And Space Mountain's second phase of the refurb... For all of the burden it will cause, sure it will be worth it, BTM's been BEGGING for work to be done to it for years...

Robocoaster cars I believe was reported to be about... I don't think the building is big enough either to create suitable sized show scenes and fit the absolute axes of motion available to the cars as well... Put it high in the "unlikely" list... Even I'd say trackless would be more likely... Even if it won't be trackless...

Why can't we have nice things?

I wish we'd get a Neverland or Joravision themed ride one day over here... If only...

Loving playing Merlin bingo in the press release <3 Poor old Thirteen and its Psycoaster tag being forgotten...

Half of that article reads like they're recycling stuff from Thirteen and Smiler PR... Psychological ride to mess with your mind etc... Also you've got the WORLD'S FIRST angle with CUTTING EDGE technology... I hate Merlin's marketing speak being everywhere... So based upon all this stuff, there's BOUND to be a simulator as part of this, and probably some form of interactive walkthrough prior (probably using aspects from Oblivio's queueline or a mirror maze), in order to make it last 13 minutes (assuming that's accurate)... I've no interest in Derren Brown either, gotta love their lack of confidence in not being able to market a ride for being well, a ride...

Why is Smiler closed again? Oh yeah...

Thorpe will never resort to implementing such tactics in their own mazes... Nah, never... Given that part of your argument is something that has nothing to do with the Halloween events themselves, I find it rather flawed to say the least...

Black squares? Merlin's marketing is just so bloody dreadful... Bet the accidental leak has caused a bit of a "quick we better announce it proper" movement...

Least you know how we feel about PMBO... I'm not a fan of this VR stuff, just screams as an easy cop-out for lazy operators to not put any effort into the ride...

It does also have a restaurant and walkthrough thing themed to the Princessia series, so it's not just the Teacups retheme... Benefits of being run by a TV Studio I guess... I love parks who just throw random amounts of money at such things...

GREAT SCOTT!

This is replacing the Viking area, dunno what you mean by the Africa area disappearing... Sure it'll be of good quality, I hope the play area will be suitably Germanic...

When you're starting to pick days that you assume will be quiet (is Thorpe EVER quiet now?), then you're clearly not enjoying the park, otherwise you'd just go whenever you felt like it... You're not the only one sick of repetition here... Especially given that your highlighted issues are rather consistent throughout the year...

That's a fantastic lift hill...

Thorpe's PR team right now:

Have you BEEN on the Northern Line?

That really shows how careful you have to be as a business, how easy it is to just find random things out like that these days...

Don't see anyone 'crying' about the stuff over Air really, no one in the topic has flat out said it will never happen, just people thinking it's a stupid idea... Then again, most people on here who do have 'insider info' don't just go blurting it out publically all the time just because they crave the attention... Though I guess when you're no longer contracted by Merlin you can start saying whatever you like, even if it prevents you from getting any further 'inside' knowledge now...

The irony of you calling out people for pretending to know something is rather amazing...

Or (more likely), doesn't want Thorpe to be annoyed with this forum because the secret got leaked out... Whether or not you think the secretive angle works or not, shouldn't just blurt out any old information, because it does greatly annoy the parks if they've chosen something to remain away from the public until their own set release date...
