January 1, 200718 yr comment_2950 And stealth only goes high at one point and goes straght back down.Thats a permanent structure though. Take The proposed flying island at Chessington that got refused on height issues despite the fact outside park opening hours it would never be at its full height.And its white because in a few years the rust will be noticeable so it will fit into amity cove more.**May be a lie.

January 2, 200718 yr comment_2991 I can still see it when we are driving there so its not working very well.
January 2, 200718 yr comment_2992 I think the fact is, they could have chosen any colour they wanted really- it didn't matter, it was approved. However, Thorpe saw the opportunuty to "please" the locals and decided to colour it white instead.Compare this to other colours (and take into consideration what the colour of our skies are most of the time), and I think white "blends" the most.In regards to the MTDP, well, it is clearly out-dated now. I think it would be interesting to see an updated MTDP, to give us an insight into what direction Thorpe want to go in.It would be good to see a STDP too
January 2, 200718 yr comment_2998 It would be good to see a STDP too <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Its taken some time to work out but if you going at the pun I think you are... ewww! lol.
January 2, 200718 yr comment_3006 HAHA!For once Cringle, I actually didn't mean what you were implying. lol. wow, this is history, clearly a missed opportunity there. I realized after I posted that; we already (kinda) know what's happening in the short- term, (except 2008) so I guess my post was worthless really.OK, I'm rambling now, so I'm gonna stop. I don't seem to explain myself very well
January 9, 200718 yr comment_3527 personaly I cannot be bothered about reading all of the MTDP but if you notice stealths top hat and spiraling hills going up to it THEY ARE WHITE and they do blend in.when I have driven to thorpe park through the village of thorpe you cant really see any rides from the village you start seeing it when you get near or past that arena place.
January 9, 200718 yr Author comment_3539 It's not that particularly lengthy. What did you say about spiralls on Stealth? Elaborate SVP.
February 28, 200718 yr comment_5755 going back a few pages sheepie said something about X going next year. I heard it might be going in 2013
February 28, 200718 yr comment_5774 Yeah 2016. Ive brought this up a long time agao somewhere. I saw it on a website somewhere it said on future: 2016-X:\No Way Out to be replaced with an LIM Launched coster. (considering the amount of space probably one like this)
February 28, 200718 yr comment_5775 sheepie said something about X going next year.Did I?! :mellow:God that seems like ages away. I would have finshed uni by then (if I'm actually going) That's scary tbh.Whatever takes its place, it has to be a better ride than what it already is... surely.
February 28, 200718 yr comment_5781 Can someone please tell me where I said X would be going next year. I'm started to get paranoid.

March 1, 200718 yr comment_5831 Eeek. I mis-read your post- I meant X won't be going next year. Sorry. Blame it on all the alcohol. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> you didnt, I miss read your post. my bad blame me
March 1, 200718 yr comment_5877 Alot of the MTDP turned out to be cobblers, no 2nd Detonator tower for a starters! Still with any luck the Canada Creek coaster will go ahead, don't care much what it is as long as it's gud!
March 1, 200718 yr comment_5940 Alot of the MTDP turned out to be cobblers, no 2nd Detonator tower for a starters! Still with any luck the Canada Creek coaster will go ahead, don't care much what it is as long as it's gud! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes there is going to be a coaster in canada creek they have already started doing work for it with the infilling. Thorpe said that they still could have a second drop tower but they havent confirmed it yet so yeah lets just wait until any news comes out about that.
March 2, 200718 yr comment_6012 Should be good, if they do go ahead with the 2nd Detonator tower, they should make it shoot up and than come back down like Ice Blast at Blackpool!
March 2, 200718 yr comment_6024 Or they could match it with the first tower. Race to the bottom anyone?
March 2, 200718 yr comment_6034 Maybe, but I prefer the idea of shooting up because you'll pass the other people when they're on their way down, abit like those twin towers in Universal Islands of Adventure, anyone though what it's called?
March 2, 200718 yr comment_6036 Doctor Doom's Freefall something like that. I saw that go up and it looked very dull. I would prefer racing to the bottom.
March 2, 200718 yr comment_6039 Hmm yeah but if they could time the fall and rise correctly it would be great, and if they made the 2nd Det tower have the same specs as the 1st than the chances are It'd reach the bottom at the same time!
March 2, 200718 yr comment_6057 they couldn't really race because the second one is apparently going to be taller
March 2, 200718 yr comment_6060 If they were the same size. And I could have sworn someone said there was a height barrier and that certain rides including Detonator was pushing it so why build a taller one?
