Got a mate at the park on a 50 hour contract who suddenly had it cut down to 0 hour so he doesn’t have to be paid now. Fun.

I’m gonna be pretty sad if the music changes. I actually really liked it. Brings back a lot of good memories.

Don’t know whether this has been posted elsewhere, as I haven’t been on the forum for months, but heard from a friend of mine that while Legoland is staying open for the time being, no face painting, temporary tattoos or hair wraps will be available.

The Legoland Express train held up quite a lot of visitors yesterday as it stopped just metres from the station, meaning the automatic barriers (which it had cleared) were still down. People trying to get to other parts of the park were held up and advised to go under the bridge and around Lego city, which is quite a detour.
The train, after much visible confusion from the staff, had to reverse back into the station, which I’ve never seen happen before! I left that part of the park shortly after, but it could have been something to do with the part of the tracks which intersect the laser raiders queue. I’m not sure. Either way, an interesting thing to have witnessed!

Personally, being at Thorpe with no friends was one of the worst experiences of my life. It was a school trip last year to reward all the good kids at school (no idea how I got in) and as the only year eleven on the coach, I realised there was literally no one to go on the rides with. I ended up going on about three rides, then sat in the dome for a while until the time came to go home. Never again. I felt humiliated in front of the younger, cooler students and the pitiful teachers. I like having someone to talk to in the queues.
That said, even though I felt it’s not for me, it doesn’t mean you won’t enjoy going alone! There’s a boy at my college now who goes afterwards near enough every day, and he seems to love it! Bring a book or some music for the queues and you should be set!

I heard that staff found a massive crack in the supports/structure and that’s why it can’t open.

Apparently even Varney hated this attraction when he tested it, which kinda says a lot.

I haven’t actually seen one in real life; are the doors clear? Do they overlook a piece of countryside on a hill where the sky is large at night? Or were the marketing execs at Alton even mode high than when they decided adding a dungeon to the park was a good idea?

I’m surprised they’re not even adding it on as an option - I really enjoyed it to be honest. It wasn’t needed, it didn’t help the queue times, but I still liked it. Unfortunate.

The fact that ANYONE thought those memes were adequate enough to post,,
How the hell do they have an entire workforce of teenagers, yet not know how stan twitter and memes work? yikes.
Hire me for your social media team please, Thorpe, I’m BEGGING you.

My opinion, turn the farm into the north pole and reopen Canada creek railway as the polar express. What do you think?

It’s such a damn shame that they’re letting go of Loggers. I mean, we been knew it for years, but it doesn’t make the announcement any less upsetting. I’ll never forget having a tantrum on there on my sixth birthday, or my friend having a tantrum on there on my 12th birthday. What wonderful tantrums they were.
Hopefully, Thorpe do away with the rocky express and whatever those little fairground rides are and develop a new area void of tacky IPs. I doubt it, but we can have hope.

you'd need new supports which would defeat the whole reason it got a minimal support structure
you'd probably need the radius to be wider to fit the train on the inside of the track
I'm pretty certain it couldn't physically happen without tearing down most of the track and changing the launch power etc at which point they might as well start a new coaster from scratch
some of y’all really need to buy a sarcasm detector huh

Perhaps I misheard. Either way, this has left lots of people in a bad way. How much is Merlin worth again?
