Fright Nights 2024
It’s a flat white so no difference in sizes

Fright Nights 2024
Is the maze SEB endorsed or is it just going to use the murder on the dance floor song. Either way odd choice for me personally I think of SEB as a family friendly festival act bringing fun to all! On the upcharges, it’s just to make more money isn’t it. The queues are still long and times lots don’t work. Let’s just go back to the fun years please and perhaps I’ll let you off charging me £3 for the passing…Happily going on bluelight this year so will be free but also hoping for my first ride on hyperia! Still hate the fact that the event has become this family friendly day out. I want freaks roaming the park, not dance parties as you have Legoland and Chessington just around the corner for that….

What have you learned in your years as an enthusiast?
Manufactures hate tall people. I’ve moved on from theme parks and rollercoasters and prefer to view from the side. There’s only so much rejection you can take……

Park Operations
Oktoberfest looks tacky this year. I really don’t understand why they don’t change the format of the event. Get a big tent, get people to dress up, sell beer at £8 a stein and have sessions on Friday / Saturday afternoon / evening with some ERT on say hyperia (night rides) or some other rollercoasters. It seems to sell elsewhere (Richmond , Camden etc) so why not do a real experience and make a load off the drink money….

Amity Beach construction work - major redevelopment or facelift coming?
Could also be used as an upsell vip priority parking. Say £80 a car!

Fright Nights 2024
Excellent to see I got something correct. Prediction for the event is that Jack becomes a scare actor for a video.

Chessington General Discussion
Can we start a petition to bring back the action man assault course….

Fright Nights 2024
This year hs been very good for horror movies that tbh I wish we got some IP stuff….

Hyperia
Ahh how I miss the days of free TPM ERT ( I will forever be thankful) they were some fun meets. Seems like a bit of a crap decision all round. The team at MMM really are doing a great job of making this ride look spectacular sometimes I wonder how they arnt all poaches to work on epic universe.

Alton Towers General Discussion
Have Alton towers updated their booking system? Doesn’t look like Accesso anymore!

Hyperia
Why would they even allow for potential roll backs in the design phase? Wouldn’t they have models to say there is an X% chance that the ride valleys in these conditions, why would they not change the dimensions of the ride until they had something which would give a close to 100% guarantee of always making it around the track… Would love to be a fly on the wall in the talks right now. Oh well gives them the opportunity to not open a new attraction next year and just remarket this one instead.

Work can come later, become a full time enthusiast

Hyperia
At least it means the YouTubers can reopen their construction updates series. Wonder if it’s a part that’s required or an engineering issue comprising safety?!
-
Hyperia
Omg I was on that escalator yesterday too! Did you go down the abba tunnel or were you heading for the northern / Bakerloo line!
-
Hyperia
Looking at the POV we better get a log flume in the future to interact with the swamp. The splashdown looks fun too!

Hyperia Speculation and Construction Thread
TBH if I was there tomorrow I’d probably pay the £20 fast track…. Do we expect the queue to die down seeems like ages since this has been done at Thorpe lol. I remember going for swarm after school on opening day and lapping it as the crowds dies down significantly.
-
Hyperia
Kinda feel sorry for the club XX people, seems like everyone has already been on this coaster despite them being the first lol. Enjoy your rides everyone hope it lives up to expectations. When are the crowds due to die down next, that’s probably when I will go and try it out, guessing though that will be post summer now
-
Hyperia Speculation and Construction Thread
Looks complex but probably for the best. I think one piece of concerning information was left out though…. Overnight queueing / arriving at the park super early do they have a policy or might the team wake up to a surprise number of guests when they arrive that morning??
-
Hyperia Speculation and Construction Thread
One interesting thing is that the lights have been on most nights, all the way up the lift hill!

Hyperia Speculation and Construction Thread
I do wonder if that will perhaps go into Johns Personal development plan for next year….. ‘Fully complete a project themeing landscaping and hardware before opening day’

Hyperia Speculation and Construction Thread
We wanted to produce something very different for Thorpe Park and the response so far has been overwhelmingly positive. The MD on LinkedIn

Hyperia Speculation and Construction Thread
Also we are forgetting it will go story…. Ad for generic family product…. Story … ad for map…. Story…. Ad for the new oasis drink

Legoland
Legoland arrest as woman, 27, is held on suspicion of neglect I just hope it’s not a staff member, they get paid too little to be arrested on the job.

Hyperia Speculation and Construction Thread
The story is required to add to the theme and lore which then sells tatty merch in the shop. How else are they going to sell wings for you to wear if you don’t know the backstory of forging the wings and jumping off a cliff.

Hyperia Speculation and Construction Thread
All well and good to say…. But it’s still the same people at Thorpe and MMM. I see that as more of an excuse, like the viewpoint lake being cut? Is that current or old Merlin?
