September 7, 200817 yr comment_32086 Stop complaining over something so small and insignificant.Me? Complain? No, Dan, I'm just stating the truth here and outlining one of the problems the park has.The Pizza Hut sign next to Nemesis Inferno...That is not pointless? Big maybe, but it has overcome my hunger problems in the past, whilst queueing for Nemesis. You can't deny it, I've solved your problem. Damn ¬_¬, Well I solved the so called Octopus Garden 'problem'Well I can deny it, and I will. Because now I'm stuck with another problem - in order to walk Quantum and Zodiac area, I have to follow the signs for the toilets in the dome, through the tiny door that everyone misses and down the steps, past the toilets and lockers and out past Quantum, Zodiac and Rush - why should I have to do that?Well tbh according to him, he can't go round Ranger County either because he'll be swamped with small rides.Well, actually no. Those I can stand.
September 7, 200817 yr comment_32088 Well if you're not willing to take a longer route, THEN STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT OCTOPUS GARDENS.
September 7, 200817 yr comment_32090 As I've just said, I'm not complaining, I'm just telling it how it is - the truth.

September 7, 200817 yr comment_32107 As I've just said, I'm not complaining, I'm just telling it how it is - the truth.Ya know what just stfu, you are complaining and its f**king annoying. Get over the fact that thorpe has areas aimed towards familys. If I had my way I would sellotape you in Octopus Gardens just to be as annoying at you k?So please shut up and stop COMPLAINING.
September 7, 200817 yr comment_32119 Thorpe will most likely have family rides in the future and in order for the park to become as good as Alton Towers, it needs to have great landscaping, nice themeing on rides but most importantly be a pleasant enviroment. Alton started adding loads of thrill rides and when they had enough, they started adding family rides. Maybe this approach will work for Thorpe?According to TTF, Alton is looking to improve/re-theme & update all their zones and expand on areas that are in dire need of expansion. Areas that don't connect or haven't recieved much expansion. Areas like UG Land, Gloomy Wood and Cred Street.What ares are lacking or are in dire need of improvements/expansion? Neptune's Kingdom, Octopus Gardens and Canada Creek. In fairness, there are things that every area in Thorpe that can be improved on? Lost City = X:/No Way Out, Calypso Quay = Rumba Rapids and Amity Cove = a flat or two?I would much love to see a water coaster in Neptune's Kingdom/Port Atlantis, like someone mentioned OR some major expansion
September 7, 200817 yr comment_32123 Ooh - I've been told. :angry:Do people not realise how much potential there is in the areas ocuppied by the beach, Depth Charge, the slimy Octopus Gardens, X:\ and the arena? Obviously not. Because if Thorpe or Tussauds had realised it before Merlin took over, they'd have done something about it.Oh and Holly? I wasn't complaining. Thorpe has issues - big ones, and upgrading the kiddies area and improving it, or possibly even moving it is one of them.
September 7, 200817 yr comment_32131 Someone mentioned about wanting a sitting coaster at Thorpe, we have Colossus which is a sitting coaster. It doesn't matter how perfect something is, someone can always find something to complain about.
September 7, 200817 yr comment_32134 I understand, but a B&M Sitting coaster wouldn't be totally crap even though it would probably stand in the shadow of Colossus. A lot of parks have more than one sitting coaster, like Cedar Point, Six Flags Magic Mountain etc.
September 8, 200817 yr comment_32171 Thorpe needs family rides, but octopus gardens is abit of a crappy attempt at this!
September 8, 200817 yr comment_32176 Thorpe needs family rides, but octopus gardens is abit of a crappy attempt at this!I agree mark. The only family rides I can think of at thorpe are Time voyagers, Rumba rapids, Logers leap, Flying fish and maybe Tidal wave. I'd love to see a indor sensory atraction like Bubble works or the old Toyland tours / Charlie and the chocolate factory, or a ride in the Style of toom blaster wouldn't go a miss iver.
September 8, 200817 yr comment_32177 How about some ORIGINAL family rides. All people ever seem to do when suggesting new things is to look at what other parks have done and copy. Indoor sensory ride like Bubbleworks? ride like Tomb Blaster? Why not something completely out there, challenging and different instead of sticking to a formula.
September 8, 200817 yr comment_32178 How about some ORIGINAL family rides. All people ever seem to do when suggesting new things is to look at what other parks have done and copy. Indoor sensory ride like Bubbleworks? ride like Tomb Blaster? Why not something completely out there, challenging and different instead of sticking to a formula.Like what?. I can't think of anything really not done at another park
September 8, 200817 yr comment_32179 A dark ride themed around time travel! with water and laser effects WOO.I don't want to pretend that I have any ideas for Neptunes kingdom, but just throwing rides like ones we already have is a bit senseless. Unless the ride has something paritcularly special it will just be forgotten (Like so many others)
September 8, 200817 yr comment_32183 A dark ride themed around time travel! with water and laser effects WOO.I don't want to pretend that I have any ideas for Neptunes kingdom, but just throwing rides like ones we already have is a bit senseless. Unless the ride has something paritcularly special it will just be forgotten (Like so many others)Sounds realistic, and I don't think it's been done before. Anywhere that is, not even in America. I support that idea.you know, wonder if any staff from thorpe read this and think about our ideas?
September 8, 200817 yr comment_32189 Read - Yes. Care - No.Mark clearly just wants Doctor Who: THE RIDE, but he does also have a very valid point.
September 9, 200817 yr comment_32223 Like what?. I can't think of anything really not done at another parkWell as far as I'm aware X:\ was a first. Perhaps they should drop the "in the dark" effect and spice it up even more?I dunno, I really don't. Thorpe have almost got it all, what with Stealth's height and speed, and Colossus being the world's first to loop-the-loop. They are running out of ideas.
September 9, 200817 yr comment_32233 Family Rides: 8 ridesDepth Charge, Flying Fish, Time Voyagers, Quantum, Zodiac, Logger's Leap, Rumba Rapids and Tidal Wave: are all below 1.2 metresCOLOSSSUS is not the world's first loop-the-loop. They are the world's first 10 looping coaster.--------------Thorpe's:Most inversions on a coaster: ColossusFiery: Nemesis InfernoFast & tall: StealthScary/spooky: ?Wettest coaster: ?Multi-sensory: ?Coaster with worlds' first ........inversion: ?Expensive (A coaster that costs more than £12 mil)?Well-themed?Maybe Thorpe could be the home to a coaster with a never-before-seen inversion? Now that's a good idea! I have been thinking of a loop that looks like the infinity sign and it would be seen on a flying coaster as the pretzel loop is half of it.
September 9, 200817 yr comment_32251 I wonder what that could be.....maybe we could wait till 2009 till we actually see what the final version looks like. For all we know, we could get even better themed coasters in the future.E.g. Maybe Thorpe could knock-out a flying coaster that is more expensive than stealth, has a new loop, is very well themed and is partially over water. That would be sooooooo unexpected but possible. Kinda makes you wonder ....
September 13, 200817 yr comment_32504 COLOSSSUS is not the world's first loop-the-loop. They are the world's first 10 looping coaster.Well yes, that's what I meant, but I wrote it wrongly. And you call Nemesis Inferno fiery? The fiery thing about it are the red lights in the tunnel, and that's wet inside there!
September 15, 200817 yr comment_32893 I heard from a friend that works at Thorpe that they're planning to build a golf course (like Extraordinary Golf at alton Towers) on the site where Thorpe Farm used to be :- Made accesible by canada creek railway
