Sammy08 Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 I was just wondering to myself when you will be making your next trip to the UK? It was 2006 when you made your last trip, to ride the new rides such as Stealth and Kumali... As well as the slightly less popular Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, ( That is amongst us picky enthusiast folk. ) However since then many of the larger parks in the UK have added man new rides for you to come and try. To name a few: Alton Towers - *Extraordinary Golf *Haunted Hollow *Mutiny Bay, featuring Battle Galleons + Sharkbait Reef *Cloud Cuckoo Land, with Twirling Toadstool + lots of Kidtums friendly rides. They have also removed the Evil Corkscrew of Death, so Alton Towers need not be a place which enthusiasts quiver at the meier thought of any longer . Not to forget that next year they will add SW6! Thorpe Park - *Flying Fish made a return *Saw the Ride It is also heavily rumoured that next year will see the park become home to three new flats. Chessington - *Sea Life *new theater Legoland - *Digger Challenge. *Land of the Viking's, featuring Viking River Splash + Longboat Invader. *Kingdom of the Pharo's, featuring Laser Riders and Scarab Bouncers. Pleasure Beach Blackpool - *Infusion *Adventure Golf *Amazing Dancing Fountains *All new Art Deco Entrance and Bar. Drayton Manor - *The Bounty *Thomas Land *Curse of Skull rock 4D This is another park which is also rumoured to be getting a brand new coaster next year... And at the moment the two main contenders are a new Mack Launched Coaster, or a Intamin Mega-Lite!!! Lightwater Valley - *Hornets Nest *Lightwater Wheel *Wild River Rapids Flamingo Land - *Splash Battle + Kidtums Friendly Splish Splosh. *Flip Flop *Mumbo Jumbo - The worlds Steepest coaster! Other things to remember are... *It may be your last chance to come try out Knightmare at Camelot *Paultons park has the brand new Edge. I also have a couple of fun small parks to recommend for the trip which you may or may not wish to pay a visit: *Wicksteed park - Has a set of Nautic Jets *Devon's Crealy - Fun little kiddie coaster, pirate ship and log flume. Also I know how much you guys love playing so it has a mini Aqua Play, bumper boats, Go-Karts, A Bridge Challenge and several large indoor play barns designed for young and old. Trust me they may not sound great but they are serious fun! http://www.crealy.co.uk/devon/ *Woodlands - http://www.woodlandspark.com Once again more of a family park, with a large pirate ship, The Tornado-a huge toboggan run down the hill side and the Uk's largest Play centre. Not forgetting the legendary Cyclone Watercoasters, three dingy slides down the hill which get you absolutely drenched (not designed with Dan in mind ). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hwP5G5YkFQ they don't look much, but they are actually really fast when you have two adults in them! There is also The Giant 60ft, 1 tonne sliding teatray of doom... Also know as Avalanche, (Crealy and Woodlands are only around an hours drive apart so could potentially both be done in one day.) Obviously, as I am fully aware you all already know all of this stuff... But I am just trying to make my point there are so many new things for you to come and try out in the UK Next year. I just love seeing your amazingly hilarious outlook on the parks really. So please come back to the Uk soon!
larrygator Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 ^Don't be upset if the Alveys don't answer right away. They are extremely busy right now still finalizing details of this year's trips. You can not imagine the amount of prep work Robb and Elissa put into each trip. Whenever they hint at future plans they get bombarded with questions, so let's let the focus on this year before asking about future trips. Your eagerness is appreciated, but please just bare with them for the time being.
Sammy08 Posted April 14, 2009 Author Posted April 14, 2009 Thankyou for your reply, I wasn't expecting one so soon tbh. Anyway, I know they have a lot of hastle and I did say next year to try the new rides. But like you say I shal be patient for a reply from them. In the mean time if anybody wishes to post their own opinions of the UK trips, or their favourite bits from the past UK visits feel free to post them in here, along with your own park suggestions for future reference and trip planning for anybody planning a UK trip.
TPDave Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 I'm loving the enthusiasm but I think Robb and Elissa know what's at the parks As Larry says, lets wait till the next 4 trips are out the way first Dave "I'd like to see these *heavy rumors* about TP's 3 new flats" Wilson
gisco Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 A simple search would have answered your question http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=48572 Locking thread MOD EDIT by larrygator: My bad, I forgot that Robb released this info beyond the moderator enclave, I thought it was still secret.
