Sure that's not for the menu's in the cafe?

I saw a 120 minute queue advertised early today 🤣

What do we reckon the queue is going to get to today? 180 mins?

The new arrows to tell people where to go on Rush look good. About time the faded and pointless coloured dots were removed anyway, looked awful for years.

Our queen is back 🙏 SRQs on Saw & TWD (I guess the latter makes sense so it avoids the must be in pairs rule).... Stealth coming soon (cos it's not like they've had all closed season to alter the queue lines) Lots of new food/drink things around park - shocks me how late they leave it though to build these things, and I know the video could have been filmed a little while ago but I doubt it. So... did that "Frost City" cocktail bar never open last year then? Didn't even know it existed, but then I guess I don't often go near the rides there other than Rush ❤️

If they could just get the new tarmac'ers round from CWoA that would be a start.

Sad to report that there will be an upcharge to access the Thorpe Park Annual Passholder group soon depending on your level of pass.

More rotten cladding/brickwork around RSJs a la Swarm I suppose? Completely agree the whole area needs a refresh, hopefully the Phalanx will take it over.

I keep reading this as Dobbie tea party. Rule number 1 of Dobby club is don't talk about Dobby club.

I mean they could add another Frog Hopper or two to add to the collection I guess? Also, one would assume they are unlikely to be considering a permanent flat ride anytime soon on the Enterprise site or they wouldn't have put down brick paving? Surely we can't have Retrosquad in 2024... Though I think I probably said the same last year.

Had to Google it, that's random AF. Assumed it was some chocolate bar/biscuit/drink from that graphic. Very odd!

236: The Edge (of Glory), outdated Lady Gaga IP and "an Easter egg" to Stealth. Sorted.

When you factor in that approximately 92% of MAP holders also hold an RAP pass judging by the MAP group, the queues for this thing are gonna be GRIM.

Lots of talk of "lots of planting still to be done" and such but spoiler alert, plants need time to grow. Wouldn't surprise me if there isn't much more greenery come opening... Also according to Shane Sandwich, the garden bits around the logo aren't going to be fenced in, so cue hundreds of kids trampling and damaging the plants anyway...

I would genuinely be over the moon (no really) if Thorpe got new pathways like that, because so many of them are an absolute mess - in particular outside DBGTROTD into the "Jungle" area. Looks like a massive amount of work is being done at Chessie, good to see - maybe Thorpe will see the same for 2024 and Exodus vs 2023 and Jumanji - the work on Swarm would suggest they are at least aware of the state of the place!

Very true - 2022 season seemed pretty decent for downtime at Thorpe, other than Dezza Brown having lots of bits broken but that now makes sense with GHOST TRAIN coming. Like has been said before though, with all those ageing flats, it's a bit of a ticking time bomb. But at least they HAVE flat rides

Get Tidal new effect working Become a 2 day park Priorities m8.

Random thought - the concept art shows posters "giving a nod" (a phrase you may have not heard before) to other areas in the park - some past, some present - yet elsewhere it's been pointed out that tHe ISlAND LiKE nO OtHEr is no longer referring to areas by name/area any more signpost wise etc. Seems very Thorpe to me. In other news that shouldn't be in this thread but is, I see Containment shipping container is gone, and Depth Charge is getting a repaint - at least, the lower part of the tower. Impressive.

I see from the latest drone video thing on the Youtube that... Funk & Fly doesn't appear to be in place yet and maybe isn't coming back Enterprise is well and truly gone Sub Terra has a brand new queue line 😵 Also from the video - the Smiler track don't 'arf need a repaint now - it looks orange in parts....! Seems to have weathered far worse than SAW.

Yes but what does @JoshC. think? 🤔

Ideal space for dry docking The Thorpe Belle and bringing back Saw Alive all year round in a new location.

Tin shed station is looking very shed like from the recent Shane Sandwich update. Also they mention about lots of planting still to be done - I would bet money on the fact that Merlin don't buy in established trees/plants as per the photos and just hope they'll survive and grow! Mandrill Mayhem track and main theming statue looking gooood though. I do like that green a lot. Petition to make Exodus' track not black/brown/grey plz.

Mate, I basically posted on here that Derren Brown's Ghost Train was going to be related to trains before that was even known, and no-one batted an eye lid - that wasn't me being psychic that was me posting something because I knew it to be the case To prove your psychic abilities though, what date do you believe Ghost Train at Thorpe will open?

Nice concept art. But please... not the Victorian carriage. Son's crying now.

They meant over the year, the year being 2023.
