Paul Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 You must be referring to the pre 2008 ones. The 2008 map was a very similar style to this years.Indeed I was. I loved the map last year, but couldn't have hated the pre-2008 maps more . One of my favourite maps was the 2001 map, which was very carefully created and appeared realistic at the time .

Ricky Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I think they should get an areal photograph and use that might look a lot better, HAHA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidders Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 What I get really annoyed about with the maps like the 2008-09 ones, is that Thorpe have illustrated that Logger's Leap's splash is as large as Tidal Wave's. But hey, I'm picky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny07 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Yesterday called - they want their map back. I always thought it would be interesting if the park changed the angle from which the map is drawn. I assume it's done to coincide with the entrance? I suppose if it were any different it may confused some people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey, I'm picky.Considering Logger's Leap is facing completely the wrong way I'd say yeah it is picky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake C Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 it would be really cool if they did the map like this agien http://www.thorpeparkinsider.co.uk//cpg133...rkMaps/1994.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chloebell Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I just wondered what the DVD logo beneath Saw is on the map. Can you buy a DVD of your ride like at Alton Towers or somthing similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I just wondered what the DVD logo beneath Saw is on the map. Can you buy a DVD of your ride like at Alton Towers or somthing similar?The YourDay DVD will soon be operating on SAW at Thorpe Park. Currently, the service is unavailable. The DVD is advertised at the photo collect point as £12.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Supposedly you can. The cars have cameras attatched to the front of them but they still aren't working... a whole month after opening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DVD is advertised at the photo collect point as £12.00.£12.00. For Saw alone? That's just pointless; who's going to buy that? At Alton Towers it's £20 (something like that) but you get, what, 6 or 7 rides recorded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 YourDay went down the pan. The Saw and Oblivion DVD's are run by Picsolve and personally I think Picsolve do better on-ride DVD's than YourDay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James6 Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 That's awesome, I love it . Only thing is , you've missed off Thorpe's Icon Ride!! anyway its still amazing without it well done. Makes Thorpe look a lot nicer, a lot friendlier, a lot greener and just a lot better than it is. The Colossus bit is great with it twisting towards you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
