Thorpe's New MTDP

Thats what its ment to look like... the rust has been added, you know, to fit in with our lovely New England Fishing village thats been trashed by a tidal wave?

I hope the theming is more extensive than that though... it won't compliment englands best themed area very well...

Hahahaha *facepalm* I think you are all right. :oops:

*add turning into Taylor comment here*

(It's obviously not rust on plastic as some people have suggested. I just thought it was some kind of grime, what with it being a water ride and that)

Guess it will fit into Amity Cove better, but not sure I like it too much

I still can't believe they're actually putting in this ride.

It's because the chavs natural habitat is in grimy water. Whenever I see them at parks, they're queuing for water rides.

So, next year there will be 4 (or 5 if you count Depth Charge) water rides at Thorpe.
Which means that chavs will go on pillgrimages to ride "The Nemesis Inferno" and be generally abusive.

I care about this ride so much that I keep forgetting it even exists.

Yeah...I still reckon it'll stick out like a sore thumb.

^ I forgot too... maybe I was subconciously trying to force it out of my mind...

These things are actually quite fun, but it is going to look HORRENDUS in such a prominent position right infront of you as you enter the park.

It would be good somewhere like Lightwater... but at Thorpe? I was hoping they'd get rid of Depth Charge, not add another ****ing slide!

Lol, epic BUMP here, but I'm sure everyone here would like to see the pain...

This makes me sad =[

Thing is with these rides, if you've never actually been on one I think they look pretty badass. Then you get on it and go 'oh'. The Thorpe_chavs are not going to be impressed with this one methinks.

It looks worse than I thought. I hope they really make up for it next year with their new coaster...
They didn't even had the decency to hide the hideous supports and blend in with the sorroundings.

Lets compare how the ride looked at both parks.

This is the ride at Cypress Gardens:

This is it now at Thorpe:

Depressing. Were they hoping the colours would make up for it being crap?

They better be planning to do a bit more with it than that otherwise I shall be angry.

I know Thorpe won't care if I'm angry, but I will be *shakes fist angrily in Thorpe's direction*

^^^ Although I also think it looks shoddy we should try and be fair when comparing those pictures Ollie posted.

One was taken on in nice bright Florida conditions, from an angle that hides most of the supports. The other was taken in Surrey, in early march, when the building vehicles tire tracks are still visable. It's a poor picture photo-quality wise.

My main question is, where's the canopy at the top of the lift? Did they loose it in the Atlantic somewhere?

Beat me to it! Let's see if it looks as ****ty when it's the middle of the summer and from the same angle. :roll:

Looks alright in the first pic, but they really need to do something around the supports, waaayy to bland, even for Thorpe.

And my god, how over the top is the Dr Pepper ride?! :roll:

That's one ugly mofo right there.

Um. Yeah. It looks more out of place than I thought it would. And that's a lot. I've never ridden one of these before though and the experience is what really matters to me, so if it's fun then I won't be as bothered about what it looks like!

"ERR BRUV DIS IZ SUM WASTEMAN RIDE MAN!" - I can just picture it now...
