Thorpe Park: General Discussion

It’ll be due to the equipment Merlin uses and wanting to ensure that guests are familiar with it. Due to the height I imagine it’ll take a lot longer anyway so having someone who knows how to use it will make the experience smoother.

I doubt that is the case. Someone using that equipment once before is not going to make a whole lot of difference. And if that was the case, they'd allow for those who have used such equipment either in their own jobs or whilst doing other activities.

I see it as a way of making people pay for another experience before they do the one they want to. You could also argue that they would claim to be doing it as a gesture of goodwill/priority to those who have done another of their experiences.

It doesn't bother me at all as I won't be doing it. But I suspect that they'll drop that pre-requisite in time.
 
This has to be a joke?

I had a fly hit me the eye on the Stealth launch - no joke, that was painful! Unfortunately for vegans, if they do swallow a fly they'll be unable to fix it by then swallowing a spider, bird, cat, dog, etc...... 😉 These are the problems vegans face everyday...
 
Looks like vegans can't ride Hyperia today anyway as she's thrown a strop again... Been testing but still not open. Gah.

Pales into insignificance compared to the struggle to find vegan cake at towers...
 
For those amongst us that thought Hyperia had too little theming...fear not.

The multi billion pound global bemouth that is Merlin Entertainments have sprung into action.

They've popped to the local garden centre and purchased one lowly metal flamingo(?) and plonked it in the ride area.

Problem solved folks.
