Drayton Manor Park
They'll probably just get new names and skins, I wouldn't imagine full scare rethemes or we'd have probably heard about it already.- JAperson

Blackpool Pleasure Beach: 2023 Discussion
No it doesn't, firstly it's spent a hundred years with a system that almost everyone expects of a pleasure beach style park. But secondarly and more importantly is this silly ticket system, if it's one price to get in why do you need to scan your phone at every ride? Why do they need a picture...- JAperson

Blackpool Pleasure Beach: 2023 Discussion
Yes it is important, this isn't about this story in particular, they lost lots of money and unless they want to keep loosing money then they need to make some changes. Allowing entry passes and then having places to eat/drink/be entertained on park makes a lot of sense for pleasure in its...- JAperson

Blackpool Pleasure Beach: 2023 Discussion
Pleasure beach definatley should return to there pre covid ticketing system or something that is an improvement on it. Scanning your phone at every ride is just a pain and having a walk around pass is a great idea for them for reasons @Matt N has talked about around how the park is perceived. If...- JAperson

Veganuary (and beyond?) 2024
I know some Starbucks at least do charge for different sorts of milk, like oat milk, one of my friends can't have dairy and they always charge them extra for the milk.- JAperson

Southport Pleasureland
They never made any announcements about the coaster massively publiced, it was simply a planning application, we don't know what stopped them building it or anything.- JAperson

Southport Pleasureland
I think it's more a case of them trying and failing. Clearly they just don't have the funding, and when they think they've secured some they drop out. Whether it's viable to expand Southport or not I don't know but I'm glad that at least one small park is trying to do something, at least got...- JAperson

Drayton Manor Park
This seems like a decent option, I am aware that Wicked has booster seats so that smaller kids can ride I wonder if this might be an option as that would fit Draytons target audience well?- JAperson

Welcome Evie, pleasure to see a new member who's been browsing for so long. I do wonder though, how come it took you so many months to make an account if you don't mind me asking?- JAperson

2023: General Discussion
I suspect with this on the cards and looking in comparison to most projects of its sort they'll already be having meetings to figure out investment strategies to compete, this is most relevant at Towers, but they are ahead of the game on one thing and that's that they already have an operating...- JAperson

TowersStreet Planet Coaster Speed Build Contest 2023/24: Winners Declared (contest ended 16th March)
A @Thameslink Rail submission to the coaster challenge with a (sort of) break run? I'm shocked! Anyway my apologies @Matt N but I don't think I've got the time to be part of the coaster building challenge this year (I know I signed up last year and then didn't submit anything) but I'm just far...- JAperson

UK Film & TV Industry
There British films, if they are filmed in the UK and the majority of the crew is British then they are British. A little like Harrods isn't owned by a British company but it's still British or anything similar where the parent company is foreign but the company operates nationally.- JAperson

Universal GB - Archived Pre Announcement Discussion
This is very interesting so I wanted to run through my thoughts on it. Firstly I agree with @Leigh that it's well connected and a good location, close enough to London to get the London visitors but far enough out that land and costs are nowhere near as bad. Do I think it's likely to end up as...- JAperson

Drayton Manor Park
Nice to see track on site, I wonder if we will see only single spine track or whether some sections will have the bigger Intamin track. Either way I don't mind the colour of the track it's not bad at all I don't think.- JAperson

Alton Towers Dark Themes, time for a change?
My thoughts on this are that I think they perhaps need a family orientated coaster with a less dark theme but I don't see a major problem with it. I don't see them changing there stance on theming too much because they need to be able to market these new attractions, and there most successful...- JAperson

Thorpe Park: General Discussion
I doubt that if they are ending one contract with Sega they are about to start a new one. I imagine they'll do an in house cheap retheme and leave it at that. I wouldn't expect anything too well themed or expensive. Especially with them opening an incredibly expensive coaster the same year.- JAperson

What are your thoughts on the introduction of 20mph speed limits in built-up areas?
This is because of a multitude of international agreements, agreeing to let the small number of people who want to drive temporarily in another country be allowed to do so. It's sort of to save the effort, I imagine a calculation was done and it was decided that the risk outweighed how...- JAperson
