Crap Thorpe Park rumour

[Ian]

I love Thorpe Park. The amount of stories, or non-stories in most instances, related to the park are unreal.

Thorpe Park tweeted this:

There have been no incidents @THORPEPARK today. Rumours of a death are liable and the source is being investigated

Source: http://twitter.com/THORPEPARK/status/58500122266435584

Anybody know where this rumour orginated from? It's a rather pathetic one I must say, but the tweet did bring a wry smile to my face.

Is it not like that thing that's been posted all over people's Facebook account? It's people sharing a link that's something like" OMG! Theme Park Accident at Alton Towers Today. ? Dead", then if you click on it (which I'm not retarded enough to do), it shares the link to someone else and keeps doing that. It's so stupid. I think it's possible one of these types of chain things has gone around about Thorpe? If so, good on them for kicking up a fuss, there's SO many gullible morons that will believe this and not go to the park's mentioned!

What are the rumours of a death "liable" for exactly? What are these rumours responsible for?


Idiot.

 

[Ben]

I think they might mean libel tbh. Which it technically is.

This, most likely. Blame Facebook developers and gullible, idiotic Facebook users, notably around 100 of my "friends".

Yeah, I had it too. I had 4/5 separate posts from people about the same topic, needless to say, they all got deleted within 1 minute of them being broadcasted.

So which coaster came off it's tracks?

I heard that one of the rotating saws on Saw's drops fell off, rolled over to Loggers Leap and cut a boat in half. The people inside the boat drowned.

I didn't know Thorpe was the site of Final Destination 6. :roll:

Hence my emphasising the word "liable" by putting it in quotation marks and calling the person who posted it on Twatter an idiot.

It just annoys the **** out of me when official messages/updates from parks are written by morons. It shouldn't matter if it's just Twitter/Facebook, it's still a representation of the park.

The Banana Boat thingy.

That would be ****ing awesome.

They should actually make something like this happen maybe once every 10,000 rides just to add that 'death element' to it.

I can't actually agree more with the latter of your post. Just because it's a social networking website, doesn't mean they should become less professional.

Oh, Sam, how I've missed your posts! lol!

No. It would destroy one of Thorpe's best rides: Logger's Leap.

Yeah, plus, you wouldn't want to destroy the Diana memorial!

 

[Mr Nash]

I'm surprised they didn't use the oppotunity to get a cheap plug in.
