guessing the ramps upward are the queue. Ive been watching the construction for a while and I still couldnt even hazard a guess as to what the ride is, Im quite suprised because normally the enthusiast circles know all. Im thinking perhaps a small pre-show, a dark interactive ride with these wands and perhaps the cars will do some sort of drops etc. Id hope if my guess is true the interactive will be more than the p!ss poor uk versions of shoot an LED slapped to the wall, and if the car is capable of doing some sort of drop or whatever it wont be able to do much as I expect this ride to have a low height requiremet as to include families. It makes my head hurt. Much love Ben

cheers rob, your a legend! much love, Ben

Hi guys Been reading TPR for about a year now and finally joined. My name is Benjamin and I live in Rotherham, England. About an hour and a half from my nearest theme park which is Alton Towers. Love alton and Blackpool but Thorpe / Chessy etc are abit too far away and I hear such bad stories of them. Visited Florida a few times and done the disney and universal parks etc. Also done Disney Paris a few years ago. My ideal hits are Tivoli Gardens and Disney Tokyo because they both look beautiful and im a big lover of theming (again why ive never been to thorpe, lol). Other than here I post regularly on TTF (towers times) and love it there. Anyway about me Im 22, married to my lovelly husband Rich and have two amazing kids at 6 and 4 years, work in the emergency operating theatre at my local hospital and like to drink lots of wine and lager. Much love. Benjamin

Hello TPR - long time reader, first time poster! Ive recently been on holiday to visit the in-laws who live in Tenerife (one of the canary islands, off the coast of Africa) which is a big holiday spot for us brits. While there we visited Siam Park, which is a new waterpark over there, I think its been open about 6 months now. We were lucky to hit the park ou of season and on a quiet day so there were no queues and we really hammered this place, it was excellent. Ive brought it to you guys because the theming of this place is beyond incredible, Id go so far as to say it beats the disney water parks in Florida (which ive visted). Also some of the rides are really different and have cool details which you dont expect and certainly impressed me. After having a quick read of the leaflet in the park the building design and scenery was approved by the Dean of Architechture at Bankok University and the royal family approved of the designs (as long as none were too similar to Royal or Religious buildings) and the equivilent of the Princess opened the park. It boasts some worlds first and some world records too which is pretty impressive for what is a pretty small place and to say its on an island that doesnt have much else in the sense of theme parks. (There is a very poor water park and a zoo, thats about it) Anyway on with the pictures... These flags surround the park, Shame I couldnt get one decent picture, also check out the stunning views from the park! The Entrance building is beatuiful Just in the entrance is a Sea Lion enclosure Up the ramp you will find the 'floating market' where the shops and resturaunts are, all suspended above either the lazy river or fish filled ponds. A view from the market to the 'main ride' Tower of Power The Tower of Power is a pretty standard ride, except the theming kicks ass And similar to Aquatica you go through a fish and crocodile enclosure As does the Lazy River, note the thin tube for ToP and people on the lazy river The lazy river is the worlds longest and highest thanks to the lift hill! It also features something Ive never seen before - a rapid section, sadly I didnt get any pictures but it was rough and fast and amazing. Similar to the lift hill the rapids is an option. There is a massive wave pool with beach, the waves are apparently the largest man made in any park at just over 3meters high and there are regular surfing lessons. Tower of Power and 'The Giant' a space bowl ride except in a ring and it duels The Dragon, a torndado ride with smoke, lights, roaring and bloody big dragon hanging over the edge Naga race, just a standard lay down on a matt slide For kids the 'lost city' lots of climbing, guns, slides and a massive tipping bucket. The slides were excellent and many had fibre-optic lights changing colour inside. Finally an overview of the back of the park, which I love because you can see the plantlife and detail the park has made compared to the volcanic rock behind it. -- Anyway I hope you enjoyed the pictures.
