    Thorpe Park: General Discussion

    Wonder if you'll get a free COVID test before you ride? The queue will be more than long enough for a lateral flow test, can probably even get a PCR couriered to a lab and tested before boarding.

    Thorpe Park: General Discussion

    Also currently says no room service. So I'm presuming the alternative catering option will be a sign saying 'use Deliveroo'? Or maybe they won't empty the bins until morning? Hopefully those who are booked with the assurance of a restaurant and evening 'entertainment' aren't forced to accept...

    To be fair to some, Towers did make the link public yesterday, and was still public until quite late last night when I last looked. Either way, impressive ooopsie by Merlin and opportunism by seemingly quite a few people.

    Some might say that if they work, they might be better than Blade or Enterprise.

    2021: General Discussion

    Well this has been a rapid set of developments this evening, and Twitter seems to presently be melting down in a mix of amazement and trolling of Towers. I'm going to go ahead and guess social media one-upmanship is not how Towers marketing wanted the information release to happen. Wonder if...

    Thorpe Park: General Discussion

    The hardware hasn't reached obsolete levels yet, and firmware is still maintained by Valve (although there's a high chance it has never actually been updated). The hardware was very well specified at the time, and combined with the way they re-recorded the content, could probably hold its own...

    London Entertainment Resort: All Discussion

    I believe Nick Varney suggested a tanked pound after a worst case Brexit could enable in-bound tourism, where holiday makers can get a lot more for their Euro. London Resort would actually be ideally suited to that situation.

    Thorpe Park: General Discussion

    Still have the issue of an enclosed space though and people screaming. Could we see the removal of the VR at some point. Those headsets are very old now, and were never designed for the kind of usage they've been subject to.

    Disneyland Paris: General Discussion

    Disney are being very lucky that the park is closed here. I wonder if having the park being closed will allow them to do work faster than it will when the park reopens?

    Thorpe Park: General Discussion

    Nope, Thorpe haven't announced anything like this, so I presume the RMC Google Maps style edits have appeared on Wikipedia. :) Now we may find out that actually there is accidental truth to the statement before the season starts. But that's based upon nothing more than a low accuracy educated...

    Worth noting that Attraction Source is essentially an entirely new thing with new people, due to the majority of those who made TTSP, and in particular its editorial content, no longer being at the site. There's a huge amount of information in these documents, the author of this article has...

    Coincidentally, $6bn being roughly what some hedge funds look set to lose on shorting Gameshop stock. Surely this has to be a less risky investment to someone? :p

    Bar a castle in the middle of the gate 1 site, these documents cover everything around the outside of gates 1 and 2. Bonus item includes an indoor waterpark.

    Merlin Annual Pass

    This is certainly an odd timeline we're in... Reducing numbers or reducing customer service complaints, either way it's quite a change in upfront public policy from Merlin.

    Merlin Annual Pass

    Wow, they've chosen the policy of don't like it, leave? I suppose those on the 12 month tie in can't do that.

    Coronavirus

    I would suspect it comes down to how detailed your area is. I can get down to near housing estate levels on some, which indicates barely 10 houses in half the town have tested positive, and yet we're in Tier 4. There are areas that have been placed in Tier 4 that have lower per 100,000 rates...

    Chessington World of Adventures Resort

    An actual theme park, which enticed you in from the car park as you waited for the ticket counters to open, with the monorail trundling around. The park entrance signs giving a sense of excitement. Then inside the little details, and the bigger set pieces. Essentially nothing from that time...

    Coronavirus

    Yet again the choice of regions into tiers makes no sense. I'm in a largely rural area, we have 346 cases in the last 7 days, and now in tier 4. Drive 20 minutes north, another largely rural area, but with a city - 1150 cases in the last 7 days, tier 2. Edit: the rates per 100,000 are also...

    Coronavirus

    Could the real prime minister please stand up? Please stand up. Please stand up, and well go ahead and resign. The decision to restrict movement and gathering last night, for me is clearly the correct public health decision. This appears to be a serious mutation - which at best has...
