Thorpe Park: General Discussion

[Connor98]

Thorpe park’s auction has gone live today. And the demand for a loggers leap boat is slightly higher than expected…

That has to be a problem with the software! If not, that is absurd.

Could that be the one that Princess Diana rode in? Would make sense if so.

 

[Islander]

Or, more likely, some enthusiasts playing silly beggars and the whole thing will become null and void when they can't pay lol.

It’s been set back to starting price again now. So obviously someone having fun. Would have liked to see the park take them to court for the million and use it to finish Hyperia.

That hasn't lasted long...



Definitely some idiots messing around, got to be.

Edit: getting even sillier now

This is getting crazy I doubt anyone would realistically be spending that money on boats for Loggers Leap.

That money can be spent on the park if true

Finishing off Hyperia, a flat ride to replace Slammer, a nice new flume to replace Loggers, the gutting out of the Ghost Train and a nice Rocky Mountain Construction Hybrid rollercoaster on RMC Island

There's loads that the park could do with that amount of money

...and here people were genuinely suggesting it might've been because Diana sat in that boat

Maybe Thorpe should have made it so people have to enter their payment details first. Would have added a level of commitment.

For what it's worth, the last bid is more than the GDP of Switzerland

It's ended early...

Amateur hour for the park because until they change the requirements for bids you’ll keep getting fake bids.

They’ve added a warning

Please be aware when placing bids that these are binding and payment will be required when the lot closes on the date below. Falsified bids will be contacted.

Elon Musk has bought Merlin!

£1 trillion, that should be the government back in the black with the VAT receipt on that.

 

[Skyscraper]

Probably the same people who got stupidly high scores on the World of Jumanji games last year.

Edit; highest bid is this one now

That money would be able to help reverse Towers' decline frankly overnight as well as me to buyout M&D's and turn it into Europa Park of the north.

 

[Matt N]

Have they not got some sort of way of preventing ridiculously high bids?

In the absence of this, I agree that payment details should be inputted to bid to make it a bit more binding.

Usually with auctions like this they would make you pre authorise a token amount on your card as part of making the bid (usually like £1 or something that gets refunded in a day or so). The fact they haven’t thought to do something like that is a bit poor.

And a Freddo

Or they could have just used something like eBay and saved a LOT of hassle
