themeparkmad Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I personally prefer the only one.Although, putting your curser over the man and he laughed scared the s*it out of me as my volume was on full! :PI know it is good to put a website to a target audience but I think some of it needs to be modified or removed...

Chris Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Whoever said the new website was aimed at chavs?Is the word 'Sick' a chavvy' word? :| In other news.I find this rather amusing - http://www.thorpepark.com/404-message.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James6 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Ha, that is quite :PAlso, just had a quick scroll around and noticed something a bit meaningless but interesting , at the top of the page, to the left is Saw's track and in the middle is Vekoma track! ? As in there isn't a coaster at Thorpe with that style of track? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to continue my earlier post this has to be the most awesome thing on the new site:I like how the file is called "merlin-fathead" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_Hk Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 They've really gone all out on this site, it's appealing and parts of it are funny to read. I really like it and think it's definitely better than last years. And now you can view the pics as a slideshow which is pretty cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 It's been up and running for a day now and it's down, wait a second...that seems familiar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkmad Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 It's been up and running for a day now and it's down, wait a second...that seems familiar.I have just tried it now and it is working for me....It does take a bit longer to load I feel. Maybe that is why you assumed it was having technical difficuies.Then again, it may just be that THORPE PARK's homepage doesn't like you! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniShinny Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 I dont like it and so hope that chessington do not change thiers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkmad Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 I dont like it and so hope that chessington do not change thiersI agree with you MiniShinny.Then again, it wouldn't attract the target group for CWoA & Zoo if it did, so I don't think there is a problem.

Ricky Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 I had a bit of trouble when it first changed, when I put .com it came up with the old when and .co.uk always worked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 God that home page is an eye sore. So much going on, my eyes don't know where to look. I like the ride pages though very nicely done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James6 Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Didn't really know where to put this so thought here would be a great one.Just seen on TowersTimes something I'm sure all of you would like to see,Certainly makes for a good read.http://www.thorpepark.com/downloads/student/Thorpe%20Park%20Student%20Pack.doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TP Daniel Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Deary deary me.I really don't like this site and much preferred the old one. It seemed a lot more simplistic and east to navigate. I think all of the cartoony people are repulsive and makes the site look horrible. Also I had just been listening to some music and when I went over the social bit I very nearly came of my chair!I am sorry, it just looks like they are trying to appeal to what they think of their target audience. I doubt it is aiming for the over 30's and being a teenager it certainly does not appeal to me.the reviews are pointless as well because they are all just saying how amazing the ride was. "Nemesis Inferno is a sick ride" Oh God I certainly hope not. I like that ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
