No idea what happened to the Samurai topic, so here is one!Anyways. Samurai has a new entrance sign / information board. Proof the thing isn't moving to Canada Creek? Ta Matt for the pic.

I'd imagine that it is replaced due to 'something' hitting it - I think they have to show a board and it does look pretty temporary.

They made a new Professor Burps entrance sign, 6 months before they rethemed it to Cussons. Big companies love spending money.

Fair enough, just a thought! Time will tell I guess, although only 2 months left of this season, just seems odd to get a new sign if they plan on retheming!

When I went last time I was first on the ride and the trees were overgrown and they were hitting me! lol Has this happened to anyone elce?ThanksHarry

Hey Harry yes it happened to me a couple of weeks ago I was on the end seat nearest the tree's and when the ride stops and goes back again I got hit by a evil tree lol.

I was lucky enough to see some girl's hair get ripped off by those 'evil' treesLightened up my day ;)God that was an evil thing to say.

When I went with my school in June I went on with my friend and one of them had sandels on and one came off and nearly got stuck in tree.

Contact with trees never happened at Chessington - too tall.

Sorry mate, but that doesn't confirm anything. Like Mark said about Bubbleworks, they love spending money. Well sometimes, you have to wonder if Thorpe do. They'll replace the least priority things first knowing them.

How the hell did that happen?

Well the members at TPG are under the impression that Samurai is definately being taken back Mondial in Holland at the end of the season to be re-themed into Canada Creek, they also suspect it will be given a new name. I'm not sure whether this is true but its just what I heard them talking about even thought they had no proof. (the member who mentioned it has a pretty good record for not spamming).

That sign isn't new. It's in this picture which was posted on Sp from Themeuk taken in 2004. Matt fails ;)And also, the guy operating Rocky Express the other day seemed to think it was being rethemed :|I'll be quite happy if its rethemed, but I don't want the funky offload music to go!

Hmm, another set of pictures of it being packed up should be floating around Christmas then. Can anyone really imagine it flying about in black or brown though?!They might call it the Dark Warrior.

I think it would probably go by the same colour scheme as Slammer. Brown with the hydraulic arms painted gold maybe?

They might call it the Dark Warrior.

I hope not :DAnd lets not start name guessing please

I was just thinking about the colour theme, and I was thinking that the colours would look good with the stand like thing to be black then the arms with the seats to be orange. Just thinking lol. Looks good in my mind, it would be probably look terrible in real life lolHarry

A re-theme would be pretty cool.

I don't mind Samurai's current colours.I really hope it doesn't turn brown though, I don't think it would suit it. Black how ever would look sexy!

Black would look great, have silver pods with some red detailing to look like blood splats. But maybe as the majority of Dylan is in black, having another mainly black ride next to it would look a little bland?

I wouldnt say so, Colossus and samurai have similar colors and it isnt exactly bland . I think a nice shiny black would look awesome.

I quite like that idea. It may sound bland but I'm thinking it would like pretty similar to its Chessington paintjob which was pretty cool, but I don't think fits into a Canadian logging village, as it looks quite oriental.I just don't like how black rides fade very easily, which is why I'd prefer it to be brown, plus Loggers and Slammer are brown and its generally an area that uses a lot of wood.And Matt, I don't understand why you'd admit that

Black fades into brown, so easy. Think vampire supports

I like the colours it is now. I think they should keep it the way it is if a retheme is true.

I disagree, Samurai's original colours were far better than the aquamarine and red colour scheme it has now. I'm with James; a black paintjob would look great, but a very dark brown wouldn't be the end of the world either. And hopefully Mondial will fiddle with the mechanics of Samurai to help it withstand being used at its fastest setting for long periods of time without the ride breaking down every few weeks (or so I'm told that is why Samurai runs on a lower setting)

I liked the colours it was at Chessington if they changed the colours they should do the same colours as it was at Chessington.

Just to make it look even more out of place? A martial arts warrior in a sawmill / logging village?

I completely agree with sam
