    Chessington World of Adventures Resort

    Its possible Rattlesnake will get a slight reworking to make it more generic mine, removing the small mexico elements and fit in with Croc Drop and Tomb Blaster.

    Universal GB - Archived Post Announcement Discussion

    Probably not yet. Most of the people at Studios North were prop and model makers. This park likely won't need those kind of services for a few years. Better to get a job with a decent prop maker so that the company is contracted to do work for the new park.

    Universal GB - Archived Post Announcement Discussion

    The big issue there was JCB refusing to give up land and the councils not being willing to pay the money JCB want for the land.

    2025: General Discussion

    Its only next day that is £61 (the same as the on the day price). But yes even the £56 is the most expensive advance tickets for a while. Wouldn't be a bad thing if they already have sold enough tickets for the park to be fairly busy and they are trying to put people off coming. Keep the queue...

    Nintendo Switch 2

    I expect there will be an OLED version at some point but guess that will be a few years

    Nintendo Switch 2

    Just catching up on the Nintendo Direct presentation From: https://www.youtube.com/live/1uGRs-ispRU?si=tRdgg5mxRpF5793P Mario Kart World looks stunning and the driving between courses and different weather is a fun addition. I'm not that bothered about GameChat as I rarely play online...

    Mainly seems like they are removing the gold rings from all logos, but not altering them so much that they will look odd if the old ones are still in place somewhere.

    I have now, that looks a pretty cool well themed kiddie coaster

    Paultons Park: General Discussion

    Yes, they should keep clear of a futuristic theme, but not a space one. Most "space rockets" look nothing like an actual space rocket, you've either got the retro-futuristic thing of the 1950s/60s or as you say the Jules Verne style that DLP uses. The Florida/California Disney Tomorrowland is...

    In a way weekends only might be worse as it means the new staff are straight into high crowds. It might give maintanance more time but not general staff the ability to ramp-up. Maybe they need a Thursday/Friday of cheaper tickets each week with them being selected rides only, then the full park...

    Universal Epic Universe - New Florida Theme Park

    I'd rather express pass or fast track is prohibitively expensive so fewer people use it and the main queue moves quicker.

    Universal Epic Universe - New Florida Theme Park

    There is a splash battle as part of How to Train Your Dragon called Fyre Drill https://www.universalorlando.com/web/en/gb/things-to-do/rides-attractions/fyre-drill So there is a water ride. Zelda expansion is expected for Islands of Adventure.

    This also describes the Disney parks to an extent I think as well.

    [202X] Project Horizon (SW9?): Planning Approved

    Do we know that for sure? I think all that is known is Alton Towers applied for planning permission to build a building with a ride inside.

    Watched anything good lately?

    I suppose he could have won some of those Bafta nominations, but also depends who he was up against. I fully expect many of the cast of Adolescence will be nominated next year.

    Did you not visit during the period just before Merlin/Blackstone took over? This isn’t the first time the standards slipped.

    Even when it was "in its glory" there were still many people describing it as a disappointing attraction. There was a book called "B*ll*cks to Alton Towers" about other places to visit in the UK.
