Most Dungeons currently are in locations in city/town centres with big footfall like Blackpool, London, Shanghai, Amsterdam etc.  Warwick Dungeon is the only exception but I think a major reason it is successful is because it is the only thrill based attraction on the grounds outside Halloween.  Alt...

Worth noting that at yesterday’s Interim Results Nick Varney confirmed that the Alton Towers Dungeon will be a “second gate”.

So Towers have banned Nerf Guns and Foam Swords?

It’s very clear why they’re adding a dungeons, attendance will still be high as WM will still be bringing guests in. Additions such as RCR, Treetop Adventure, Dungeons and the 3 new forms of accommodation have all been added to increase guest spending at the park. There may be more of this sort of a...

But I’m unsure in The Haunting and The Highwayman, I think The Highwayman is used in the other dungeons but I’ve never heard about The Haunting though. The Highwayman is a scene at The York Dungeon , but doesn't appear to be anywhere else though. Although I haven't come across any other shows calle...

I know that The Torturer, The Doctor and The Judge are typical Dungeon scenes as I know the other Dungeons have the same scenes. But I’m unsure in The Haunting and The Highwayman, I think The Highwayman is used in the other dungeons but I’ve never heard about The Haunting though. Also 5 scenes with ...

To move the N:ST drop towers into the Charlie building would require a lot of effort and planning just to move the ride which does not take into account that the ride system had restraint issues. All of this would cost a lot of money and time to do it.

Just gonna leave this here. (Credit Unknown, Please change if someone finds out)

Venom - 7/10. This film is bad but enjoyable, It had relatively good CG on the Symbiotes but terrible elsewhere. The Script was awful, It certainly was the opposite of "Show don't tell" as well as having very little character development and the villain feels like a bland version of an Evi...

Hi, Not been in the 2018 season so far but thinking of going for Oct half term.  My usual plan in previous seasons with ERT was Spinball, Oblivion, Ent in ERT, then Smiler at 10, then on to Rita, 13, Nemesis, Air. However WM now changes that and it's scarefest so no ERT (grrrrr). Plan to be at the ...

Didn’t Thorpe say at some TTSP event they planned on taking a year off to improve rides like Rumba?

Forgot to mention this, but has no-one else noticed the most obnoxious new announcement ever. It features someone who sounds like a punk rock fanboy shouting things like “NEMESIS!!!! ENTER THE PIT OF VENGEANCE AT YOUR PERIL!!!!!” It's supposed to be like that, it's from the 90's. 90's pop culture i...

Merlin operates RTP’s on a four year CAPEX cycle, SW8 was marked for 2017 before being delayed so SW9 is expected 2021/2022 time.

The request they made definitely only covered small additions. :) Here is a quote from their application: It is considered that the adoption of PDRs will provide Thorpe Park with the flexibility to provide small scale kiosks, stalls, small scale rides up to specific agreed heights (temporary and pe...

There are definitely plans for a BigDipper but it was supposed to be built if Icon was a huge success but it hasn’t really been too much.

Oh boy, it appears that one of the foam padding signs to notify a seat being out of use has fallen off during operation on Saturday. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/7273448/thorpe-park-horror-high-speed-vortex-incident/?utm_campaign=Echobox&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook#Echobox=153713...

I dunno if anyone knows yet but markings have been found around the Trauma Towers area. Rumours are saying this could be some sort of setup for a show later this season, a new flat or a Mack Rides BigDipper.

It’s good to see that Towers are looking after the Rapids well, I’m sure the mist will be amazing when RMT comes through the tunnel.

Towers planning applications are very different to Thorpe's simply due to the location and don't assume how they submit planning applications can't change. 

Thinking about it I’d be happy if we got something which is a mix of Time Traveller and Cobra’s Curse at Towers, it would be something like Wicker Man which blends the line between family and thrill coaster with spinners being known for not being overly intense and Mack’s low height restrictions. In...
