You mean like their historic long term plans to the keep aging hardware refreshed and updated?

They best get a move on then, as that ride is two thirds of the way through its expected life. What you mention will take a good few years to come to fruition. Unfortunately, it is not like Towers to make many long term plans.

There we have it, all fixed. Thank you 🙏😊

Does anyone know why this is happening and I cannot use any of the features of the tool bar? It has bugged me for a while.

While on the subject of ETPA, they posted this fantastic picture to Alton Towers Archive the other day. Before and after Nemesis. https://www.facebook.com/share/1ETSAP4zgY/ I highly recommend checking out their Facebook page, fantastic pictures of the resort.

An interesting documentary, not sure if I agree with everything but it was interesting seeing a themepark based video, come from a different angle than what we are used to. From: https://youtu.be/TBd3KdTPciQ?si=FU-qIdciYMbX6WRL

In 2025, there is also many, many more things for people to do for a day / afternoon out, all fighting for everyones time and money. That also undoubtedly has an impact. I cannot see the place being overly rammed as a result of this, as suggested, busy yes, on some days. The offer is spread...

A fair point, quality I am yet to see however. Especially for the price point. As expected the brisket at the smokehouse in Chessington, while cheaper, looks drier than the Sahara desert, going off Google photos posted by customers.

Amarark are way off the quality of that meat too! This is a slightly unfair comparison, the price is slightly on the steep side yes, but it's not far off reality. Brisket has become more expensive recently. I paid £26 for half a pound of proper brisket recently at a UK high street...

It sold out in minutes. Literally minutes. The park are there to make money, obviously the price for this is steep, but it is completely optional. The fact it sold out in minutes suggests they could probably charged even more.

I know I am late to the party here. But really? That cant be true, maybe for parts of the country, but not Florida or California. Buildings here must stand up to the absolute peak of mother natures power, hurricanes and earthquakes. They require the very best in technology and quality to...

You did get much wetter yes, you could also get stuck in the wave pool area for a while with boats passing you, the waves are now gone and they have added side guides in the refurbishment to prevent this from happening. While on the subject, I have posted these before, but they are worth...

Yeah it is kind of similar to be fair. No both rides have never had anything like off ride shooters. What Splash Canyon did how however, just about viewable in this photo. On the building at top right of the photo, was a pipe that dropped water on riders from above. The pipe and it's housing...

Amazing photo for sure, on TS, it says the photo was marked as 1909, crazy to think the Titanic has just started construction when that picture was taken.

I absolutely love the cornish fishing village / life boat station vibe of Storm Force 10, even with what I mentioned earlier. A truly unique theme that was executed so well.

@GooseOnTheLoose really is on the loose here, as pirates are defeated in Disneyland.

I totally agree with this, as someone who is very interested in dark rides, if i could have made the date, I would have blindly purchased this without a second thought on the price.

My opinion is in there yes, but much of what I said in that post is not my opinion. It's objective. It is fact. The queue and ride has lots of things missing and not working from the past, it looks very worn in places, dusty and dirty in some of the scenery in the queue, non of that is my...

Very interesting, thanks for clarifying that.

Are we talking about the same ride here? The ride objectively looks no where near like it did in 1999. The queue line and station are a shadow of there former selves, many things missing from the original, what is there, is looking very old and tired. The animatronic is also static, all the...
