15 million? They've gone absolutely insane.

*Gannet mode activates* is the BBQ free? Or has it got a Merlin-sized price tag attached to it?
Why would an event which costs a fiver have a free BBQ...
Come on now.

Merlin took over in 2007.
We knew that Thorpe was rubbish since 07ish

I struggle to see how Stealth is closed more often than not when Sunday was its first full day of downtime of 2014. Storm Surge was behaving fine all year until last week.
Storm Surge was closed all day on my visit in May

As mentioned above - clearance of trains.
Why they didn't replace it? Blame the owners. YOU GERRRRR.

Disney do it also - I follow waltdisneyworld on Snapchat and they're purely awesome!

Speed is lovely.
Go oakwood and ride speed.
Or Rage.

The difficulty is that none of the rides at thorpe have any sort of decent capacity to hold a really good working reserve system (or free fastpass system).
If they had rides doing 2000pph, they could allocate a good 1000pph to the fastpass and it'll be absolutely fine, lovely.
Instead they have rides (if we say now they've included flats) which can do 400pph... so even 50 people using reserve will make a big difference to the main queue.
Fuuuuun. May as well change to Qbot if they wanna do this (oorrrr stick to allocated fastrack timeslots, of which you'd make far more money even when managed properly unlike a revenue share Qbot!)

That's because it's a pizza... not a rollercoaster.

Niglos benin!

B&M building something which looks like an SLC?
****s gonna go down.

The first weekend of Scarefest is gypsies. The first week of Scarefest is dead and a great time to do if you can.
Fireworks are utterly fantastic too, and well worth it. Just don't expect to ride much unless you arrive in the morning (as everyone arrives for one ride and fireworks, literally).
-
They're getting an Air Race for that spot.
Pretty sure that's what it's called? Benzin can back me up here!

Repaint was on the cards over winter.. repaint is still kinda on the cards this winter.
Hopefully it gets it.

Rita's is awful purely because of the entrance positioning - it's literally there shouting LOOK AT ME I AM AN ENTRANCE whereas the real entrance is nowhere to be seen. Therefore it can be known on occasions to have the gate open for as little as 10 minutes before closing again because its longer than the main queue time.
-
Yeah fair enough with the area theming - that's the thing when lego own 30% of merlin, they kinda want their product to look the absolute best (and not really interested in anything else).
Lego is just ridiculous for 2d signs anyway - I hate how all of their signage is either on plastic or with perspex infront of it, no creativity or variety (and usually no difference depending on area too).
-
- LEGOLAND can do themeing. So my question is, why can't the rest of Merlin?
- Despite this, why do all Merlin attraction signs have to be 2d vinyl signs. Can't we be a bit more creative here?
Lego can do theming to the extent of the other parks.. it's no better than some other merlin investments.
2d vinyl Signs? The Smiler, Nemesis Sub Terra, Thirteen?
-
The others are in far better locations... these ones are just designed to try and be eye catching and attention seeking (the vinyls will all be added soon it seems)
-
I'm sorry.. but all these arguments on the past page and noones pointed out..
He said he had free tickets to the theme park.. so decides to come only for the Summer Night event, an event which is short, has hardly any attractions available, and not worth anywhere near the value of the full price day ticket (and surely also excluded from the terms of the free return ticket).
Calling bull**** on this one.
-
The day Rita decides to kill itself so they remove it, the better.
Only counting down the years left. Can't be that long now!!

Dunno why anyone thinks Merlin food is expensive. £7 is an average meal without discount and that comes with a drink.
You'd be lucky to have similar quality for that price in the other parks - and go disneyland paris it's £13 euro for an equivilent!
