It would be great to see a flume or water ride in the park that's ‘adjustable’ to operate all seasons. I wouldn't be against the rapids being removed in favour of a water ride utilising the same space (given the number of staff required to operate it now, as well as all the H&S measures).

Danter has kept interest in Barry, but as above, it really is a shadow of its former self. The whole place feels very cheaply done, and it's literally flats dumped on top of the tarmac, a far cry from the themed rides made in the 90s. As someone who lives in Wales, 20 minutes away from Cardiff...

As I've said before, even vouchers would be fine as compensation. This also benefits Towers. Guests are appeased with a voucher giving them money off food/drink/merch, Alton Towers gets extra money from these guests' extra spending.

I don't mind the music (the volume is a bit loud in places), but that queue is hell, and I think it’s feasible to re-route it so it's not as unbearable.

If Project Horizon is a coaster, I think that ticks two boxes: it would be a large coaster after a long gap (since Wicker Man) and an indoor ride (Towers needs more indoor attractions). They need to address flat rides quickly, and I would like to see two built in the same year. While...

To be fair to Towers, they've done a good job with general repairs and painting across the park this closed season. You shouldn't be surprised by this, but here we are. Hopefully, they can keep it up.

It looks like there's a new bar in the Mutiny Bay courtyard. Pictures from Theme Park Guide Live. and bubble tea now also on offer.

Trying to connect to the Wi-Fi/use mobile data in Woodcutters last year for mobile orders was a right pain, so these tablets are welcome. I like the name/rebrand. RCR also seems to have had a menu shakeup. Looks like there has been an attempt to improve food offerings which is great to see.

The two RAP entrances merge together with a ride host positioned at the bottom of the stairs/lift access area. Once Fastrack is in place I imagine one queue will be Fastrack and the other RAP, with the host remaining at the bottom of the stairs/lift area to guide guests where to go.

I'm assuming there's no Fastrack on offer currently? When they make it available then one of those RAP signs will change to Fastrack.

I wonder whether the SRQ has not been added to aid in filling odd gaps and make the ride more inclusive to more guests (e.g. families with a parent who wants to ride solo). It could be the case that they will always use X number of single riders per cycle depending on queue length, not too...

The theme park/fun fair (whatever you want to call it) side of Flambards has been a dive since the late 90s. The museum part of it (Victorian Village, The Blitz walkthrough, RAF exhibition, Concorde, and other miscellaneous stuff) has always been great. I went in 2018/19/21, and we only ever did...

That's amazing news. As someone who has always loved the Flambards exhibitions, I'm really glad the Victoria Village has been salvaged. It's a wonderful collection, so seeing it used at a different UK attraction will be nice.

I wonder how they will manage queues and crowds, given that the entrance is right next to the tunnel and shop. On opening day and busy days, the queues will no doubt be spilling out of the entrance. It all looks OK. I'm personally not a fan of the dirty concrete theme. It's themed well (just...

£50 each and collection only on opening day?! 🫠

Looking on the app, every ride says closed except Toxicator, which has a opening time of 2pm to 9pm listed. There is obviously a staff preview or other sort of event going on tonight. The app shows opening times on the day. We won't know actual operating times for Toxicator until Saturday.

As this project ramps up, the general public will become increasingly interested, and many will likely try to visit the site. I agree with Goose that this fencing appears to be more of a security measure to prevent people from entering the land. It seems that the public footpath is still open...

I can't seem to embed the Facebook post. The pictures are below, credit goes to Jamie Finn. Click here for the link to the post on Facebook.

My point in comparison was more in light of where Oakwood and Folly Farm are positioned in a tourist hotspot. If you're a family on holiday in the area, Folly Farm is (was) better value for money than Oakwood. My partner and I had a holiday in Tenby two years ago, and as two adults, we decided...

I've seen people campaigning online for the UK entry song to be revoked for the word 'hell' (in reaction to the kant drama). But hey, what's Eurovision without a bit of drama and controversy!
