I imagine they were going to do both anyway, Toxicator is part of a reimagined version of a classic forbidden valley, which obviously used to have Ripsaw.

Especially as James Mellors has specially mentioned energy being a key operational cost, that will limit investment. Infrastructure investment like this ertainly isn't great marketable wise, but it's essential if they truly want to grow the park significantly. Interestingly, Mellors mentioned...

Cadbury is run by a terrible American food maker who packs all of their food with rubbish, I assume that has an impact, they buy the ingredients in bulk for all there brands I'm guessing? Honestly just waiting for the day somebody decides to buy Cadburys and make proper use an a world known...

B&M hyper in the car park, ideal! built a multi story and lets have the Dairymilkmodium (totally not borrowed from Hersey, who make worse chocolate but better attractions by the look of it). I visited a while back and it certainly wasn't as good as it was when I was younger, however I did enjoy...

Well yes, Six Flags went bust once before for over investing, it seems they feel the impulsive need to invest big all the time. I suppose though, in this instance it could well be aruged as necessary, having just closed what was the worlds tallest coaster for a long time, and it would have been...

Six Flags over car parks opening 2027. They seem to have no regard for how much they spend on individual coasters. Most other chains would go nowhere near this sort of thing, not just for the building cost, but also this is surely going to be maintenance resources intensive.

See our school liked the wet paper towel except it was actually a bunch of screwed up incredibly cheap toilet roll. Well I say toilet roll, I'm not sure it contained enough actual material to be considered toilet roll, not just that cheap stuff that felt like sand paper, it was the worst toilet...

Although did it actually work is the trouble? I'm sure I read somewhere that guest attendance had gone down in the year of Hyperia's opening. I'm sure they are making a killing on fastrack, and I do reckon in at some point we will see back facing seats on the back of Hyperia (or spinning ones -...

It looks absolutely shocking, worse than I was expecting, particularly on their business website. It's not even in blue on there. Looks like a cross between a Canva logo and a dairy product brand, certainly not a magical attractions company. For reference: https://www.merlinentertainments.biz/

I like this idea, and agree it could be very marketable. I think you are right though that the next major investment will be family thrill, and I agree that's probably the right direction. I do think however the next investment after that needs to be thrill, so that they can keep across both...

I don't think they have retired but either way, I'm sure their service quality is still excellent, and despite some reports of 'rattles' with new B&M's I'm sure they'll figure out what it is, and get it sorted, as it's not great for their incredibly good reputation of smooth rides. Nemesis...

They do already have a big people eating boat ride just sat there, get that back open would be a start, although it is probably a maintenance pain due to its age. This would potentially be a good shout, scrap the buyout days and do this instead. Means they have longer to get other rides ready...

I get what your saying, but not really, wing coasters have you exposed, nothing beneath you or above you, making you feel entirely exposed, that sensation is not given by Oblivion, it doesn't even have floorless trains like lots of newer dives. I think it was more that Wardley wanted to create...

Or maybe it's hiring a new global head of FasTracks who doesn't have operational knowledge of each park.

It's very much not, It's B&M's modern take on a stand up coaster, the 'seats' move slightly and they're launched (although I'm sure they'd sell you a lift hill version if you really wanted one). Only one currently open is Pipeline at SeaWorld Orlando. RCDB: https://rcdb.com/20042.htm Towers...

I do think its a very Merlin investment, and your right that if it were to be conventionally surf themed Thorpe would make more sense, however I think there's a lot of unused potential theming wise. Whether it's space themed and your travelling on some kind of space travel device or it's...

My guess is they will try something at least somewhat unique, not just because its good marketing wise but also will help Mack sell another spinning coaster product, which seems to be big business for them.

Don't worry new Fastrack head has a plan, staff can now pay 30 quid to get into work early 'avoiding the queues at the canteen and car park!' 😂

Fair enough, but I still don't believe that they would be doing unimportant tunnel works, because the lift hill motor has gone, wouldn't you have done that before you'd opened the ride. I reckon it is an issue in the tunnel, but as you've pointed out, that doesn't necessarily indicate its a...

Merlin's business model is somewhat odd, and I agree that some of the issues they face are not their issue. Some of their expansion choices were sensible although they perhaps went too quick, and focused way to much on just the Legoland brand, seeming to want to open one absolutely everywhere. I...
