Thorpe Park Discussion Thread

For being a relatively short ride it seems like it's going to pack a punch. I particularly like how the first dive/drop makes it look like you are going to go into the water.

Those trains are amazing!

If you use the scroll wheel to scroll up and down quickly on that last picture, it looks like the train is dancing!

Now the reports of missing limbs has made Yahoo's front page. Do you think the author's of these articles realize it was a spoof/fake article created by the marketing department?

27 days until I ride this thing! I can't wait to give it a try, although I am not expecting much... It'll be a fun ride for sure, but I am not expecting it to blow me away by any means.

Man, it does hit the two zero-Gs veeery slow. But the theming looks like it'll make for some great interactions!

[cal1br3ttoWhy do I still have a donkey title???]

I'd forgotten how photogenic those trains are. They've pulled the theming off well, too; love that plane headchopper!

[ReuschiniDid my donkey title just change???]

Do you think the author's of these articles realize it was a spoof/fake article created by the marketing department?

Nope.

People in the reporting business should just stay the hell away from discussing theme parks. They literally have no clue what they're talking about a majority of the time, and that misinformation gets spread to the general public. Irresponsible news-reporting IMO.

If that was the stance reporters took, there would be no news anywhere on any subject.

No, and while it was a humorous story the park came up with, as soon as I heard about it I knew this was bound to happen. They can release a new story about how the first one was totally fake but there will still be people that believe it and will refuse to ride the coaster.
