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...

Yeah, they were very problematic for a long time. They were plagued with issues. Here are a few of many safety bulletins issued by ADIPS for the ride model. https://adips.co.uk/technical-bulletins-library-dir/303-Pinfari-ZL-42-Shoulder-Restraint.pdf...

Klondike was a different coaster, I don't think it was the Python, even though they were basically identical. The story is quite interesting actually. Pinfari had a huge amount of metal fatigue issues with the early ZL42 ride models and Python was number 2 off the production line. Everything...

It makes sense, as it could be potentially bankrupting for a company to manufacture a multi million pound piece of machinery for it then not to be purchased, it has happened in the past. So I can see why companies would want such securities.

This is the official specification sheet I have for the pumps on River Rapids at Drayton Manor. They are almost identical in specification to the pumps on Alton's Congo River Rapids, I would expect they are the same for Thorpes Rapids too. Seeing as all three have very similar flow rates...

Well, it seems to have partly been written by the Tussauds Group in the early 1990's to be fair. I joke of course. To be fair, I am looking forward to trying this, regardless of the marketing. I have never ridden a giant topspin, so this excites me somewhat.

I'll be sure to take a look next time I ride. I do love the name "Bass Cannon" I must admit. It has a certain ring to it that I love. "Lad's, lets get the bass cannons out". 😂 I can see why they would use them especially in large places like Tomb Blaster, Hex's Octagon and NI's Station, because...

So was this uncovered during 'routine' excavation works? Do they know where it came from? Or does nobody know? Are they going to pin a snake down with lot's of steel? So many questions.

I am not sure exactly how this works, but would it be cuts to the operating budget? Or budgeting their budget to spread it out better for the upcoming Fright Nights, which no doubt requires a fair bit of some sort of budget to put on in the first place. I am not sure if the operating budget and...

Interesting, so there were more than just the ones in Nemesis Inferno then! I always thought there must be, just could never work out precisely where.

When visiting the other week (23rd I believe) the Skyride kept stopping and starting almost constantly. Now I know the ride usually stops and starts to let disabled guests on and off, but this was stopping again and again. A single gondola was not making it through the central station without at...

Apologies if this has been posted before but it was a good watch which provided a decent look at the park back in 2005. From: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6K2YdhjMyoU Narrated by the man who narrates Hex, this video provided a good time capsule look at the park back in 2005. It takes an...

At Alton Towers, no, nothing I am aware of. They may have been used but out of sight to be fair in places such as Hex. Although I *do not think* that was the case. Nemesis Inferno's station had and has them at Thorpe Park, although not used anymore. They were used as part of the rides long gone...

The most heavy bass parts in TCAAM come from the 'demonic spirits' scene of the layout below. The path to FV essentially goes along the bottom of that picture from left to right, so you would more than likely hear the bass from that scene on that path. Oblivion station used Bose 802's and it...

I put my remote control in the fridge the other day. Then spent the next 45 minutes.......45 MINUITES turning the house upside down looking for it!!!! It was not until I gave up, admitted defeat and went to make a brew that I realised my mistake as I grabbed the milk. I was convinced there...

We did not no. I was not too fussed (even though I have not rode it yet) my son was dead against it (he is only 11). He also would not do The Smiler due to him perceiving it as scary due to having 14 inversions. I tried to reason with him that his maths were not mathing after having done...
