Re: Thorpe Park
Hahaha me too ;D
It is strange that the season seemed to start so promising, some great ideas like Summer Nights and a couple of improvements maze wise, but after that they seemed to find reverse gear quick.
How can you have an attraction like that in London and NOT be a success, surely it has to be harder to mess up?

Re: Thorpe Park
I'm not really up on Thorpes planning rules (does it have and general development orders?) but if anything substantial was coming would planning applications have been submitted?
My guess is a few small family flats if anything, would help them with rebalancing their brand. Maybe an Octopus Garden retheme

Re: Thorpe Park
I can see Thorpe getting a woodie at some point, certainly before Towers. However whether this would be a traditional woodie or an RMC hybrid is debatable. I personally think that a woodie at either Towers or Thorpe would be successful, as long as it is marketed correctly.

Re: Thorpe Park
That's because over half the comments on that post are from drooling enthusiasts.
While this may be a bit of informal market research, I believe all of Thorpe's social media output is now outsourced (and is a lot better for it) so this could just be something random, that the park have no idea about.

Re: Thorpe Park
Here's the problem: thorpe don't have much room. They have a couple of islands, but once these are filled, they have to start bulldozing or selling coasters they have. So, if they don't think a woodie would work, then, if proved right (which wouldn't t happen, but I talking about thorpe looking ahead), the woodie would have to go within a decade. So, if thorpe looked ahead, with their views I find it unlikely that the woodie will be built.
Don't think ahead, thorpe!
