So this has triggered me. There’s a guy on Instagram making really positive theme park content about riding all the rollercoasters in the Uk. As a result he’s been getting a lot of press and was even on the radio yesterday. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4gzwd1mw17o.amp he was given a world record who I assume heart radio set up with GWR as a good press piece for riding 55 rollercoasters in one week. Now that may not be the actual WR however it’s the first to be validated and Tbf any enthusiast could probably do this…. I assume though the cost might be quite high . However despite all his positive content all I’ve seen is a load of jealousy from enthusiasts trying to bring him down and tell GWR off. why is this the case why can’t enthusiasts just support eachother and fundamentally be kind?

You’d think a combo ticket would work well here as long as WB want the collaboration seeing as it still sells out months in advance. In other news has Johnny B jumped ships yet to work on the you can do whatever you like no matter the cost project yet?

Look forward to it and especially the vloggers economy it will create! I might consider going full time on tiktok live and live streaming the park daily updating everyone on each new piece of merch and food that becomes avalible!

Why would you be nervous? If it doesn’t open you’d be entitled to compensation in the form of a free fast track and the right to complain on Twitter

Could they do something to the lift hill speed based on weight? Would that have an impact?

Happy to translate Parms nonsense for everyone: This seems like a stream-of-consciousness or playful, abstract writing that’s blending humor, frustration, and a hint of chaos. Let me break it down: 1. **"Really funny chair, really funny chair, wobble wrang, bobble brang, really funny gantry, really funny lights wheeeeeeeeeee"** - This part seems to be describing something amusing or whimsical, possibly a ride or piece of machinery, that’s not functioning in a typical or smooth manner (like something wobbling, bobbling, or spinning). 2. **"But we're spending all of it on a one that doesn't bit."** - Here, it sounds like there's frustration or a sense of waste, spending energy, money, or resources on something that doesn’t "work" (it "doesn't bit" could be an intentional play on "doesn't fit" or "doesn't work"). 3. **"Oh OH there is trouble, oh they don't like it anymore, rains won't stop but cold weathers will"** - This could suggest that the situation has gotten worse, people are unhappy, and external circumstances (like bad weather) are adding to the problems. The rains won't stop, but maybe the cold will bring an end to the trouble or chaos. 4. **"My precious the jewel is mine, all mine"** - A reference to Gollum from *The Lord of the Rings*, possibly emphasizing obsession or desire for something, perhaps a metaphor for the ride or situation in question. 5. **"They'll get you in there, they'll get you alright!"** - This might be referring to people or forces that will eventually get the situation under control or cause some form of resolution, possibly with a hint of menace. 6. **"TLDR: The ride is ****** because the ride is not working. A bit, but the e-scooter is too expensive for the rules to say you can't ride it."** - The TL;DR seems to be a summary that the main issue is that the ride isn't working properly, and there’s frustration about the costs (e-scooter being expensive but still being usable within certain rules). 7. **"And soon they will all know, even the salad servers, the wrecking ball is coming, not for the whole thing, but trouble is a foot."** - This suggests impending trouble or chaos, something big is coming (a "wrecking ball"), but not necessarily to destroy everything. The "salad servers" could be a metaphor for people involved in the situation, hinting that everyone will soon realize what’s going on. Overall, it seems like a colorful and exaggerated commentary about a malfunctioning ride or system, with elements of frustration, confusion, and impending resolution or conflict. The metaphorical and whimsical language makes it playful but also hints at deeper concerns or frustrations with the situation. Hopefully that helps everyone with his gobble gibberish goop.

Has anyone considered a knockdown of X and ghost train and then using that bigger space to build a new rollercoaster? That would be cool. Also I find it really lazy that the park can’t be bothered to take down the fright night signs…. When’s dead beat opening?

Guess it depends on if MMM are available to do something costing 250k and then compromise and cut the budget.

Find it fascinating how the GP are going oh it’s just ripsaw and the enthusiasts are trying to fight back saying it’s a newer model!

Did the preview for the ride not get a night time go? If so why not? Also looks like the ride has a bit of a 💩problem.

As predicted the new attraction for 2025 is landscaping which should have gone live a hyperias mid season lunch. Is there any point of going to the park this year?

A new rollercoaster is great news, perhaps this is a bad take but is this not just Merlin copying Universals homework with what essentially seems to be Mario world themed to Minecraft. I’m going to be able to buy an interactive wristband, where have I seen that before.

This is really cool lots of core memories unlocked like the boat ride over by inferno.

lol this year the park was heaving for blue light. They were allowing three groups full of RAP through for trailers for every one group of main queue…… Even private events arnt a place without everyone using these passes.

I personally don’t mind its design and feel. Reminds me a lot of the Barbican and those are some sought after houses. The thing is with Thorpe having a hotel is tricky especially in the off season, with Heathrow so nearby and lots of places avalible for conferences etc it was always seen as a major risk to build a permanent hotel structure. If this does go ahead I wonder if a midway attraction will be built in one of the car park areas or the old farm to make it feel more resorty.
