  1. People thinking it's going to look like the concept art are absolutely delusional, much like the park

     

    Here's an example

     

    Detonator - Concept Art

    Detonator - What You're Actually Getting

    This will be ****. Make no mistake.

    There's a loop that plays around Detonator from 2016 to present day and I just can't seem to find it. It's an orchestral sounding tune with sound effects from Angry Birds. I have no idea if anyone has it, but anyone does PLEASE let me know and send it if you can.

     

    Kind regards,

    I managed to find the original artist years ago and purchased a copy. Because of my impressive organisational skills, I removed the original metadata of the artist and track name, so have no idea what it was called now. But this is the clip you are after. 

     

    I'm not all bad on here 😉

    I would love to see a tent maze in that area!!

     

     

    I mean we do have the big top entrance mouth thing out for carnivals right now so I guess it could be a possibility.

    Could we finally see the return of The Big Top 👀

     

    Please just let it die already.

     

    It's not coming back. It's never coming back. The more you speculate it coming back, the less of a chance it will happen. 

     

    Get over it. It's not going to happen. Ever.

    Double post - apologies!

     

    I had to do some digging, but I wans't imagining things! Here's a pic from the SimWorx website, which definitely seems to show leg ticklers installed:

    Maybe they removed them because of reliability or maybe it turned out to be a bit of a trip hazard in such an enclosed space considering the staff used to have to run up and down, who knows! Would love to see them return though.

     

    Those aren't leg ticklers. Leg ticklers require the gap to be open and free to move in a 180 degree fashion. Those are just cables hanging out of the ventilation plates for the PCs. Sorry to burst your bubble. 

  5. Just a note on Aramark

     

    On my visit to Chessington yesterday, my group and I deliberately left the park, to have a meal at the neighbouring Beefeater, and then re-entered. Saved a considerable amount, and the food quality was far superior.

     

    That says it all.

    Serious question - do we think there's any budget to get a new entrance screen for 2024? To fix the dead pixel issue, Thorpe seemingly moved the dead pixel sections to the bottom of the screen, and then hid them by the bottom part having a permanent black "wave" so they don't need to be on. However, watching recent vlogs, more sections of dead pixels have now appeared smack bang in the centre of the screen. I'd be inclined to have the thing switched off and covered with a vinyl or poster to be honest.... not a good first impression as you enter the park.

    I'm not 100% sure if the park own the hardware or if it's leased. What I do know is that https://www.adi.tv/ were the ones who installed it. So either the park don't have/arent willing to spend the budget to fix it, or adi's maintenance service is piss poor, which I am very sure it's not. They're one of the leaders in this space.

    All depends on the theme I guess

     

    The theme will 100% be something that is rundown, old and rotting. Anything that the park doesn't need to actively maintain. That's all Merlin comes up with when it comes to themes. Just look at World of Jumanji, they can literally let it overgrow naturally, and it will be completely on brand.

    They envisaged the original concept for the ride so it’s only fair that they make it work


    They've literally had 6 years to make it work, if they haven't achieved it in that time, they never will. 


    Everyone knows by now to go in with extremely low expectations, then you wont be disappointed when it turns out to be a shambles.
