RE: motion sickness - Fun fact, I was sick in the exit corridoor of XNWO when it used to go backwards. I would have done it on a patch of dirt but it used to take. so. damn. long. to get out. And it still does.

Since most of the rides/themes at Thorpe are apocalyptic and full of destruction, expect some hasty rethemes for 2021. I got this list straight from Park Pixie so she gonna get in BIG trouble. Nemesis InFun - No? The Walking Alive People: The Ride Pleasant: The Ride Swoopy Swoopy Fun Woosh Darren Brown's Empty Rush Hour Train

Might be worth starting a 2021 thread soon I reckon 👀 How long before Black Mirror becomes new for 2021 I wonder?

Also, we need to start again because the scare mazes in DBGTROTD and TWDTR aren't included #fix #thisforumhatesDarrenBrown #typical

GUD MAWNING! Sorry just noticed this thread, can we start again so I can take part please, cheers lads.

When bae does a video about bae ❤️

Our Towers visit has been pushed back to mid June but I think that's extremely optimistic.... plus we combine it with staying in Uttoxeter and having a beer or 5, and can't see that being an option then! Our backup plan is September!

Nothing much to add to this discussion really, other than it's been an interesting read! I can't see the future looking too bright for DBGTROTD and would agree with @JoshC. to be honest... can't see that it will open in 2020 at all. It would take quite some retheme to change it to something else minus VR. It has been, and is going to continue to be, a huge problem for the park. One thing I will say - and have always said - the show building exterior (generally), the pre-show, and above all else, the Victorian carriage exterior, the tube train interiors, the Underground station and the fake shop (minus the guy in the white t-shirt) are all pretty much world class - and I say that without a sense of irony at all. They've nailed those. It's just such a shame that the rest has always been a bit of a confused mess. Maybe that bodes well for keeping it and rehashing it to something else, I don't know. For it to be removed in it's entirity after the Derren IP expires, or before, would be unheard of - but I don't think it's out of the question. The money pot isn't never ending, and there comes a point where you have to admit defeat, especially with the added complication of coronavirus (and the very valid points about the storyline featuring corona symptoms, plus people probably not wanting doom and gloom when they can finally go to a theme park after all this has passed) - it's going to be morbidly fascinating what happens next.

All credit to you dealing with them. I couldn't.

Our King and Queen have blessed us! Click play and feel the immersion - I've started it at an awe inspiring point.

As I've said to friends and colleagues - situations like this with panic buying etc. reaffirm my beliefs that I hate 99% of the general public. Can't begin to imagine the absolute idiots (to put it mildly) that retail staff are having to deal with.

Looking forward to some cringe for breakfast If you are a grown man and want to ride this coaster, make sure you get down early in the day #goodadvice

I see Legoland have painted markers in the queues to leave a gap from the group in front.

Any idea what brand of tarmac please? I quite like the work that's been done to Vampy tbh, fair play. Stealth's broken green light bulb and Swarm's brown RSJs and weather ravaged wood panels say hi.

Surely not? Said this before, but who remembers the not one - but two - photo points when it first opened? That face in a jar thing never worked did it, haha. Shoutout to this classic video. Also - bit OT - but never seen this video before: Bless you Derren, I still love ya. "Ghost Trains by their definition are generally a bit rubbish" 😬 If this was genuinely Thorpe's biggest investment ever, which it probably was, no wonder they haven't allowed funds for anything substantial in 4 years.

No live actors in BML according to the map. Also, looks like you get to play Blockbusters inside.

Corona virus could make some of the FRIGHT NIGHTS mazes far more iMMerSiVE.

Very nice, I will be printing the new website off to put on my fridge.

BREAKING: It feels like a hot minute since Black Mirror was announced, but ya boi @Glitch will be the controller of the #glitch this #springysummmerthing on the Island Like No Other.

Never a truer word spoken. I do wonder how many of the holders children who actually have a bona-fide condition meaning they can't queue vs. those that just don't like having to wait for something in this instant gratification, bubble-wrapped world we now live in.... Funny that one of the most talked about things on the MAP group is RAP passes. Almost as if more people have them than don't...

Double post but if this happened to me I would be straight to GUEST SERVICES. Now that's what I call a Living Nightmare.

No mention of the green light on Stealth being fixed in that press release, gutted. That Black Mirror blurb reads like the spin they gave to DBGT. Am guessing Nick Hutson is probably beavering away right now on some sound effects for the glitches/replays for Hyperspring. Agree 100% with the cOSmiC 6 ChAlLeNGe - people don't care about this, other than a handful of over ambitious MAPpers who would fight to the death for a pop badge.

I doubt Thorpe Park even know that themselves yet, considering that all of a sudden at 9am it was "announcement coming at 10am" from nowhere, with no cohesion to any of the previous tHoRpePaRk posts. My prediction is incedibly long queues due to low throughput, and guests coming off afterwards saying was that it/it's not worth the queue/head straight to guestservices and complain for some fastpasses. Good to see Thorpe going back to their favourite theme of dark and apocalyptic though.

I was a bit less subtle and just typed Black Mirror in a post instead. Hope it doesn't have live actors in as year round attractions with live actors have an amazing track history. And yes - socials have confirmed entrance will be behind Colossus so therefore must be the Living Nightmare space. Look out for that yellow schoolbus in the new attraction.

It's mind boggling really how DBGT got green-lighted in the first place really, with the multi-million cost thrown about... I guess maybe it could have worked out.... maybe.
