I'm just pleased to see one of the best Fright Nights mazes back all year round.

If you rebrand to CSTRVRS you might be in with a shout 🙃

It's taboo mate, not sure if you know but we are supposed to keep the secrets, that's very important, Darren himself said so.

At least the marketing for Exodus shouldn't be tedious or far reaching - "The UK's tallest rollercoaster". Simple. No need for the "UK's first Walking Dead themed coaster" or some nonsense like that

Watching XODS deconstruction updates from SLKSTN, I can't help thinking how much better the newly exposed skyline would be without Slammer SBNO. Solution: get Slammer working again.

Surprised there's been nothing official teasing the 2023 season yet from Thorpe to be honest (other than messing about with things on the app to wind up enthoooosiasts).

I wouldn't read toooo much into it being given it's full title on the app. Whoever put it back on probably forgot it used to be just called Ghost Train on there.

You can just smell that upcharge and pop badge already.

For crying out loud, just give me the mod keys already, this is more of a SHAMBLES than my last ride on DBGTROTD. Please direct me to guest services. I mean, it probably will open in June by the time traditional delays get factored in - shout out to the Smiler.

Thorpe have said that they are retiring from the theme park industry but not industry in general, so I think Rocky might be coming back somehow.

Is that sarcasm m8? January 2023 plus 15 months = mid April 2024?

And that's just the headset straps. Derren hologram spotted on Thorpe Farm, I can confirm.

Looks in cracking condition to me. Rocky Expressodus confirmed 🤠

I am literally SO SICK(stone) of the phrase Easter Eggs. In EVERY. SINGLE. VLOG. AND. PIECE. OF. MARKETING.

Rocky Express?

Very true on the water ride front, you would imagine that Rumba (not so) Rapids must be earmarked for future development.

From CWoA's twitter - how good does this look? Queue once open and throughput maybe not so much, but still 😁

TWD and Black Mirror - the latter especially - are going nowhere for now, I would imagine Black Mirror is a 5 year IP licence, and would expect maybe for them to tweak it a little before that runs out. I could even see TWD staying put once the IP goes, it just becomes a generic zombie ride of sorts? Or would that finally be the nail in the coffin for that pyramid to be removed? Obviously that would be the same time as Black Mirror removal, so maybe that area could be earmarked for the next coaster after Exodus... unless they finally use the island behind Swarm - which would have not been cheap to create and sit there unused, make no mistake. Agree about SAW queue line, but also add into that the abysmal state of Swarm's queue and station walls that need attention.

55 likes on that "You know EXACTLY what is happening" comment on Youtube now 👀 Jokes aside, I do like Jack, Archie & Kieran, they are passionate guys and clearly always have loved the park, and are pretty damn talented with visuals/promos etc. - at almost certainly a far cheaper cost to Thorpe Park vs. an established filmmaker/production company... but there is a genuine issue now where the general public will now continue to call them out for speculation for clicks when they know anyway. There's no guarantee that Jack knows about DBGTROTD of course, but - I'd be pretty certain he does, as the chaps are clearly are well-in with Merlin now in terms of future plans and behind the scenes stuff.... the on-site Exodus updates are very cool and am glad he is able to share those with us mind you!

I'm hoping that Alice mentions it in her Welcome Back to the Island video to kick off 2023. At least the Stealth light got fixed somewhere along the line.

In the words of Sum 41, why am I still waiting.

Sounds like perfect Merlin logic to me. Rocky Express confirmed new location - new storyline where you get on the Victorian train, but end up on a tube train, then get off and end up on a wild-west themed train that goes round and round in a circle.

I swear this comment wasn't me.

It's gonna be called SLKSTN The Ride, what with having EAsTeR eGgS all over the park for him, they may as well take it one step further and give him his own ride 😍Shane Sandwich is going to erect Rocky Express in his back garden, that's the latest I've heard 🤫

On the plus side, good to see Smiler getting some repainting in the indoor queueline and exit.
