Don't imascore sell their own music directly? I'm sure it's down to what ever deal they have with the parks - I'd love them to release full length tracks of Galactica and Ghost Train (and now of course thorpes new entrance music!)

See Mile's post - there's talk about it by the sounds of it!

Glad they've confirmed it! The new stuff played at the entrance and dome sounds really good - suits the park and Island theme they are going for to a tee. Will be interesting to see what else they work on with Imascore - Colossus and Inferno would be tough acts to follow (which I'm sure there well aware of!) - but judging on what they've produced with Merlin ( Smiler, towers fireworks, galactica and DBGT) I've no doubt they could top it!

No other than the area signs in all the areas but not really theming!

Can't see Vampire going anywhere - they know they would never get planning permission for anything like it in its place!

Nope - Although they have replaced the screens at the bottom of the lift hill and wired in the Police car in its new location so has its audio back.

Entrance, Dome, Rumba were playing new tracks, an islandly theme was also playing at I'm a Celeb but I assume That maybe just because it was closed. On the subject of music Fish has music back with its announcements too!

Infernos mist looks great and looks like rumba has had alot of work!

Nothing wrong with people looking forward to the ride!

Teaser from Derren Brown posted on Thorpes fb!

It was obviously experiencing technical problems during the video. I saw it running Saturday and it was flipping as normal.. lets not get too carried away!

Take a look at their feed - they've replied to a series of people who interacted with them on Twitter with a cryptic GIF and told them to check their DM's - I don't think there's any real drama..

Indeed im sure it will, not only thatn im also sure it will be a massive hit for the park too.

^This video was playing on the big screen at the entrance during Fright Nights last year.

The money they "throw" at these things is so little in the grand scheme of things - they can afford for short term investments to fill a gap. Also i wouldn't be surprised if they are the dates it's open and not closed and simply being an error on the site..

If Thorpe was open in February with a (more-or-less) full ride lineup, I wouldn't be moaning about some of the coasters being one train. Out of interest was fastrack or the BPB version of it available?

I equally find it amusing you'll go out your way to defend BPB for something which if it was at Thorpe (or any Merlin park for that matter) you would be spitting nails at..and to add to that - No ones moaning about it - as Josh said my post was very much tongue-in-cheek!

https://www.thorpeparkmania.co.uk/news/19-02-2017/February+2017+Update small update from today !

Chessington are advertising on FB today is exaclty one month till it opens - can only assume the marketing department are still confident it will open on time - fingers crossed!

Completely unacceptable.

I loved this meet up - it was really good!! Nice trip report

Tbf it's not really hevaly promoted by the park - it's just an account which posts pictures for geeks to see what's going on across the park.

The merlin annual pass site currently states the 19th but is subject to change

Comparisons to Sub-Terror are pointless IMO - Sub terrors alterations were made mid season in haste - the Ghost train is a totally different scale of attraction. We all know DBGT had its issues - TP / Merlin know that more than any of us. Personally I still enjoyed it - but i can see where improvements can be made and look forward to seeing what's done over the closed season!
