Looks great, two smart really well themed kids rides, I reiterate KIDS RIDES, please don't complain if you the enthusiast aren't allowed on a ride intended for children under the age of 6.

Ah, stop being moody and go ride it for yourself, the change is good. Went on it twice today, the vampire looks cool and with the new lighting gets rid of the scary /tense atmosphere from riding many years ago as a child Although the ride felt a lot slower today.

This was open today, look cool though is currently missing the middle theming element.

Using this thread as can't find one for Legoland Florida, and can't be bothered to make a new one, please move if there is one. Legoland Florida are pulling an interesting marketing stunt to launch their new pirate hotel. Nik Wallenda, who just tight roped across a volcano, however became instantly hated by many for wearing a safety harness, hence eliminating the risk of death on live TV will be walking the plank at the new hotel. Doesn't really seem like that target market here as most people wh tune in to watch him are only watching to see if he essentially falls. And will he be wearing a harness? https://mickeyxtreme.net/blog/nik-wallenda-set-to-walk-the-plank-for-opening-of-pirate-island-hotel-at-legoland-florida-resort

RAP will make up for that.

People are forgetting they had a whole event including a scare maze for its 21st a few years ago.

I just feel sorry for those who genuinely need it and have a crap day as a result, of waiting around to get on rides. Personally I'd have a doctor on park to give the yes/ no. But that would just give me invisibility abuse.

The one thing I do love about Jack's videos is how he always has to cut back to a previous video with a quote of him speculating something to assert that dominance over the enthusiast community when it is correct. Another good video though and a great way to get more exposure out there as to what the park is doing this year rather than traditional click bait articles, its almost a shame in a way that Thorpe or even MAP doesn't have an experienced community manager to act as a face to the ever growing community. Rather then what seems to generic tweets which can get lost in translation. Another not, this partnership has nothing to do with Netflix other than being able to watch on that platform, rather the Uk production company are involved. If Netflix were involved we've have a stranger things attraction.

Think the idea here is to add more of a thrill and an idea of suspense to the rides, for example sending Colossus around for a second go every 6th ride say, or a more intense Samurai cycle, well before it breaks anyway. Good idea but perhaps an operation nightmare.

You should watch it, the PM f**ked a big, and then the story broke 4 years later about the PM really getting down with a pig, back in the uni days.

You may say this but IP's do drive traffic towards the park, the standard of execution of the IP however may not be up to par.

I don't believe this to be Netflix directly rather the UK production company overseeing the product.

Could it not be argued that this a good movie for the park, becoming more of a TV / Shows themed attractions park.

Dubai is a lease operated by Merlin = Making money. Japan is improving folds year on year, just had a slow start, with the Olympics this year, I'm sure it will continue to improve. Meanwhile Thorpe still makes profit for Merlin, but just isn't the priority as of now, maybe the new owners will see a different incentive that lies within Thorpe. It will all just take time.

Perhaps it's just currently not profitable for Merlin to invest in Thorpe, in comparison to the new markets of Legoland resorts in Asia.

Alton Towers finally starting to stand up to the resort status. I also love how people will say OctoberFest will fail, as people need to drive to AT. With over 500, ballpark figure don't quote me, rooms people who stay over may want something to do in the evenings. With late night riding this is an excellent way to extend the attendance in the generally quiet month of September. In my opinion a cheaper to run scare fest, whilst extending the popularity of the Halloween event period, just with the offering of beer and lederhosen rather than scares. This is a clear moneymaker, so go to AT and have a few bevvy's this September.

Excellent to see that Towers have leaked the next 3 Secret weapons.

@MattyMoo will have a lot to say about this.

Then make sure you head down to the park for opening day!

Personally I don't think pestering Thorpe park with private messages is the best way to try and get them to reveal their secretes.

I thought storm Dennis wasn't allowed into Europe post brexit.

I have strong confidence in my sources. As said already the project has already been discussed over here. https://coasterforce.com/forums/threads/thorpe-park-what-could-the-future-hold.42699/page-9
