March 12, 201015 yr comment_85939 At the end of the day it's just a map, however good it may be there's always someone that will hate it. As for the "Their's people mooning on the map, that means guests at Thorpe are going to moon!" what rubbish, I mean I watch SAW, does not mean I go round putting people in traps till they die now does it The map does what it needs to do, show you where abouts a ride is. Personally I like what Thorpe have done putting the fun back into it! But of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I just think some people may be over reacting to what is JUST A MAP. . . . . . .
March 12, 201015 yr comment_85944 And how can you say that? They are marketing toward young people and young people such as myself would be appealed by this 'in your face' map.Don't even bother saying 'its horrible and its for chavs' - I'm not a chav and I like the map.That is such an over exaggeration and generalisation. I too am a young person and young people such as myself would not be appealed by the in your face map. For example, I'm going next Saturday - I'm taking someone, same age as me and you, who hasn't been to the park since she was 4. She hasn't been to a theme park since she was 10. When I showed her the map today, she absolutely hated it. In fact, the first thing she said was "I'm glad I'm going with you or else I'd get lost." Granted, that may be a bit of an exaggeration - but still, it fails its objective of a MAP. I showed a few other friends as well, and their genera opinion was dislike as well. We are all young people and are not appealed by the in your face map that has been set. In the end, each to their own and all that - but just remember not all young people are appealed to such ideas.
March 12, 201015 yr comment_85945 I'm going to bring a bottle of beer in and make out witht the girlfriend in a bush when I go, If anyone says anything il state that they've advertised it on there map
March 12, 201015 yr comment_85947 As for the "Their's people mooning on the map, that means guests at Thorpe are going to moon!" what rubbish, I mean I watch SAW, does not mean I go round putting people in traps till they die now does itThen obviously you have a minor degree of intelligence, but can we apply that to many of Thorpe's guests? Not really...When you go away for a bit and then return to the South, you really do notice that so many people are chavs (and general idiots, though that occurs wherever you go), so I can honestly imagine some people getting those thought processes, have you seen those videos on Youtube where people have jumped out of Rumba Rapids? It's people like that I can imagine to do the exceptionally stupid things...
March 12, 201015 yr comment_85949 I love this map, it is very funny . and I dont think the public will care that saw has 3 rows and the layout is not correct or nemesis goes through the volcano about 7 times. the whole sex thing though is a bit silly of thorpe. but like I said the public wont really care.
March 12, 201015 yr comment_85951 You can buy bottles of beer in one of the resturaunts [Cant spell ] .. maybe thats why they have it?but the people in the bush... :S
March 12, 201015 yr comment_85953 Then obviously you have a minor degree of intelligence . . . . . .Seriously What is the need? Say no more.
March 12, 201015 yr comment_85960 I wonder... how many teens will try to get out of doing certain things that are portrayed on the map saying that it's on there and therefore should be allowed. I see a high increase
March 12, 201015 yr comment_85964 Seriously What is the need? Say no more. So you didn't like me saying that you are intelligent?Say no more what?
March 12, 201015 yr comment_85970 So you didn't like me saying that you are intelligent?Say no more what?Opps must of read it wrong, my apologies
April 6, 201015 yr comment_88667 Has anyone else noticed the girl which looks like she is crying at the Canada Creek Railway and waving at it?
April 30, 201015 yr comment_90794 Well they cant have big heads of a small map, then they wouldn't be big! Its all to do with their rebranding for 2010
April 30, 201015 yr comment_90802 Looks like the little preist dude is back over at Stealth.Maybe they thought they needed all the help they can get to have Stealth up and running propperly this season
April 30, 201015 yr comment_90803 I witnessed a GP trying to use a map earlier and their words were "this is f**king useless".
April 30, 201015 yr comment_90804 To be honest, I dont think Thorpe park's park map really needs to be used as a map that much. The park is suprisingly small and most of the rides can be seen from anywhere in the park. I remember the first time I went to Thorpe park, I knew the where everything was in about half an hour. Alton Towers though, is a much bigger park and their map should be more...map-like. Unfortunatly it isn't and I can imagine that it gets alot of people lost.

April 30, 201015 yr comment_90815 I'm one of the few who don't mind the new 'tounge in cheek' branding, but how can they call this a map if all the paths are either made up or covered by all the attractions? (some of which happen to be in the wrong places anyway!) Yes, it gives people a general idea of where the attractions are, and it's true that most of them can be seen from the ground anyway, but surely the map should be used to find out the best route to take to get to a particular attraction - if that's the case then the map is pretty useless, and I too have heard first time visitors talking about how messy and inaccurate the map is! I heard someone in the Saw: Alive queue saying "Wait, shouldn't this be on the other side of the path?"
