    Where was the Chamber of Horrors? In the basement? I always see some fenced off stairs leading down - is that how you originally accessed it?

    Where did Spin Doctor actually go? It's misreported everywhere that one of them went to Pleasure Island and re-opened as Hydro Max - but that isn't true as Hydro Max was brand new from Fabbri and for the 2006 season co-existed with Spin Doctor.

    It has, in the exact same way Big One did (brakes failure).

    No one from the previous train should've been anywhere near the baggage hold by the time your train unloaded, the platform has to be clear for your train to roll in. The thief also had to go down the exit walkway and up the stairs which is quite a way - not exactly a quick getaway?

    A pretty reliable source is telling me Bowladrome has now been completely demolished. I guess we’ll see pics shortly if true.

    Charging loyal pass-holders £90-£99 a few weeks ago, selling season passes for only £80 today... Gulp. (Glad I waited)

    You can blame a manager's return for the early closures. One of the most complained about managers and was let go for good reason last time. Sorry to publicly shame him but he’s well known for making decisions that benefit himself rather than the park. Big One closed at 7pm, not 7:30pm like the...

    It doesn't work like that though. The park want the shortest queues possible because people standing in line aren't spending. Speedypass sales do not make up for this. They want people on a ride, off a ride as quickly as possible so they can be buying photos, drinks, food, merch etc.
