There are lots of rumours flying about at the moment with regard to Thorpe and what's next on it's list of plans. Some people in the know are talking about rocket coasters, anyone heard anything else?

It seems that something is deffinately happening, Thorpe is cranking up big time and it's already predicted that next year will be very busy with construction.

Looks like they are replacing the Pirates 4d cinema with the same one that's appeared at BGT. The haunted lighthouse thing.

It also seems likely that next year will see the long-anticipated re-theme of x:/nowayout.

I can't see Tussauds paying for a major coaster 3 years in a row, while Alton Towers only gets a coaster every 4 years. Where are they getting their money? Did Colossus bring in that much extra business?

the new coaster will be 2005 matey. They seem to be bucking the trend on the frequency of new coasters at tussauds. If they get this woodie off the ground that will likely be 2005 as well and Chessington gets it's coaster next year, allbeit a little one.
