They used to be merged into one another. I can remember doing Terror Of The Towers many times on firework nights at the park, back in the early 2000's.

Probsbly for communications to be fair. But I am not sure.

Sorry you confused me...some of them are not what?? It has been a long day today....😂

I dont buy that as the root cause. B&Ms dive machines are taller, wider and much heavier relative to the track than a Euro Fighter. They are very smooth.

This looks incredible. Get me on that plane! Pun intended.

It was not an opinion it was a widely known fact. After the accident where a train slipped backwards off the lifthill, the ride would shut at the first hint of precipitation This remained the case for at least a season afterwards. Good to hear it is back to running normally now though. Edit...

Anyone that is into the history of CWOA, I highly recommend checking this page out on Facebook. It is not my page but it has amazing photos from the very early days of when the place was just a zoo with funfair, with construction photos of things like Dragon River, the Mine Train and The Fifth...

Going back to the boat ride testing for a moment, Disney must have their reasons for needing to test what they need to test, on site. WDI is arguably up there with the very best in ride manufacturers on the planet. While they may not build all the physical hardware themselves, they very much...

There are some good points put across in this discussion to be fair. Got me thinking. In one way, as is, Alton Towers is worth the money for what they offer. If they could sort out their opening hours, availability and food, I would say it would be too cheap, for sure. If the themepark was...

No.. the park has been in a steady and consistent decline for the last 2 decades, yet the gate price has risen. Therefor, it is pretty clear that an increase in gate prices would be just that, an increase in gate price. The park would probably not improve because of that.

This one I disagree with. Because the theming, story and scenes are specifically what make the ride. The ride would not be anything like it is now if it was just the transit system going through a bare / empty warehouse. Just like how Disney's Pirates would not be the same ride if there was no...

I guess so yeah. But I was marketed heavily and marketed as a new thrill experience. It is a difficult one to be fair, but you are sort of correct.

Since 2023, we have had the following additions for specific demographics; 2023 - Family addition with TCAAM. 2024 - Thrill addition with Nemesis Reborn. 2025 - Thrill addition with Toxicator. 2026 - Young children's addition with this CBeebies themed coaster. Given the above, I would be...

Here is the safety bulletin issued after the accident. Issued by MACK rides. Going in to the exact details of what parks and operators of the model need to inspect on the rides immediately, to ensure a similar accident does not repeat itself, or is close to repeating itself on another operating...

Going back to this a second, with Alton Towers, they used to turn all four pumps on to bring the water level up quickly, I have seen them do the same at Drayton's too. Once the water level is up, roughly after 4 or 5 mins, one pump is turned off. So for maybe 5 minutes, these old Intamin rapids...

The best known to man, although I am not sure on the recent change from mayonnaise and salsa to supercharger sauce. Still a decent burger, but it was a downgrade for sure. Would love to see these back at towers, it will never happen though.

I used to love a succulent Zinger Tower Burger, followed by a Dairy Milk McFlurry whilst enjoying the views on Skyride. The branded outlets were peak catering at the park I think, you generally knew what you were getting, at high street prices. Sure, it was fast food, but for the most time...

A waste how exactly? What exactly is the waste? There could be a lead time of a few years on the other attractions for all we know. Generally there is with rides.

Fair points made here however... I have never once stated that I thought this request was reasonable or that it is reasonable to accommodate it. So why is that being assumed? I have mearly said I will request it, I mean, while it is unreasonable to assume they could reasonably accommodate...

I really, really want a go on Nemesis, front row. My 11 year old son, who's favourite coaster as of last month is also Nemesis, needs to experience it too. One of the best rides to ride front row. I have always thought the front row on that ride is massively better than any other row on what is...
