something major to come
some options are being considered, many are possible, one is cheaper. phobia is the traditional spelling, but in this case, the thrills may exceed the normal levels of fear

What most urgently needs to be done at Thorpe Park after Project Exodus, in your view?
I thuppit! a ride in times gone by When hope was high and plans worth making I thuppit! the crowds would come and cry When track and thrills were there for taking Then budgets cut, they came at night With voices soft as paper shredding As they tore the blueprints from my sight And left my coaster dream unthreading They killed the plans, they cut the funds They turned the launch to magnet spaces They stole the loop, the airtime runs And left us with… more burger places Still I thuppit! the ride would rise again That steel and speed would soon deliver But there are storms we can’t contain Thorpe’s lost its dream forever I thuppit! a ride that now is gone A phantom coaster in the distance So here I stand, still holding on To scraps of hope and sheer persistence

merlin was lost, in the slipstream of their times. expansion was aggressive, and asset stripping was coherent. the times and the places that they went were more than wonderful, in a sort of panache, noir style of way. but the tides and the times and the tiles have caught up, and now things will need to change. the times were great, but the tides are coming in and the ramp to get off is full. we will soon see a shift, as the ship warbles, and the cakes will be served in the cups of those who towed the party line against that which was right. roller coasters will be ran, but what more, parp parp parp parp, parp parp parp parp ppaarrpp pppaaarrrppp.

stealth being closed, it's no longer the star, this closure is dragging, the king is no more what will happen, the clues are near, in staffordshire, corners no more money is short, but launches are fast, and if ben and jerrys will be sold, then we need to fix the old 3... 2... 1... oh, oh, no!
