I hope the park take serious action against them. Its one thing to break into the park let alone to try and climb one of the uks tallest roller coasters.

rob666 Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Sounds like a good outing to me! It's not like they would have hurt anyone else if they fell off. BruceyBruce and Whatever 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobF Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Think of the PR fallout and further damage to there reputation if they had fallen. Thorpe Park have long known the issues with the fence at monks walk with a number of regular fence junpers but havent fixed the fence to stop them. All the guests the next day would have had there days ruined as I doubt the park would either open or have areas closed as a result PJ., Han30 and ste193 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Han30 Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Yup can you imagine the headlines if one of the idiots had fallen and seriously hurt themselves or worse - what possess someone to scale a fence to enter an empty theme park and then climb 200 odd feet up a rollercoaster?! The park would have got the blame for it in the media and no doubt The Smiler incident would be dragged up again - some people are a special kind of stupid PJ., Mer, ste193 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThemeParkCrafter Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 I guess it must have been worth it for the youths. A lifelong ban on the premise must have made their day ste193 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveJ Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Did this really happen or is the advert-laden article in a local newspaper just another Merlin PR stunt? Likely, but I can't tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 It did really happen and is not PR. I think the last thing we want to do is assist in the promotion of this idiocy by these morons. Coaster and PJ. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
