November 10, 201410 yr comment_197053 It's only 45 days till Christmas and it hasn't snowed yet. Have some snowy pics from 2010 gotta do something with this closed season. What a great closed season. We knew what we were getting for the new season and there isn't a Storm Turd in the way. And we still had speculation about the 2012 coaster. Couldn't tell Colossus needed repainting. Inferno's volcano looked decent. And this was still here. Oh how I miss that closed season. And while you're at it, vote for Jadam as cutest couple on TPM to avoid all controversy
November 16, 201410 yr comment_197420 If anyone wanted to see some closed season photos http://www.themeparkguide.biz/news/thorpe-park-closed-season-photos
November 16, 201410 yr comment_197425 Glad the Caroulsel is still standing (although for how long who knows) Not much major yet apart from Pizza Hut work really, but then it's only been a week since Thorpe closed for the year.
November 18, 201410 yr comment_197489 I'd say they will start taking it down in the next month.James how'd you get them photos.
December 10, 201410 yr comment_198822 Thorpe Park uploaded 6 closed season photos today, thought some people might be interested.
January 16, 201510 yr comment_201012 So it's less than a month till February half term starts so some more closed season things are needed. Colossus needs repainting. I'm sorry but look at it sitting there all blue/green/yellow/whatever colour it is. It needs to be black to blend in with Saw! Inferno should get repainted invisible so no one has to look at it. Where as Storm Surge should be cloned, always thought one on Fungle's site would look good! Speaking of Fungle site... It's green, it'd fit in nicely! If not then this should go on Fungle's site! Thorpe need more water rides as well. So we know what's happening in 2016, 2015 seems to be moan about RnR which is quite fun so 2017 must be DUELLING TOPSPINS But seriously, Tidal Wave's fire effect, well we know the 2016 ride will have fire (it's a Merlin thing) so they'll route the gas line from Swarm to The Arena directly under Tidal Wave so yay fire effect!!!! Nick Varney got a new house this year The black paint has yet to arrive. But now for a serious note. The 2014 TPM awards saw the loss of a category, the cutest couple award. Now I'm sorry but why was this the case?? CONTROVERSY that's what. Everyone was just scared of the havoc me and J.S217 would cause when we got a clean sweep of votes. You just know that's how it would have been.
January 18, 201510 yr Author comment_201146 Bingo! So it's now technically closed season. Here's some original conversation points to make this closed season fly by:-Will Logger's tunnel be rebuilt? Now cue 5 pages of discussion about it.
January 18, 201510 yr comment_201148 YAY TUNNEL HYPE If I still have this view in March I will be angry. It's actually just one of these painted black around the drop isn't it? Knew it. (lololol shipping container banter)
January 18, 201510 yr comment_201150 Just stick a black warehouse around it and hide it from view/put some fake camouflage netting around it! It's pitch black inside so who cares?
January 18, 201510 yr comment_201155 I get the feeling Merlin like shipping containers. If the tunnels back next year, I'll be very happy.
January 18, 201510 yr Author comment_201157 So it's now technically closed season. Here's some original conversation points to make this closed season fly by: -*Insert old shipping container jokes that stopped being funny a year ago here*. Two in one day? Crikey, we've reached the heights of Closed Season...
January 18, 201510 yr comment_201163 It looks like its a wooden tunnel.. sorry for all of you that really want it to be a shipping container tunnel! Some more on here... http://www.themeparkguide.biz/news/january-2015-thorpe-park-closed-season-update
January 18, 201510 yr comment_201166 I hope this a sign that we will get a low key spruce up for Canada Creek this year (considering that the park isn't getting anything (we know of)). Wouldn't surprise me if that Caroulsel has one more run for half ter,. It's reliable, not too big and adds another ride to the lineup (that being said, it can disappear in just half a day).
January 18, 201510 yr comment_201173 I hope they fall out of this habit of slapping up random additions half way through the season this year. Don't get me wrong, new things like the entrance signage and queue boards etc. have been appreciated, but why couldn't they have done all that in closed season? Its kind of like Christmas, seeing all the new little bits and bobs on opening day, and it kind of just ruins that when they just decide to add them all sporadically over the season haha.

It's reliable, not too big and adds another ride to the lineup (that being said, it can disappear in just half a day). I reckon the Carousel might return one of these days. I can imagine it being in Angry Birds Land...just with a new paintjob and new sets of course!
January 20, 201510 yr comment_201244 I have a great place for Mr Monkeys Banana Ride and The Carosel I think it would go nice if Storm Surge went and them 2 go there.
