    Survey pointing to potential Minecraft IP?

    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...

    Alton Towers/Merlin Typos & Grammatical Errors

    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 :)!

    [2024] Nemesis Reborn: Construction and Speculation

    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.

    Ride/Park Accidents

    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...

    Ride Access Pass Systems and Disabled Access (pre 2024)

    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...

    Ride Access Pass Systems and Disabled Access (pre 2024)

    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...

    Ride Access Pass Systems and Disabled Access (pre 2024)

    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?

    The Future of Skyride

    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...

    Alton Towers Lost Media

    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...

    The Hotels: A Journey

    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.

    Watched anything good lately?

    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!

    Merlin Annual Pass

    I disagree. I think there is high demand for opening day with the anticipated reopening of Nemesis, and so they whacked it on a restricted basis to try and make more money. Not a clever move…

    Merlin Annual Pass

    Just wanted to share my recent experience of attempting to book a hotel room at Towers for Friday 15th March (night prior to opening) through Merlin Holiday Club (MHC). Spoiler alert: It resulted in the furious typing of a complaint letter. When I checked the MHC site, there were no rooms...

    Gladiators Reboot (2023)

    A thoroughly enjoyable reboot, true to the classic but with some great new additions. Loved the tidbits in the locker room, especially after hang tough! Love that we already have our new Wolf, and a “guy we love to hate because he loves himself”. I was pleased to see the contenders and...

    Watched anything good lately?

    I watched this immediately after watching the drama, and I was so pleased with how truly the show illustrates the impact on those who were affected. It made me even more furious to see the actual footage of the Chief Executive giving non-answers to parliament!! Unbelievable. Fujitsu have an...

    Potential New Universal UK Park

    Boxes are great - the U.K. climate clearly sets out the need for parks to prioritise indoor experiences. Most of, if not all, current U.K. parks can be miserable days out when we have our inevitable rainy days. Shaking around is great - the boxes all shake you in a different way and immerse...

    Potential New Universal UK Park

    Oh @DiogoJ42 your boundless pessimism never changes. Bedford is home to Cardington Studios, a well known studios where some parts of the Star Wars and Harry Potter franchises have been filmed. Air travel geeks may also recognise the air hangars as formerly housing the Airlander 10 project...

    Six Flags Quiddiya

    I have to admit I am sceptical about this. It feels RingRacer 2.0 - a great concept taken to build, but with unforeseen problems which means it doesn’t live up to the intended design. Have a look into the Ain Dubai for an example of overreaching engineering and the end result, all to say “mine...

    Six Flags and Cedar Fair to Merge

    I disagree. Both companies have strong histories and to bastardise them into one would be disrespectful to both. The Six Flags name comes from their first park and is rooted in the local history: “Throngs flocked to Six Flags Over Texas when the park opened in 1961. Six themed sections...

    Six Flags and Cedar Fair to Merge

    I read the same @Ils . Much like the SeaWorld/Busch saga, SeaWorld Entertainment is the company name but there has not been an attempt to rebrand the parks in any way, despite their operations drawing more notable similarities since the company change some years ago. I too hope that the Six...
