It's good but it lacks a Nemesis Inferno.

Fright Nights 2019 - General Discussion
Not really a fan of this. I think the small cubes to sell would be fine, however selling bottles of the stuff, who's to say these specifically made scents don't end up at other attractions. Seems like a quick cash grab.

Overlooking London, this will hit Merlin hard too.

£8 for a beer at the o2 is extortionate but I still pay it. Just find it strange that this is a Thorpe park fan forum but all everyone seems to do nowadays is moan.

However you also had a 20% MAP discount....... £9.60 fair for a themepark in line with stadium /event pricing. Next thing you know people will be demanding a Tesco on park for their £3 meal deals.

Whose Meme is it Anyway?
For those unaware of the reference: Wikipedia: Chiapas is a southern Mexican state bordering Guatemala. Its mountainous highlands and dense rainforest are dotted with Mayan archaeological sites and Spanish colonial towns.

But thats not the agenda of the average money saving map holder is it? What are you having for lunch? Hot dogs in flasks.

The Daily star really brought some sex appeal to the ride.

The Blue Barnacle (Previously Black Buccaneer)
Will we change the name of the thread though? Personally I think it should be renamed Nemesis Inferno after one of the UK's best roller-coasters.

Flamingo Land
I add Brexit to this race, as that itself could be seen as a rollercoaster.

Imagine getting to the park at 2am to know that you will be riding at some point during the day. 17 hours later he go on the ride,, clearly getting there at 2am has no benefit and just makes you a tired fool.

Merlin Parks aren't just able to invest money at will, without a business case, which is what they did in the early 2000's era. Currently Merlin's interests are in Asia as that's where the emerging markets are. If the British consumer, spent more money in the parks, and stopped complaining about the excellent value of the MAP looking for the cheapest options to the point of Merlin practically giving tickets away, share the fun, trade, promos etc, then perhaps they would invest more into the UK markets but currently Lego is the asset with the greatest return, hence why it will be getting a new land next year. On the second to Disney comment, it's the truth however you have to look at the business as a whole for example the Midway clusters and Legoland parks generating millions in weekly revenue.

Keeps up to the 3 year old concept art seen above but we have a trailer. Seems as if the band / app will play a central role within the park. I see it as an upgrade to those interactive quest experiences you can do at Disney. Assuming the app will have upsells, merch etc this park will just be printing money.
