May 19, 200916 yr comment_56134 For the sake of it, I'm highlighting in bold anything that was wrong in your post there (this is intended as a joke that has probably gone too far... ) Okay, if you're Pernickety about it:"I do agree there is some mistakes there"Should be:"I do agree, there are some mistakes there"Sorry...Anyway, quick over view of my ideas:2010: Colossus repaint, no new rides. Entrance re-done.2011: New woodie on Treasure Island. New flat on Fungle spot.2012: New woodie, 2 new flats plus a FN maze.2013: Arena taken out for a new flat or two.
May 19, 200916 yr comment_56142 2009- SAW - The Ride2010- General Park Cleanup. Renew Medusa effect on Colossus, smoke effects on Stealth, all effects on tidal wave and the volcano effects on Inferno. Complete Inferno's volcano to cover up the tin can bit. Also repaint Colossus and give it new cars with tighter wheels. Repave Entire Park. Retheme Samurai similarly to SAW and put it on the maximum setting.2011- Rumba Rapids given a volcanic theme with lots of mist, fog and lighting effects. Includes a dark section inside a volcano. Top spin (or any other type of flat ride) put in place of MHFS. Demolish the X dome and octopus gardens to make way for a new coaster in 2012. Move hellgate to a tent on neptunes beach, on the opposite side to The Curse for it's final year of service.2012- New LIM launch coaster in the area where octopus gardens and X used to be. Features a 60mph launch and several inversions. Ride will mainly take place in a building, but will occaisionally pop out into the open air. Will be themed to a futuristic / robotic / apocolyptic theme. Building will accomodate room for a new fright night maze keeping to the same theme. Maze will be of similar standard to The Asylum.2013- Again, Park cleanup and the renewal of any effects that have run down.2014- Start Infilling land near to Zodiac for a new ride in 2016.2015- Land filling continues. Detonator taken down and 2 towers are put in its place. Riders will be tilted forwards slightly before the drop.2016- New flying coaster on its own island. This island will include a flat ride. Island will be very well landscaped. Ride will include near misses with the land, will go through tunnels and go over the lake and small rivers that will have been created on the island. Will include a splashdown effect whilst riders are on their backs.2017- Thorpe park announce that the contract for SAW will be renewed for another 5 years, as long as more theming is added in 2018 to make it a better experiance.And thats all I can think of for now, may edit later if I think of anything more!
May 19, 200916 yr comment_56144 Oh dear, rushing posts is not a good idea... What I meant was...2010: Colossus repaint, no new rides. Entrance re-done.2011: New woodie on Treasure Island annouced. New flat on Fungle spot.2012: New woodie, 2 new flats plus a FN maze.2013: Arena taken out for a new flat or two if Fungle area has not had a flat added.Sorry about that...
May 19, 200916 yr comment_56145 Oh right! I was thinking that hoping for 2 woodies in two years is slightly optimistic!
May 20, 200916 yr comment_56199 They should convert the arena into a permanent structure and have one huge Maze for Fright Nights in there, as well as the other 3 (The Asylum, Hellgate and the Curse)
May 20, 200916 yr comment_56206 I think detonator should be replaced with a much taller drop tower.. Detonator is small for a drop ride
May 20, 200916 yr comment_56226 I think detonator should be replaced with a much taller drop tower.. Detonator is small for a drop rideRemember the 115ft height limit...
May 20, 200916 yr comment_56227 Remember the 115ft height limit...yeahhI reckon Thorpe could find away around it... they did with Stealth:)
May 20, 200916 yr comment_56231 There is a 395ft drop tower in Australia... having that in Thorpe would be AMAZING - but the damn height limit is damn annoying. Hopefully an exception could be made for the second time.
May 20, 200916 yr comment_56232 Well I've been on Hurakan Condor, and errm..it's really not that great. The drop is nowhere near as forceful as Detonator's, and after about 2 seconds I'm already bored of the drop. Higher drops doesn't mean a better ride. And Stealth was only allowed because of its track colour.
May 20, 200916 yr comment_56236 Higher isn't necessarily better, like Dan said. I've ridden Apocalypse and Ice Blast which are both taller than Detonator yet Detonator is easily the most forceful / enjoyable one.

You can forget a 395 drop tower.

And Stealth was only allowed because of its track colour.It's not necessarily the height that doesn't make Hurakan Condor as good, you have to keep in mind that they are two completely different types of drop towers.
May 21, 200916 yr comment_56260 Since when is the height ceiling being removed in 2016?I dont see why it would be
May 21, 200916 yr comment_56262 What I meant, was that Thorpe can't build another 200ft-ish (115ft+) coaster till 2016. They said they won't build another coaster that height till the LTDP runs out.
May 21, 200916 yr comment_56264 What I meant, was that Thorpe can't build another 200ft-ish (115ft+) coaster till 2016. They said they won't build another coaster that height till the LTDP runs out.ohh... ok.. I wonder what that coaster could be...
May 21, 200916 yr comment_56282 Someone called Darren Shears said that Thorpe said they were planning for:2012: Woodie2016: HypercoasterAnd in-between would be not much but some flat rides if anything
May 22, 200916 yr comment_56355 What I meant, was that Thorpe can't build another 200ft-ish (115ft+) coaster till 2016. They said they won't build another coaster that height till the LTDP runs out.No, they won't get another 200ft-ish coaster unless the height restriction is lifted. And I don't see that happening personally.And can you please stop saying 'they said'. When did they say this? Who said this? Where did they say this? You can't just keep saying 'they said' unless you have a valid source and backup to confirm what you're saying, otherwise it's hard to believe you. Many things are said on forums which aren't correct and all the time people's excuse is 'they said it'. And not everyone is going to know who Darren Shears is. I don't really know who is either, so how are you expecting people to believe you by just saying 'Darren Shears said it'?
May 22, 200916 yr comment_56361 Well I'm not one of those people who make things up: :)Thorpe said they don't plan to build another 200ft-ish coaster until 2016 which is when the LTDP runs out. This was said in 2006.The Darren Shears part, was that he talked to Thorpe Park management and that's what they told him.
May 22, 200916 yr comment_56362 yeahhI reckon Thorpe could find away around it... they did with Stealth:)Stealth was an exception.
