Deleted Users Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 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. Pickles, mah boi, Coaster and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ste193 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkC Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Or a top spin Coaster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) 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.

Coaster Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 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.

Coaster Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topsyturvy15 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 What about some sort of water coaster e.g. Rollersoaker, no space I know but would meet Thorpes love of water and thrill rides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Users Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 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.

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)...

Deleted Users Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 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.

Fred Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattgwise Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 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. Coaster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 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.

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?

jom222 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
