I assume that they are going to paint the station building when it's been constructed as I really don't like that colour, it needs to be darker. They've still got three months to finish it so I'll make a proper judgement then.

The latest theming to be released is looking impressive! I really don't think any corners will be cut with this project!

Head chopper and a half!

Corners can't be cut - because it's a big budget and a film studio.

That looks awesome.

This is the type of thing that could make Thorpe have some decent rides!

Possibly. But Thorpe's major issue is not the rides.

Well it is, there not looked after. hahaha.
But know what you mean - they need better customer service, better planning of Q's and fast track etc.. and maintain the rides better to keep them open to eat the Q's and sort their chavness out.

But i think this is the start of Merlins actions showings. Well Battle Gals was good i thought but not top quality, which this is going to be....

This might attualy be a coaster i scream on in fear! Not coz of the speed/height, but coz of the terror. I screamed on "The Mummy" ride at Universal and is the only coaster i screamed on (apart from when i was little and kids scream on coastes) but yeah... it is looking top quality - dare i say it, that im jelace towers aint getting anything this scary, this may top Oblivion.

Another ride should help reduce the queues for the existing rides though.

Hmmm, not necessarily it will just cause more park flow problems and complaints :(

And aren't Twisted Pictures putting their name and rep on the line by signing up with thorpe? :P

dare I saw this looks quite good?
I still wont go because thorpe has a horrible reputation that I'm not willing to compromise the distance for such a crap place.

But lets see how the season progress' and i'll have another look, but this does look a very interesting ride.

That is not a recreation!
this is not the same as the ride in Thorpe Park and is our own layout and scenery.
This project was made by myself and Leighton using NoLimits.

said it before and will say it again - Merlin/Thorpe Park know what there doing now. This is looking ace and is going to be the start of Thorpe Park kicking ass. I really hope Towers SW6 is up to the same standard!
