TPJames Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Verdict on what? This guy in 2013 ride is saying it will be X refurb... The evolution.. I think we are going to see X refurb, apparently it is going to be sponsored by MTV or MOS(ministry of sound) however I wouldn't like to see a clubbing ride! Until we get a further clue, I don't think we can truly make out what it is, I knew thorpe's clues would be difficult not telling us much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, if this is what it is going to become then I would rather it stayed as X:/ No Way Out. Let's just hope that "Evolution" is a theme rather than something to do with music/clubbing. Although it might not even be an X refurb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it might not even be an X refurb. What would be the difference? A coaster, in the dark, with loud music playing and flashing lights? It already has no theme / a night club theme. If they just did it well instead of having one loud distorted speaker and rather knackered lighting, and it had a nightclub sponsorship/theme, how could that not be an improvement?

AstroDan Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Euro Mir Rave required. Is it just me or does Thorpe Park in recent years seem to have been entirely desperate on non-major installation years? Unless the park installs a big coaster, they seem to have no idea...

Craaig Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Wasn't X:/ originally themed around a computer virus or something of the like? And maybe not computer viruses, but biological viruses do evolve... Yeah I know where my money's placed for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant with the old X:/ No Way Out theming and soundtrack. But actually it could work I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 I think maybe a huss top spin would be a really good addition to the park. Coaster and Tom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPJames Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Really? I would love a wind-seeker type ride or shake&roll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 A windseeker is very unlikely to happen at Thorpe. It would have to break or at least be near to Stealth's height to be of any relevance (something which is very unlikely to pass planning permission, at least until after 2016) and doesn't really appeal to Thorpe's target market, as it is not a thrill ride as such, more a fun height observation ride. Personally I think that as long as it included fountain effects and at least a bit of theming (Similar to Rameses or Ripsaw) that a topspin would fit in really well at Thorpe. Quite where though I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidders Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Let's have a Top-Spin in every area, and another fitted onto the back of The Swarm's trains. MarkC and Dan9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 An evolution... I think it's either a re-theme of XNWO or a maze themed to the Swarm about science, genetics and alien life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's either a re-theme of XNWO or a maze themed to the Swarm about science, genetics and alien life Could be a maze about the swarm with cool effects etc. it could also have veagence in the actual maze just like the London dungeon did...

Mark9 Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 What is your obsession with Vengeance Thorpe Park = ). It's a crummy ride at best which Thorpe can do much better then. Ricky and Smidget 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPJames Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 I'm not sure to be honest Thinking about it the throughput would also be rubbish making the ride even worse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
