To this day i am still deeply upset about the removal of Toyland Tours. the ride was part of my childhood! i remember going on it all the time as a child and every time i loved it! ok so it was a little worn out towards the end, but it was still a lot more interesting to ride then Charlie is...

Ripped out and destroyed in favor of HBLs Katanga forward outpost

this one Rob?

having adverts up around the resort is no substitute for having the guest actually walk through the doors to get to the water park. and even if they are only staying for the day on that occasion by actually being inside the hotels can make them want to come back on another occasion to stay over

Re: Future of Queline Displays? The plasma screen idea certainly seems like the way forward here, the LED displays at the moment are pretty useless. how many times have you all been waiting for the ride you wanted to pop up after waiting through about 4 screens!

but B&Ms have a life time guarantee don't they? so any replacement would not cost the park? the forces put on the track in the helix are unusually strong even for a coaster though are they not?

the track is also painted and distressed, not unreasonable that any differences in track age are concealed behind this. a lot of work was carried out on the track and support as you enter the tunnel after the loop a couple of years ago, but i dont think any track was replaced then, just...

some of the track has DEFINITELY been replaced over the years, part of the helix for example was replaced in the last 5 years or so

and those in longer queues can get online to pass the time!

the only problem with the site is that IF they do remove Nemesis at some point (after getting the bolt cutters out and removing Badger from the resort) they will struggle to actually use the site, if they fill the pit in it will be a LONG time before they an build anything on the site due to the...

This is a very welcome if somewhat overdue move! i for one struggle to get any signal on resort, thus making the much talked about Alton Towers App pretty much useless, along with Facebook and Twitter. It took me a while to work out what those little boxes were i saw one the other Friday...

was queueing for Sub Terra the other day and some people got to the front of the queue and asked if it was the queue for nemesis... the host said no and they looked confused and left! oh and Oblivious, nice Avatar :-p where you get that from! :p

OR they would of added a THIRD theme to the area, making no sense what so ever. would of been nice to see it with an Ug Land theme though, maybe some sort of second element to the thunder rock rally? racing through the woods, before maybe going off the edge of a cliff (thus utilizing the...

Re: Future of the Flume Also they cant seal it completely as the water from the Katanga lake feeds into it doesn't it?

While it is the usual routine of "Merlin wont make any extra money from refitting the Monorail stations so whats to motivate them" it would be nice to think they care enough about the guests experience at the resort to justify some sort of upgrade to them. There are a few fundamental problems...

Re: Future of the Flume the Flume site is a really tricky one, with it being so close to the gardens and part of the conservation area it really limits how much they can do there. im sure some time ago someone said that if they replaced the flume it would have to follow the route of the...

I'm still really curious as to why the last few bits of the BH tent have been left on site. maybe some sort of planning loophole. Technical the original structure hasn't been removed or something? When you look at the site in the photos it looks so much smaller then the elevations of the...

Or in the case of some rides they may see exactly what they queue 2 hours to go on the ride to see...

Like the one on the wall in Guest Services? now that would look good in my flat!

Just a side note but IS Fried Chicken Co. a success? last few times ive been on park they were handing out buy one get one free vouchers to everyone as they came in. to me this would suggest they haven't had the demand for it they had hoped
