January 27, 201312 yr comment_149066 Come on Thorpe, you know everyone wants this ride. 4 water rides is plenty in our climate. They could all do with some TLC though.
January 27, 201312 yr comment_149080 Other than the stereotypical 'battle galleons' what new water ride could they add? What about about a flat/water ride like a Huss Delirium or a topple tower?
January 27, 201312 yr comment_149089 As much as I'd like a Topple Tower, Huss Delirium or a Top Spin. I don't think they will come: 1) Topple Towers have reliability problems and breakdown a lot 2) Huss Deliriums are amazing but they take up too much space and they'd be better suited for somewhere hot and with a lot of space 3) There is a Topspin in Chessington and Alton and I can't see them building one at Thorpe.

January 27, 201312 yr comment_149090 I have said this a few times but I'll say it again. Thorpe park should install a Topspin - but a well themed one with water fountains - think Ripsaw/Rameses revenge but with better theming.
January 27, 201312 yr comment_149094 Not another word Yes, but I don't think we on the Thorpe park fansite represent the views of the majority of the general public who visit Thorpe. I reckon it would be quite a popular addition with most of the park guests - if you don't like topspins, don't ride it!
January 27, 201312 yr comment_149095 There has never been a Huss Delirium built... Ever... And yay the annual Thorpe should build a TopSpin!
January 27, 201312 yr comment_149096 Stuff you're guaranteed every closed season: TopSpin at Thorpe No way Out Refurb Talk of refurbing toilets
January 27, 201312 yr comment_149097 There has never been a Huss Delirium built... Ever... And yay the annual Thorpe should build a TopSpin! Except it's the weekly now...
January 27, 201312 yr comment_149099 What about some sort of water coaster e.g. Rollersoaker, no space I know but would meet Thorpes love of water and thrill rides
January 27, 201312 yr comment_149101 Water coaster: No, unless water levels can be easily varied for colder times. Rollersoaker: Even ignoring all other problems, capacity alone would mean it could never work at Thorpe. Hence why 2 were ever built and the Hershey one at least is gone.
January 28, 201312 yr comment_149103 Rollersoaker: Even ignoring all other problems, capacity alone would mean it could never work at Thorpe. Hence why 2 were ever built and the Hershey one at least is gone. Also, it was pretty crap... Water coaster wouldn't be a bad shout, and cold weather is a poor excuse when the park already had Tidal Wave (and Scandinavian countries have them)...
January 28, 201312 yr comment_149106 I wouldn't consider it poor when the park already has plenty of water rides and I don't see who loses if you use a variable system like Jurassic Park rather than popularity completely dropping off when it's colder.
January 28, 201312 yr comment_149108 I just want a really well thought-out, highly themed, and fun Dark Ride. Bring Tower Of Terror over please!
January 28, 201312 yr comment_149110 Thorpe has shown us what it does to immersive well themed coasters. If they can't even look after that properly, they wouldn't be able to look after a dark ride.
January 28, 201312 yr comment_149111 Yes, but I don't think we on the Thorpe park fansite represent the views of the majority of the general public who visit Thorpe. I reckon it would be quite a popular addition with most of the park guests - if you don't like topspins, don't ride it! Whenever I see a top spin in a theme park, it is always the most unpopular ride on park. From the one at Gardaland, to Rameses Revenge, to the one at Parque Warner Madrid. And that seems to be problem, people don't find top-spins in this day and age that amazing, so no one rides them. Even Talocan at Phantasialand gets praise for its effects and theming but never really for the ride itself.
January 28, 201312 yr comment_149124 Always the most unpopular to ride, but I must say it is almost certainly the most popular for spectators. Always huge crowds in front of them.
January 28, 201312 yr comment_149148 Topspins may be the most unpopular rides at those theme parks, but surley it could be more popular at Thorpe - a theme park that is aimed completley at Thrillseekers.
January 28, 201312 yr comment_149164 Topspins may be the most unpopular rides at those theme parks, but surley it could be more popular at Thorpe - a theme park that is aimed completley at Thrillseekers. I'll relent then. I'd wish for something better then a has-been from the 90's but you seem confident that a topspin could work at Thorpe.
January 29, 201312 yr comment_149195 I'll relent then. I'd wish for something better then a has-been from the 90's but you seem confident that a topspin could work at Thorpe. Well obviously I'd rather have something better, I'm just saying that a topspin could work at Thorpe. Surley it would have been a more worthwhile addition than Storm Surge was?
January 29, 201312 yr comment_149197 Just because it is better than Storm Surge doesn't mean they should get it. I don't want a topspin, there is already on at Alton and Chessington.
January 29, 201312 yr comment_149209 Well obviously I'd rather have something better, I'm just saying that a topspin could work at Thorpe. Surley it would have been a more worthwhile addition than Storm Surge was? Installing nothing would have been a more worthwhile investment then Storm Surge.
