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

People buy any old tat from parks across the world with no story based nonsense.

Legoland arrest as woman, 27, is held on suspicion of neglect I just hope it’s not a staff member, they get paid too little to be arrested on the job.

The story is required to add to the theme and lore which then sells tatty merch in the shop. How else are they going to sell wings for you to wear if you don’t know the backstory of forging the wings and jumping off a cliff.
