Having now done all the UK dungeon attractions aswell as Amsterdam and being somebody who is actually quite a big fan of the dungeons, I can quite categorically say that this is easily the worst of the dungeons by a mile. First off I will start with the positives and say the acting quality was strong as was the final scene with the haunting. HOWEVER and without given much away,I find the amount of black walls and blank corridors between the scenes to be absolutely horrendous. Half the joy of the other dungeons in the UK (which gentle reminder, premium pass holders get FOR FREE!!) is the level of detail and immersion that guests get. This dungeon however I can honestly say that when it comes to detail, it makes Charlie and the chocolate factory look like Pirates of the carribean and I am not even close to joking. In terms of the whole “it’s not finished” malarkey I have heard, well if it’s not finished then don’t have the cheek to open it unfinished and then have the nerve to charge extra for what frankly is a very half heartedly executed experience. Again I reiterate that there ARE positives with the acting ability on display as well as the finale. However that does not save an otherwise lacklustre and needless addition to Alton Towers. Honestly I know I could say “it’s better than nothing”, but in this instance I genuinely think I would prefer literally nothing.

Good riddance to bad rubbish. Now if Thorpe Park can do away with their VR disaster that would be great. All the VR did to galactica in my opinion was turn it into a glorified motion simulator and slowed operations right down!! No major loss at all!!

Bigger scale Dungeons that premium passholders get FOR FREE I might add!!

To be fair, when I was at Universal in 2017 the first thing that popped into my mind was “wow I like Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey and Amazing Adventures of Spiderman but I really am missing DBGT and I’m a Celeb right now!!”

Good to see it was that overwhelmed with Likes and positive comments that they disabled the like bar and comments section. So proud they are doing well in the eyes of the consumer

New for 2020 The Thorpe Park Dungeon!! - “A Dungeon like no other!” a 20 minute journey through 500 years of Surrey’s dark history!! * a separate £10 ticket is required for this attraction

Well it’s better than nothing I guess!!

Nothing screams “best themed accommodation” more than the gorgeous Thorpe Shark Hotel. Love me some shipping containers!!

Your favourite park opening it’s very own version of your all time favourite dark ride!!?? Christmas really has came early for you hey!!?? Liseberg really deserve all the credit in the world for their investments over the last few years!! Nearly all have been money well spent which is more than I can say for a certain abomination in a warehouse that relies on VR....

Just a little joke on my part!! ? I would rather marathon Saw than endure that!!

About time Europe started getting more RMC’s to go along with Wildfire!! Now if the UK could hurry up and give us one, that would very much be appreciated!! Untamed looks like it’s going to be a very strong contender for the best coaster in Europe when it’s open (It’s RMC so I’d expect nothing less than a solid coaster) and will also make Walibi Holland a real must do park given the park also consists of Goliath, Lost Gravity and El Condor.... ok only two of those are great!!... jury is still out on Lost Gravity. Can’t wait to get to this park at some time in 2019.

I think I said that too loudly..... well suppose it’s better than nothing anyway!!

Looking at my own schedule for next year, the only two trips on this that I can categorically say I WILL NOT be able to attend is the Blackpool meet and the fright night meet as I’m in Amsterdam for that weekend (again) The rest are quite up in the air aside from Phantasialand

Pepsi max Dr Pepper or Mr Pibb?

Taron by the skin of its teeth!! Blur or oasis?

-in relation to the dates for the Phantasialand trip- Its better than nothing!!

You forgot “brave it backwards”, the green screen merlin photo op and “WORLDS FIRST!!”!! ?

The next Thorpe Park coaster?? What I hope for - an RMC with an original theme. What I expect - a Pinfari wacky worm themed to Insidious!!
