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.
-
Indeedy. I'm guessing though that Thorpe weren't given the budget to do anything? (ever) Towers 40th needs a bouncy castle NOW.
-
I think that reference would be wasted on the Velvet Coaster loving community 😁 That's a great video shared above - but where's Nemesis Sub Terra? Also, I hope Towers get a little flowerbed in the shape of 40, otherwise Thorpe will have one over them there.
-
If they get any proper Oktoberfest beers in at all (even the mainstream ones), they'll be better than their normal offerings - so I'm down! I'm all for this, and would even be tempted to visit for a second time in a year to attend... but I'm not down with the Fosters glass as circled by @Glitch above 😛 If only they'd have this event at Thorpe

If Thorpe don't have a 5 year plan, they aren't going to tell you, and will tell you they do have one. If they do have a 5 year plan, they aren't going to tell you what it is. If social media is to be believed, the idea of charging your phone by screaming on TWD The Ride was definitely not just a one off PR stunt and was of course a trial that definitely didn't just happen to last the night of the press launch and then never be seen again.

Got my RIP bundle ticket - only 8 months to go.... 😋

Just taken a glance at the comments on Thorpe's recent 2020 social media posts. So much hate, and that isn't just from hard to please can't win enthusiasts. All the general public want is a new - not rehashed - coaster. The general public are now as tired of Thorpe's PR and false hope as RMC thirsty enthusiasts were 5 years ago. If 2019 was a tough year for gate figures, then 2020 is going to be even tougher. People don't want "experiences". People don't want actor led attractions all year round. People don't want a tent with old consoles in. People don't want upcharge attractions that add to the entrance price. People probably do want to leave the car park in a timely fashion. #NewFor2020 People. Want. A. Big. Massive. Themed. Tangible. VR Free. Coaster.... And wanting that after eight years isn't too much to ask. If Alton get another "next big thing" before Thorpe does then it's clear where Merlin's priorities lie. But still, it's great to go to a park and see an SBNO sky swat, log flume and scare maze - right lads? PS. Thank goodness for Stealth.

😂😂😂 There's no phrase I hate more in social meeeeedya than "It's ya gal....."

"Waaaaaadisupguys, I've woken up to some VERY exciting news coming from the THORPE PARK RESORT...."

New PicSolve units if that's the quality of pictures they sell nowadays

Looking forward to Jack Silkstone's 15 minute video analysing two words
-
Yes that's how I read it too - so you can chose where to use them. Also - the announcement video Tulleys just released explaining the different tickets, plus the website, would imply to me that the 11th haunt is a new maze. But could be wrong. I forgot to put it on here at the time (fail) but the unlimited visits to each haunt with a standard ticket was confirmed on their Facebook/socials (but not on the website) on Black Friday, as I remember discussing the controversial change with my usual Tulley's partner at the time! 😮 EDIT: Proof 4 da h8ers

Do not insult our mighty Lord.

They've stopped because groundwork has started for the RMC lads.
-
Going to grab the RIP package in the Valentine's day sale for £85 - should have really done it in the Black Friday one for £75. Still seems a good deal with £10 food voucher and a t-shirt, however, we normally go on a Saturday night but think we'll pick our day very carefully because of the new re-run option on mazes. Hoping we don't get mugged off versus other years. Wonder if we'll be able to have 12 goes on Creepy Cottage this year still 😂
