Slightly disappointed. I never actually went there and I know it was nothing special but the fact that the UK has lost yet ANOTHER theme park is upsetting. Hope someone grabs the Knightmare. As for the rest, meh!

Re: Thorpe Park Hotel (sort of!) Again, that is just a lame excuse about testing if there is a need for a hotel. Two completely different levels of quality. I would feel a bit embarrassed to sleep in one of those units if it was at Thorpe. Events I understand, but a Theme Park? Whatever, it is...

Re: Thorpe Park Hotel (sort of!) Great idea, terrible location. I mean is this really going to put them in the best light. Just build a proper hotel and be done with it. Nice idea if it was for a temporary event there, but as a yearly hotel, no. Still in a way Thorpe and Merlin are known for...

Re: Scenic Railway in Margate news It certainly will be good to have the Scenic back in business again. As for the Mouse and Water chute, they will sadly be emerging in the park at a later date when funding becomes available. Obviously the Scenic is a restoration, as is the Wild Mouse. The...

Re: Scenic Railway in Margate news Hi, I am new here but have followed this forum for some time now. Anyway, the above list is pretty much correct. Just a few corrections. The main mechanical parts and boats for the Water Chute (Rhyl) River Caves mechanical parts/water wheel and boats. The...
