Forum Quick Questions
Weirdly in private mode on Firefox when it happens it just tries loading the page then gives up and remains on the current page, rather than redirecting to the 'can't load this page' page. I've just tried Edge and that doesn't seem to be suffering the issue at all- Martin

What are you listening to?
It's still awards season so thought I'd share my 2024 albums list. I tried to listen to at least one 2024 release a week (not necassarily as it came out but at some point through the year) and I managed a fair few more, although there was still a few I never got round to despite wanting to...- Martin

Local Government Reforms - How could this affect Alton Towers?
If the Districts are abolished and covered by a single UA I'd imagine the UA will just inherit any localised planning restrictions, although perhaps any changes will become easier or harder depending on the political makeup of the larger authority compared to what it is currently. Perhaps the...- Martin

Forum Quick Questions
I'm getting a lot of 'This page could not be loaded' on Firefox - almost constant. Hitting the reload button then takes me to whichever page I was after straight away. No other site is having this issue and it's fine on mobile so for once it's probably not me.- Martin

2025: General Discussion
I don't think a chain like Nando's would work there, I think visitors would be more likely to go to one of those on the way home. I personally think a higher end restaurant could work at Towers Street - something to make your way there for, that you can't get anywhere else on the park and...- Martin

[20XX] Puy du Fou UK
Are you really? Lots of things can be interpreted as fascist propaganda, either because they were intended to be seen that way, or misinterpreted because it's clumsy, or deliberately misinterpreted or embraced by fascists in spite of the orginal intent (Starship Troopers and Helldivers are two...- Martin

Universal GB - Archived Pre Announcement Discussion
With LotR I'd put money on if you polled every Deano in the land it would come out on top as the favourite film/series of British 'normies'. If any film themed land would get people flocking there's not many more certain.- Martin

What are you listening to?
Been really enjoying the new songs from Lucy Dacus, especially the two with music videos. Nothing earth shattering and not exactly a big change up for her but just really sweet and nice to listen to. Looking forward to the new album. From: https://youtu.be/pcW_-uxy6dQ?si=dy2bH_-e4GZO2pUv...- Martin

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

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
