Blackpool Pleasure Beach: 2025 Discussion
If I'm correct, a high up at the company who runs it is an old aquintance and is an enthusiast so I wouldn't be surprised if this is and they were involved in getting it- Martin

European Coaster Poll 2024 (RESULTS)
Here is a pdf with all the league results Buchholz is indeed a way of measuring relative performance but I think you must be looking at the GD column instead of Buchholz, there's definitely no negative Buchholz scores. As a bit of an explainer for anyone who's not sure how this all works, the...- Martin

The winter closed season is almost over and half term events are just around the corner, so it's time for things to get serious. After 8 rounds of matches, the league stage has come to an end and the top 16 rides enter the knockouts! Here's the league table, sorted by points, Buchholz...- Martin

2023: The Curse at Alton Manor
Too many screens, the odd one works well but 9 times out of 10 I'd honestly prefer something static but physical, or even nothing at all- Martin

Thorpe Park: General Discussion
They shouldn't need a new gimmick to advertise it already considering the profile of the ride. I know they also can't do a Blackpool and advertise it as new for like 6 seasons either but if people have already forgotten/aren't interested in Hyperia it's purely down to their own failures...- Martin

[2025] Toxicator: New Forbidden Valley Suspended Top Spin
As a thought experiment I wonder how this would have been received if they'd have done what they should have done a decade ago, and did this immediately/soon after getting rid of Ripsaw? If they'd have done it as an "upgrade" or something? 9 years is a lot of new guests true but I was still...- Martin

Wake The Tiger?
I've got a few days in Bristol coming up with some time to kill and heard about this place called Wake The Tiger, which as far as I can tell is an interactive walk through attraction with a story. Tickets are just under £20 and you can spend as long as you want inside. Wondering if anyone else...- Martin

2025: General Discussion
If they replace Blade it won't be this year, they can't be having a big construction site in the way of their two newest rides (as well as the f&b vendors) It should be replaced for 2026 though, but I'll bet that it won't be- Martin

They're surely going to add paint or vinyl or something to it, right? They're not just leaving the arms plain black, right?- Martin

Most spurious/obscure theme park “world’s first” or record claim?
I think you should be given a pass to do that if you're a park somewhere where there's previously been little to no notable theme park industry but when it's like, US states doing it or "southern hemisphere" that's so undignified- Martin

Southport Pleasureland
I think it's probably best they rebrand the place and give it a clean break from the former Pleasureland. With the issues they've had on the pier up the road too even before what happened this summer, it seems like tourism there needs a helping hand, maybe a 'new' park will help a little bit, I...- Martin

Maybe I'm confusing it with hope but I feel really confident about this happening even if it's still a long way off from opening. I don't claim to be an expert in planning and planning law but this feels different ya know?- Martin
