Sidders Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Stealth backwards confirmed. With two added loops. Nah mate, s'gonna be a Vekoma Boomerang on top of the dome. A lol at Forp when Kingda Ka would still be 1ft taller even with a 250ft extension for Stealth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge2002 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Evolution of a ride...No way evolving in to a real dark ride? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 The evolution of a thrill park into a tacky resort!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saz Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 I'm pretty confident it will relate to Swarm somehow. Thorpe want to ensure their investment in Swarm pays off, so the best thing they can do is add/retheme a ride which will further advertise it.

d.m.k Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 I'm with Saz on this one. I'm pretty sure that Merlin have some two-year marketing technique when it comes to all major investments. That would mean that they would want to continue emphasis on The Swarm into 2013. Although I'm stating this, I have no idea what this "evolution" could be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickles Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Still going to point out that Thorpe said supriseS Thorpe Park official: 'Ready for your first clue about our plans for this year? Well here it is....''Are you brave enough to experience the evolution?' Sounds like an X retheme! More to come guys wait a little bit for some more before trying to guess =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holtjammy16 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 May I ask what Vengeance actually is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikhilSharma Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Evolution seems like a club name to me.. My thought that it's something to do with XNWO. Could be that X is called evolution and feature a club theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 May I ask what Vengeance actually is? Vengeance is a ride at the London Dungeons - a 5D cinema with all the seats on a floor that spins while you shoot the ghosts on the screen. (Except that the guns don't work.) http://www.the-dungeons.co.uk/london/en/attractions/vengeance-5d-ride.htm Vengeance is not moving when the Dungeons change location, hence why so many people reckon that Vengeance will go to Thorpe. Based on the first clue I am thinking that an X:/ No Way Out retheme is the most likely thing. holtjammy16 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldFarmerDean Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 when their website says surprises... I'm thinking re theme of x no way out, and vengance 5d themed around the swarm, being evolution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjh123horry Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 This is a real long shot, but maybe take Mrs Fungles Safari's track and cars, retheme the cars, and attach guns and have it that you are battling the Swarm that way? Could explain the whole evolution thing andnthat as well, but like I said, its a long shot.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPJames Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Evolution seems like a club name to me.. My thought that it's something to do with XNWO. Could be that X is called evolution and feature a club theme. I would hate it to be a club theme! It has been rumoured to either be sponsored by MTV or Ministry of sound. This would make it a clubbing theme but I really don't want X to be a club ride, they barely would have to refurb it as is already a club ride(with their strobes and music etc.) It is also said that the trains will be turned forwards, with new restraints but I really don't want the trains turned forwards I guess we are probably seeing an X refurb but we could always get more than one thing, hence "SUPRISES" so I am keeping my eyes out for veagence because that could be the new ride and an X refurb could be just changing the carts around, giving a new name and sponsoring it by either MOS or MTV! The other option would be that they are actually taking the 'evolution' style ride from Camelot theme park(closed down last year) and they would be leaving the name as 'evolution' I doubt this will happen though!

MarkC Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 SPOILER ALERT The evolution is that you can now buy Fast track tickets to jump the Fast track ticket booth queue. Bubbles1, BigBobJones, Topsyturvy15 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess your right, we never know. X is a Vekoma Enigma coaster, the only of it's type. The park would be stupid to turn the trains around and lose their title.. I think a club theme would be good, Loud music, smoke, lighting and strobes would do the ride justice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mah boi Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Seeing as how Alton towers are getting a updated version of enterprise, I think thorpe will give zodiac a update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBobJones Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Now if only Google Earth/Google maps + Streetview was live, it would be nice to be able to zoom in and see any clues. Do we know any pilots so we can do what TT have done? holtjammy16 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topsyturvy15 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Maybe Thorpe will sell more and cheaper fast track tickets so everyone can enjoy fast queues! Plus another surprise is that all rides will be getting fast track queues, and the toilets too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
