval also became greenlit for a flat (Slightly OT, but how the hell do they propose to fit a flat between Zodiac and the start of the Saw path behind Crust!? Some of the proposed locations on the MTDP seem highly unlikely!).Silly Thorpe...
August 17, 201114 yr comment_121624 I do think people are somewhat jumping to conclusions here... its not unusual in anyway for work to start on the construction of the mazes in September, to get rid of the beach and make it look presentable would cost a large chunk of money, I cant see that being around with The Swarm being built, so yes whilst the message could be taken as its being removed, id be more inclined to read it as they are simply getting it ready to build the Fright Night attractions...
August 17, 201114 yr comment_121625 Thing is, they must be planning something before too long - It's the Olympics next year, and the visiting numbers are going to enormous. And to be perfectly honest, I'm sure Neptune's Kingdom would've been ideal to keep a few guests occupied for a few hours. Why would Thorpe leave Neptune's Kingdom as an out-of-bounds construction site when they could've just waited another season?
August 17, 201114 yr comment_121633 Marc that made me laugh. We have all jumped to conclusions and completley forgot about the reason the beach shuts in October and is drained, for Fright Nights AHA!
