Park Map 2011 And Storm Surge

[Jack R]

I was just wondering if anybody knows what the Thorpe Park 2011 Map looks like. I'm expecting it to be similar to last years, but I'd like to see the addition of Storm Surge. Forgive me If I'm wrong, but I seem to remember the map being released before Annual Pass Day and the Official Opening in 2010. Does anybody have a link or source where I can find it (if it's been released yet that is )Secondly, does anybody know if Storm Surge will be open for tomorrow (Annual Pass Day) I have 5 people coming with me who all want to ride it, so it would nice to be able to know before the actual event.Thanks, Jack

I expect it will be uploaded at somepoint during the day. It is out.

[Mr.man]

Will someone post the map up when they get it.

Hate the map.Storm surge isn't even facing the right way!

[JoshC.]

I hate the fact that Storm Surge basically takes up the same space as Colossus. Yeah, it's new, but it's not THAT major!!

Neither is loggers, saw alive, and pretty much everything else? It's been like this all last year. xDAlso, the entrance bridge to the 'new coaster 2012' is in the wrong place.It's not exactly an OS map, but it gets the jobs done. :DAnd thank god SS is definitely in the Thrilling and fun category. xD

[Whiteknuckle]

I too hate the new map. Looks like it was drawn by a 10 year old.

[Phyciodes]

Lol it ain't that bad, more of an extravagent, eye spectacle than anything to be taken too seriously

[coaster_monkey]

So market research brought us this, is this what the GP like/asked for? ...also, why does everybody on the map have down syndrome?

[Ryan]

Well it's basically the same as last years...

[Coaster XTREME]

It is the same as last years...but with Storm Surge and the LC12 island added to it.

To be honest with you it took me a while to spot Storm Surge, not exactly eye-catching.

[noob230]

Well, know there are only 2 fastrack shops: The Dome and Nemesis Inferno.What happened to the ones near Tidal, Colossus and Stealth?

[Benin]

The LC12 island is in the wrong place...Thorpe

From what I've seen it's the complete opposite when you actually get to the park, I'll be trying to block it out of my view!Map is identical to last year with the minor mentioned tweaks. It's a shame Merlin can't/won't align it's 3 major parks maps to all be same using Alton's as the benchmark due to the level of detail fitted in or Chessie's which is very pleasing to the eye.

Well yeah, but I was talking about the map...

[TimmyJimmy86]

If you look close enough at storm surge on the map it looks like there is a boat which has crashed into the roof of one of the buildings in that area, Now wouldn't that look good if they actually did this or saying that have they over the past week ?

[electricBlll]

I fear you are about to be disappointed.

[TimmyJimmy86]

I guess it is still just as bad then, I only wish they could of put some effort into this ride after all they have all of the closed season to work there (magic).

[JoshC.]

^The majority of closed season was spent more building the ride than anything.Remember, 3 weeks of snow / extremely cold weather, plus Christmas break, probably means they weren't working for nearly a month and a half! If the ride area is not even finished by AP day, then I don't think theming and that will be high on their list...
