I agree with this, Galactica was re-themed in 2016, and this image was released I believe in summer 2017, so thorpe potentially had something technological themed in the works at the time seeing what Merlin did with Galactica. That bridge does look like a hyper coaster, and they're still using that blue/tech theme this season. I'm probably over-speculating and over-hyping this all but I'm hoping theres definitely still something bigger in the works. That image was used to signify 'the road to 2020', since 2020 was meant to be the next big investment. The picture is of the Meydan Bridge in Dubai, and was just generic 'futuristic' because it was looking at the future. It had no significance for the rides they were considering, or the themes they were considering. I agree that the Galactica retheme did well for Towers and it might have convinced Merlin to keep that sort of style in mind. With Black Mirror, they've got a solid idea with that tbf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrortomb Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 Black Mirror actually sounds pretty cool. I wonder if some of the mirrors were taken from Hocus Pocus 😛 As long as there's no safety exit line on the floor, it should be decent!

Stuntman707 Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 And the GP will want to ride it as it is the "World's First" Duplo coaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyMoo Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 Might be worth starting a 2021 thread soon I reckon 👀 How long before Black Mirror becomes new for 2021 I wonder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hethetheth Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 In the age of social distancing I think it's very unlikely that a free-roaming attraction where people touch walls will open this year. 2021 probably more likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 2020 literally feels like an episode of Black Mirror with everything going on. The high likelihood of a Black Mirror attraction being delayed until next year is completely ironic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyMoo Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 Since most of the rides/themes at Thorpe are apocalyptic and full of destruction, expect some hasty rethemes for 2021. I got this list straight from Park Pixie so she gonna get in BIG trouble. Nemesis InFun - No? The Walking Alive People: The Ride Pleasant: The Ride Swoopy Swoopy Fun Woosh Darren Brown's Empty Rush Hour Train JoelAllen, jessica2, JoshuaA and 1 other 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if the IP will have any say in when the attraction can open. If already commissioned they may expect it to be opened when the park reopens.

In fairness, I expect that any IP will be understanding of the situation and not expect an attraction to open if it's not safe to do so. It may means some renegotiations are had when it comes to money and that, but that'd all depend on the fine wording of the contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Issue is the attraction wouldn't open as intended, if the attraction has any water / bubble based effects these won't be turned on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
