UnderItAll Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 I thought id start this topic, becasue I'm new, and wanted to see one like it. I think, I'm using too many "I"s. Serioulsy, I'm not sure if anyone has spoken about anything of this, but, theres alot of empty/unused land behind Logger Leap area. To my knowledge, there used to be boat things back there, and, somehting like that should come back, like the pedaloes in the lake next to Megaphobia at Oakwood, which will allow for interesting/different angles for pictures. Also, if it was opened up a bit, the whole area, oculd include some kinda Dark Ride, which Thorpe lacks, unlike a few other good parks, like Gardaland, Italy, which have some amazing dark rides, great themeing. Like a mine dark ride even walk through, made interactive, I'm not sure really, but theres a great amount of potential, ill come up with more, and post soon. Tom.

Fred Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Boat things used to be in the middle of the lake with loggers surrounding it, the old queueline is included as part of the extention of loggers now (and as far as I'm aware, the current main queueline entrance was for the boats, the fastrack was for loggers).As for canada creek, no room after the 09 coaster really.

Josh Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 A boat ride would be quite nice to have back actually. Gives some good interaction with Loggers Leap and the lake is nice.Future for Canada Creek? Not much I think, apart from the new coaster. All I want to see is some cleaning up and some new paint here and there on the buildings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj olly c Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 I think Loggers Leap should be pulled down cos come 2010 it would have been in the park 20 years, thay shoud buld a mega leg flume in its place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickles Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 So Rocky Express has been in the park since like 1989, thats gonna be 20 next year. Do you wanna tear that down and build a new Rocky Express?Didn't think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to its age, it should be torn down? Just because its old, dosent mean its a bad ride. Evidently, having lasted near on 20 years.Where do you lot come up with this crap, seriously?

Evidently, having lasted near on 20 years.Where do you lot come up with this crap, seriously? no but it should b fixed at the very least cos the Ratchets on the big lift hill dont all work ,come to think of it only a few Ratchets work,and if anything was to happen thorpe park would be f**ked, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 The only thing the ratchets do, is stop the boat rolling back down the lift if it stops, seeing as there is at least one working for every 5ft or so of the hill, nothing would happen, at all, ever.

MikeC Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 No they wouldn't, the ride has had shutdowns on the lift, and NEVER has a boat rolled down the lift hill. I can guarentee you that the lifthill dogs on Loggers are secondary stopping devices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the-medusa Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Wow, I never knew forums were like this . "Where do you lot come up with this crap, seriously?" is not something which is appropiate to say.After all, Dj Olly C is new after all, so try and be nice thankxAnyway, no I don't think Thorpe (a trusted and well-respected park) would build/or continue to have a ride that is deemed unsafe or is old.The Rumba Rapids, has been running for quite some time and is still working fine. Alas, it would be nice to see a refurbed Logger's & Rapids something to celebrate their 20 years of service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discussions are all part of a forum. New member or not, you dont need knowledge about thorpe park to make allegations like that. Just common sense.I had every right to say what I did. If people wish for their comments to be respected, back them up with something? Otherwise, they'll just be shot straight down. Personal opinion dosent get you far in this forum I'm afraid. Thorpe park wont do something just because YOU want them to. You have to take a lot more into account than just 'I want'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 I would like to see some more development on Canda Creek as the last development was in 2005, when we had slammer, a thrill ride from S&S Power.As for the other zones, I would like to see some development in Calypso Quay or Amity Cove.Does anyone think we need anymore thrill flat rides?

Fred Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 The irony of you telling me not to listen to others is huge here. You shouldnt listen to me and should ignore the comments I make.Shame that, everyone elses posts aren't offending others and having a good time until grumpy s**t here appears and ruins it for no reason. Calm down love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeis Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 I'm actually going to comment alot less, my warn's upto 60% and it would do me good if I made myself scarce.So I'm invisible, from now on.I would like to see some more development on Canda Creek as the last development was in 2005, when we had slammer, a thrill ride from S&S Power.As for the other zones, I would like to see some development in Calypso Quay or Amity Cove.Does anyone think we need anymore thrill flat rides?I think anyone will agree that having more rides is nicer. I love to find a reason for thorpe park to have one of these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnderItAll Posted April 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Can this thread be deleted, becasue its obvioulsy causing a bit of a stir, and not everyone wants that, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Everythink's calm now ;)Back on topic, I went onto the Huss website and there's this state of the art King Kong thrill ride, which would IMO, be perfect to Calypso Quay.It's just a suggestion, but I think that it would be something unique and innovative.
