It seems that during one night in the last week the Park audio systems were left on, all night, only to be turned off by staff arriving at 7a.m.. Completes from neighbouring areas such as Chertsey have received an apology from the Park.
This has happened more than once in the past few weeks.

In essence, contrary to many people’s knowledge or understanding, the playout of music in theme park and attractions is subject to significant licensing and cost implication. There isn’t just a free for all where you can play whatever you want wherever you want, even though this is an often overlooked misconception by even the largest corporations.
Everything down to the number of speakers, the square footage of an area, the number of visitors in a set period and the piece or pieces of music dictates how much a business is required to pay on an annual basis, on specific tariffs.
And let’s just say if the park or parent company hadn’t been quite so clever about who composed their music or the agreements surrounding these, they leave themselves open to enormous fees, fines and/or ongoing costs.

The old music played all of last season as well but oddly had half the area wrongly programmed to blast out Angry Birds in the first part of this season, though the queue has always played it this year so far.
It has however recently just reverted on the exit path to the Imascore jungle mix.
But yes it's a far better track anyway. Just a shame the same hadn't happened to the Colossus queue too.
The park have no idea what they are doing. The original music for NI & Colossus were replaced for a very valid and important reason, their return is an inconsistent mess.

Such a shame to hear of the system in such disrepair and in such a dire state.
Even more so when there is a (admittedly very small) team dedicated to maintaining this infrastructure.
What has always been ridiculous about the way TP is managed, is that whoever fancies making a decision about what plays where has the ability to do just that. It’s not governed by the park, by marketing or by Merlin. So whoever it was who asked for Carly Rae Jepsen, slip a little card in the suggestion box and you’ll probably find it happens tomorrow.
As for Inferno’s canons, the infrastructure is entirely capable of their continued use. It’s just lack of maintenance that stops them from doing what Bose had installed them to do in Infernos heyday.

I mean I wouldn't start jumping the gun just yet. You haven't seen them yet? For all we know do or die will have black walls again, does that mean it's set and design is amazing? Surely anyone can do that.
Would the maze have been worse if the photos were taken with a camera that could produce more pixels?
Yea but he still HAS the 3G, so that’s big news.

If you need wood, ain’t no place better than Big Top.

I am going off subject is there anything different in Derren Brown I went on it in its original incarnation in 2016 when it was just called Darren Brown I have not experienced it's rise of the demon storyline yet is there anything different 2017 present. I was going for it after lunch last year at 1:00 pm but I was having no chance of getting on it last year during 2018 fright nights after my lunch I checked the app of the queue waiting time and it said 15 minutes I got to gate and the operator said if your at the back of its 60 minutes. I am in plans go on flats then go straight for it once it opens what time does it open exactly because the app says it opens at 10:00 am but I know that it's wrong and I have forgotten the time it did say it on the app weeks ago will this work what I am planning don't do the coasters just yet and do the flats in lost city then do Darren brown.
Yea it’s called Derren Brown now.

Does anyone know the reason Big Top was scrapped? It seemed to be really well received... Fright Nights is a poor event these days it used to be something to get excited about but now it’s just lacking anything that exciting... kind of sums up the state of Thorpe Park... it was once arguably the best park in the UK and now it’s just rubbish “investment” after rubbish “investment” The last few years have been so disappointing I miss the days when flat rides opened in between the years of coasters being added and then we got a rollercoaster to be excited about... those were the days
Documentary coming soon.
Its gone because those responsible for its conception and build are gone. Unfortunately there are many reasons for arguably the best park in the UK to be in the state it is now, and a lot of it is down to retention of talent and management of events such as Fright Nights.

I think Big Top will be announced along with the new RMC single rail hyper that is replacing Loggers next year.
Hey at least the latter is likely

Don't believe what other people are saying.
From what I have heard big top is returning where Bouncezilla is and WD will be where sanctum was two years ago. And even better news for yourself, Platform 15 has been extended this year. There will be an interval in the tunnel where they are using some of the old Experiment 10 shipping containers and you will travel inside them.
I have confirmed this with your favourite person JACK SILKSTONE VIP and he is putting a video out tonight which will confirm this!
Erm, no.

It seems Swarm Island's audio has finally come back to life recently, the original soundtrack can just about be heard from a few areas after months of silence, it's a shame it's so quiet though. The Bose system in that area really used to rock and the audio brought the area to life. Perhaps an amp died during last season or over closed season? Don't remember this area ever being so quiet.
Sometimes amps - sometimes local residents - sometimes a combination!

Those of you who want to hear the old Colossus music, head to the Colossus shop.
Aha yes there’s an audio player behind an ice cream rack which I’m sure nobody knows how to access anymore so the IMAScore reload was never moved in there!

Well it’s not hard to realise this spells Big Top, which isn’t coming back.

I am not taking any argument or anything with anyone I think once we know we will know as I said even when platform 15 does not return in future years I won't put it in the forum over and over but I will accept it's not returning plus earlier this year I was already believing nashervlogs on.YouTube that loggers was not coming back and I was already believing what he said in his video way before thorpe park put their announcement through there social media platforms that it was not returning plus I remembered earlier in the year we got that hoax tweet on twitter when it was on for a few seconds I was not believing that as I knew loggers time is up.
Don’t worry buddy, Platform has a good few years of life left in it, we made sure of that. It also basically exists year round so quite easy to open up.
Big Top - they cannae build it. They wannae, but they cannae. IMAScore are livid. It’s the best composition they ever made.

WWWTPRadio I am having high hopes for big top and I am going with big top dan as he keeps saying it as for me I would not have high hopes for the next time for platform 15. Even for me if big top did return I will bee going mad with the music bobbing along to the music to the ima score in the strobe maze section I have the song on my phone even that I only experienced showtime I am also happy do or die is back I found that very very scary last year and I will do it again after my night ride.
Oh right, ok.
