Ivsetti Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 Apparently trees around Loggers Leap have been stripped down. Potentially in preparation to remove the ride/ survey the area for whatever reasons it needs surveying? Quote "How exciting"... - Absolutely no one Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ivsetti Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 Does anyone know if "The Hunstman's Arms" F&B shop was open during 2019 or if it's something new for 2020? Just saw it on the app (it looks like it's themed to the Jungle Escape escape room). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was in the BBQ place (Dirty Hot Dogs under a tent or whatever it's called), at the other end closest to Old Town. It's literally just the bar, which only opens when busy and only serves alcohol.

JoshC. Posted January 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Thorpe are still plodding on with their Closed Season updates.. Nothing particularly exciting this this update, but I know people enjoy these things. This year's set of updates doesn't seem to have the same level of charm about it as last closed season for me personally. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. Ryan, Marhelorpe, Ivsetti and 4 others 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ZeroG Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 Wonder what’s happened they just stopped 🤔 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattyMoo Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 They've stopped because groundwork has started for the RMC lads. Martin Doyle, Ivsetti, Rach666 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
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 post Share on other sites

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? Rach666 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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 post Share on other sites

JoshuaA Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 when alton is more likely to get another coaster before Thorpe gets a new proper new ride period.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
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 post Share on other sites
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 post Share on other sites
