Was impressed with the coffee and water deal at Costa in The Dome as I often find myself drinking lots of water during the day, so for me it was a good season.

But the vloggers invited to the Press Night were really impressed with Fright Nights vs. Scarefest, this doesn't make an sense to me No problems with lack of actors that night either, how strange...

This is my biggest "fear" - being disappointed with a maze like that... I haven't been to Thorpe FN's this year, if I'd not visited early Summer and had my Stealth fix I might have been more tempted. I'd prefer paying for a ticket that allows multiple maze runthroughs (a la Tulleys) but I just can't see them being able to work that with capacity, especially if they can't even get the timed slots to work meaning people are paying for tickets they can't use.

Underrated pun

Maybe Legacy has been installed by the same people involved with the new for 2021 Tidal Wave fire effect 🤔

Same as Thorpe I suppose! Just looked back and I also managed 21 maze runthroughs in 2019. I am nothing if consistent. Similarly, Coven & Cottage were my bae mazes of 2019 also so I was gassed that they are still up there for me.

Give me a Tulleys "re-ride the maze" style ticket and we'll talk. I can only go to Fright Nights if I do Creak Freak 8 times as per 2019.

This. £10 just seems a heck of a lot to me...

I did - paid for the ticket though (RIP Pass bought in February 2019) - have to say, that's a complete no brainer, never queued all night, multiple runs through mazes, a drink, £10 of food and a t-shirt all for £87! Maze count: Coven of 13: 5 Hellements: 1 Creepy Cottage: 4 Twisted Clowns: 2 Wastelands: 2 Chop Shop: 2 The Island: 1 The Cellar: 3 Haunted Hayride: 1 In Merlin terms, that's £210 worth of mazes Coven Of 13 was evidently a highlight, and Cottage always is too - mainly we feel the actors there have to work even harder than the others.

Just watching Jack's video - state of that paintwork behind the new sign for Superspark!

I can but hope... Stranger Things Dodgems incoming?

Defo is, Park Pixie told me.

Just join it up and make it a full loop and increase the throughput. Now pay me my creativity fee plz.

True.... we went to Bath festival on Saturday though and they did scan everyone! Victorious have made it clear they will do the same, but appreciate those who want to beat the system can do.

Though it hasn't been mentioned at all thus far, do you reckon Tulleys will only allow access with Covid accreditation via the NHS app? Too early to speculate?

SHOTS FIRED 😁 New Thorpe Maze confirmed as being called Fulleys Tarm.

So this Friday, 13th August Tulleys reveal their replacement for The Wreckoning - would probably explain why Thorpe are starting to drop hints... I think the word "volts" makes it explicitly clear to me that Big Top is returning. Case closed.

I was just saying to Josh you do have to genuinely wonder if they have got a package deal going because it does seem incredibly odd to go for this choice when there are no doubt cheaper options available!

Does anyone know if the pop up vaccine centre has a separate RAP queue please and do PMAP holders get a pop badge?

Island Access Thorpe Park Mania Hub coming soon.

No it's not Kay Burley xoxo

Bravo for this post.

So do we think they'll ever fix the TV screens or.....?

Yes was saying to Josh - I'm a huge pop and specifically Carly Rae (Bae) Jepsen fan but this just feels tacky to me. Like I pointed out on twitter, surely a better way of making the area more "immersive" would be to fix the TVs showing rolling news and audio in the queue line? How long has it been since they worked?! Far more integral to the "immersion" than audio from a phone box it you ask me.

Go on the Merlin Annual Passholders Facebook group... a RAP pass seems a rite of passage. You have to wonder how many children "don't want to queue" rather than actually "can't queue". People then complain that the RAP queue was "as big as the main queue" - proof in my mind of an abused and broken system. What about make a RAP VIP queue, the MAP'pers would be all over that...
