Updating my 10 top as I don't currently have any more trips planned this year, new entries in bold. 1) Batman Gotham City Escape 2) Toutatis 3) Untamed 4) Kondaa 5) Shambala 6) Hyperia 7) Ride to Happiness 8) Taron 9) Balder 10) Hyper Coaster Helix and Zadra now both fall out of my top 10. Batman has always intrigued me, but I didn't expect to like it as much as I did. Every element hits no matter what seat you're in. The tophat works, the ejector airtime is insane, and it's easily my favourite stall I've done on a coaster. I never really see Hyper Coaster talked about, but it's a solid coaster. Pretty traditional hyper layout with an insane first drop and a crazy zero g roll.

Summer lates were great, really hope they build on them and we have more of them next year. I normally completely avoid Thorpe during July and August but I went last Friday and yesterday for the afternoon/evening. Last Friday seemed to be the quietist of the 4, but I think a lot of people left/were put off due to the heat. Yesterday a good amount of people stayed till the end which is good to see. I do think they could do a better job of advertising it though. I don't think theres enough (anything?) on park telling you the park is actually open until 9. I got sent a survey the other day about the event, asking about reasons for visiting, rides being open late, the food stalls, DJs and what time of year is best for rides in the dark. So it's good to see they're at least considering expanding on it.

So Purgatory Town was confirmed as returning this year tonight. On the website, there are two more attractions to be revealed: a scare zone or show, and the maze. The new zone is something of a surprise, since - up to now - there were only 4 placeholders for that slot. All of last year's zones and shows are returning, so this fifth zone is something new (or perhaps something returning). I wonder if they're thinking of doing something like Legacy, but improved having learnt lessons from the Lucifer's Lair fire shows? Edit: Actually, I lie - IT 4D hasn't been confirmed as returning. So it could just be a new film in the cinema. The teaser trailer seemed to hint at a horror film released in 2013, so there we go.

the first uploaded video is available online, I confused it with a later advert which reused some footage (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_NMfRvtnZQ&lc=Ugy1MaKE1RT4R6h9-FN4AaABAg) so it's just the last four that aren't on there...

I was reading through the discussion page for Project Dylan/Saw: The Ride on the CoasterForce forums and found out that they uploaded 5 teaser videos for the ride, each on the 13th from July to November but I cannot find uploads of them anywhere, found a description on the archived project Dylan website for one of them but idk if there's descriptions of the rest. (edit: forgot to mention but the youtube uploads are still mostly archived, there's just no pictures or video available) does anyone here remember watching these and maybe somehow have copies of them?

It will be quite a weird area with no stage or shows, unless there’s more theming

Lucifer's Lair returning. Interestingly no mention of a new location, but also no mention of any specific shows.

Looks like it could be The Crows going there:

don't stop dreaming aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA dream on

Its certainly a lot shorter than the Saw Alive path. I guess it worked okay with Death Doors as you'd spend time knocking on doors and hanging around rather than walking straight through. I always liked the Blair Witch location as a scare zone, but that obviously isn't viable anymore with Hyperia. Couldn't they make something work starting to the left of Trailers and exiting by the Rumba Rapids smoking area though?

There is still multiple places to host a scare zone including outside rumba rapids. I do miss the swarm invasion style of zones too.

I was never a big fan of that location being used as a scare zone, especially in Thorpe's format of a one-way outdoor walkthrough. It's quite small and doesn't have the same impact. Equally, I always had concerns about Death's Doors and how it would handle crowds, but it coped. So what do I know. In saying that, I would prefer to see Thorpe try another scare zone which isn't just a one-way route, but we'll see.

Looks like we'll see the return of a scare zone in the previous Death Doors location

Not usually. Most of Thorpe's IP contracts, to my knowledge, have been on 3 or 5 year contracts which can then be renewed for certain periods of time. All very flexible.

Back of the seats were removed last week so work has been taking place. And apparently it tested yesterday so hopefully it won't be too much longer!

Aren’t these types of IP usually on a 10 year deal? Will be interesting to see whether they extend it or move on from Walking Dead. I was a big fan of X. Realistically I can't see Ghost Train much longer either which would leave a huge space in the middle of the park with this + Slammer site too if they were to get rid of it all together.

Bravo on that one 😆

it will be very very very very scary. maybe.

things are a bit unclear, paths veer in different ways. we could be in for an x-citing change, a reverse if you like, or perhaps a smaller, Duel retheme. of course the pass could be renewed but we are not sure. how many sponsorships have you killed? too many to count

I like the pretzel, I like the song, this is my kind of income, it lasts for three weeks long

Yo @Parm Pap got anything to say about this ride now that there’s literally no Walking Dead merch left in the park?

Apparently it won't reopen until 2029. A year and a half it'll be closed for. Just start it this year instead lads.
