Who's ready for a good ol' fashioned bit of speculation...
So people have seen and brushed aside the 'TP-RMC 22' gag in Trailers. TPM even did a (admittedly somewhat clickbaity) article discussing what it means: https://thorpeparkmania.co.uk/news/07-10-2021/New+for+2022%3F!+RMC+and+Egypt%3F%3F
In short: yeah, it's a joke to get people talking and/or laughing. Now if they put TP-RMC 23, it might have got people's attention a bit more.
But what if there's something else hidden in Trailers?
Some may remember I tried starting up a theme park blog earlier in the year. It's still alive and kicking, but I haven't updated it in ages. The last post on there (cheeky plug) was about the Easter Eggs / references that had appeared on some graffiti-decorated grabbing machines opposite Ghost Train. Most of them I was able to figure out. One I couldn't figure out was Exodus:
I wracked my brain and can't think of any relation to has to anything Thorpe-related. I asked around, and no one could think of anything either.
Heh, fair enough. Could be anything.
And in Trailers, it appears again, albeit slightly more subtly:
Okay, it has the obvious X:\No Way Out link, but it's also clearly there to say 'Exodus' too.
Pushing the boundaries of coincidence now.
Obviously could still mean anything, could mean nothing. Could even be Thorpe making something out of nothing to get people talking and making post like these.
A speculative mind could start trying to put 2 and 2 together here though. That poster has trees in the background, with a vague look of the trees which go around Old Town. Trees are being cut down round Old Town, and Platform 15 is closing. So could Thorpe finally be building a coaster again, have it going round Old Town, and the project name is Exodus?
Nah, probably not...
Unless..?
