    Legoland Windsor

    Don't think they have done it at Legoland yet but some of the other Merlin parks have solar panels on rooves. Wind is difficult in suburban areas, finding a site with enough steady wind, that can accommodate turbines and get planning permission as not an eyesore or noise issue is very unlikely...

    Quick Questions

    I found the burger from Burger Kitchen to be adequate, nothing to complain about anyway. Last time I ate at Eastern Express it was bad, gristly meat in an overcooked baguette.

    Alton Towers by Train?

    The station at Wixams was planned to be built for the nearby housing development anyway, it will just be larger https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wixams_railway_station Alton Towers and JCB have caused many road improvements in the Uttoxeter area, yes what is being done to facilitate Universal is...

    Busch Gardens Tampa: General Discussion

    I've always been to Busch Gardens on a weekday and had walk-on rides. I guess because they have so many quiet days the staff don't know how to be efficient on busy days? Also with the shuttle it was never really "free" and just included with a ticket purchase I thought, maybe they will charge...

    Food & Beverage: The Aramark Era begins

    I don't think Eastern Express offer any notable quality improvement compared to Aramark/Merlin though. Whereas KFC at Thorpe at least has consistency of supply chain.

    Merlin Entertainments: General Discussion

    ever since the Lego House opened I’ve been expecting Lego to want to run more visitor experiences so makes sense for them to buy the Discovery Centres. Whereas there isn’t really another major aquarium operator to take over Sea Life.

    Paultons Park: General Discussion

    Its not quite a "clean sweep", note the emojis show which place was won, its seven first place, two second and a third. Still a great achievement but given for most categories there are awards for first second and third it does mean a lot of places can talk about winning!

    Merlin Entertainments: General Discussion

    I suppose they have owned Merlin for twenty years and successfully merged them with the Tussauds Group with good initial results from that merger. its more recently its been a problem

    Ride/Park Accidents

    Unfortuantly I doubt the front line ride staff have had training on "what to do if someone returns dead on the coaster" so their response is likely to wait for medical and first responders to arrive. They may well be shocked and no idea what the best course of action is.

    Disneyland Paris: General Discussion

    They didn’t change the California ToT to Gaurdians because Twilight Zone is old, they didn’t change it because they wanted synergy with the current movie and this was easier/cheaper than building a whole new attraction. You say it’s being repainted to the OLD colours, so they are actually...

    Disneyland Paris: General Discussion

    You could remove the IP and just have a Haunted Hotel and the Florida one would still be a great ride.

    Is Alton Towers too cheap?

    I would say this is because the hotels at AT are still a little too expensive. Although due to the inflation rising faster than their prices its not as bad as it was a few years ago. But in general I think the AT hotels have always been a little overpriced and definitely expensive. But the day...
