Even if Gangsta Granny remains as an individual attraction, I think it would be OK with a few different attractions in the area as long as they all feel well-finished. Could have space coaster, boat ride, 4D show, carousel and Gangsta Granny ride all in the area with no overall "land".

As in the Facebook post, they just took the pictures from here https://gallery.towersalmanac.com/index.php?cat=23

Also they kinda have one of those in Thirteen.

A large part of the fun of riding Space Mountain is barely being able to see whats coming up! Disney seem to have the balance right, just enough lighting to support the ride but dark enough to be really fun

Although the story on Space Mountain is pretty much "you are in space". Although I generally agree they need planned-out lighting or similar at least. The Black Hole was pretty good but was more of a coaster with disco lights compared to a coaster in space.

I was curious if it was the online price or the old "on the day" price they used to use for the 2for1s. It is the online price that is discounted, but not always by 50%. "This offer gives 10-50% off on up to 4 Online Advance priced entry tickets, from 1st July 2025 until 30th June 2026 at...

I think they did get a reasonable number of people booking a spa break (like you would at a lot of hotels) in the winter when the park was closed. Likely not enough people more recently (especially as energy costs have gone up a lot). But that was one of the ideas of having the spa, to try and...

Although in terms of spa facilities the Alton Towers thermal spa was one one of the cheaper places I think. When it closed it was £40/45 for the three hour session (£30/35 back in 2020) which was quite competitively priced I think and there was often good package prices (like the Rasul mud...

We did it in 2022 and it was adequate. Smoked meats at Seaworld were fine and the Chinese food at Busch was like a ready meal quality but not inedible. Nice thing about the inclusive meal plan was just being able to grab drinks and snacks a few times, stopping for a soda and a cake or similar...

A longer section of the quote from the spokesperson “This was a difficult decision but one we feel is essential for the future growth and development of the Resort” They didn’t close it to redevelop the spa, it’s purely because the running costs were too high and they wanted to reallocate that...

Do you have a link stating that was the reason? I thought they did just close down.

I think they did it in the back of the gardens as a summer thing once. Definitely they filled the gardens with stuff for some Christmas events, like dodgems.

Yep I think a lot of this is where the discussions around whehter Hydro etc were good investments as they were likely more than the park could afford.

Although currently only a saving of £3 on some days (£37+38) and no saving at all if you go on one of the £34 Fridays. I expect ticket prices will go up closer to the day though!

Yet Brexit is never able to solve that really. Yes it stopped the Polish and similar EU immigration, but leaving the EU won't make any difference to immigration from outside the EU. Farage spoke mainly about Romanians I think and people assumed it would stop everyone coming.

I know some people have said the Trail of the King's area is going away and the gorillas don't have a large enough enclosure, but I haven't seen mention of the wanyama and Zufari areas changing.

Do you have a link showing Chessington aren’t engaging in breeding programs? As far as I knew they are linked with other zoos for that sort of purpose.

Surveys done by AT have indicated the vast majority of people go for the night rides. But also its been that way for around ten years I think where the high-scares are paid for mazes. This is due to a combination of things. The mazes being low capacity so when they were free the queue was hours...

Do we know with certainty that a scare zone isn't returning? Text on the website states "Take a returning fan favourite, more terrifying than ever! And prepare for two all-new scare experiences for 2025, dare to enter… if you think you can escape." But the booking states "Altonville Mine Tours...

What is Merlin Tussards and Merlin Lego? Merlin Entertainments has previously been owned by Blackstone, who then bought ownership of the Legoland parks and Kirkbi got a share in Merlin. Then Merlin merged with Tussauds Group so Dubai Investment Capital got a stake as they were the previous...
