This money tastes funny... unexpected journey... this is your stop... who's Railway is it.... Derren Brown's Ghost Train Return Of The Demon: The Rollercoaster (DBGTROTDTR) seems 99% confirmed to me. Poop papp wiff waff.

Yeah I agree about the roaming actors being an odd choice. The brief seems to have been "VIBES. YEAH, JUST DO VIBES ALL YEAR." It's good they have them though - and I assume it takes away the recruitment problem when it comes to hiring for events? I very much look forward to vibing with them in a few weeks before soaking up the vibes in the Vibes Bar & Kitchen. Might even treat myself to a vibe on Vibena Rumba Rap-vibes.

Big Bob Jones must receive sufficient levels of sacrifice.

The roaming actors are weird….. like they aren’t advertised anywhere on the website nor do I get the point of them (yes, they are fun ect) but I mean what do they actually do? If they are around to do party dances like it’s some sort of caravan park, I don’t see the point. It was okay for park vibes, but not again… Maybe I’d like them more if they had relevance to the park (story, branding) otherwise it just looks like a group of people on a stag do. I like the posters, there’s way too many though. The soundtrack change last year already took away from the original story. But I feel that’s the entertainments team and general Thorpe management trying to divert from the original MMM concept slightly. Too focused on the “Les Coogan” reference. New graphic is a good little teaser, looks like mountains to me. Again playing to this wilderness theme from the Trailers poster (clearly showing a forest) and the planning application which states they are gonna use the environment as part of the theme. Is the coaster themed to an expedition and the coaster is the mountain, which you climb and takes you on an “unexpected journey” also could nod to Canada Creek still. That is very very light speculation, only pulled from a few hints. I can imagine it will be wrong. But hey, starting to speculate the theme!

Some final new things, from Jack Silkstone's video: A mini stage has been set up in Amity This will apparently be used by the roaming actors Some posters have appeared around Swarm island: They're plastered on the station building too. Not a fan of these. Way too many, and they lean very heavily on a theme away from the original Swarm story. Things change I guess, but it feels like adding something for the sake of it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Finally, a new graphic on the service road gates by Old Town Burger King (which originally had the Old Town logo on): This seems to be a big nod towards Exodus, somewhat mimicking the lift/drop

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10651331/Teen-dies-fall-Florida-amusement-park-ride.html Absolutely awful news. This is the world's tallest drop tower ride - it does feature seats that tilt you forward and I wonder if that had a part to play in this here. You have to wonder if the restraint was pulled down far enough. Be careful if looking on Twitter because the video is out there and currently not flagged as sensitive 😞
