March 9, 200916 yr comment_47136 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 .
March 9, 200916 yr comment_47138 I think they should get an areal photograph and use that might look a lot better, HAHA
March 9, 200916 yr comment_47142 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.
March 9, 200916 yr comment_47144 http://www.thorpepark.com/thorpe_map_2009.pdf new mapIt was posted yesturday, but hey! Thanks anyway.
March 9, 200916 yr comment_47146 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.

March 9, 200916 yr comment_47163 it would be really cool if they did the map like this agien http://www.thorpeparkinsider.co.uk//cpg133...rkMaps/1994.jpg
March 9, 200916 yr comment_47168 it would be really cool if they did the map like this agien http://www.thorpeparkinsider.co.uk//cpg133...rkMaps/1994.jpgGood ol' Thorpe :)It would be great, but I think that the harsh reality now is that Thorpe Park's target market and ride types would make this design impractical and old-fashioned, as it were.
March 30, 200916 yr comment_50800 I like the map this year but being a map freak I always look for errors or funny things and here is a list of errors or funny things found on the map.Loggers Drop is wrong waySlammer is Facing wrong wayDepth Charge Entrance is wrong sidePerson riding Depth Charge with no DinghyPeople on Flying Fish bridge and exit whilst ride is moving.Person Riding Fish with Drink falling out of hand.Someones Shoe Falling off RushA mobile Phone falling off QuantumA Thinder River Boat on Rumba Platform.If anyone can spot anything else please add them as this is all I can see at the moment.
March 30, 200916 yr comment_50803 Saw's queueline is apparantly in the depths of a forest somewhere hehe!And the police car is in the wrong place!
April 13, 200916 yr comment_52304 Loggers leap faces the wrong way I'm sure :DI like the maps, the cartoons are good and the general layout of it is good
April 13, 200916 yr comment_52385 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?
April 13, 200916 yr comment_52391 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.
April 13, 200916 yr comment_52392 Supposedly you can. The cars have cameras attatched to the front of them but they still aren't working... a whole month after opening.
April 13, 200916 yr comment_52403 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.£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.

At Alton Towers it's £20 (something like that) but you get, what, 6 or 7 rides recorded.I agree with you, it is expensive for what it is. But comparing it to £6 for a photo, it doesn't seem so bad.
April 13, 200916 yr comment_52407 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.
April 19, 200916 yr comment_53376 I couldn't find the logos topic but this is the nearest thing otherwise.Got bored, and made this lol. Any thoughts?
April 19, 200916 yr comment_53377 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

April 19, 200916 yr comment_53380 I quite like it! I have to say that's a dandy looking balloon right there... wouldn't mind that being installed at Thorpe, should be a blast.
