Some people say that Thorpe Park answer my questions... some people say that I am Jart... all I know is - I'll hold your bags.

I just hope they cracked the code to leave One would hope that now the date of 31st March is out there, it does open on the 31st March Anyway we are forgetting the most crucial question - have Merlin butchered the lovely entrance sign to add ROTD to it or not? A bit of sticky vinyl on it would look totes ridic.

Oh yes, didn't spot that DBGTROTD is part of the Jungle on the map legend!

My sentiments exactly Adam - I guess SAW could easily become a saw mill... when does that IP run out?

Intrigued as to what signage will/won't be outside Loggers this season. When you see the new name for DBGT written out on the map, you can see how ridiculous it looks I wonder if DBGTROTD will ever be in an "area" or whether it is just by itself? Old Town is a very loose theme considering it includes SAW and Slammer, am guessing perhaps once the SAW theme is no more it can then be rethemed to whatever Old Town is or will become. I do like the Amity logo

Was discussing this the other day - I'd hope it gets replaced with a new Top Spin as that area would seem so odd without it as it's the focal point being lower down... however, I can't see them doing that, personally. I can't imagine CWOA without Ramases, sad times! She really doesn't sound healthy though, would be interested to see other clips from the day. Note as well in the clip that the fountains aren't operating - wonder if that's because the weather is too cold or they just don't want to shoot water in to the ageing ride anymore.

Merlin love to put opening dates/info dates into the public domain that then don't happen, they thrive on social media backlash

Yep it doesn't even go upside down during that "cycle" - anyone know if the operators offered the 2nd go straight afterwards? I'd want to get off after that, that is, provided I could still hear and my eardrums hadn't perished from that god awful noise. RIP Ramases Revenge What a difference 4 years makes...

Indeed - how can it open without the "lock" operating?

Blimey, Derren is in the videos

I assume that California sign is to "fit in" with SeaLion bay?

Oh dear, she doesn't sound very well! What a truly pathetic cycle it is too nowadays...

Even though I can't attend the meet - can I say the system employed by @Ryan for paying at Frankie & Bennies on the Guildford meet was faultless, good work sir.

It works - think Facebook and consequently Instagram too are having some issues this evening - took a while to appear but it did appear!

Amazing stuff as always. Bravo to all concerned!

I do try

I can't help but notice a date has been removed from this post... https://www.thorpepark.com/blog/derren-browns-ghost-train-rise-of-the-demon-service-updates

Vicky Balch got anything to say on the matter?

I predict April 14th for opening date... and that WC16 will feature at train carriage.

That sign really is huge, and people will no-way miss it at all and think they are still going into Transylvania... even if they were that silly, I'm sure the extensive rethemeing in the area will make it clear that Transylvania is no more and that this isn't simply just a rename.

Just a point - on the signpost on Theme UK, ADVENTURE POINT and WILD WOODS are in block capitals but everything else is in normal type

Love how they even refer to it as DBGT in the blog, even Thorpe admit the title is too long Wonder how late in the season DBGTROTD is going to open then? Not quite sure why it won't be ready for opening but hey ho... I guess 4 months of closed season isn't very long is it? (!)

Well all things on social media seem to point to an 18th March opening still anyway... fingers crossed that's correct.

Just had a thought - they best not mess up the DBGT entrance sign (arguably one of the best things about the ride) when it becomes DBGTROTD #prayforthelightupbluesign

I still believe the Twitters tbh m8, social media don't never get nuffing wrong!
