Yeah that surprised me as well, Bonfire might seems like a good day to finish with FireworksI am surprised Thorpe don't open the rest of the week.
Problem is that it's a small area and all depends on my opinion on what film is in the 4d cinema. I doubt much will be spent on a seating refurb so they need a film that links in with the effects or do they get rid of 4d as most areas now have 4dx and put in a dark ride in years to come? Is it possible to put in a transit system that could go over 2 floors? To make use of the space? Link it to amity? Something like escape the floods? Family ride.I don’t think we need another generic pirate theme leave those themes to Drayton manor. I’m sure Merlin can come up with something more original and exciting!

Now I'm sitting here in the MOT centre whispering "thorpe park" to myself in my London accent.Random but related thought. I've always found it quite amusing, and slightly mean, that the majority of people in Thorpe's catchment area can't instinctively pronounce the name of the park correctly.
Forpe Park.
It's a very south eastern trait to not be able to pronounce "th" sounds in words.
Yes, Essex/Medway right down to us here in Fanet.Better a Forper than a Foosie.
Not all of us west Londoners have that trait. It’s more of a estuary English (Essex /Medway) thing. Sadly, those accents seem to be the ones that get on telly more often, and influence the kiddywinks.
Round here, in the heart of Metroland, you’re more likely to hear old people speak in full on RP. The younglings, though, communicate in “MLE”, and that does drop TH in favour of F.
Us respectable middle aged folk just speak normally.
Surrey and Sussex too, almost certainly, surely? There's an RP element, but still the F.Better a Forper than a Foosie.

I live in Thanet as well, and I definitely pronounce Thorpe Park with a 'Th', so it isn't all of us.Yes, Essex/Medway right down to us here in Fanet.
