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!

Dat Safari Skyway action doe <3

I might have to bet buying an AP in 2018 that Loggers is never coming back. Looks like my 2017 bet is safe. The longer it's shut, the condition of the thing can only surely get worse. As I've pointed out before - there are obvious structrual issues with the track supports as they are using temporary support systems in a number of places. One would assume getting Loggers open again to a standard that mega H&S conscious Merlin are happy with will take a lot of money - money that perhaps has had to be diverted down other "tracks"

I'm positive that the website is incorrect and will be open on peak days only as obviously it's not cost effective to have the number of staff it requires on the attraction when there isn't a queue to justify it. Thorpe don't want to be paying people to stand around when they could be sharing my demon outfit duties. If you think the computers running the VR had a hard time in the heat of those carriages, you try walking around in that demon monstrosity in a converted bit of shop, rumours that DBGTROTD is sponsored by Right Guard as yet TBC.

I'm saying nothing

Hilarious stuff, this is evidently going to be the trend going forward. Many thanks to Thorpe for making sure that their park is clean and tidy for the new season

On a different note - is the ride now just The Big One? When did Pepsi Max sponsorship end if so?

Not possible, Loggers is open for 2017 m8.

Was about to say the same thing re: metal building. Incredibly poor if that stays "as is". Maybe they'll put some plants in the way or something

"Netflix and Kill" is a good pun and I commend them for that

That's the plan mid-season when they start making cut backs, but you aren't supposed to know that yet.

Black Buccaneer looks fab. I know the grey weather doesn't help, but in those photos my goodness doesn't Chessie look run down? What a state.
