But we knew the ride type and the theme nature. This will get out.

Whilst this is almost certainly just a teaser to enthusiasts, I think it should be pointed out that indoor rides don't change the landscape (unless they're MASSIVE), which means that Thorpe must be getting.....a B&M Hyper!!!!! :wink:

^It's on the construction boards around the site that 'dark ride' is meant to be.

Yeah, I saw on TT where the sign is located, so it is obviously aimed at everyone. One thing that I've been thinking about though is that an indoor ride/coaster will be located next to another indoor coaster, which is a bit strange, in my opinion.....

Yeah, but they're both indoors, which the public see as a 'novelty' and located them next to each other just seems weird, to me.

Re: Thorpe Park construction?
It depends how different they are from each other. Phantasialand also has two (or technically even three) indoor coasters right next to each other with Winjas Fear & Force and Temple of the Night Hawk, but since they are so different it doesn't look or feel odd.

According to "SouthParks and other fan sites", apparently the ride has been codenamed 'Project Whitechapel', or 'WC16'. My only source is a TT member claiming that planning application site has said this and I don't know the link to it.

There's details about the new application on TPM: http://www.thorpeparkmania.co.uk/news/0 ... n-Released and the plans can be found by searching for Thorpe Park on the council's site here: http://planning.runnymede.gov.uk/Northg ... earch.aspx
I'm personally treating the codename as WC16 (as it's quicker to type out and looks nice when compared to LC12 for The Swarm
).
The new plans show details of the "themed structure" in the ride's plaza, which looks like a watch tower, and slight changes to the ride's building and queue line (the building is a little bit smaller, and the queue is now a bit more open).
I'm doubting that the ride will be themed around the ITV show Whitechapel to be honest, since it wasn't that popular and seems to have stopped as well (plus Thorpe wouldn't be so careless to reveal the ride's theme through some plans!).

I'm not reading much into the project name. It does strike up a bit of a Jack The Ripper vibe though, but then again Project Dylan (Saw) made me think about my cousin. It's a lovely project name though.

^ Only you would make the connect between WC16 and toilets. Project Toilet. It sounds like a ride that Mysterious Sue will never find her way out of! Toilet or not, I'm quite looking forward to it. It's been a while since Merlin attempted a fully fledged dark ride with a multi million pound budget.

Re: Thorpe Park construction?
So thorpe tweeted this image to the twitter of Theme Park Incorporated...
I don't want to speculate too much but the image, does contain a perfume bottle of antique or victorianesque look to it, who knows this could be a massive clue or just one to trick enthusiasts, as it was that twitter page above that asked for a clue.
What are your thoughts?
