Elon Musk and by extension, the human race, will have colonised Mars before this railway line re opens. Mark. My. Words.

I feel the idea or even the notion of building the line as a heritage railway to serve a major theme park is just flawed from the start too. People will take the train for convenience, it wont be convenient if there are multiple connections due to swapping from Network Rail to heratige lines...

I heard they are including her hair filled bathroom sink plug too in one exhibit.

How will they advertise the new indoor seating that is included for FREE in the new £25 non rider pass if they do that?

The same argument could be made for places such as New York ir New England. After a while the word new in these names stop meaning literal new and just become part of the name.

I would imagine the height limits are set by their insurance companies.

I might just write a python script that continuelsy asks GPT to draw photos, as fast as possible and leave it running. Do my bit for the environment. I might even get all the generative AI's running.

No need to be sorry mate. I was just curious thats all...😀

Goosey is getting all ready for scarefest.... Is that a ghost or is that a goose?! 🤔

Don't forget the fact that turning the ride on would also electrify the bus bar that provides power to the cars. Anyone in the ride area could be at risk of death by electrocution if they believe the ride to be switched off. I know bus bars are usually partially insulated, but they still provide...

What is your basis for concluding that the ride seems to be really popular with guests? Do you have specific data or information, or is it based on usual rather long queue times. The latter being an important factor because of mentioned technical difficulties meaning the ride is very often on...

You see everyone I knew thought the exact opposite. Maybe it was the age range, as we were young teenagers at the time? In any case, it was a hit for the park in the first seasons as it hugely boosted park attendance. It did exactly what it was designed to do in that respect and bring people to...

Tell me you never went to Alton Towers in 2002 without telling me...air was a HUGE success. The marketing for the ride was massive too, one of the biggest campaigns, the ride was all over TV, newspapers and even breakfast cereal. For a good time after opening, air always had the biggest queues...

Erm What? The staff deserve better???! What about the paying customer!

So true, I remember Pirate Adventure at Drayton, the whole thing was pretty much made of OSB chipboard. As soon as you walked off stage so to speak, it was all just bare and unpainted as you would see in on the shelf in B&Q.

If you like those, davelandweb has some cool photos of POTC from May of 1991. More than what I post below. The website doesnt caption the photos, I am pretty familiar with the ins and outs of the ride, so ill do my best to caption the photos from said website below. As is normal during...

I'm not sure about that point. Gerst are the manufacturers, they dont put the ride together. As is the same with any coaster. It will be assembled by a competent UK contractor. It will be just as easy for said contractor, to take parts of the ride down and put it back together, exactly how they...

To be pedantic, it is not really a re tracking, just a diversion.

I very much doubt it, unfortunately.

I think there is the lift block, then the pre lift block. First car is on the lift block, second is on the pre lift block.
