Frontier Falls (General area)

[Dan]

It seems the multi-buy offer on Brown Paint was far too tempting.

Drayton have done a brilliant job re-theming the former Cartoon Network Street, which is looking incredible.

It’s a terrible shame that such a poor job has been done on Accelerator. An already dark queue line has been painted over in dark brown and looks incredibly unimaginative. The paint is already marked and peeling; it seems so boring in comparison to the amazing work done over the street.

I completely understand that Accelerator’s re-theme is a work in progress, but I’m concerned by the initial stages of this. Brown and Chrome doesn’t look great on the exterior of the building, dark corridors painted even darker brown doesn’t work well, and the sci-fi theming inside of the building from Ben 10 / Accelerator remains — will they just paint over this in brown too?

If the green track is to be embraced, it’d be great to see this jet-washed. It is filthy.

I agree Cartoon Network street looks great, I'm hoping they make it feel a bit more integrated, maybe new paving once the new coaster is ready, it just feels unfinished at the moment.

I don't know what they're thinking with Accelerator though, it looks terrible. The brown and green looks like they're just using up leftover paint. The whole thing needs to be re-themed properly.

Close Accelerator for a few months and fully do it properly - would be what I'd do

The problem is then kids who are over 1m and under 1.05m would have only Troublesome trucks to ride.

True
But do it during something like christmas or february where ride offering is reduced anyway
Or closed season

Rather it be closed and done properly than rushed and not done right.

I think there will be stages to Frontier Falls, 1: The street ( done ) 2: The Coaster and 3: Flooring, Accelerator and Flying Dutchman. I feel like they will retheme Accelerator in the closed season, they have spent a lot of there budget on the wave, the new street and the new coaster. We have got to keep in mind it’s a smaller park which don’t have as much budget as Alton Towers.

I bought the Lory jacket
The new merch is really nice - there's also a new floral themed set which I also noticed made an appearance at Pleasurewood today

More items been painted

Can’t believe the area not even 3 months old and the paint already coming off the buildings

Loved the entertainment

I don't think thats been open since 2013

I'm pretty sure I saw it open at one point last year (or maybe the year before it all merges into one). New refurb looks good. Wonder what that means for the ice cream hub across the way?

Makes sense though with the new ride about to open.

Im still thinking that will be a resturant of some form - but it will probably be next year now. That building can't remain empty with The Haunting leaving into it ^^' (Granted, it has for a while)

 

[Thomas]

Personally as they have built the little gift shop next to the ride and there's Rory's souvenirs round the corner.I think potentially the haunting will have a corridor round the restaurant and then in the wall in-between the ice cream parlour and old gift shop will be turned into a big sit down restaurant and and a small little venue for shows in the later part of the Evening

Is the toilets been themed inside to suit the area or is it just basic like the others round the park?

I will be honest, I didn't go to the toilet there last night. Will take a look when next there though.

 

[Pete999films]

Surely if it is being themed to the times, they will have ripped the interior out and left holes in the ground as it will be more appropriate to the times, or am I taking it a bit far??
