December 17, 201014 yr comment_105033 LOVING the end of the world theme !! Hope they keep that for the ride <3
December 17, 201014 yr comment_105037 LOVING the end of the world theme !! Hope they keep that for the ride <3Though it might be kind of awkward when the ride re-opens with the park for the 2013 season.
December 17, 201014 yr comment_105040 I wonder if this codename actually resembles anything, it could turn out to be something stupid like Dylan being Candy Holland's cat! Can't wait to find out more!
December 17, 201014 yr comment_105045 LC12 - I immeadiatly though 'Large Coaster 2012'. :)Why do I smell an Oblivion style marketing / theme? XD
December 17, 201014 yr comment_105046 This looks well cool I'm guessing it will be themed around a nuclear wasteland :)or somethine like that ooo I wonder if its going to be an indoor coaster thorpe really needs one
December 17, 201014 yr comment_105048 This looks well cool I'm guessing it will be themed around a nuclear wasteland :)or somethine like that ooo I wonder if its going to be an indoor coaster thorpe really needs one I doubt it will be indoor as Thorpe would want to boast it as much as possible.
December 17, 201014 yr comment_105049 I doubt it will be indoor as Thorpe would want to boast it as much as possible.yh I guess :/ hmm it would be good tho with loads of specail effects :/ ahh well one day, one day...
December 17, 201014 yr comment_105050 I'm guessing it will be themed around a nuclear wasteland :)or somethine like thatIf done properly, this could be mind-blowingly full of awesome. Imagine Fallout 3 / New Vegas being brought to life as a coaster - wow that would be cool
December 17, 201014 yr comment_105052 This looks well cool I'm guessing it will be themed around a nuclear wasteland :)or somethine like that ooo I wonder if its going to be an indoor coaster thorpe really needs one X:/ No Way Out is an indoor coaster though..?
December 17, 201014 yr comment_105053 X:/ No Way Out is an indoor coaster though..?yh I know, ok indoor isnt the right word I just meant like a roller-coaster like the mummy ride in universal studios with lot of theming not plain pitch black with some dodgy plastic robots
December 17, 201014 yr comment_105055 Well, IF it is a B&M, I doubt anyone would put one indoors! Thorpe has X:\NWO, anyway.
December 17, 201014 yr comment_105060 This is so exciting, I hope for a post-apocalyptic/nuclear themed rollercoaster. It would really suit the urban setting of Thorpe Park.
December 17, 201014 yr comment_105065 Damn... I cannot think of something witty to link Thorpe and the End of the World in an amusing manner... As you were folks...Here's to several pages of fanboy speculation, excitement, then disappointment... *raises glass*
December 17, 201014 yr comment_105068 Interesting tactic from Thorpe though.Advertising a ride before planning application is accepted...
December 17, 201014 yr Author comment_105069 Interesting tactic from Thorpe though.Advertising a ride before planning application is accepted...Happens with most rides does it not? Storm Surge rings a bell, Stealth. I guess theres no real reason for it to be refused.
December 17, 201014 yr comment_105070 Though it might be kind of awkward when the ride re-opens with the park for the 2013 season.Haha! I think everythings going to be akward the day it turns 2013!But I kindof meant themed on after the world has ended maybe? Like what Trippy said about the nuclear waste thing
December 17, 201014 yr comment_105071 Or maybe it has absolutely nothing to do with the world 'ending' and will be some form of apocalypse theme?Six Flags are renaming Terminator as Apocalypse... So it's certainly a viable theme, and it probably won't look too different from Staines town centre...
December 17, 201014 yr comment_105072 Happens with most rides does it not? Storm Surge rings a bell, Stealth. I guess theres no real reason for it to be refused.Yep, Storm Surge sure did. Stealth, thought that was first officially advertised when the park opened, but meh. But how can you be so sure that it won't be refused? If locals don't like and kick up a big enough fuss, anything is possible...
December 17, 201014 yr Author comment_105075 Oh of course, but I doubt they would risk looking silly and potentially alot of money if they were not pretty confident of it going ahead
December 17, 201014 yr comment_105076 Is this advertising available to the public ( cant spot it on the website) or is it at TPM exclusive. Because it would be silly to advertise for this before storm surge has even been opened.
December 17, 201014 yr comment_105077 Not really. This will be a big project for something that will open only one a bit years from now, so advertising should begin pretty soon. Storm Surge is a very minor ride.
December 17, 201014 yr Author comment_105078 This is just the Project Name, not officially advertising or anything what would really interest people apart from fans of the park!
December 17, 201014 yr comment_105079 Is this advertising available to the public ( cant spot it on the website) or is it at TPM exclusive. Because it would be silly to advertise for this before storm surge has even been opened.Nope, not on their site as far as I'm aware. However, TPM - being an official link, and appealing to the GP as well as fans - will probably mean the news spreads over Facebook and the like relatively quickly.Not really. This will be a big project for something that will open only one a bit years from now, so advertising should begin pretty soon. Storm Surge is a very minor ride.I don't see the logic in advertising a ride a year before it will open, before the park is open for the preceding season and before they've got confirmation they can build the ride. Of course, I'm assuming that they won't follow this one with others on a regular basis, creating a good story or something, and that they haven't got confirmation they can construct it. Is it possible for a planning application to not be published online with a specific request? You never know, they may have already submitted it in if that's possible...
