    Merlin Entertainments: General Discussion

    The Merlin parks will survive Universal opening. There will still be a price difference between them and they will offer different things.

    Disneyland Paris: General Discussion

    Although Frozen is just the slow moving boat ride really, its completely different to a log flume.

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

    The existence of "old restrictions" is questionable anyway. I think @Squiggs has said before that there isn't actually any hard set rules, just general guidance. Its possible that AT could ask for planning permission for a coaster taller than the treeline and it be permitted in the right part of...

    Strange questions that sometimes need answering (or not asking in the first place really).

    There is probably quite a lot of this sort of thing that vloggers and similar should be doing and likely don't.

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

    You could close off the northwest side of the area now anyway to redevelop the theatre and Nickelodeon and still have Gangsta Granny operating.

    How often would you replace a phone or tablet?

    Relatively speaking Apple aren't too bad overall for this, I don't think they plan obsolescence for their devices but will stop the updates when features move on that phone can't support. iOS 18 last year (2024) will run on iPhone XS released in 2018 so six years of software updates and at least...

    The Future of Dark Forest

    I wouldn't directly go for chained oak but a chair-o-planes like a Whomping Willow (changed enough not to get the Harry Potter lawyers) would be a decent fit. Technically the ride already has the chains so fits with the chained oak too really. Co-pilot made it a bit too angry but this is the...

    How often would you replace a phone or tablet?

    I chose five years in the poll, but think I've generally changed my iphone around every four years now. Recently went from 12 pro to 16 pro. I did replace the battery on the 12 after just over two years, but I used the phone quite a lot. Could probably have kept the 12 Pro a little longer and...

    Quick Questions

    Not as busy as everyone expects. Because people think it’s busy they stay away and also most annual passes are blocked.

    Scarefest 2025

    I'd be almost certain the scare zone would be the path along the edge of Dark Forest above the gardens https://maps.app.goo.gl/CCnTT2yxBssCRmMu5

    TST Film Review Thread

    Although I think there was some statements in the Lego Movie too, mainly that glue is a bad thing I think but overall there was some major messaging around kids, play, distracted parents and glue.

    Dr Who wasn’t sold to Disney. Just a deal for co-production

    The storage nets are quite common in Disneyworld too.

    Looping Group- General Discussion

    Add in WMSP and you can complete a loop of driving round the West Midlands conurbation to the three attractions!

    Oakwood Discussion

    There is already the toboggans as well. Could make a nice small adventure themed thing if they go back to that sort of thing, add some Go Ape type high ropes too.

    Drayton Manor Park

    Being discussed in the Looping thread https://towersstreet.com/talk/threads/looping-group-general-discussion.6219/post-520419 But I do see this might mean they start considering a Merlin style annual pass now with four attractions in the UK. Definitly scope at least for a midlands combo ticket...

    Have you seen the pictures of Pleasurewood Hills? That doesn't exactly look tidy.

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

    And of course the ATH expansion did go ahead in the end, just as CBeebies Hotel in the end.
