2026: General Discussion

I don't actually mind the yellow personally, a throwback to when it was operational.

Do any of you think Corkscrew removal was a mistake when it could of been refurbished like Python was at Efteling

 

[djtruefitt]

my only concern with it going yellow, is it will look far dirty and grottier than it did when it was purple after a couple of years, especially how everything at towers goes green fairly quickly

The park has finite space and over time people demand new attractions.

I think what replaced it was an improvement (Thirteen), which should always be the minimum expectation when doing so, particularly for an iconic ride.

It’s going to end up yellow and black and look like a Smiler reject part isn’t it

Don’t forget Th13teen was one of the rides that kicked off the trend of family-thrill rides becoming a cornerstone of very major theme park, particularly having ‘trick’ elements that are appealing to a wide range of audiences.

13 was one of the first of a new era of coasters, which comes at the cost of not being the best executions of it’s concept. Still a solid ride that can hold its own, especially when it’s warmed up a bit. Doesn’t need to be everything when Wicker Man is also in the same park, same vibe but totally different direction.

I hope the supports are green like the original corkscrew scheme
