First off, I love the look of this. It's cashing in on a theme that has proved quite popular in a lot of films recently (I Am Legend, Cloverfield, District 9 (sort of)) so they've got the popularity there and they're building something a bit meatier than the likes of Saw and Thirteen.
Now onto my grovel. Is no-one else slightly peeved at the fact that they're building all these new 'islands' as they call them and yet all they're putting on them is coasters? Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled to bits that we're getting something that looks worthwhile here and I'm actually quite a fan of Saw, but I just wish Thorpe would add something else?
I also realise that in a short space of time they plonked down a LOT of flat rides, but I can see something like the topspin at Phantasialand fitting in really well with this theme, seems a waste to me to theme a whole island and then only have one ride.
Moan over though, hopefully it's going to be awesome. Merlin's attempts at theming just seem to be getting better and better and hopefully this will be no exception. Huzzah!
