  1. We may be waiting a while for the review then....
  2. Hopefully Thorpe will buy the bell ride.
  3. And what would £15 get you at Tulley's a bit of street entertainment. At the end of the day you would be complaining that the park was too busy in your review if they sold entry at £15. Answer will be on the MAP group one day in. Then there will be no stock left.
  4. Makes sense that is what oversells the park. £15 is way too cheap for FN entry.
  5. As the sun was setting after a fun day in London, I headed to the Vaults of Waterloo, a place which I have visited before generally for music, however today it would take a more menacing turn of events, the IT experience promoting IT Chapter 2, in cinemas on Friday. When joining the queue down a back alley the suspense was created, with two security guards to greet and a standby line for the peasants who were unable to get free tickets through the eventbrite booking engine, the music however set the scene with a menacing tone. The entrance. 9.30 quickly approached and we entered. Upon signing a waiver which I didn't read, but I guess I was signing my life away and then was given a wristband and lead into an interactive carnival scene. There were tw games hook a duck and pop a balloon. I played hook a duck and was rubbish at it, collecting a measly one duck, however this still gained me entry. The baloon game looked fun however we were ushered on before getting a chance to play. After an actor spiel we were made to walk through the clowns head, into the trommel tunnel and this had some force to it, making me loose my footing few times. The next room contained some UV clown punch bags to play tricks with the mind. We were then greeted with the house from the movie and some characters arguing about not wanting to go inside. After a photo opportunity with the Loser gangs bikes we went through. Thememing wise it was stunning, however some members of the forum would not be impressed as the roof was not themed therefore ruining the 360 immersion effect. From this point on wards no cameras were permitted. We came to three doors, Not scary, Scary and Very Scary. The actor then split us up, I was given the Scary door which was filled with balloons that I had to run through and pop, as the lights went out an actor jumped out to scare me. The other rooms contained a mirror maze and Jack in the box however I didn't get to experience them. Next we were in a Chinese restaurant, not sure what the relevancy was here but I assume its in the new movie. I was thinking great an eating challenge as a lazy Susan and baskets were placed in front of us however all we got was a fortune cookie, my fortune being losers stick together. Inside the basket was an oversized cassette player and headphones, to be worn for the tour of the sewers, as the tones of new kids on the block blared down my ears we met our tour guide and torches were distributed into groups. In the sewers we were taken down many tunnels to a room which reminded me a lot of the middle show of DBGT. In our group the torches started to malfunction, then the boy in the yellow raincoat appeared, and then lights flickered and Pennywise himself appeared, went dark, he appeared closer to the group, that type of ending which we have all experience before, despite tension being high, I found the ending to be quite weak. However one surprise was went placing the cassettes back an actor was in the lockers for one final jump scare. The overall attraction lasted 15mins, short but sweet. I'd rate the attraction a solid 7/10 and I think the likes of TP could learn a lot from it. Overall it was fun, and had some good photo-ops despite being not too scary. I would highly recommend although the attraction closes on Wednesday. A great marketing campaign as I will not go and see the film when it comes out Friday.
  6. Are the parks no longer allowed to trial new additions then..... in the case of negative feedback?
  7. The curse was not naff. t's better than 80% of TP lineup this year.

    Legoland

    I never understand how the Sun get away with this. Merlin could just pull there min yearly promotion as the result of bad press.
  9. Remember also as a family run park they will be able to make a decision of the next steps there and then, rather than a cooperation like Merlin where it may take a while to get approval /sign off.
  10. Must of been budget cuts.
  11. Europe is partiality funding the park as well as lots of other successful business probably as a brand awareness type project. Just a shame so many people voted out and will make it harder to get to these parks and the chance of a Europe funded Thorpe RMC!
  12. Is that not what they did with the ghost train?

    Legoland

    I wouldn't get your hopes up for Thorpe. It's not in the Merlin planned pipeline for investment.

    2019 Season

    I would say calling it shocking is a tad dramatic.
  16. Cool Story! Be prepared to buy lots of fast tracks. First couple of weeks on the Thursday is where it's at, low crowds.
  17. https://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/news/stoke-on-trent-news/nemesis-alton-towers-25-years-3199479?fbclid=IwAR2CdY_FC_YOtxIPLzTCr2q3pcmt3Vm-i2Ki5XQYpjMTFrEFFKlnj5uXALE Alton are celebrating roller coaster week in style. Expect John Wardley to be mobbed by enthusiasts, disappointed MAP holders who didn't get a pin badge so resort to crying children and offers on entry.

    Accesso wouldn't have the capabilities for that level of technology.
  19. Multiple Waitrose. Even an M&S if that floats your boat.
  20. https://www.merlinannualpass.co.uk/membership £12 a month sign up now....
  21. https://blooloop.com/news/universal-patent-interactive-tower-rotating-lift-stacked-rooms-ride/ This looks crazy. I will probably be to tall for it but oh well maybe I can just pretend to be immersed?
  22. Enthusiasts who think there better than the GP because they visit the parks more than once a year.......
