The “you’d think this is a parody account” reply sums it up.

Incoming Fixed Penalty Notice for Mandy!
Unless she's standing in the street and angled herself perfectly mimicking a driver's view, I'm pretty certain she's taken that photo, on her phone, whilst behind the wheel in her car.

I have never minded the 235ft claim. I know it's not technically correct as that is from sea level , but to be fair it is right next to the sea and that's what you look down at when you go over the top.

I read a post on social media somewhere that said if Blackpool are claiming that The Big One is 235ft from sea level then Thorpe Park can claim that Hyperia is around 300ft from sea level.

At the end of the day Thorpe built to 236 foot to break the height record people associate with The Big One.
If the Big One had always been marketed as 212 foot Thorpe would've built to 213 foot, suppose at least then it might not have needed all those trim breaks in the splash down.

Not quite the same really. The top of Big Ones lift hill is literally about 20 yards from the sea

Also doesn't help that sea levels are rising, so that claim's only going to get shorter and shorter.

Rumour has it Mandy was speaking to Mr Burton when she heard Hyperia was being built:
"JOHN, THAT IS A NEW MACHINE!!!"
"JOHN, THAT IS A NEW MACHINE!!!"

The anticipation just builds and build doesn't it?

Do you think she knows that if she sells Blackpool Pleasure Beach, she may have enough to buy a single theatre in the West End and maybe fund a show there?
