Chzywotsit Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 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 Cornflakes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPGG Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 As if they need any more food outlets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 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.

alexander Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 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?

daboywunda Posted March 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 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..

uk30 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Benin Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 ?When Cedar Fair took over Paramount they couldn't use the Tomb Raider name...

Lewis. Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Bubbles1 Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Although that looks exciting. We can hope that happens, but where would it go, if they try to put it near to the swarm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidders Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 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.

thorpeparkjack Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Merlin did it for SAW and KRAKE, so I would not be at all suprised.Edit: Maybe Saw Alive will be rethemed to SWARM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidders Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 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.
