Dan Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 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 :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laelda_95 Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.man Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 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?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.man Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 And its not like they have these signs all over the place, its just one, there, randomly:L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepie Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 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.

Cal Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerfuffle Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slendercat Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 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. slendercat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
