Ultimate Coaster said:no one here is saying Thorpe made a stupid business decision. We're just expressing from our point of view - enthusiasts - that the theme is disappointing and, from it sounds like from those that have been to Thorpe, "typical Thorpe."
You don't have to keep defending the park, because their business sense is NOT at question here.

Then we saw the track go up and decided it actually looked pretty good, probably the best Eurofighter layout so far.
spicy said:God the levels of negativity throughout most posts on the latest pages of this topic are rediculous, is this an entusiasts site or a site where you just moan your arse off?
AGREED , AGREED AGREED!spicy said:And about the whole SAW theme as well I have said to people I know that aren't interested in coasters have you seen Thorpe's new ride? they said no not really interested, when I said it was SAW the ride they were immediately interested and wanted to know more.
The themes going to work, definitely.
gavin said:So let me get this right:
When we found out it was "just" a Eurofighter, we hated it.
Then we saw the track go up and decided it actually looked pretty good, probably the best Eurofighter layout so far.
Then we hear one word, "Saw," and it's back to being a crap coaster again.
Just making sure I was keeping up to speed...
