That's a shame... we had a bit of confusion at the end as the door wouldn't open even though we had "escaped" but other than that, I thought it was a decent attraction.

Intrigued as to how Containment has changed - was genuinely impressed from experiencing it in 2015

They are actually rather good (from memory) - maybe that was the Maritime red ale talking but yes, I've had them a couple of times and have no complaints

Yep, looking forward to seeing the varying man bags all the "lads" from Love Island have. I am indeed going - I got a ticket because Merlin were sad that I hadn't visited any of their parks this year, and they wanted to rectify the situation Actual reason is: a friend of mine runs an attractions blog/website so thought he'd ask for tickets!

Whilst some close monorails, Paulton's opens a new one

I'm looking forward to going and dropping my complimentary kebab on Stealth, thus rendering it inoperable for the rest of the season as per MOS last year. I'm going to go and complain to guest services as soon as I arrive that I've managed to get a ticket to press night as I'm not even a proper enthusiast, and demand fastracks.

A bubble like no other.

Thanks Mega-Lite for your well wishes, I have 2 weeks to prepare myself. BaronC. - I only visit but once a year but when I do visit, I break Stealth <3

Looking forward to my first ride on Stealth - and visit to a Merlin park - this year on 28th September (Fingers crossed of course that Stealth behaves and is open...)

Sorry for double post but - it's Benin innit?

Cos Thorpe Park luv da BaNTs

RE: Circus World. I remember it, and remember going to the Circus when I was a teenager with a mate at Chessie because of the hot acrobats - did I just say that out loud? I remember the Clown Coaster with that drum - that I was convinced would give you an electric shock (not quite sure where that came from) and the Juggler, which looked straight out of a fairground with it's garish backdrop. Can't believe the casual slagging of original Bubbleworks, how very dare you Original Vamp, Bubbles and an awesomely themed McDonalds, thems were the days I tell ye! 59p for a burger inside a Merlin park, unbelivable scenes.

Looks like my source on the Bargain Hunt maze was incorrect, sorry guys.

Bring on the 28th ?

Hilarious that one of the press releases says "The living billboard which soaked unaware passing commuters in blood and guts this morning in London...." No it didn't. You'd get a lawsuit on your hands.

Can't say too much but the new maze is going to be a right bobby dazzler.

Said before and said it again, that's quite clearly theming

I can't see anything on the decision to say that the drop feature hasn't been approved? Also on the planning permission website - a segway track for Go Ape was approved, not sure if that's been discussed/spotted or not...

Chessington saying the whole of Mystic East will be shut from 11th September and have confirmed that Peeking Heights is not returning.

Hey! There's a Meet Ups sub forum on here if you go back to the index page I'm sure you'd be welcome! It's not invite only - you just have to let the meet organisers know you are coming so they know numbers.

Heard a rumour that the new IP is going to be Bargain Hunt scare zone with all the actors dressed up like David Dickinson - and if you fail Containment this year you get covered in lots of orange fake tan and actors around the park will be try and scare you more?

What co-incidental timing http://www.halloweenattractions.co.uk/haunts/shocktoberfest This page shows the new names Twisted Clowns 3D and VIXI but the links don't redirect to the new pages yet.

Just spotted this reply - oh dear. Still showing as down #PrayForRush

Wonder what happened to that demolition worker who posted on Twitter that the ride was called "Wickerman" all those moons ago Secrecy contract? What contract?

It's beyond me why they don't say "rollercoaster" anywhere in the advertising and signage around the site.
