    Dreamland Margate: General Discussion

    How many tourists come to see a concert at Dreamland vs how many come for the rollercoaster? I would expect the concerts drive more people to the area in general. But yes, Dreamland as an amusement park is another small thing to add to the list when visiting seaside towns, but I don't think...

    [🌎 Universal GB] General Discussion

    Exactly, it is not just "a rather dry statement" it is a deliberate statement to reinforce the point that he wants those bodies to support them to move quickly to approve things quickly. I think the entire point of Anglian Water speaking to the media is to put pressure on local planners, the...

    Dreamland Margate: General Discussion

    I agree the council could use the event licensing to force them to operate as an amusement park too, but there is a strong chance of Live Nation just selling up and making it someone elses problem. The council will also be concerned about hotel and other secondary spend of people travelling to...

    Dreamland Margate: General Discussion

    Yes Ticketmaster is a bad company with operations that are not consumer-friendly but I think that is a very different topic and not related to running an old rollercoaster.

    Pet Hates

    It might be a placebo effect rather than actually doing anything, but I do think a Magnesium glycinate supplement is helping me sleep deeper and not wake up as easily. Although two nights ago our smoke detector went off at 4.30am waking me up, couldn't find a fire but think it might have been...

    Dreamland Margate: General Discussion

    On what basis do they have no right? As you say the listed status does not force operation. What makes them corrupt?

    [🌎 Universal GB] General Discussion

    I think Geoff Darch's (Anglian Water's head of strategic asset planning) comments are at least strongly worded, even if not actually complaints. They definitly don't read as a sunshine and lollipops situaltion, they are not happy they need to work quickly to upgrade the sewage (Water Recycling...

    Disneyland Paris: General Discussion

    The magic carpets don't really fit anywhere, they aren't particularly part of the Hollywood-styled World Premiere Plaza unless you can shoe-horn an animation reference in. and yes, way to much open space around that lake.

    In The Night Garden Boat Ride

    the space inside the ride is the In the Night Garden figures, animatronics and set pieces. Without them you would just have a boat going past other rides queues.

    In The Night Garden Boat Ride

    I thought you said removing it would add another ride or two? Which is it, remove or keep?

    The Public Transport Thread

    I think its more that the flight prices are very low rather than train prices high. But its possible with both modes of transport to find lowest prices on select days if you aren't worried about going on peak dates.

    [🌎 Universal GB] General Discussion

    Yes they allow paying guests to admit friends and family but you can’t just rock up and use the water park without being a pre-booked, invited friend/family of a paying guest.

    Center Parcs don't allow day guests, so very different to a general access water park.

    [🌎 Universal GB] General Discussion

    Yep a large park that you might need two days at feels like it makes more sense than a second gate. Better to feel like one park has too much to see & do (like Europa), compared to one park with one satisfying day and a second park that feels small and not full (like Disneyland Paris and Walt...

    Redevelopment of Katanga Canyon

    That would mean hiring actual bartenders who know how to make cocktails though.

    The Traitors (WARNING: Potential spoilers!)

    Didn’t find it anywhere, it’s just what has happened. Not sure why you don’t think two traitors can just split it? It’s also plausible that the producers of that Australian season wanted a little more drama in an otherwise slightly boring end game.

    2026: General Discussion

    A significant number of people stay over at the hotel and then go to the water park in the morning on the second day. Makes more sense to be open from 10am for those guests.

    The Traitors (WARNING: Potential spoilers!)

    Rachel and Stephen played very well and the first team traitors win really. Would have gone very differently if they had banished Racheal or chance got her out. Then might have seen Faraaz and Jack or Stephen win.

    The Traitors (WARNING: Potential spoilers!)

    That was for three traitors at the end. Two just split it.
