RideAddict Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 *sigh* We'll never get a woodie. I'm very sure of that. Whatever it is you can guarantee it will have black track. I hope not, I'm winging for a Mr Blobby style track. Pink supports with a yellow track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some rides need a black and grey scheme! What other colours would suit the swarm or Saw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodge2002 Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 It'd be nice to see the Hotel and Coaster together. It'd do wonders for their attendance figures for that year in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPJames Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Whatever it is you can guarantee it will have black track. If it a woodie, a black track wouldn't suit it, surely not?As for the coaster, I don't particularly mind what we see, as long as it is a decent ride. I do agree with a woodie though because it would be the one variation of track type in the park. It will be interesting to see what arrives at the park. I don't think that there are particularly many options left in terms of coaster but these are what I could see thorpe having: Wooden coaster B&M flyer Hyper coaster(B&M) Intamin mega/ giga coaster Dive coaster An intamin zacspin would be an option for an investment at thorpe park but I don't think it would be classed as a 'major' investment.

Coaster Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 The new coaster needs to be a woodie in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted April 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Merged with existing topic. Now that outlaw run is open and appears to have been something of a success I could see them going for something from Rocky Mountain who can provide something a bit different, and I certainly wouldn't complain about that! Looks awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretchy Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Yes Outlaw Run looks amazing. I don't think Thorpe have the room to do a decent attempt at that though. To be honest I think we will see a Shambhala clone (probably spelt wrong). A B&M Hyper can go over everything thus negating the need for space.

Whiteknuckle Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Can the park get permission to go 200ft high again after the sucsess of Stealth? I just want a traditional wooden coaster, no gimmicks, just plenty of airtime, and a decent length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 I wouldn't mind what kind of wooden coaster it was. One like Outlaw Run would certainly be different, and a lot of fun (if Outlaw run is good - I haven't ridden it). I would imagine that a woodie with inversions would be more popular with most guests at Thorpe - but I could be wrong. A traditional woodie would be great as well though, I just hope it isn't another steel coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.S217 Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 I agree Outlaw run type would be fantastic but An Intamin Mega lite or Hyper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RideAddict Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Can the park get permission to go 200ft high again after the sucsess of Stealth? I highly doubt the park would be granted permission again. Stealth was given the go-ahead on a temporary basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EC! Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 If it was temporary wouldn't it mean Stealth would have to be de-constructed some time soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickles Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Lol yes, it is possible for them to apply for it again, they would have to put measures in place like Stealth. It's unlikely that they would do it because of all the measures, if it fit in with the new ride then maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 We'd never see Thorpe apply for a coaster of 200ft plus again as it would require them to have a roller coaster not painted black or grey. ste193 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 We'd never see Thorpe apply for a coaster of 200ft plus again as it would require them to have a roller coaster not painted black or grey. And the airport... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge2002 Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 I remember reading a report a while back that stated they would *consider* another 200fter only after Stealth saw through 10 Years of operation or something like that? Note that this only for planning to be considered, that's no guarantee it'd get approved. And theoretically their ceiling limit due to the airport is something like 1000ft. I'll try and dig out the report that I read this from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holtjammy16 Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 I'd really like to see something to the likes of an intamin aquatrax or mega-lite (I'd prefer something of a B&M equivelant) would be really cool if it was as compact as the Smiler and had alot of airtime hills as well as whatever new and quirky thing thorpe are bound to introduce.

MattyMoo Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 In similar with previous cryptic project names - Odyssey, Dylan, Oily Rag, LC12 - the project name for 2015/16's development is "Project Top Spin" Lolz, anyway, I concur - 2015/16, please please Merlin, no shipping containers, no destruction theme, no option that means that letting a few bits of metal rust in the queue line counts as theming, and no sponsorship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
