Ahhh that classic moment where cross language sponsorship works wonders… https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rimac_Nevera And from Rimac directly relating to Voltron: https://www.rimac-newsroom.com/press-releases/rimac-automobili/new-voltron-nevera-powered-by-rimac-ride-opens-at-europa-park

I’m trying to wrack my brains about this but my ride in June 2023 was entirely uneventful… I assume you mean when you hit the water, which acts as the brakes after the final section & drop, that’s when it happened? Please do get checked out for any underlying injuries!

Genuinely a bit sad I will be at Walibi with @Rob as have a Paultons visit pencilled in for this year! I have a friend who is not an enthusiast and we are certain that Paultons is the perfect park for her. Sad to miss the event, but am looking forward to a visit during 2024 for sure :). Its...

The logistics of getting to Alton Towers from the proposed site are not easily feasible, unless they’re hardcore fans who are willing to traverse the country on shocking public transport links or hire a car and brave the narrow roads through rural Staffordshire. While Thorpe & Chessington may...

A very interesting and insightful set of information in these new documents. I am concerned that the road network impact hasn’t been realistically looked at. I live a 45-60 minute drive away (traffic dependant) in a straight line, north-east of the site. Currently, to get there by train, as...

Fabulous to see a little on-the-spot engineering work finally pay off! I wonder if it might have been the way the wind was blowing, but I thought the whole thing sounded loud... Though my memory does not serve me well and so I can't confidently recall what it sounded like before!

Oh absolutely. After 20+ years of being an enthusiast, I’m aware of anti rollbacks. I’ve thankfully felt a few of them during lift stops on many coasters! ^^^^ this. It may have been easier to bodge a disengage fix on the anti rollbacks rather than saw apart the catwalk with the train in-situ...

Sorry. Can someone elaborate? Is this an in joke? Hmm… 🤔 (joking - mine is bigger than ya’lls) Ahem. Any news on the unexpected item stuck on lifthill? My working assumption given the reported in-situ engineering works is that the lift chain can’t just be popped into reverse to get the train...

A little late to the party with my thoughts, but I visited last Monday 18th March and took a punt on Rollercoaster Restaurant for lunch. I ordered the Hunters chicken and chips and was really happy with what I received. The portion size was large, the quality was high, and it was hot. Given...

While I recognise that the survey company have made a request to the original poster to remove the information they shared, I acknowledge that this has been in the public domain for over a week. It is likely that the information has been duplicated, saved and/or shared elsewhere. There is little...

I wonder if this is descending into an AI discussion rather than an ATR / Merlin typo and grammatical error thread...? Happy for you all to move this into Corner Coffee if you would like :)!

Is this the first confirmation of availability for opening day? If so, I am pleased this will quieten the X / Twitter fandom with their incessant shouting about having booked accommodation and not knowing if it will open or not. It was painful to see.

Having looked back at the news reports from 2022 it looks like the “wobbling” of the car was reported by other riders. Source: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-63367245.amp Any possible derailment, or failing between the seat and chassis, would have been identified during the investigation...

And I think that might nicely round off the discussion? I genuinely am sorry to hear of the challenges that planning a trip has brought around, and that you’re feeling quite aggrieved by the lack of support you’re receiving. Nobody is saying it’s right, we all hear your experience. Here’s...

Thanks for providing the information. I am not surprised to learn there’s a security deposit that’s refundable, but the £25 charge on top is something I hadn’t expected. There will be a cost to the business for purchase, maintenance and possible insurances related to having them, which would...

Can I just check if this is a security deposit that you get back when the scooter is returned, or is it a charge that is non-refundable?

Having read the last few pages, a number of reports, and the legislation itself, I wonder if I might offer a few thoughts? Warning: long post that covers many subjects...! Rob, I recognise that the time the Skyride has been unavailable has had a significant impact on you, and it continues to...

Some of the TS team & members had supervised access to the archives in 2011/12 (it was so long ago I have forgotten exactly when!). We managed to find the original SW plans, and I was absolutely fascinated by some pristine condition Battersea Project concept artwork that was there. An...

No booking system can make up its own rule about not giving discounts on a certain date - that is decided by a human (or group of) and told to the booking system. Smells like greed and corporate goalpost changes to me.

Edge of my seat in some of those round tables. It’s so easy to sit and scream at the tele but I am not so sure I could do it!
