I was hoping that with the theme being a literal cinema, the park had a plan to change the 4D film regularly. It'd be a simple win to change the film shown yearly (albeit maybe a bit of a faff).

Who knows what the contracts are like for these things. I know Merlin in the past liked to go for 3 year rolling contracts with IPs. Whether that's still the case - and the case with a 4D show - I have no clue.

I agree that it would be nice to see something new in there for 2026 though.

Does anyone feel like Ready Player One has overstayed its welcome at the cinema?

Some would say it's the past of theme parks.

Closed season bingo!

Not at all.

The park changed strategy, and realised that they could communicate with more people through social media (which, 10 years ago, was a growing sector for brands to utilise). And then the way people consume online content changed, focused more on videos via social media rather than text/forums/websites.

Thorpe Park Mania was once the official fan site for Thorpe Park.

One of the many perks of this was that Thorpe Park ran that account on the forum, using it to answer fan questions, add context to decisions and also just have a bit of fun with fans.

It was similar to the Annual Passholder group they ran a couple of years ago to be fair.

so uh been a few weeks (in fact a month) and no soundtrack
