Disney kept an entire waterpark closed for the last four years, 2025 is the first summer they have had both Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon open since the pandemic. Universal have two shows SBNO (Sinbad at IoA, Fear Factor at USF) and Poseidon's Fury is SBNO. It is unlikely these will re-open...

This is assuming they offer annual passes in year one. They aren't currently offering any passes with Epic Universe.

They got replaced again in the 2024 refurb.

Yep I love that I’ve barely used the car in the last few weeks, I am 12 minutes walk to a full size Sainsbury’s, 15 to the doctor and dentist, 15 minutes to our town centre shops and multiple pubs. Don’t like all the new estates without even a corner shop on them.

This is my issue with Busch really, it’s got plenty of coasters and the animals, but not a lot else. They don’t consistently offer shows and there aren’t any dark rides. Bit like Alton Towers in a way that it’s too coaster heavy but at least AT has dark rides.

What did they say when you sent them back?

Your original point was "they’d rather do anything than think about improving the theme parks they already have." Not sure how TripAdvisor is a metric of this? Would probably get much better reviews by cutting the food prices by a third but that doesn't really "improve the park" just lower the...

Although I broadly agree, the wait time will be an issue we still need to have the jobs available for people to take them. If there is an excess of work available that people already holding the right to work aren’t taking up then immigrants are a good option.

I would assume this is for the Mutiny Bay Courtyard for the Scarefest shows that are already confirmed.

and if the park is quiet then fasttrack is barely worth it anyway! i'm guessing no Oktoberfest is making the park quieter

My guess is if it externally hosted then it is that site’s problem if it is an issue. TS aren’t then hosting problematic content, just linking to it and the link can easily be removed.

Yes the first one didn't work (it seems Imgur don't like direct linking) which is why I edited and added the Imgur post and the second image hotlink as an example too. Before the forum allowed uploading of images I used to use this a few times.

Use insert image on the tool bar and you can link to images. Imgur doesn't like embed linking to images though, so use this link From: https://imgur.com/RxAmtm3 For sites that will allow hotlinking it works though, such as this image from a BBC News story.

I don't think we are accomodating everyone? Given per head we take the seventeenth largest intake compared to other EU countries. "Compared with other European countries, the UK received the fifth largest number of asylum seekers in 2024 (108,138) and the seventeenth largest intake when...

Pakistan had a war earlier this year which likely is driving people to come here, especially as they probably already have family here who likely settled in the UK 50 years ago. They are generally coming on a visa and then claiming asylum after. But again given the number of migrants that came...

Do you have proof we are giving asylum to those from "safe" countries? On what measure are we a soft touch? Can you provide a comparison with other countries to prove we are softer?

Because the sort of people who would take the bounty would actually be trying to murder them not just leave them in France, they would destroy the boat and watch the occupants drown.

Fewer people buy alcohol-free drinks so less economy of scale, a lot of people having non-alcoholic will just have Diet Coke etc. I don't see the beer producers dropping the price of NA beer down to similar prices to soft drinks. Also the cost of the staff to pour the drink, the heating...

£7.50 is fairly normal in London, now even in a paper cup. So I assume Alton Towers expects the same “tourist” prices. I agree that £4.50 isn’t a great price for a pasty either!

It’s the Towers Street Instagram account. A pint of beer (maybe cider) and a pie (but pictured is a pasty) is £12 from the Courtyard bar. Is Facebook working better? https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BHPRcGNAo/
