Thorpe Park released a new video, in what appears to be the first of many to come.

August 13th 2008 - Thorpe Park has posted a video for their new Ride on YouTube this week that highlights the discovery of a mystery box in the ground labeled simply “13”. It’s just a hunch, but it almost seems like they’re going to try and promote this ride like Dollywood did with Mystery Mine. Lets hope they can live up to the hype. The video starts with a wide shot of the park skyline, before sharply flicking to what appears to be a man covered in blood stains. The video then proceeds to construction site workers going about there day, until one of them discovers a red box buried in the ground, with 13 scratched into the lid. The construction worker opens the box, only to yelp and jump back, which the screen then cuts out. The date 13.09.08 appears, whilst in the background screams can be heard "Jim!", etc. To see the video Click Here To See The Video.

Better camera = better updates!

Today (9 Aug.) I thought to inform that I got a new camera as I had lots of email sent saying ''you need better quality and better zoom for your videos and pictures'' (and I wanted a new camera). So now I have a 9.1megapixels 5xzoom (sanyo xacti vpc-cg9) best you can get!!. Now the pictures will be excellent quality and excellent zoom bringing you the very best from the site. Sorry that this post is nothing to do with tp -09 ride but there been no updates for 5 days. Next construction update in 2 weeks time.
