CpBluestreakCp Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 It looks very unique, I guess it's not a bad idea if someone is in need for a quick place to rest for the night.
Philrad71 Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 New show on A&E or Travel Channel next year: Crash Pad Wars.
JonnyRCT3 Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Hope they add some insulators to these, It can get quite cold at night. However the park did just theme a coaster to a barren wasteland, this should match it perfectly
caffeine_demon Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Hmmmmm - Those rooms look just about big enough for 2 adults, and 1 kid, but 4 adults? that's gonna be "cosy" to say the least!
SharkTums Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 ^I don't think that's the demographic they're aiming for with this 'hotel'. Like someone else said, they're going for the YOLO crowd.
cfc Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 A hotel made out of shipping containers? That's different. Â Perhaps particularly obnoxious guests will wake up in the morning and find themselves on a container ship heading for Somalia.
Meteornotes Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 ^If that's the case, they need to install these immediately outside of SFMM. And Disneyland during a Passholder event. Â dt
Double0Kevin Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 This whole shipping container craze is interesting. Personally I still want to have a container house like the one in Tron: Legacy. But I agree with Wes on this one, teen pregnancy is about to sky rocket.
StealthFan Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 So many teenage pregnancies are gonna start there. Â Im sure multiple teenage pregnancies have already happened at Thorpe Park! This will just increase the number. Â To be honest I may give it a shot staying in one of them next year just out of interest. Granted I will be taking some disinfectant with me. Â -Craig

Â Thats the pretty bog standard Thorpe Park crowd then. Â Crash Pad is a nice name but 'YOLO CONTAINERS' would fit it perfectly.
dominoes Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 I have to admit, I am being pretty offended by your comments about type of people that go to Thorpe Park. It is my local park, and I go there at least once a year. I wish you wouldn't stereotype the people that go there in the way you are. We are not all chavs. I am kind of worried about the idea of these hotels. However, I'm sure that if the price to stay is low, then it will be quite good.
BudtheWeiser Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 Why as a Merlin pass holder who also goes theres a lot more chav's there than any other park I go to its just a fact you learn to deal with it and not let it spoil your day easy really

There's no reason to be offended.

Â I didn't say you we're all chavs. And once a year? That's not really enough visits to get a clear view on the clientele that Thorpe gets on a regular basis. Â But let's not get into that argument. Â Crash Pad is a good idea that will attract a young crowd.
DBru Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 My friends would love this. And we're pretty stereotypical. Â Just sayin'.
StealthFan Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 For anyone who is interested below is a video of off ride shots of the Swarm. I did film all of this on opening day this year and only just got around to making it. Enjoy.

RollerCoasterSmi Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Thorpe have been posting a few teasers about plans for 2013 on their Facebook page... Ready for your first clue about our plans for this year? Well here it is.... Are you brave enough to experience the evolution? Here's the second clue about our surprise plans for this year. Can you guess what we're doing? The sting is in the tail...  I've not really been following this closely but the comments on Facebook seem to suggest these things: - Create a back story for The Swarm (either change the 4D cinema or add a Nemesis: Sub Terra style ride) - Retheme of Saw: The Ride (possibly due to the license ending) - Retheme of X:\ No Way Out & possibly turning the trains around so they face forward.  And my personal favourite: - Turn the back seats of The Swarm around so they face backwards!!!
RCT3Bross Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 I won't be surprised if the back-up story is true. Look at Merlin, each park with a B&M (except Thorpe park then) has a attraction with a name of (one of) their B&M. Heide-Park (Krake --> Krake Lebt) Alton Towers (Nemesis --> Nemesis Sub-Tera) Gardaland (Raptor --> Raptor Genetix) (Still in the make) So I'm expecting a Swarm back-up story longer then today. I don't think they take Nemesis Inferno because the ride is old and not as legendary as his older brother in Alton Towers. I really hope they keep the Saw theme for some more years I'm not going here before 2015 and I really like the movies, would be nice to have a ride with the same theme.

RCT3Bross Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Yeah that confuse me, because what would it mean? Could it be about the Swarm trains?
JonnyRCT3 Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Turning the train backwards, that's cool. Â Waits for fanboys to say this coaster is legendary now.
