[🌎 Universal GB] General Discussion
But Despicable Me is a film about an evil villain adopting three girls, the four main characters are an adult male and three girls. It’s overall a pretty generic kids film not particularly skewed to either gender. I don’t think there is any evidence to say they won’t let alone strong evidence.- jon81uk

But thats the point, the teenage boys don't want to visit Disney parks for those attractions and the parks and those rides are still incredibly popular. The fact some attractions won't have boys wanting to ride them isn't a reason not to build them. Teenagers won't want to go to the Octonauts...- jon81uk

Would teenage boys and lads be excited by a Frozen dark ride, or a Little Mermaid one, or a Winne the Pooh one? That hasn't stopped any of these rides being very popular at Disney. Why should the fact teenage boys might not want to ride a Wicked ride mean it shouldn't be built? Teenage boys...- jon81uk

Did anyone else find the actual secret traitor thing a bit underwhelming in the end? Fiona is chaotic though so things might get interesting. I do see Stephen getting banished soon...- jon81uk

Although £35 is a lot for an impulse spend, it still seems fair for a whole day of rides.- jon81uk

Universal Epic Universe - New Florida Theme Park
Portofino Bay is the most expensive hotel at Universal, so can't really be compared to Rosen Inn (one of the cheapest hotels in the area). Also don't forget the original three Universal Hotels (Portofino Bay, Hard Rock Hotel & Royal Pacific) include unlimited express pass at the original two...- jon81uk

Chessington World of Adventures Resort
I think its the use of the word Winter that makes me thing of Jan/Feb. November isn't Winter and December not really either. I'd just describe it as Christmas opening in that period. I agree that Chessington should have a larger Christmas offering and the weather in November/December is...- jon81uk

Chessington World of Adventures Resort
I still don't see significant January opening. I think the autumn opening will expand and Christmas will keep getting bigger. Then close down after the kids go back to school and re-open for half-term at the end of Feb.- jon81uk

The World of David Walliams: General Discussion
From the TowersStreet History section https://towersstreet.com/construction/x-sector/#portdiscovery X Sector was firmly decided on early 1997 so would have been set in stone as a concept late 1996. Additionally the train design would have gone to B&M. Sorry I don't see that the Thorpe Park...- jon81uk

The World of David Walliams: General Discussion
Oblivion opened March 1998, Tussauds bought Thorpe Park in 1998. The X Sector theme was set in stone long before the Thorpe Park purchase. I don't think that Tussauds acquiring Thorpe had any reflection on the X Sector theming for Oblivion and the surrounding area.- jon81uk

[202X] Project Horizon (SW9?): Planning Approved
Yep and I think the leadership likely realise that planning permission to build a building in that area is still a good thing, as you are unlikely to get anything without a building in that area, even if you then change plans on what to do with the building it makes sense to keep the planning...- jon81uk

I very much doubt that. There was general rumours sure but very much doubt AT knew more than his publisher who took the action this week that sparked the news and discussion- jon81uk

The World of David Walliams: General Discussion
I still think realistically Gangsta Granny will open for 2026, just removing the "World of David Walliams" branding. The book/story itself isn't particularly controversial and you can still go into bookshops and buy it. Its just right now HarperCollins won't publish any of his future works due...- jon81uk
