I came across this video the other day, starting at 17:01, a Nemesis engineer talks about the current rattle/vibrations on the trains. There are numerous reasons why they think it could be happening, for example with the track now being sand filled, vibrations which were once being absorbed by the track are now being felt on the train. He did say there are ways to iron this out in the future so hopefully its something they'll work on it during closed season.

Had my first Reborn rides this weekend. Whilst the area is fantastic, the new queue line is a nice addition and the station is incredible, I can't help but be disappointed with the ride experience. We rode Train 1 twice on Saturday, Row 5/6 and both my friend and I noticed a rattle on certain parts of the ride. I can never remember the OG riding like that, enough for us to not re-ride quickly. It got worse as the day went on, assuming as the ride warms up, it runs a little quicker. Sunday we rode Train 2 Row 6, better but still rattly. For a ride that's <3months old I am amazed how rattly it felt. The area is amazing, the ride still slaps, but I do worry for the quality of the ride over the next few years.

Morning all, Had my first rides on Curse this weekend and I have to say I was blown away. Such a great addition to the park. Some areas could do with a bit of a rethink, the pitch black corners with rumbling for example. The skull screen which I actually found online a few years ago for a Planet Coaster ride felt a bit of a cop out. The finale also felt a bit of a let down as it's so light in there. Could do with blocking off that room with bang doors or something to really keep the light out. Saying that though as soon as we exited, we went straight back around for another go!

One interesting thing is that the lights have been on most nights, all the way up the lift hill!

I do wonder if that will perhaps go into Johns Personal development plan for next year….. ‘Fully complete a project themeing landscaping and hardware before opening day’

We wanted to produce something very different for Thorpe Park and the response so far has been overwhelmingly positive. The MD on LinkedIn

I'd like to see the unedited version. Bet it looks just as good without the shine.

Contender for best theme park photo ever?

Wouldn't be a Merlin project if it was finished on time would it?

12 days?

They usually have a 30 second and 15 second TV advert, so more likely a shorter one.

Only thing to note that the YouTube clip is titled "30 second advert" so perhaps the longer one will shout more about the height of bae.

I like the advert, it feels reminiscent of the Colossus and Inferno adverts specifically too. I still find it odd they're not shouting more about it being the tallest UK coaster. That feels like something that would grab people's attention much more. But heyho, they're going a different direction with it and making that a more sideline fact. Hopefully it all works out.

My sentiments exactly 👀

I really like the ad, think it gets to the point quickly and doesn't overdo it too much.

Cooooool I like the ad! We're so close now - I can't believe how much work there still is to do though on the queues, pathways and landscaping 🫥

Also we are forgetting it will go story…. Ad for generic family product…. Story … ad for map…. Story…. Ad for the new oasis drink

I think that’s an interesting ad. They have got some nice ride shots in there, they got the records in there, and I like the way that they included the big silhouette at the end. I certainly like this more than the whole story-driven approach they were hinting towards a few days ago. Overall, I quite like it. We’re only 15 days away now… the hype is really building!

The advert is here... thoughts?

Make the whole park a permanent fright nights preparation zone.

Thanks, very informative 👌

bop bop, bang, bop, bop, bang, bop bop, bang, bop, bop, bang I don't want to start any unruly rumours but I think that time's got a sixth sense of humour, ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong when I have no budget I will be laughing, here we go now, soon, enjoy the ride but it will not be the last

Is there a full up-to-date list of songs that currently play around Tidal Wave, or even better, is there a full current mix that plays that can be downloaded, there's one on YouTube but it's deffo not the full one.

Colossus is standing right there. No story, no thing. Still sells lots of merchandise. Come on now.

I highly doubt a staff member is going to be arrested for child neglect of a 5 month old baby that suffered a cardiac arrest. Full story below: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-berkshire-68962869
