pluk Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 There have been a couple of deleted posts linking to information and pics about DBGT which should not yet be released, given by someone who has ridden it . As all riders so far have signed non-disclosure agreements this is clearly not right and not what the park intends from these previews, the links have therefore been deleted. Please no more linking to it from here. Thanks! KingNemesis, Chaz and Kerfuffle 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaliaKleio Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Hopefully it'll be open to the public soon then, how far in a advance do you think Thorpe will announce the date, I think it'll be a couple of days in advance so they know it will definitely happen. Fingers crossed its open on the 10th July as that's the only time I can up there [emoji4] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Oh I'm sure it'll be open a week or two before then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do need some form of prior announcement of when it's going to open. I was expecting this Friday but it does seem unlikely now. 1st July may be a reasonable date though.

MattyMoo Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 I'm heading back to Thorpe for MOS Meet on 23rd July - and to think that my source joked that I should be alright to ride DBGT by then when I chatted to him at the end of April regarding my visit mid-May and the chance of me riding DBGT for mid-May being zero! At this rate, it could've only been open a couple of weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0wl Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Anyone know what happened to the "tower" which was suppost to advertise the ride outside on the plans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyMoo Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Indeed - I'm actually genuinely excited to ride the thing again now. I wouldn't have read spoilers if it had opened when it was supposed to mind you, as I would've only had to stay away from them for a week! Leaked info isn't too difficult to find.

TPSou Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Today I didn't see any people going in but as we walked past the music started up inside. There were also two people in the shop with name badges on talking to each other saying something like "If people have paid £15-20 for it they're going to be angry" - no idea what that was about but thought someone might find it interesting.

Owen Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Maybe referring to the on ride photos? they are rather small... In regards to the tower, I wouldn't be shocked if Nitrogenie is currently testing to see if it's popular, to then be installed into the tower for next year permanently? I know it's a long shot but as we know, this wouldn't be the first time they've added theming a year into operation... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchada04 Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 The tower was a theming element in the plaza. Instead, Thorpe decided to install nitrogenie. As far as I know that was the situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However she is claiming she signed an NDA and that she wasn't even a hotel guest herself. Not saying you're wrong, but when I was there on Sunday management told me they gave around 100 tickets out at random throughout the day, to non hotel guests. So non hotel guests have been on it Mysterio Ka and Cian 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
