Its gear Gym but not as we know it

I think I dress for the gym as well as any woman who wakes at 5.30am to get there. My Motto is “ if it’s clean, its coordinated”.. let’s not push what my definition of clean is either as that stretches from freshly washed , to not too smelly but certainly not one something that could be used as part of the Saw attraction at Thorpe Park!

I read the article with a mixture of disbelief and amusement yesterday.. is this really what it has come to for Theme Parks…. ??

I mean I got excited on the “Grand National” and the “Big Dipper” at Blackpool without the need for a marketed “signature stench”. Thinking back maybe it would have been sweat, lager and vomit mixed with the waft of popcorn after Scotch week…

On Friday Thorpe Park are holding a contest and a £500 cash prize for the most pungent-smelling urine which will then be used alongside other smells in the maze. Why pay £500? I’ve been down a few alleys in London (no comments please) and the stench from stale urine almost made me lose an eyebrow…

They could just wander around London collecting smells and then give the money to charity. It’s not as though you couldn’t find any samples, just hang about the pubs, hell.. I even saw a man in a suit whip it out and pee against the “Britain at War” building in London Bridge at 8.30am one morning. Well… I did also see a discarded pair of black lacy knickers (not mine) outside the Pret at London Bridge too so maybe it’s just that area… or maybe it’s just me?

However, it will be great publicity. I bet someone who wins this will be really proud. I don’t envy entertainments manager Laura Sinclair who is choosing the winning sample

She said: "We want SAW Alive to be as authentic and terrifying as possible to make visitors feel as if they are living in a real-life horror film. To do this we need to really push the boundaries of what our guest experience from a sensory point of view. “

Suggestion – how about Thorpe Park doing the experience of a packed Jubilee line to Canary Wharf on a hot August morning???

Anyway – back to gym gear … Ok maybe later
