Bush BBQ is no longer open on the park. The signs for the eatery have been taken down and its been fenced off. Inferno's Pizza Pasta has had an extension. Also pizza pasta now only has sugar free drinks options. The coffee kiosk next to Bush BBQ has become a pasty stand. Mexican Cantina is currently undergoing a brand change to Sombrero's Burrito Bar. Roast N Relish has also closed. Crust has also reopened. The doughnut stand nearest the Amity toilets has also been renamed to Donut Compound. A lot of the food outlets have also become card payments only.

No. There is a donut place next to the main arcade bit, near DBGT.

As reported by SouthParks Facebook; Earlier today, THORPE PARK Official announced that The Walking Dead: The Ride will be equipped with devices that can harvest kinetic energy, including passengers’ screams, in order to charge the phones of other park guests.
As well as providing a look at the technology, the video also features what looks to be some of the ride’s queue-line and theming, as well as some rear-facing on-ride footage!

Totally agree with this. Its made it a joke instead of something serious. I was really excited to ride this and now, not so much!Justin wrote:Things like this just don't do the ride any justice. They've made the ride laughable now!

They say that the more the train vibrates, the more energy is produced. Interesting. If Towers want to save money to get their SRQs and baggage holds back they should put this on The Smiler and Rita! :lol

It wasn't operational today (Monday) but they were actively working on one of the swing. They were investigating/working on the top of the gondola/bottom of the arm. I can't remember which side though, sorry!

At least they're not advertising and boasting about the fact that it can charge phones! Looks great, theming looks fantastic looking forward to it.
Hey doesn't that sound familiar, Galactica world's first dedicated vr coaster! or TWD the ride, can charge phones! Seriously I know phones are popular with most teenagers, but really? Merlin are running out of gimmicks, just give us a good ride!
On the ride:
Wow this is great I love the new ride theme! Wait a minute what's that!
I got to check the battery percentage on my phone...

These are all looking very nice, thanks for these.
Does anyone know what’s up with Quantum or when it might open for the season?

I’m trying to buy the Thorpe Park CD on the Imascore website using Sterling, but its only available with Euros. Does anyone know how to change it?

I think if you pay via PayPal they automatically convert it to euros for you. I'm not sure how it works when using debit/credit cards but I know using PayPal transfers it to euros and doesn't give out your actual card details.Wagstaff04 wrote:I’m trying to buy the Thorpe Park CD on the Imascore website using Sterling, but its only available with Euros.

I hope this helps!

You can do it via PayPal, Credit/Debit card or Direct Debit.Wagstaff04 wrote:Is there another way?
With IMAscore being based in Germany, their website will always display prices in Euros. If you want to know how much that relates to in Sterling, just search for a currency converter on Google (other search engines are available :P )
Including shipping, the CD costs £19.96, so even though the website and order confirmation etc will be in Euros, your bank statement will show a transaction in Sterling.
