    Thorpe Park 2017: DBGT: Rise of The Demon

    Correct me if i'm wrong but Merlins claims to be second to Disney are more aimed internally / to shareholders regarding visitor numbers rather to the every day guest visiting for a day out at one of their theme parks.. Guest feedback for DBGT seems to be very good (saw most people giving it...

    Thorpe Park: General Discussion

    Expect it to be very busy - their website currently says "We are expecting a higher number of visitors than normal on 15, 18, 19 July" so I guess these will be the busiest of school trip days. For the last 3/4 days they've been extending hours slightly till 5:30 for coasters although think...

    2016: General Discussion

    I find it hard to believe they don't know a ride line up - closed season maintainanance will now be coming to an end, rides which are going to open will be testing and staff will be training, there's no doubt they know what's opening but for some reason are not releasing the info.

    Media Coverage of Alton Towers

    To be fair im sure she has always accepted it would at some point re-open, its the tabloids twisting what she says for a sensational headline as usual!

    Staff Redundancies

    I know its a trend to bash Merlin at every opportunity, but not many company's would sustain the falls in revenue that Merlin have seen across its UK parks this year and not make staff redundancies. Its crappy for the staff (I know ive been made redundant before) and I hope those effected are...

    Incident on The Smiler 02/06/2015

    I wonder if they are timing its lap times around the track with different weights to determine what would be an acceptable minimal weight during operation - so bit like Thirteen it wont run without so many people in a car. Just a thought
