Also, Wardley outwardly showed distaste to using the Saw franchise in that interview.-lofty- said:...and he might be working on the SAW Live at Thorpe (especially seeing that he originally started his work with "dark rides").
I see this as very doubtful! Due to a couple of reasons...
1. Although he may have started out with 'dark rides', he is far more known for his expertise in large scale thrilling coasters.
2. A Horror Walkthrough/Scare attraction is ALOT different to a Dark Ride imo, not just for the fact you are minus a car system, bu the whole way it is set out, as in Actors, Backstage areas, Path layout, How close you can get to an audience and many more.
3. If Thorpe/Merlin did need help with creating this attraction, then they would go to a specialised Scare Attraction company, hey I mean, it makes more sense then go to a Layout designer (so to speak).
He did say he's a rides consultant for Merlin, specifically. So I think whatever he's doing for B&M it is for Merlin. Also because of the history he has with them, which he also made a point of covering in the interview.I have no idea if indeed the B&M would be for any of those parks. He might just be working with B&M on a new project, not specially on a park, like what someone said earlier in the topic.
No. As tusenfryd isn't owned by Merlin.Pokemaniac said:Can I throw in TusenFryd in the mix as well? If we're already saying 2012, that's the year when Fryd's tri-annual cycle will start over. From 1998 or thenabouts, they have added a major ride roughly each third year. We saw SpeedMonster in 2006, SpinSpider this year, and 2012 will be the next time we'll see something big (according to interviews).
And the park's Vice CEO has stated on national TV that he thinks a good Inverted Coaster would be the best choice for TusenFryd. Who makes good inverted coasters?
(though, they haven't done in three years).
As likely as Thorpe, isn't it?
Huh? Thorpe doesn't have any land to build on at all, Alton has loads of space (although they're not willing to build there).. But both Heide and Garda are better options "space-wise", that's why I personally think the B&M will be built there. Thorpe really needs to remove some of their rides (eg crappy colossus) to make room for a new impressive coaster, but if they do they might as well be a candidate (especially for the 2012 season).Joey said:Alton don't have as much space to play with...

It's not that Alton aren't willing, it's that they cannot build, basically, where they haven't.andrus said:Huh?

Prehaps is clearly a typo, differculty is phonetically spelt. It's not like those spelling errors are making Jools' posts hard to read. How about you link Jools to a spellchecker? If it bothers you so much.jokerman said:Twice said:prehapsand Jools also said:differculty
Please find a way of getting your spelling correct. Sorry for going off topic, but it makes me cringe reading things like this. I know this isn't really my place to say it, but I find it difficult to consider your opinions seriously when annoying mistakes like these are there.
