Every single time this advert appears, my brain says ‘why is Jonathan Ross advertising Royal Mail?’

Now I’m sharing it with you so you can think the same.

More bad news for Merlin.. Bloomberg are reporting their credit rating has dropped after after S&P Global Ratings warned that the theme park operator could run low on cash in a year. With the company’s capital structure branded ‘unsustainable’.

Maybe they should have made a few more Hyperia Vinyl albums.. 😂

Link to a non paywalled Bloomberg article is in the comments.

Thorpe Park Resort have announced that on Sunday 24th August, they start selling a VERY limited edition of the Hyperia Soundtrack on VINYL. There are only 236 copies available, and they are £65 each (passholders can get a discount).

These are only available at the Hyporium shop.

Are you rushing there on Sunday to get one? Or will you are you not interested? Let me know!

I feel like as a UK based YouTuber with an audience of predominantly UK based men between 18-45 maybe I should reach out to some VPN companies to sponsor my videos.. 😂

Let’s go back to 2015, and the opening of the I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here! attraction that opened in that year. In my archives I actually found some concept sketches that were given to me and other members of the press showing how some of the areas were meant to look. Thought some of you might be interested in them! Like any attraction like this, when it was run well, with all the effects and actors on too form, it was a lot of fun! I do wish we had more of these attractions in parks.. just not upcharged!
