Had a sticky beef Po' Boy (essentially like a posh-ish kebab/sub) yesterday on the Island Like No Other, with cajun fries - this was from one of the pop up Mardi Gras food stalls which are not Aramark run. £14.50 in total for both, and it was genuinely decent. Pint of Camden Pale was £6.75 but had to be done because sunshine innit.
Similarly, at Fright Nights I bought food on two occasions from the Ghost Train Smokehouse near the teacups, again, external, and was very good indeed.
So basically, just go when there are pop up traders xoxo
Did you get RAP discount?

Needs to be delivered on a closed day tbh, otherwise how would SLK get their exclusive of the work?

Actors are starting training, I would say it will be a month or so, I putting my cards out there and saying this is the first project which Silkstone and team have been given full creative control on....
Look forward to it.

Remember to support the engineers, perhaps even join the picket line, and visit guest services for some free fasttrack after you have talked politely to an underpaid member of staff who has been shouted at all day by RAP holders.....

Why have they started this event right as the school holidays ends.........
-
My prediction is that the ride will have some sort of theme related to ne of the events either Marti Gras, Carnival or Octoberfest, so that they can sell more merchandise during the event and have a fully themed hub area for whichever event they choose. Ruling Fright nights out for obvious reasons.

Pizza pasta has always been reasonably good in my opinnion. I've never not like the buffet cause you know, the more food the merrier and I've always found that the quality of the food isn't awful (I'd take it over something like KFC every day), but then it's also not great either . The only issue is, even with the MAP discount, it is getting rather expensive nowdays, and I don't really feel like spending £17.50 (£14 with discount) on just lunch, when I could bring my own food in for absolutly nothing. To be honest, that's where I've got to on all theme park food at this point, it's all just starting to become a too expensive for food that reasonable at best. I know that Thorpe can't help having to up their prices due to the state of the economy at the moment, but I feel like they have taken it a step too far.
Also don't get me started on the refill cup now being £9 to reactivate. At £5 it was a perfect, at £7 I was a bit more concerned about the pricing but would bring my cup occasionally, but now at £9 I fell like it's not worth it at all.
I find Aramark being an odd scapegoat for enthusiast this year because they have a contract with UK government services.
Just a lot of moaning when we all know theme park food should be seen as a treat rather than an essential item every weekend you visit.
On the cost for freestyle, I don't see people complaining about the $20 fee for the cups in America, so £9 still seems fine for a treat and an unlimeted one at that.
Especially when at FiveGuys a cup is £3.40 and can't be refilled.
Luckily Merlin allow you to also bring lunch, so nothing stopping you bringing a Greggs or meal deal from Tesco, overall food costs are rising and themepark food should be seen as a treat.
Merlin outsourced food as its really expensive to run and hard to get right, so why not put the contract up to an outside bidder and get guaranteed money to build the secrete weapon.
-
Wouldn't it be funny if Merlin ID'ed the person behind the account a gave them a lifetime ban, now that would be fun. They could just say they don't want their custom or provides a threat to other customers....

Why does John Burton get so much credit / praise for everything. Yes he has creative direction but surely he's spread over so many projects at this point that there's teams of great people doing all the work but not getting any credit?
Is he the next John Wardley, seems like he's trying to fill those boots?
-
Does anyone feel sorry for the construction workers working on the project, must be annoying having voyeurs walking around trying to get the latest updates.......

Blue light day this weekend has been cancelled.

@Hethetheth ok, thanks! I assume they post exclusive updates on stuff then, cause I keep seeing people say ‘new photo from the MAP facebook’ etc.
also is there a link I have to get to join or can I find it by a quick google search?
Its quite exclusive but everything gets leaked anyway so I wouldn't bother.

Big day for those of us who invested in Dobble in the early days!!!

I would expect so, the old finance director didn't see rollercoasters such as Wickerman as a bad investment. Now all the old thinking is gone it seems as if its only a positive way going forward.

The pop-up thing looked weird though.

For crying out loud, just give me the mod keys already, this is more of a SHAMBLES than my last ride on DBGTROTD.
Please direct me to guest services.
I mean, it probably will open in June by the time traditional delays get factored in - shout out to the Smiler.
Need to get to atleast rank 10 first

All for rows facing the other way, but having one is just very odd.
The choice of mandrills for a winged coaster is still taking some getting used to. I get the idea, but I guess I still have the preconception that if a winged coaster has an animal theme, an animal with wings would make sense.
1.2m rides all round is good. The concept art looks good, and is something that feels realistically achievable.
I'm still concerned about the throughput and how this will cope in terms of popularity, especially at first, but we'll have to wait and see on that front.

Actors touching your knees, oh wait there's no VR so that effect wouldn't work.
