The park really does lack atmosphere on these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also never understood the 10am openings given how most people tend to arrive at the park at 12. I'd rather see the park open at 12 and close later than open really early especially as most people don't live close enough to be able to wake up at a reasonable hour. They could also use that extra 2 hours to actually clean the park. What do all those at the shark do til 12 then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people don't travel from that far frankly; I reckon at least 90% of people visiting live under a 2hr drive from the park. Leaving at 8am is hardly an unreasonable hour. The trouble with closing later is a culture thing. British culture very much revolves around 'get in early, get out early' so people can do other things with their evenings. Convincing people to stay at a park later in the UK is difficult and, to date, the only thing that really works is Halloween / firework events. Outside of that, it's tricky to convince people to stay. On 12/22/2019 at 2:55 PM, Ivsetti said: They could also use that extra 2 hours to actually clean the park. Is there a difference between cleaning the park before it's open as opposed to after its closed? Either way you're having to pay for staff to be there for the same amount of time.

Looks like we're getting some sort of new technology/dark based attraction for this year. Another short term indoor attraction? Clearly with the season opening being a little over a month away, we will see Thorpe ramping up the marketing for this. Keen to see a Jack Silkstone over-analysis video of this image like Matt said 😂 Maybe this could actually be a highly themed immersive attraction if there is a strong IP involved. I'm hoping more Living Nightmare standards of theming than Angry Birds. Realistically it is going to be another couple years of short term investment, but hopefully all will be worth it soon. RMC 2022? Or who knows this could just be another flop of an attraction that we will be talking about being replaced in a years time!

Matt 236 Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 The picture tells me Stealth will be open this year. That makes me very happy. Oh and they need to upgrade their Picsolve photos I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukeP_8 Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 It will either be some initial teaser that they'll drag out over the course of the season, then bring some rollercoaster foe next year. (Very unlikely) Or just some insignificant addition that they built too much hype for. Like it could even be just some celebration for a new decade for thorpe park or some bs like that...

coaster38 Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 T O E R = ? They went to the effort of using exactly the same hashtag on this post across all of their social media accounts.... Makes no sense to have it there with the strange capitalisation if it's not meant to mean anything or be some type of clue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 It's possible they just copied and pasted the same text across all the same social media platforms and the capitalized letters mean nothing. If the letters which are, or are not, in capital letters mean anything, I'm almost certain that we won't be able to figure out what they mean until after an announcement is made. Even then, I doubt they mean anything anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 But endless speculation and hyping and then being disappointed by the actual reveal is an enthusiasts bread and butter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
