Thorpe Park: General Discussion

In a devastating blow to Drayton Manor Park & Zoo, it would appear that (as leaked by RunThrough earlier today), Shockwave / The Wave, will be relocated to Thorpe Park later this season.

Small mercy is that it doesn't appear as RunThrough are using AI in their promotional material at least.

If this ends up in a YouTuber's video, or ends up being speculated in a comments section, I swear to goose...
 
I am assuming that this is just bad AI rather than an intentional April Fool's joke

(I have already seen some fake April Fool's videos on YouTube about rides being removed etc)

P.S. I would argue that The Wave going to Thorpe Park would actually be worse for Thorpe Park than Drayton Manor
 
I seem to remember that Merlin allegedly used AI to create the new billboard above the Thorpe Park entrance last year, and there were a bunch of mistakes in it, including the Hyperia logo being incorrect (see: https://themeparkguide.co.uk/news-page/AI-or-Not-Fresh-Branding-Unveiled-at-Thorpe-Park-Entrance )

Alton Towers also had a bad AI image in their gift shop of Nemesis Reborn looking incorrect, and I seem to remember seeing an image of Oblivion with three rows instead of two rows somewhere as well !
