    I'm sure others with have seen/ posted this elsewhere, but it seems a room in ATH for fireworks would currently set you back more than a park view room at the Grand Helios on opening day... Source From: https://x.com/coasterclairee/status/1848682258279854503?s=19

    Opening years bingo

    For a bit of fun, I was looking through my count and realised that I've been on at least one coaster that's opened in every year since 1977 to 2024 (inclusive) except for 1981, 1986, 2020 and 2022. I should get the latter two sorted soon, but then there's a big gap down to my next oldest 1960...

    [202x] Therme Manchester | [202X] Modern Surf?

    Shame. Seems to be an issue with Peel as many of their projects on the Wirral are in a similar trajectory. They could afford to do it themselves but got to keep the profit line going up

    [202x] Therme Manchester | [202X] Modern Surf?

    Good to see this finally starting. Any news on the adjacent site? Saw an article from last December saying it was moving again but not heard since

    London Entertainment Resort: All Discussion

    Considering the poor good quality, architecture, layout and general state of what passes for most newbuild housing these days with what's currently allowed, I struggle to believe there really is too much red tape and regulations. I've a mate who used to work in planning and they were really...

    Smartphone or tablet; which mobile device type do you prefer?

    Thorpe Park: General Discussion

    Probably a good time to mention I also noticed a few holes in the fences, at least one that had been patched up with a plate of metal (in Hyperia brown of course)

    Should have no problem getting in, did the same as you a week ago (and more like 7pm) and it was fine

    The fences are really flimsy. At least once last week I heard the ops came on the pa to ask people not to lean on them

    They couldn't use the word 'cut' now considering it refers to what they do to their opening hours, ride line up and budgets

    Merlin - destined for mediocrity?

    All started going downhill for Thorpe once it stopped being themed around the fact it's an island. Saw, Swarm, especially Hyperia, all just gave up on that, even Stealth and the "hotel" made an attempt. Double down on that again and give the place an identity

    Just to keep us back talking about the Hyperia that exists and not the imagainary one with LIMs, here's my review. Over the weekend I got three rides, one at night (albeit middle row), one back and one front. And I still don't know what to make of the world's first rollercoaster where its...

    Thorpe Park: General Discussion

    If they are to get it back on though I imagine they'll be wanting to do a LOT of testing with it before guests are allowed back on, so might be easier to do that while closed, especially as if it valleyed again immediately, you can imagine...
