Is Thorpe Park's Asylum an appropriate theme?

[marc]

I am starting to think this whole thing is a publicity stunt by Merlin.

Get it mentioned in the news people will go to see what the fuss is about.

Well they're remaining bullish so far, but I think they may cave in - certainly not expecting it to return next year.

Oo-err - I better stop suppressing my deranged masturbation, but I'm worried it may lead to some imaginary female trouble!

I've no problem with the name, does it really matter what the maze is called. They should rename it next year

" Rot In Hell" or "Death to all" :--D

Clearly missing the joke there... But points for needless rudeness...

I am disappointed that it has had to change, I just think if we are going to change something everytime anyone is offended we'll reach the point where things are labelled like they are on RCT, Scare Maze #1, Inverted Rollercoaster #3 etc.

I accept that people are offended by it, but I think that forcing Thorpe Park into thinking they need to take action over the name of a maze is taking things too far.

This was far from the first or last 'Asylum' themed attraction to be built. It's all just a PR stunt generated by Thorpe.

Just think of the good PR they'll receive when they announce next year; "We listened to what the public wanted and changed the attraction", even though it was already on the chopping block to go...
