Ivsetti Report post Posted January 6 https://www.thorpepark.com/blog/infinite-thrills-20-reasons-to-visit-thorpe-park-in-2020 "Reasons to visit in 2020" article by the park has 2 points that give an almost insignificant glimpse for the 2020 season regarding changes. In 2020 they say they're "Initialising" which is also what they said at the end of their 2019 end of season video. (Number 20) For their retro merchandise for the 2020 they say the following: "This year, we'll be bringing back another brilliant range of retro merchandise to give you that nostalgic feeling and a taste for what the Resort was like way back when. Oh, and look out for some familiar faces in next year's range! " (Number 17) (Also someone please make a 2020 thread because this would fit much better there).

Ivsetti Report post Posted January 14 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?

Ivsetti Report post Posted January 16 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 Share this post 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. Report post Posted January 24 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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

JoshC. Report post Posted February 10 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StevenVig Report post Posted February 11 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... 1 Ringo reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, because the engineers are the ones filming, editing and uploading the videos to social media, instead of, yknow, the marketing department? 1 1 Ivsetti and Rach666 reacted to this Quote Share this post 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 1 Martin Doyle reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
