Kevin Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Care to spill the beans Mr Know-it-all?To be fair he probably does know a lot more than he lets on.And you'd be surprised about drinking coffee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted January 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 To be fair, I think we all sort of expect something to go on over closed season. I was just saying that visible things to the rides is quiet this time round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThrillSeekerMatt Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 You've just obviously missed it/can't see it.Possible reference to X:\NWO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattgwise Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Didnt know where to put this:So I open the sun to find that they are doing the norml 2for1 vouchers for all merlin parks, but fter reading TP isn't included.. why?! The Alton,CWoA & LEGOland seperate vouchers says valid until April 30th so its not as though its only for Febuary half term.. I was bit confused!Probably because the theme park voucher which is missing Thorpe Park is a "kids go free" one and they don't want kids going to a park with little to do. CWOA, Legoland and Alton Towers are fine for kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 I dont know anything but its kinda obvious there not sitting there watching deal or no deal drinking coffee for 5 months.In previous years we've had Vortex removed completely for refurb, Zodiac replaced by another model, Samurai pods taken away, Rush arms removed. Maybe thats what JoshC is referring to when he says the park is quieter as nothing large scale has been seen from outside it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trippy Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 well if they are doing anything it should be removing the baked beans (I think) stain from the nemesis sign if that is still there I wont be very happy :L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of the bird poo on laser raiders sign. 6 weeks, I wanted to clean it. But I had to be ladder trained.. then I had to be trained in right cleaning stuff, then I'd have to ask permission.It was still there all of last year >_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you not able to just get a really long broom or mop? Or is it pretty high? Haven't been to Legoland for years.I'd like to see some improvements that are on the same scale as last year. I was pleasantly surprised when the park re-opened for 2010. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skunky Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Just because we cant see it any improvements doesn't mean there hasnt been any. And dont be so obssesed with something happening to X no Way Out its highly unlikely to have any major upgrades or any additions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't you all rather have the rides safe rather than clean park I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Yes but once the rides are continually safe (which, in merlin, they are). Then they need to concentrate on other stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Yeah totally agree the park looks shabby and wants a proper good clean IMO because turns down trade . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazzer Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I might not work in Enviro anymore but I can tell you now, the main bridge has been de-gummed, and they are currently doing the Admissions area and I've been told (by a SP TL) that they have de-gummed the whole park and it's looking rather nice compared to other years...

Dan Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Alot of the areas look fine, I can't think of much else than Colossus that needs a major clean but it certainly makes the park look a lot better especially when tidal wave was all re painted and revamped with the exception of the fire thing Yeah Colossus was pritty minging last year espessialy through the tunnel in the queue line stunk like high heaven .Haz :- can't wait to see clean park hate chewing gum everywhere it's a pain gets stick to ya shoes and ends up in ya car ! and pain to get of matts . And looks untidy with it everywhere Thanks for reply s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraX Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Didn't quite know exactly where to put this; We've seen them before at both Chessington and Alton Towers and not sure if this has already been seen, but check out Silent UK's photo's at Thorpe Park, from 2009. I recon they're due another trip.. ;)If you don't already know, Silent UK are into 'Urban Exploration', which is basicly trespassing, but the pictures they take are pretty unique and defenitly worth a look!Trespass here!

holtjammy16 Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 So they went in there with out thorpe park knowing?I want to try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraX Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Thorpe Park are fully aware of them and their stunts in the other Merlin parks, but what can they do apart from keep a close eye... when they're there at least!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Yeah, they have little else they can do apart from watch and ensure they don't damage anything - which urban explorers don't do.Quite fascinating photos, I love pictures from these guys!

Marc Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Rush is getting a little bit more TLC this year than usual, the top has been taken off along with half of each arm so when you go by the park most of its gone at the moment!

Bubbles1 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I saw the video of that actually.However, one Internet news site seemed to think that the ride had fallen over?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenVig Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Does anyone have anything else that could be reported that isnt Swarm related?Nice to know Rush is getting some attention, I think it is slightly overdue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
