Mark9 Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Why are you people getting so uptight about people wanting to turn Thorpe into a super thrill park. This topic is called YOUR THORPE PARK not what Thorpe should do in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDLewry Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Actually it wont, Neptunes Kingdom is a great area I think. Also when you say 'pleases many people', it actually wont, especially families.what I mean is the b&m flyer will please many people! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan9 Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 what I mean is the b&m flyer will please many people! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes it will..But the fact that the ride has been put where DP, the Beach and Wet Wet Wet were, it would also displease a lot of people.Thats what I meant by not pleasing some people. Ahh well dont worry about it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDLewry Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 but wats the point of depth charge.....? its just stiing there it hardly gets used... it hardly has no thrill!Edit: but wats the point of depth charge.....? its just sitting there it hardly gets used... it hardly has any thrill!Edit again: And I did keep some of the beach, like the part of the beach and under the bridge untill wet wet wet!

James Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 You can say that again :PHow can you say Depth Charge is hardly used? It opens everyday bang on opening, closes bang on closing, always has a queue, and you say it hardly gets used?Explain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDLewry Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 what I mean is there is hardly a queue and when there is its fully of YOUNG Children and Parents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cringle Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 I'd hook up project link to an ipod and have a rave.Id sort out the entrance, because its possibly the worst first impression you could have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 I'd remove Zodiac and Quantum and put the mighty Samurai there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Why.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Because more land for infill, and cutting two crap rides from LC, which is already overloaded with crap rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Dunno about you but I'd rather have 2 crappy high-throughput rides then one low throughput average ride. But each to there own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 When Quantum/Zodiac regularly has no queue [or little because of people building up during cycle], or Samurai that has normally a good healthy queue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Because of the throughputs that is. Quantum and Zodiac are 600+ whilst Samurai is under 500. Why do people have problems with rides with no queue. Surely they are better because it means you get more rides during the day. Never understand this "it never has queues so must be rubbish" thing people have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any coaster with less than 6-7 inversions would be an insult to Colossus' memory (I say don't get rid of it, it just needs a little TLC, that's all).

Sidders Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Ahh, but where would get the space for a B&M Mega-Looper like Kumba, Medusa or Kraken? And each of them have 7 inversions, not 8. Just leave it at the fact that Thorpe won't move Colossus for years yet, as I said, a bit of TLC and train refurbishment would do it the world of good.

Jake C Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 I would love to be able to turn thorpe park into roller coaster hevan. with about 12 diffrent coasters that would be cool.(y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan9 Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Well you could try, but have you seen how small Thorpe is? They've pratically run out of space already, and the only other thing to do would be infilling the lake entirely. For that you really would need space like Cedar Point or Alton Towers have. And I'm trying to say this in the nicest possible way . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Paint X black, with the blue stripe replaced with a white strip or silvery, and beef it up to me along the lines of Euro Sat, going mental with lasers. Move Zodiac into where OG is at the moment, maybe put something backing onto Colossus work shed, with maybe access road through the middle of the area. (Liftoff being played anyone?!)Would be oh so much better than X://whatthehelljusthappened and OG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
