Fin's menu is terrible now. Just a few burgers and some sides. What happened to the themed menu they used to have?

https://towersstreet.com/talk/threads/thorpe-park-general-discussion.8/page-324#post-258574 Credit to ThisGuy on Towers Street, the tent / coverings over the Wilderness bar (formerly Sticky Sisters) has been taken down. Unknwown if it is permanent or just for cleaning perhaps?

Woohoo! Finally, they are shutting down the most obnoxious passholders club. ? ?

Wow, Disneyland is just on another level to everyone else in Europe, even compared to Europa Park and Efteling.

I think this is exactly the same as Logger's being listed as "Under Development" for the next 3 years. (It's going to be abandoned)

- Replace Angry Birds Land with Goat Simulator Land. - End every marketing phrase with "Like no other." - Half paint another rollercoaster. - Save money and make no investments in new attractions for 2020. Whatever you do, don't build a Mack Mega launch coaster to rival the likes of Icon or a Mack Xtreme Spinning coaster like Time Traveller but the first in the UK. ??? Also, close another attraction permanently but don't replace it.

I'll be going. Always want to know more about Thorpe's history, sounds like it will be a good event.

I like the 40th merch. I'd rather have that than junk *ahem "genuine ride parts". If you don't like it, you don't have to buy it. All other merch is still available. In fact I'd rather see them update merch periodically so you see new stuff you might like throughout the year and the smaller batches make items more unique / collectable.

The annual Knutsford may day fair is now open until the 6th May. It has over 100 attractions. Probably the best new ride I've seen is this Megaspin. It's like a cross between a Sky Swat and a Disk'o.

Mainly Europa Park Memes & more:

A new bus service to Towers is comming soon for those who don't drive: https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/burton/bus-service-to-alton-towers-2787552.amp

Is anyone going on traveller day tomorrow? It may not be official but do you think the reason they're going cashless is to deter these people from visiting?

Universal have announced their first new haunted house for this years HHN.

Walibi are going wild with new projects!

As much as I don't like the sheds, the advert is actually pretty good. Way better than what Thorpe have managed this year.

Opening a new park and a rebuild of a whole area is a ”quiet" year. ?

The corridors have always seemed to be a h&s problem. Nice to see pole head in the roof at the exit. ?

The parks have multiple power suppliers, I guess to spread the load on the grid. The whole park isn't affected during a power cut. Making theme parks off the grid is not a viable idea and is of little benefit.

We really enjoyed going on Valhalla quite a few times this weekend. Such an epic water ride. Waterproof trouser covers and boots make it so much more enjoyable during the day with hardly any queues.

In regards to the 2019 TV ad, IMAScore made Thorpe a brilliant, brand recognisable theme tune in my opinion that is fully owned by them unlike Alton Towers and they don't even use it in the advert. wtf are they doing? ?‍♂️

Shame the zombie in the roof at the end only has a pole for a head now.

What's changed? Have they finally been told to stop being rude and sarcastic to guests?

I'm seeing more evidence to suggest Saw Alive won't be returning this year.

Loved clearing the tables in pizza pasta (looking at a table wiper ignoring us like: #notmyjob) and not having any Coke Zero and the watered down BBQ pizza. Fully worth the price increase.
