Rides for the Santa's Sleepovers have been on the ATR website for a few weeks now
>Spinball (in over 3 degress)
>CBBIES land
>Duel
>Bay rides

The one that surprises me is duel, it scenes like a long walk through Katanga past shut attractions, unless they are using the Haunted Hallow.
The one thing that me and Amanda wondered is if they have duel open thats the main way to the main body that rides are open from the valley so are they saving money, not running the buses and using air gate but that would make no scence why they had decorated the plaza.
Guests would need to go that way for the RCR anyway.
 
It's usually some misconception over privacy laws that have been poorly explained to Joe public, or just a genuine desire to save people the embarrassment of seeing their stupid comments on the wider stage.

Either way it always makes me laugh when I see that.

I am exactly that ‘Joe public’, not a frequent user on here and didn’t know the rules so was just to be on the safe side
Next time I shall publicly shame in confidence!

Well in my not so expert opinion, you probably did right, unless the original post is a public one, then it's probably best to air on the side of caution than not.

We live in a strange world where it's becoming increasingly clear that what the law says is legal and what people think is legal are two completely different things and if you want a quiet life, it's probably best just to follow the latter thinking.

Back OT, has Blade been dismantled yet?
 
Do they think the reopening of NST will counteract the removal of Blade and Enterprise?

(No evidence to back this up of course but It would not surprise me)

Blade is pretty ancient, I doubt Alton towers know whether it can survive another season until its been properly inspected.

Merlin need a plan for their support rides, all the flat rides bar heave-ho and the spinny thing in CBeebies are over 10 years old.
 
I enjoy the doom and gloom for blade - but is any part of it actually as old as the whole ride? Surely at this point pretty much everything has been replaced at some point? Surely pretty much everything is replaceable in the future, no part of it looks that complex?

I don't see why they couldn't just keep fixing it forever, if they wanted to.

I'll just leave this here...

Such is the problem, they could keep replacing but when the ride is outdated and noone makes ships to that spec anymore where do you get the parts?
Parts get rare and go up in price or you start patching, either way it gets unsustainable.
