Thorpe Park: General Discussion

It's taken Merlin 2 1/2 years to apply for planning permission to to knock down an eyesore rapids people would see on every visit to Legoland. At Thorpe a few well placed walls with some vinyls on and they can pretend the Rumba Rapids didn't exist for decades.
Seems that sadly what I wrote a few weeks ago looks pretty much spot on.
 
You can't say that for certain though, as we have no idea what they are doing. All we can do is just wait and see.
All the evidence points to that. The "back in 2026" demolition of the entrance just a week before opening. They basically admitted they have no plans for the area in the closure announcement. Not even pretending its for future developments
 
I think it is fair to say nothing about this seems very planned.

If they knew it wasn't going to reopen, all of the current activity would have made way more sense at the start of the closed season, rather than the end.
 
Looks slow.


Though in all seriousness, that looks bland to the point of awful. It has real school playground paid for by PFI VIBES.
