Mark9 Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 The Bear Hunt which opened on Saturday is a look out for bears through the Canadian Rockies.. so what do you think of the Canada Creek alterations and the attraction itself?I thought it was bloody excellent and Tussauds first real attempt at theming at the park since Tidal Wave. Considering it seemed to be a last minute thing, it's really been pulled of nicely. Its a bit short but considering its using something that otherwise would have been left blank its a great little ride that Families will enjoy.

Con Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Is the train that goes around Canada Creek? I still think the level crossings are going to be to frequent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 At the moment there are 6 bears around the track as they signs say but more a yet to arrive at the park to give a total of ten.It was quite fun going round the track though and counting the bears. This comming from a 17 year old. Reminded me of those places kids go were you have to spot items around the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theme Park bloke Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Discuss Thorpe's Canada Creek Railway here!Personally, I think it's a shame it was ever shortened. The route from the farm to Canada Creek where it went behind Burger King was the most exciting part, and the waft you got from BK was lovely. I see that for this year only (whilst it's closed), the bears from the railway are scattered around Loggers Leap. I take it they'll be returning to the railway next year?Also, along near Nemesis Inferno, I see the railway has not only long gone, but the landscaping has been done so well that newcomers to Thorpe would never have known it went down there! Is it all gone and well landscaped behind Burger King, and right the way to the farm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theme Park bloke Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 Over the closed season, will they be putting the railway back in that they removed? And does anyone know if it will open with the main season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenVig Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 I wouldnt have thought so, maybe I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 From what I've seen, the loop around Canada Creek will be reopened, but will be slightly rerouted around the Saw area. Photo opportunities much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theme Park bloke Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 From what I can see from Samurai, the CCR goes directly underneath a section of Saw track. Cool!Can much of Saw be seen from Monks Walk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 I've not been down Monks Walk since Saw has been there but I'd imagine the view will be the same as if you were standing next to the CCR station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4n Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 I can't wait for this to re-open. It's one of the best child orientated rides in the country and the opportunity to take photos of SAW from the ride will hopefully make it even more popular Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkaddict Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Did the Canada Creek Railway always go through a 'tunnel' section?Or am I just majorly misinterpreting this photo (it's from the latest SAW construction photo update) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 That photo is an off shoot which is used as maintenance access to Loggers Leap Lift 1, to do essential maintenance such as changing conveyor belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Why do the train tracks go into it then [n00b] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 So they can put all the equipment and parts on a train trailer thing, and drive it into the tunnel, rather than carry it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
