Paultons Park: General Discussion

[Tom11]

Think this is a very positive step in Paultons development, think if it is as good as the concept shown , this will be a stunning area.

The Gerstlauer will have over the shoulder restraints. They've reasoned that the perception of an over the shoulder restraint is safer than a lap bar, for parents and families, have forced their hand.

Strange that nothing mentioned about Edge, water ride confirmed for 2027

So they have confirmed magma is leaving the park but staying in the UK… so who do we think has bought magma?

Chessington hopefully. So they can get their blasted one spinning again.

Although that would be cruel.. like a shark fin soup situation…

 

[Ash]

Wow…

As solid and sensible as you could wish for.

New Viking area - Valgard (May 2026 opening)

New Gerstlauer eurofighter (Drakon), with two inversions, vertical lift and dark section.

New art engineering wild swing

New highly themed children’s play area

Raven - Cobra rethemed

New highly themed restaurant

New toilet block

Magma removed from the park but not the UK…

New water attraction/area teased for 2027 on the go karts site (if this is a Mack water coaster )

New accommodation 2030+

Honestly; they embarrass Merlin with their additions. The effort, attention to detail and quality with what they’ve put in. A provincial theme park. Worth saying that tomorrow (12th May) has longer opening hours than Alton Towers.

Sensible, targeted additions, achieving good value for money and quality.

Go and visit, they deserve it

 

[Quantum]

Paultons are doing gradual step ups rather than big leaps in terms of thrills levels. Definitely a sensible approach, looking forward to visiting next year

 

[QTXAdsy]

Not the coaster I was hoping for but maybe this might have the lapbar trains maybe compared to the rest?

Suppose they are being quite conservative and they are taking baby steps with this being their first inversion coaster so I'm not going to get too worked up about it. Also, 2027 seems to be a water ride so let's see how that goes. Going to be interesting to see that barren area of the land look so different come next year.

Concept are looks good, but I am a little disappointed in a Euro Fighter.

They've just confirmed that The Edge will remain at the park, but will not be part of the Vanguard area.

Sorry, OTSRs.

Interesting, still think it may be on borrowed time

Eurofighter will have a 1.25 m height restriction. Flat ride will be 90 cm.

Eurofighter will have a maximum operating height of 23m.

 

[QTXAdsy]

Sorry, OTSRs.

Well that's no good for head banging sadly.

...sorry, did I miss something? What's on borrowed time?

The Edge

Ah - my quote didn’t even mention The Edge

 

[QTXAdsy]

The Edge

Ah right, think it was being moved elsewhere on the park unless I misheard that?

 

[Hid]

This is looking excellent can't wait finally a thrill coaster and hopefully this Gerstlauer has Lap Bars

It’s been stated several times already it won’t have lap bars
