More I see if the track coming together more im loving the paint job

Supports normally have to be first 😉

So much hate for the veins on the track. Personally I think once the track is all in place and you can see the veins connected across the entire track it’ll look really good plus it’s unique, much prefer it to some rusty grey effect. The closeups on the video look like there’s a lot of detail...

I’m reality we love our blivvy, but how much life does oblivion really have left in it now it’s 25 years old? I cannot see AT/Merlin paying out for a retrack like Nemesis. Unlike Nemesis which people love for its overall ride experience, Oblivion is just the drop. After 25/30 years the worlds...

I’ve been out the loop for a long time … what was the reasoning behind the removal of gforce and apocalypse? Two huge thrill rides in their lineup removed from an already limited lineup. Understandable if it was a maintenance issue but big losses nonetheless.

Farage used to have his own show on LBC! I don't agree that Farage is an "extreme" right winger. Eitherway, I wouldn't fall out with the exteme ends of either political spectrum being on LBC, it would make for a laugh as it does when they the extreme callers on!

Think it's quite obvious AT are not interested in replacing flat rides anymore - when was the last thrill flat installed permantly? Submission in 2001? Guess you could argue SubTerra? They're probably eyeing that corner where enterprise and submission were for a future rollercoaster.

Really? The staff were friendly on the most part and they’ve installed a decent new rollercoaster. Sure some of the rides were worse for wear, example that comes to mind is flip flop - looked like their should have been water surrounding it and looked quite bad having a large dirty ditch. And...

Rumour has it that likes of Jacob Rees Mogg were literally manhandling tory MPs into the No lobby today in voting since the chief whip has done a runner. If true massive disrespect to democracy. But tories are literally gasping for air right now they’re done for and they all know it.

Last I saw yeah, they were ripping it up as it was rotting away. Not seen anything to indicate it is being replaced?

Visisted Flamingo Land for the first time last week my thoughts are this: Obvisouly was looking forward mostly to sik, the soundtrack really was banging, (is that what the kids call it nowadays?) lovely large station too. It was a smooth enjoyable ride, it does what it says on the tin really...

I concur that AT security are subpar, compared to or Merlin Parks, ie: Thrope Park's, who at least are used to this behaviour year old simply due to the audiance the park aims themselves at. Thrope Park security ALWAYS check bags at the entrance and carry PPE; ie: Handcuffs I have never seen...

They would have to be very careful with something like that and how they word it, very easily cause a huge backlash. They can’t exactly put “Traveller Day: stay away for your own safety”.

Not read this whole thread so might’ve been mentioned, but I can tell you now nobody can ban an entire group based on their culture, there’s multiple laws/legislation surrounding this most importantly the human rights act! We all know young male travellers in large groups cause problems, but...

I mean the only way is up - and I really hope that is true with the looping group, I dont really know much about them or their other attractions. But a lot of smaller parks parks are starting to up thier game recently likes of paultons, flamingo land etc. There's some tough competition for...

Been out of the scene for a long time, nor have I been to Drayton Manor for many years, but watched a video of the park from summer 2020 and wow what a fall from grace, the park really looked like it was hanging onto a thin thread sad to see.

After 17th May they'll be no person restrictions in place - very much doubt they'll continue to cap attendence if it's not longer mandatory in law.

It's not a strange decision at all in terms of £££, this is a quick and easy way to get tickets sold, I would not be surprised if we saw more than the usual discounted tickets this next season or so to go with it. Every little is needed to get people in to help recover from COVID. Don't get me...

In terms of the funfair attractions being added, honestly if it was a normal season I'd be a bit let down but in retrospect the leisure industry has been ravaged financially by covid. It's not ideal but it's something quick and easy to attempt and get guest numbers up - plus Alton Towers lack...

I feel the exact same I've not visited since before Wicker Man opened and yet I still have no urging desire to return anytime soon, I'm not sure what it is but there's something missing from Alton that 5 years ago made me visit almost monthly. Maybe it's that lack of "magic" that was ever so...
