Well it took 40 minutes for security to show up. It isn't possible to tell from the article how long it was before it was noticed the car was stolen. The keys for the car would have indicated the make and you could have just walked up and down rows until the keys opened a car. I have seen the aftermath of someone's handbag stolen from the Saw baggage room before so I can believe a bag being stolen from there again. It's not an impossible chain of events but it does seem an unlikely one. £271m was the profit before tax in 2017 while the article quotes the operating profit before tax. The company made £209m profit after tax in 2017 giving a better estimate of £1.7m per site. It's actually pretty reasonable considering revenue was £1.6bn so it's profit margin is greater than most other entertainment based businesses. Although the same is unlikely to be true for the slowdown in 2018.

There is an investment currently progressing forward for 2020 but as far as I am aware there is no coaster involved.

The fundamental issue with Thorpe park is that it doesn't get the basics right. It is completely irrelevant if you have a great "brand" attached to a ride if the ride itself isn't fun. Thorpe Park sell fun, end of. No fun, no customers, no money. It is a simple problem that Merlin time and time again blame on external factors. Merlin's board is obsessed with branding and marketing. Varney is very cautious and branding obsessed. It has resulted in "safe" investments for years with stupid sellable gimmicks and typically an IP attached. The park will continue to make the same mistakes while he is incharge and he needs to go. The next coaster will likely be amateur layout at best trying to be the scariest ride ever (useless interpretation of survey results to blame for that one) and likely will have an IP attached. My only hope is that this years poor performance has been a wake up call and they change the boring formula but I seriously doubt that is going to happen.

The forum is being really buggy with multiple posts and the scores are completely wrong presumably as posts are taking forever to come through. Its making it unplayable. I blame Russian meddling.

The episode would have been brilliant if it was revealed that it was the cybermen taking the staff and then you saw the conversion of the woman in the bunker thing. Then if it revealed a load of empty/dormant cybermen instead of the robots holding boxes and the episode could have ended on a cliff hanger. It was an episode with a lot of potential and way better than all of moffats but it still fell flat.

Merlin definitely want the park to be more like a resort hence a new entrance planning to be constructed.
