Me either. Fond memories of sitting down with the missus each week last closed season to watch the updates, our floating DBGT train carriage in the background, wearing our Smiler onesies, drinking from our oversized Colossus cups and tucking into our back up closed-season stock of non-branded overpriced pick and mix from The Dome, our necks laden down by our MAP lanyard encrusted in numerous pop badges we stole from small children and staff members. Still haven't opened the Stealth condoms though. pluk, Marhelorpe, jessica2 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyMoo Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 They've stopped because groundwork has started for the RMC lads. Marhelorpe, Rach666, Martin Doyle and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted February 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 They seem to be much more erratic than last season when it comes to uploading them. The length of time between uploads doesn't necessarily mean they have stopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Doyle Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 Clearly they want the return of the mighty Bouncezilla to be a surprise!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroG Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 Yer Bounceziller, Game FX, Jungel escape and a new maze! No rides again and slammer, loggers leap, saw alive just left rotting 🙁 Martin Doyle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenVig Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 Or maybe they are, I don't know, working really hard to put the park back together in time? Filming scaffolding being put around a ride is at the bottom of their to do list, when they have 4 months to inspect every attraction at the park, go figure...

Yes, because the engineers are the ones filming, editing and uploading the videos to social media, instead of, yknow, the marketing department?

Marketing filming gum being taken off rides is still low on their list. They need to actually promote their business for the upcoming season. But since you all are so desperate for a video, here’s one they just posted 24 minutes ago, ironically for Site Presentations Martin Doyle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobF Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Anyone know what the car park is being used for at the moment, is it storing new cars ? As the car park was basically full tonight when we drove past . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted December 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 I believe there's some sort of Tesla thing going on there at the moment, and has been for a couple of weeks. I also think the car park was used a temporary Covid testing site for a day or two a few weeks back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted January 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 There's some rumours going around that the theming feature (which obviously once housed the stuff for the fireball explosion) is being replaced. Certainly those photos make it look necessary. I doubt the fire feature would ever return of course, but it would be nice to see a nicer looking theming feature take its place.
