Popped in for abit today - good to see the park continuing to run well - quiet day, rides running full capacity with minimal queues - Inferno team in particular were running it well with trains not staking.

Be interesting to see how popular this proves to be - I actually think it will do pretty well - can see why it’s not everyone’s cup of of tea but do think it will appeal to the GP.

It’s been more built every time I’ve visited so don’t think it will end up like that - from the looks of it it mostly just needed the theming added now.

Plans change..

I guess if it’s beyond repair we could see a new one? Unlike the loggers situation it would be relatively inexpensive to replace... hopefully !

Tbf it's less about trying to hide something and more about trying to advertise it.
 
No screen there and it just looks like (another) dead attraction.

Who are people...

The 40th anniversary merchandise is very nice!
 
 

Lets get the facts right before we go running to report the park and looking silly...
 
The capsules are not sold out (if they were to sell out the machines would remain open) - the mixing syrup is what’s sold out which is why machines are closed - if you are to buy a cup today you can refill them at f&b units (although  the park are recommending not buy a cup today due to the lack of freestyle offering!) 

Vortex is running so well now - it had a few years where it really struggled to get full height but now it’s as good as new - looks great too with the arms all being freshly painted too!

Definitely my favourite “End of day” track used in recent years ? 0DEFDB81-A877-42E6-B011-BC1919D7C2BB.MOV

This is actually being constructed by the same company as who did the Crystal maze experience if anyone here has done that!

Obviously not ideal - more so for the park than anything! but it’s good to see how popular it’s proving - the kinks will be ironed out and be good to see merlin roll them out more across all their parks!

That exact question has been on the surveys for the last 3 or so years now... would be nice mind if it did happen!

No ones forcing you!

Don’t get me wrong, im not saying the park don’t have its problems, but I wouldn’t say it’s quite at the soul destroying level!
 
I do disagree though - personally think The Walking Dead retheme of X was executed brilliantly and was their last solid investment!

Nope - this is just the video which was shown on the big screen at the start of the day ?

There are much much worse car parks around than at Thorpe!
Probably a long time - expect it’s one of the major attractions of the premium upgrade to many!

Interesting to see that Disney are holding a gaming event - because no one goes to a theme park to play games they clearly have no idea what they are doing... ?
