Thorpe Park |"The Swarm"| B&M Wing Coaster

I guess its hard to tell because that new picture is taken from the other side.

I am glad they have built the land up so the engine doesn't actually look like its sat on a support though

 

[TP Rich]

I think I've decided which side I'm going to be sitting on. O.O

I think the bending you're seeing is the shape of the back of the wing. It has an angle in it and in the screenshot above does look like a bend. They might have dug down a bit? Is there more leg room there?

Why does the bottom right corner of that picture look like MSPaint sneezed on it?

It's because there wasn't any clear shot without having anything from the studio interfering it. I had to use MS paint quickly to remove the drum kit which was there.

 

[the king]

A big mess.

Dunno why people hate on their park maps, they are pretty fab I think. At least it's actual illustration and not bollocks 3D crap or pixel art.

 

[Martyn B]

I like it. It screams "FUN" to me.

However, if I hadn't been before, and I wanted to use that to get around, then yeah, it is kinda useless.

Fortunately, you don't really need a map at Thorpe, you just look for whatever ride you want to go on, and walk towards it, BOOM, there in 5 minutes...

Good point because the map can be extremely incorrect.
I still prefer the old ones (2003/2004 season map)

B&M have finally updated their website. Just thought it would be interesting to mention.

 

[iblamefish]

Umm, is it just me or have they photoshopped out the trim on the picture of raptor at the top left?

</offtopic>

 

[Hixee]

I think the horrendous photoshopping of the foreground/background is more important than the photoshopped trim...

I love the fact they removed that annoying trip in the picture lol.

- Battered Fish and Chips
- Roast and Relish
- Wild Wings Noodle Bar
- Clothes Cabin
- Storm Surge Donuts (potential rename of 'Donut Shack'?)
- Dedicated Smoking Areas

Hmm... I think that's about it for this year. Oh, and THE SWARM, of course.

I cannot even remember the last time I looked at a uk park map.

I cannot wait to see them impose the smoking areas at Thorpe lol.

Looks like differences in weather, season and angle to me. You can faintly see the mountains in the background and you can see trees in the foreground in both pics, they would have grown a bit between the time the two pics were taken

 

[TP Rich]

Coupled with the fact that the break trims have miraculously disappeared, then yes. This is definately photoshopped.

 

[corranator]

I was looking at the map and I saw the onride photo sign, I was just wondering if anyone knew where the camera is?

 

[the king]

There has been no mentioning of where the cameras will be, but its mostly going to be where the plane wing is, or after the zero g role.

During the inline would be a great place, you don't see many ORP's taken whilst you're upside down.
