Banbury Cross Retheme Coming in 2014

[Smatt]

We neither does a bus, but sometimes there are no choices

^ and by "here" I mean at the park ^

I can tolerate this if it's a bus where you walk up and there's drinks and on the second floor there would be live actors talking about the weather, music, town, etc.

HA! Quality. Good one Conner.

 

[MAZ]

Equipping the bus with 'booths' to eat in would be cool. Making use of the space that it is taking up may create an acceptable placement.

I just noticed the knights in the bottom left, now I want teach my kid to walk behind me with coconuts while strolling through the park

A long time ago my friends and I used to skip over the bridge between Pompeii and San Marco while pretending to clap coconuts. Yes, we are geeks. If only I could skip like that now without twisting an ankle!

And I'll bring the holy hand grenade for when they replace the clock tower with a plastic snail.

 

[Jrbgwfan06]

You'll need a couple more for Oktoberfest.

 

[MrLaptop]

And I'll hand grenade those too.

 

[Mushroom]

...and a handful for Americana.

 

[Jrbgwfan06]

Oh, god. We're going to need to order in bulk...

 

[Smatt]

Pretty soon you won't have a park to go to!

 

[MrLaptop]

Actually, it will still be a park. Snail Gardens!

 

[Party Rocker]

So a new Coke Mart? I just hope it stays open later than most other snack places in England that tend to close rather early.

 

[Jrbgwfan06]

The cotton candy stand used to stay open late...

 

[Party Rocker]

That's nice, but I hope the Coke Mart will stay open late.

The old cotton candy/paper flowers booth has been will be ripped down and the park is building a second Coke Market located between the candy shop and the Emporium paid for entirely by Coca-Cola themselves. This is what happens when the entertainment department runs out of money but still insists on a retheme.

Are you talking about where you get the Smores from at Christmas Town?

If an ill designed replacement goes in the space the area won't flow at all and lose the charm of the area.

Why destroy the flow of the building's facades through this section?

Coke wants a 2nd market? Fine, but leave the flow of the buildings intact at least.

Wish they wouldn't put A Coke Market there but it's probably a done deal.

Will send corporate an e-mail voicing my displeasure at it, expecting NO RESPONSE at all.

 

[Nora]

Ah- but where would they store huge London Rocks drink cups with cheap refills?

How about anywhere else as a suggestion?

While I love the Kings Dominion talk, this is BGWFans, please keep it to the Banbury Cross re-theme.

We all know what Kings Dominion is doing and we all know what Busch Gardens is doing, please keep what they're doing in the appropriate threads and if you wanna debate, then make a thread debating who you think is doing better, why you believe it, ect. However, this is not the place for it.

If you want to argue who is making the better choice, make a thread in the everything else section of either the KDFans and BGWFans section of the forums. The posts regarding Kings Dominion will be hidden momentarily.

Maybe the bus is a prop in the show for The Hollies' "Bus Stop" or The Who's "Magic Bus" or the like.

 

[Party Rocker]

Let me just say I am interested to see how this Coke Mart will turn out, mainly because I am interested in a few certain things. Like will it be completely indoors or more of a tent like in Festa Italia? Will it feature freestyle machines? Will it open up the entrance to the all-day lockers more? Will it be themed on the outside much like the Emporium and other surrounding buildings, or will it follow a different architecture style? What will it be named? Hopefully not just Coca-Cola Market because that name is already used and making something permanent may hurt later on when or if the park chooses to go with another drink supplier. Since Coca-Cola is paying for the entire project, please can we have freestyle machines? PLEASE!
