Re: Thorpe Park
Another of the pictures of Track Inspection showed a 360° Themed Attractions van outside X/The Passing. Any thoughts as to why? Initial thought would be that they are making changes to the Passing, but surely it'd be too early on for this to be happening. Maybe it's got something to do with the rumoured X re-theme?

I wish I had got a bloody photo! It literally was changed about an hour ago!
My keyboard refused to type the obscenities I just wrote!

Re: Thorpe Park
Or a human error but geeks are so quick off the mark they had no chance to rectify before it was spread around.
We forget we put these parks under more scrutiny than a lot of companies get.

Re: Thorpe Park
Ah, now that's just depressing. The minute I saw it'd increased to 10:30pm, I'd tripled my planned visits. Now it's reverted to 9pm, looks like it'll be just the one visit as per usual.

Re: Thorpe Park
The fact that someone would have had to go into and change the open times for fright nights only suggests to me something may be changing, just not finalised yet, 9pm was too early last year.
If this was just after the open times were released i could accept it was just a cock up, but seeing as theyve been out ages and fright nights was the only thing to change i suspect somthing may well change.

Re: Thorpe Park
The planning documents for the new 'Billboard' near-miss scenery element for The Swarm have been submitted. I must say it looks a lot bigger than I thought it would. Should also provide that tight squeeze feel that The Swarm was missing compared to Raptor.

I've tried to view the documents but all I get is:
Is this because of us? Damn geeks!

Re: Thorpe Park
After reading the application, oh dear Thorpe, looks like you need to get your act together before Mr Varney intervenes! The Swarm really has been a flop for Thorpe but I'm really not sure turning it backwards and adding some additional theming is going to give the results they want. New theming is great though!
