Exactly. Never forget the train carriage...

Awesome. Carry on as you were Merlin! :-)

Literally no words, just saw that video on Facebook. Something has gone seriously seriously wrong for that to happen... Assume lap bar not locked correctly or she was too short to ride? Anything is possible with a Chinese knock off I suppose The poor girl had no chance judging by how bent the safety barrier was after she was thrown into it

@RubyRed95 This made me/us laugh and that's all that matters.

This aren't my listings (!) but someone is having a massive clearout on eBay of lots of Merlin merch/pins/badges... http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/notwhoyouthink/ All I want is a Smiler Hoodie though tbh

That was top secret information.

Vicky Balch is back in the papers today doing a nude photoshoot because obviously a lingerie shoot wasn't enough publicity...

Platform 15 can't come back because Loggers is reopening this year.

I hate to be defeatist but you may find that the X7 doesn't get you there early enough if you are a member of staff.

They are definitely sorting out some foundations in Old Town as those rows of triangular shaped long wire things (called continuous wire chairs) that you can see below the boat are used in concrete slabs. I only know this as it's my job haha.

Yes would agree that's just pretty unlucky with Stealth - she's normally quite well behaved!

@Mitchada04

Slightly off topic but I genuinely keep thinking this topic is "Thorpe Fam"

My job here is done. PS. I genuinely can't make the 25th

If this ends up being on the Saturday then alas I can't make it (sad times) - it's my first day at my new job, and I'm just really hoping that demon costume still fits.

Would've been Flying Fish or Loggers back in the olden days when you risked injury from the bushes on the Flying Fish haha That queue line never really felt like you were queuing, you just felt you were in a garden centre No loitering on the bridge please! Also - I've been sick on backwards X. Too many chocolate buttons before riding - believe me, that exit took FOREVER when you can feel the chunder a-coming....

As a supplier of reinforcement mesh and bar, that's one intense mesh double layer there just waiting for concrete, lads.

Do you think they'll remove the signage and characters on the Ice Age building if it's SBNO? Did they do that for Charlie last year? I spy more fences to hide the closures...

Very odd in the current climate to spend money on something one year for it to be SBNO the next...

Well it has done for Merlin anyway

<5/10.... so maybe 4.5? In other news, I propose it a ban-worthy offence to refer to this ride as DBGT, it is now DBGTROTD.

I'M STOKED. The "new" name just sounds tacked on to me - probably like the new ending in the converted bit of the shop? Disclaimer: I still think the themeing, grandure of the train itself and the shop is awesome, so I've never been totally negative about DBGTROTD.

My cousin on FaceyB! He was supposed to go to Turtle Bay last night for a party but that's closed too - he said that the place is flooded from rainwater from the broken roof.

Apparently TGI Fridays has a problem with their roof so is closed at present...?

Can confirm it's not going backwards lads.
