I really do feel for Thorpe Park on this whole fiasco. Must've been such a frustrating situation for everyone involved!
Hopefully it will be back up and running with no more issues soon, and I'm sure they will have a great summer!
I did see this on Twitter earlier though which did make me...
POV released by Disney.
I know the re-theme has been highly controversial within the Disney community, so as an outsider who has no connection to Splash Mountain (Not ridden it)... this looks incredibly dull and lazy in places!
The ride looks fantastic, and I'm sure will ride amazingly too!
I do have to say though... for going to such lengths theming the ride in most places... it feels a little odd that the turntable section essentially is housed in a tin shed that wouldn't look out of place at a Merlin park... or do...
I think you're definitely on to something there, as I did see from one of Merlin's tweets that it says a new 'Colour Changing Design'.... so it seems very plausible that it will glow in the dark. Either that... or maybe they've used some Hydrochromic ink which changes color when wet. But I think...
Fun video and nice to see the effort going in, however my initial reaction to seeing the track is... that I don't like it.
It does look a bit tacky, and I do wonder whether that kind of illustration would've been better going up the supports, rather than onto the track itself. (Not to say that...
There were a couple more photographs posted on their Facebook page, and it seems that there's potentially a small double down on the hill before the first turnaround which could be quite fun! Definitely great to see work going into Megafobia!

It's lovely to see work being done around the park, but I'm a little worried to see Spooky 3D completely stripped back to bare walls... only because the revamp budget is probably small, and there's only so much you can achieve! I hope I'm proved wrong and that they pull it off with some great...
I'm really impressed with this layout, especially given it's a family coaster and Merlin-owned! (Seems very unexpected but in a fantastic way)
I'm looking forward to seeing it in motion now and how it travels along the elements! I love the color too! Very reminiscent of Galactica / Air in the...
This is giving me Cowboys & Aliens vibes... admittedly I've not even seen the film, but when I saw it was in the wild west area, and then this futuristic teaser... it instantly made me think of that film, and then when I googled it, the font branding definitely looks similar. But i guess it...
Bringing it to a less serious note again for a second, my initial thoughts wandered to 'The Conjuring 2' as the IP with the 'This is My House' line, but yeah it's highly unlikely to be anything to do with that.
But back to a serious note again, I agree with what most have said here really...
It might haven been mentioned before... but I'm really curious to know what will be on top on both sides? The four large square rods must be there to hold something significant in place surely?
I've been in and out of this topic for months, just staying optimistic with the whole thing.... my thoughts now however...
As pretty much everyone has pointed out, the 'Worlds First' element, is an absolute stretch! Im quite amazed that they've even tried to sell it as a worlds first...
Going...
But you will find everyone differs in opinion. For some people Hex is their favourite Alton ride... And so on... The point I'm making is that for some people this has the potential to become their favourite Alton ride... I'm not saying it's for everyone. Some people dislike rides as intense as...
I'm quite surprised how negative many of the responses have been on here regarding this coaster!
Granted it won't be the best ride in the world, however let's remember it replaces a log flume that had definitely seen it's best days, and took up quite a lot of space! It's understandable for...
