  1. 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.

    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
  7. 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.
  9. They've stopped because groundwork has started for the RMC lads.
  10. 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 😂

    I thought Derren Brown's Ghost Train was the future of theme parks? 😮

    Gotta laugh at the eNThuSiAstS losing their shiz over the AromaPrime tweet t'other day and then it ends up being a massive let down, obvs. I'm sure being able to make your humble abode smell like a horror maze is 100% what the general public want from Thorpe as new for 2020.
  13. Not really a meme but snapped this at home and sent to @JoshC. - coffee for true eNThuSiaStS....
  14. And get the kids off their nuts on as many Freestyle refills as possible.

    If Jungle Escape doesn't come back this year - what an incredible waste of money and short sighted that was... so very Thorpe.
  16. MattyMoo replied to 2542464's topic in The Past
    My expectations are incredibly low, and I'm shocked that the IP in question is risking it personally, if all is to be believed Another short term investment for sure, and again shows a ping-ponging in direction - if there is any at all - for the park.
  17. Head back, face forwards and brace yourself....
  18. It had to be removed because ghostbusters were called in during closed season and they established that the constant movement of the ship had disturbed an ancient burial ground.
  19. Black Bucaneer is back according to a tweet from Chessington - but now it's blue! Meanwhile, Thorpe have announced.... well nothing (officially anyway)
  20. Me either. Fond memories of sitting down with the missus each week last closed season to watch the updates, our floating DBGT train carriage in the background, wearing our Smiler onesies, drinking from our oversized Colossus cups and tucking into our back up closed-season stock of non-branded overpriced pick and mix from The Dome, our necks laden down by our MAP lanyard encrusted in numerous pop badges we stole from small children and staff members. Still haven't opened the Stealth condoms though.

    Cheers big man, so proud. I'd be even prouder if I also knew what it meant, but I'm sure it's something very impressive that I need to add to my LinkedIn profile at the earliest opportunity.
  22. How did they come about with the idea of a man in a t-shirt in the gift shop section last season?
  23. MattyMoo replied to 2542464's topic in The Past
    He didn't say it wasn't. He just from nowhere speculates that it won't - and talks for a good few minutes about it. Like @Ivsetti said - it's obvious Mr. Sick has friends high up at Thorpe and it's just "free" advertising for them... so my guess is that he has been told something.
  24. MattyMoo replied to 2542464's topic in The Past
    Why has Jack Sickstone not covered this? He has however suggested in his new video, seemingly with no visible evidence from anywhere to back this up, that Living Nightmare won't be returning this year. How.... interesting.
  25. Cheers chaps - that's our quota of sensible discussion completed for this week. Can they really tart up Tomb Blaster again? I suppose people still do love in the dark pew pew shooty laser ride things.
