That's no way to talk about Shawn Sanbrooke ?

Same old same old with the Merlin PR machine, @pluk.

Looking forward to JackSilkstone's Closed Season Update video with a thumbnail that says "NEW HYPERCOASTER CONFIRMED?!?!?!?" or similar ?

Good detective work @EpicSmatty Can't say this has got my "HYPD".

That's a massive tie in if true, HYPD have an incredible 3000 subscribers on YouTube ? Actually to be fair they have a decentish amount of "likes" on Facebook and Twitch but yeah.... meh. Love all the people thinking it's going to be a Hyper coaster announcement, wouldn't put it past Merlin doing that on purpose after recent tormenting of the enthusiast "community" ? Unlike Paulton's who sound like they are getting a Mack after hinting it...

C'mon guys, Blackpool being open is better than nothing.

Just been looking at all the other social media accounts to do with Tornado Springs - Thorpe could learn a thing or too with promotion from Paulton's I think. Intrigued as to what's going to be announced!

Yet ?

Agree, it's not offensive. It's just absolutely pathetic and childish, and does nothing positive in terms of public perception, either of MAP holders or Thorpe Park as a whole. Slow clap time. It's lazy, heavy handed, utter nonsense and ill thought out, which is true of many of Thorpe's decisions and PR. Post now, think later. But hey, that's the world of social media and iNflUenCinG guys. Maybe 2019 will see that mobile phone charging service open on The Walking Dead The Ride and that B.O. ban will finally be enforced on Stealth.

My favourite comment on that FB post of Thorpe's was "10 minutes on the MAP group suggests this is very wrong ?" I'm saying nothing... Oh and also someone has commented this, bravo:

That last post from Thorpe has killed me. No words. Again.

I've got my visit pencilled in for 4th April, so am anticipating the park to be dead considering it's closed the day before. Should ruddy hope so anyway. Last year we went at a similar time - most things were walk on except Wickerman (obvs) and Galactica, because of slow loading (obvs). Maybe this year my mates I'm going with will actually get to go on Galactica, and Rita too since that was down all day

Ride of their life on DBGTROTD / tickling their knees a couple of times. I could do that m8.

They also don't proof read the subtitles before uploading. "Ghsot Train". It may be said that we are too quick to criticise Merlin - but they make it too easy!

Did the thief pay £8 to get out of the car park by booking online, go to a kiosk to pay £10 or think yolo and splash the cash paying £15 to get out? I know how difficult it was to pay for my parking online at Fright Nights personally ?

Sorry boss - use your Mod powers to delete mine and pretend it never happened ? I'm 36 this year. Sake.

It's also my birthday this year.

Blimey that Sticky Sisters obviously was very popular then.

Indeed. Having an attraction to eat some queues is better than nothing

Not a fan of I'm A Celeb - but if this is removed without a replacement attraction, that's one less attraction on park and more queues elsewhere. I guess it's pretty safe to assume there is nothing new for 2019, attraction or ride wise...?

Tornado Springs sounds vaguely (Cal)Amity Cove-ish Paulton's don't mess about in announcing their plans do they? We're barely into 2019!

Colossus was given a lot of attention over closed season last year, they half painted a couple of the supports but poor old Merlin always get slated, it's better than nothing.

I'd take a topspin over any of Thorpe's coasters m8 ??

It looks like to me it's being removed ?

Maybe it was on purpose and Pretty Little Thing exchanged that RT from BPB for an old Wild Mouse carriage lads.
