April 2, 201114 yr comment_112342 It has, but no one cares about banana ride enough to comment How DARE you...Mr. Monkey is more than a ride. Mr. Monkey is a way of life. There are three necesseties in life: Food, Clothing AND MR. MONKEY.
April 11, 201114 yr comment_113047 My mates think this rides for children so didn't go on last time I was there do you think it's worth ignoring them and going on it :/
April 11, 201114 yr comment_113050 Oh I hate this ride. My mates all laugh at me when I refuse to go on it. They soon stop laughing when I point out that if they make me ride it, they will be showered with vomit.
April 13, 201114 yr comment_113221 My mates think this rides for children so didn't go on last time I was there do you think it's worth ignoring them and going on it :/Seriously, this ride is only good with friends. Try and convince them to head on it.
April 13, 201114 yr comment_113222 Haven't been on this since I was 5! Keep forgetting to ride each time I go to thorpe
April 14, 201114 yr comment_113264 Seriously, this ride is only good with friends. Try and convince them to head on it.I will try my hardest convincing them want to try it looks like could be fun
April 14, 201114 yr comment_113271 Actually one of my best moments at Thorpe in the past few years was on the Banana Boat...Cha-Cha Slide <3
June 2, 201114 yr comment_117002 I can't believe it had a 25 min queue line the other day! Edited June 2, 201114 yr by IanNem spelling
June 5, 201114 yr comment_117207 WOW! Also next to MMBR it has a sign saying, 'check out Colossus in the Lost City,' I thought the lands weren't really lands anymore, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
June 5, 201114 yr comment_117209 That signs been there since inferno opened I believe. So, that's why it mentions the area.I have never understood why it exists though. It's like having a sign outside of thirteen reminding people to ride Nemesis. Surely they know that coaster exists as well?!
June 6, 201114 yr comment_117287 And its not like they have these signs all over the place, its just one, there, randomly:L
June 7, 201114 yr comment_117338 I think the sign was there to discourage some of the more "vocal" thrillseekers from going on the more family orientated attractions. You have to remember that the park was going through a transition period of being a family park to a thrill park, it's not until very recently that Thorpe cemented themselves as a true thrillseeker's park. I bet even now, there are still people who think Thorpe is more for families.It takes a long time to change a culture and to change a reputation. I would imagine with the higher proportion of teenagers and young adults they would want to try and keep the family rides relatively trouble free, if you catch my drift.
April 5, 201411 yr comment_180334 After nearly 3 years of no posting in the Banana thread..... Happy 20th Birthday Mr Monkeys Banana Ride!
April 14, 201411 yr comment_180870 Its super juddery now :/ I saw it from Nemesis being like really juddery but I didn't know if that was just from a distance or whatever. I don't know why because it wasn't like that last season. Maybe it's just starting to show it's age now.
April 14, 201411 yr comment_180893 Happy birthday Mr Monkey's! I miss the time we spent together and you making me feel like my stomach was floating freely about my abdomen.
April 14, 201411 yr comment_180895 Too bad it's beginning to lose it's charm now. Anyone remember when Mr Monkey was positioned at the top of the ride...and when there were MORE TREES around the ride?
November 12, 201410 yr comment_197174 So I saw someone started the topic about Chief Rangers Carousel going but do remember Mr. Monkey's Banana Ride is leaving too. I never got to ride it myself
November 12, 201410 yr comment_197175 So I saw someone started the topic about Chief Rangers Carousel going but do remember Mr. Monkey's Banana Ride is leaving too. I never got to ride it myself To my knowledge, Mr. Monkey's is not leaving! The plans for the new dark ride don't interrupt MM at all, and (unless I've missed something) the park haven't said it's leaving.
November 12, 201410 yr comment_197178 To my knowledge, Mr. Monkey's is not leaving! The plans for the new dark ride don't interrupt MM at all, and (unless I've missed something) the park haven't said it's leaving. "Thorpe Park has begun work on a large development – a new attraction set to open in 2016. The development will see the closure of Studio 13, the Arena, Mr Monkey’s Banana Ride, Chief Ranger’s Carousel, Calypso BBQ, and the Nemesis Inferno shop. Whether the Ranger County attractions will reopen in other areas of the park is currently unknown, although Studio 13 will probably be located elsewhere in 2015." Got this from TPG a while back.Might be wrong though.
