    Inferno have had these announcements for a couple of months now, and are to ensure that the hosts are clear, as well as providing audible confirmation for the guests to hear that all safety protocols, steps and procedures have and are being followed correctly.

    The Bose Acoustic Wave Cannons are not on and have not been on for a good number of years. 

     

    Incorrect. They are on, and in use, and have been for many years now. You may do well to check your sources before posting in future. as you presented your statement as fact when, well, it isn't.

    I thought soft opening was opening a ride to everyone but without official advertising/before the official opening day?

     

    I'm not a miserable person and as previously mentioned there's no call for personal insults because someone had a different opinion to you.

    How. Many. Times.

     

    Thorpe decide when to open the ride. 

    Thorpe decide who goes on the ride. 

    Thorpe decide when the ride is acceptable to open. 

    Thorpe decide what advertising they put out there in relation to ride opening days. 

     

    @Coaster Jamie - understand this. You cannot enter the park and have an expectation that you deserve to ride this attraction, at any given time (prior to full guest opening). It isn't open. It isn't advertised as open. As such, it isn't a publicly available attraction

     

    Thorpe do NOT need to explain why they have allowed certain people on the ride. They don't need to explain why they chose said people. They don't have to explain ANYTHING to you, or others. 

     

    Its their park. Their ride. Their investment. 

     

    You will ride it, as and when it opens. Accept it, and move on. As someone said above, if you were chosen on park to ride in advance of opening, you wouldn't turn down the chance, so please, stop moaning. It's boring.

    Of course nobody has the right to enter the property like they do a public park, but what you're saying 'hey you should be honoured to pay £50 to enter and think yourself lucky there's any rides open at all" which a really ****ty attitude to have towards your customers, it would be like opening a nightclub and charging £20 a head to enter then when people complain there is no music simply shrung your shoulders and saying "DJ broke the decks, tough titties you paid to enter the building, I'm not obliged to provide you music, you should just be honoured I let you in".

    Ghost Train isn't open. 

    Ghost Train isn't advertised as open. 

    Ghost Train hasn't been publicly scheduled to open. 

     

    You have no argument.

    They have been past, Flying Fish and a couple of others open when friends stayed there.

     

     

     

    Its a privilege when you're invited by management to enter for free as their guest, it's not a privilege when you have to pay £50 to enter, then it becomes a right, you know, that pesky old "exchange of money for goods or services" principle our economy is based on.

    Incorrect. It's still a privilege. At no point is it a right to be within their property. They can eject you at any time they desire. Feel free to be pedantic, but it is not a right to be able to enter Thorpe Park, and anyone that thinks it is, is deluded with a warped sense of entitlement.

    I understand they did this during park hours which frankly I find appalling.  What a huge kick in the teeth for everyone on park today to see people being let in when they've spent all that money.

     

    Thankfully I wasn't there, I've lost interest in this attraction but yet again they've completely mismanaged something which will cause annoyance and upset amongst the majority of paying customers!

    How is it appalling?

     

    This ride belongs to Thorpe Park.

    This ride is operated by Thorpe Park.

    This ride is not open.

    Thorpe Park invited THEIR selected guests to ride it as a Dress Rehearsal.

    Thorpe Park decided to invite people of their choice onto their investment (the ride) within their park, ran by their staff.

     

    How is this appalling?

     

    Where does your sense of entitlement stem from? You are owed nothing by Thorpe Park or Merlin. It is not advertised as open, so why are you annoyed? Also, no ticket or Annual Pass actually has the clause that you are entitled to ride Ghost Train, so in any case, you have no expectation to ride, at any time. Remember, it's a privilege to enter the park, not a right.
