Not going to lie, it looks absolutely dreadful.

And there was much rejoicing.

1. The size - It's so compact and easy to navigate, which means it's easy to just turn up, do a few rides and leave when you want. I rarely spend a full day there now, but it's sometimes nice to pop in and do some rides. 2. The coasters - World beating? No. Fun? Yes. Sure it could do with some more of them, but Stealth, Inferno and Swarm are solid. 3. Fright Nights - for the last few years this is the main reason I've gone. It's good fun!

Wasn't loads of Swarm merch on sale in 2019, which made people worry about that getting a retheme which never occurred? Not that I'm complaining, I'd happily let DBGT close, but I'd rather it was replaced or retooled.

I mean if the rumours are coming directly from Gil himself then this will definitely enlarge and thicken my belief.

This fails to make my belief thick. The "I heard from some guy who knows another guy whose dog walker is husband of someone who overheard someone from Merlin say that this was happening" school of rumours isn't exactly overwhelmingly belief thickening.

I agree with the above Bubbleworks in 1990 > Gruffalo > Bubbleworks in 2016. Yes, Gruffalo is an improvement on what immediately preceded in, but that doesn't make up for years of disrepair.

Not sure I would give up enjoying theme parks as a whole because Thorpe is sub par, but oh well. It is a shame to see reviews this poor though.

Also worth remembering that, unlike, say, Disney and Universal, Thorpe and Chessington are catering to a national audience and not an international one. It doesn't matter that a theme is UK centric. I don't have any issue with the current ride names.

I never thought those words would make me happy, but these are strange times!
