Or as you lot call it "A Frosty Reception".

Wonder if the real reason the Grand Prix is closing is because it uses RAAC and they can't afford/don't want to replace it.

Either it'll kick then into gear a bit, or they'll fade away quietly. If they don't do something to make some noise in the face of the inevitable (if Universal goes ahead) Merlin and Universal arms race then I think they could go extinct if they don't change their ways.

I hope they've only made one pair of each because I doubt they'll sell many more than that.

It's baffling really. Feels like they're going for surge pricing for a park that's dead 90% of the time... Mandy, that you? In seriousness though, it's all guesswork without having the data, who knows if POP, a walkaround pass and ride tickets or some combination of the two is the way to go.

The walkthrough attraction or the haunted swing?

Don't hold your breath, you'll do yourself a mischief.

In fairness they could have gone with "We nearly got DECAPITATED on a DANGEROUS water ride!"

Wikipedia's article on dark rides says that Valhalla is 'the world largest indoor ride', but it cites this article which actually says "Sadly, the five-storey funhouse burned down in 1991 after being built in the 30s. One of the longest indoor dark rides in the world, Valhalla, replaced it in...

Here's the video. The trains look the most interesting part of the ride.

I don't think you need to wonder much to come to a conclusion.

It'd be unique to the country, but given how bad BPB are at marketing I'm not sure how they'd convey that to the general public.

Must include fountain or fountains within the layout.

At least it becomes a moot point when Hyperia opens because it won't be the tallest by either height.

Given how bad they are at marketing, going for a record as their next coaster makes total sense.

Capacity per train is what they need to look at, as they'll inevitably run whatever they get on one train the majority of the time!

Planned maintenance to me is "oh we need to bring the ride down for a week on these dates to change out the thingy", whereas this seems to be "it's broken, we need to close it" which doesn't sound very planned...

Screams cost cutting to me, rather than 'building for the future' or whatever. With the best will in the world I can't see anything going on the Grand Prix site for a long while.

I typically dislike companies that are beholden to shareholders, but in BPBs case at least if it wasn't family run Amanda would have been ousted long ago and the park might be in a better shape.
