That or their standards for retention are extremely low 😉

Lol at calling Walking Dead and Hyperia part of Thorpe's "Golden Era". Probably is just one last "DO YOU GET THE REFERENCE?" installation before he left. Maybe now rides will be focused on actual themeing elements rather than references and Easter eggs.

Mean I don't know anyone staff wise but been told someone called Josh Reynolds has moved over.

I've just realised something. So Towers is run by former Thorpe employees now. And suddenly the 4 wheelchair lifts all suddenly appear to be out of order (well Wickerman's had a sign but was working, think was more down to someone having crashed into it). Thorpe notoriously had wheelchair lifts for Saw and Inferno closed for years. Plus Fastrack sales are going through the roof. We're through the looking glass here people.

Went over the weekend. It is... problematic at the moment it feels. Yesterday the only thrill rides open were Toxicator, Nemesis, Rita and Wickerman. Even CBeebies Land had rides late opening so the families didn't feel left out either. The lack of supporting ride line up is telling. Heave Ho had a 20 minute queue at one point! Having things like Oblivion and RMT closed puts such a strain on the rest of the park, where the 11am openings drag things down even further. Families I think are at a loss for those not quite at 1.2m even more so currently. Something easily solved by filling in the currently abandoned spots that once homed flat rides. Yet there's no appetite. Wickerman's batching is still terrible. The pre-pre-show is asking for trouble the way they just let all the queues at merge enter. Smiler yesterday was quoting a 2.5 hour queue when it eventually opened. 90 minutes SRQ and "extended waits" for Fastrack and RAP. Fastrack was the prioritised queueline and the wheelchair lift for Smiler is currently broken. So yay for RAP users. Genuinely believe that if we didn't have RAP we wouldn't bother visiting.

Top Spin: The Musical?

Another square for Thorpe Bingo everyone!

Had some iconic rides on it over those early enthusiast years. Particularly over Fright Nights. How long will this grave be left before actual development happens I wonder?

Did they ever finish the Colossus repaint?

Some of the areas need refurbishment. Though Miniland has looked tired for over a decade. There was also mention of a second major attraction added round back of Minifigure Speedway to replace Skyrider. Though whilst Temu Cosmic Spin looks fun coaster wise the interactive element looks really poor. Hope they don't waste money on a B&M junior invert when they might as well get a Vekoma STC/SFC instead.

Lol. Towers has had 60+ min queues on stuff in CBeebies Land. Even bloody Sea-Life and Teacups have had queues. Don't think Lego has been much better. And that has the added plus point of RAP using the Fastrack queueline for 90% of stuff.

I remember backlash when Lego first went to digital RAP. I think the main problem with this was the lack of communication on top of not allowing the new all digital system to bed in a bit. Especially when adding in defined dates for when the RAP bookings open up this year. Still, people got what they wanted.

Free if you stay on site within a certain period. So you have to spend the ridiculous hotel rates to get one. "Free" by proxy.

I mean who could've forseen backlash when it was slyly (read not) announced on the same day the first batch of RAP bookings were made available? Surprised they've u-turned this quickly. But I'm sure RAP users won't complain when the situation hasn't changed this season.
