March 24, 201213 yr comment_135015 Anyone want to see the aforementioned fence that's been put around MHFS? What a stupid question, everyone wants to!
March 25, 201213 yr comment_135025 Hi everyone sorry but I'm new to this forum correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Thorpe outline in their MDTP that they wanted to extend the Nemesis shop to incorporate a food outlet ? Maybe that's what they are doing
March 25, 201213 yr comment_135026 Welcome to the forum Chzywotsit :PWhat you said does sound kind of familiar but I don't think it was the Nemesis shop, but the Nemesis workshop.Having said that, I have just looked at their MTDP and behind the Inferno shop it says 'fast food restaurant' so you could be right....Still, what do I know
March 25, 201213 yr comment_135042 Arn't they trying to gradually remove all the fast food chains like KFC and Burger King and replace them with their own merlin brands?If so I can't see the need for a new food outlet.
March 25, 201213 yr comment_135055 Yeah, Chessie needs another Thorpe hand-me-down like it needs a bloody hole in the head...Besides, it already has Buccaneer...I was joking I wish Chessington had some more share of the investment it really is depressing Anwyay Thorpe, anyone have ideas which could be a new unique flat?

March 25, 201213 yr Author comment_135072 It's definitely a "Don't Look At Me" Fence.. That's for sure. They were planning on extending the shop of Inferno for a fast food place, but I can't picture whether the fence goes along far enough to suggest this.. It's possible..
March 29, 201213 yr comment_135338 I would love to see a giant top spin next year but theme inside like tomb raider the ride at Kings Island usa or maybe a http://www.hussrides.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=98&Itemid=152 would look great next to nemesis as I think its going to be the next place to have a ride built

Would love to see that put in place just as themed as it is in the pictures. Quite a decent capacity too and would be really good for Thorpe
March 30, 201213 yr comment_135368 Shame it doesn't exist like that anymore... It's literally now a ride in a shed with NO theming inside past the queue... Hell, if the control box light is on you see right into the console...It's quite bad...

Hell, if the control box light is on you see right into the console...It's quite bad...?As for the HUSS Delirium, I've already said it before: people are seriously underestimating the ride's size. Think about it - 100m2 and 141ft tall. That's put it as the second-tallest structure at Thorpe. No other flat ride at Thorpe even comes close to that footprint; no other ride in the world in fact. The ride's enormous footprint, paired with the power required to run it and it's low capacity (it may hold 64 people per ride, but it'd take about 5+ minutes to load and offload), are the reasons no park in the world has bought one since it was introduced in 2009. In fact, only one of HUSS' Giant Rides has really taken off - the Giant Frisbee/Giant Frisbee 55. Comparatively, there are some Giant Top-Spins and at least one Jump2, but no Deliriums.
March 30, 201213 yr comment_135380 ?When Cedar Fair took over Paramount they couldn't use the Tomb Raider name... The one at Kings Island had the theming within the ride building completely gutted... It was a bitterly disappointing ride as it didn't really do much either... Even with Midnight Syndicate music playing in the queue...
March 30, 201213 yr comment_135382 I genuinely thought you were talking about X: No Way Out and had posted in the wrong topic there for a minute Benin :PRegarding the restaurant being built there, is there much point with the BBQ place being literally a stones throw away? Unless they move the BBQ place over there and build a new ride/attraction in that space, it's quite a large area isn't it?
March 30, 201213 yr comment_135389 When Cedar Fair took over Paramount they couldn't use the Tomb Raider name... The one at Kings Island had the theming within the ride building completely gutted... It was a bitterly disappointing ride as it didn't really do much either... Even with Midnight Syndicate music playing in the queue...Ah I'm with you now! Had no idea what you were referring to at first; same as Lewish - I thought you were talking about X:No Way Out. But the Midnight Syndicate did throw me off... Ooft, Midnight Syndicate
March 30, 201213 yr comment_135392 Well I can't have been talking about NWO cos it NEVER had any theming in the first place now did it?
April 1, 201213 yr comment_135504 This isn't at all confirmation as this is from the early plans for THE SWARM, so things may of changed?
April 1, 201213 yr comment_135506 This isn't at all confirmation as this is from the early plans for THE SWARM, so things may of changed?Oh I know, but it's a discussion point, right?
April 1, 201213 yr comment_135507 Although that looks exciting. We can hope that happens, but where would it go, if they try to put it near to the swarm?
April 1, 201213 yr comment_135509 The MTDP outlined an "Experience" that would be situated adjacent to the Flying Fish in coming developing years. It's most likely that this is what has been planned, even if those concepts are out-dated; I expect to see a Swarm-related ride for 2013.
April 1, 201213 yr comment_135510 Merlin did it for SAW and KRAKE, so I would not be at all suprised.Edit: Maybe Saw Alive will be rethemed to SWARM?
April 1, 201213 yr comment_135511 How? Thorpe Belle is on the other side of the park and has been for years. It wouldn't make sense to have such closely linked rides separated by 500 acres of land.Is it just me, or is anyone else getting a bit miffed at the number of medium' investments which are basically bolt-ons of past rides' success? SAW Alive, Krake's maze and Sub-Terra just have a whiff of laziness about them, whether or not they're done well. I'd just like to see more medium investments that stood their own ground.
