    Flamingo Land: General Discussion

    Amazing how they've spent so much money over the past 20 years and the place still looks like a giant turd. Bring back the Schwarzkopfs, at least they were fun...

    Shawn really is splashing the cash these days, don't know if they'll fit in with the rest of his tat in the shed though.

    [2024] Thorpe Park: Hyperia - Mack Hypercoaster

    The Nemesis rattle speculation is also amazing at the moment.

    Ride Availability/Operations 2022-24

    Even if they managed to hire new engineers, they're not going to be hitting the ground running straight away, it takes time to train people especially given how unique some of the systems are. I know engineers are being given signing on bonuses where I work so it's a very competitive industry...

    2024: General Discussion

    It still sounds better than the Smiler did in it's opening year, even with the rattle. My old Rover 200 sounded better put together than that thing ever has.

    Ride Access Pass and Disabled Access - 2024 Discussion

    It kind of defeats the purpose of the RAP if you're allowing that many users in that they end up having to queue a substantial amount of time anyway. Any solution will inevitably disappoint some people, but it really isn't good for anyone (particularly those with more severe disabilities), in...

    Merlin Entertainments: General Discussion

    That quote stood out to me aswell, I can't believe he'd openly admit that in an interview and certainly doesn't come across very well. I sadly can't see any kind of revolution coming as a direct result of his stewardship, we're very much relying on people such as Bianca to push for investments.

    Galactica: General Discussion

    The main problem with Galactica is just how bare it all looks compared to the rest of Forbidden Valley, especially Nemesis now. It's a good ride to have as it's in that middle ground between high thrill rides like Nemesis and kids rids like RMT, it just needs enhancing and given a better theme.

    Nemesis Reborn: General Discussion

    Opening days are definitely not for me any more, especially with all the vloggers spouting off. Hope everyone has a good time who's there today though, the ride and area look amazing.

    [2024] Thorpe Park: Hyperia - Mack Hypercoaster

    He sounds like a good Pirates of Mutiny Bay character.... Just goes around saying 'Arrr, there's nothin' left in the budget me hearties'.

    Universal Studios Japan: General Discussion

    I don't know what it is with the theme parks in Japan but queues are generally horrendous at most of the major parks. We went to Fuji Q on a cold day in October and all the major coasters were at least 3 hours with Disney being the same on the big rides.

    [2024] Thorpe Park: Hyperia - Mack Hypercoaster

    We had the same optimism when Merlin first took over from the god awful DIC Tussauds era when they installed Mutiny Bay and Wild Asia. These new regimes all start off the same, we just have to hope they carry the same momentum going into the future.

    Monorail Refurbishment

    Nemesis looks glorious from those photos, the cleaner landscape really improves the look overall.

    The Future of Skyride

    Can't say I'm surprised by this news, the parks core infrastructure has been neglected over the past decade it was bound to bite them in the arse eventually. It'll be interesting to see what happens with Frankensteins Monorail when that inevitably needs a fortune spending on it.

    [2024] Nemesis Reborn: Construction and Speculation

    Credit to the artists who worked on the monster, the fleshy bits look very good. Hopefully it will age a bit better aswell being a darker colour.

    X-Sector's Future (including Oblivion and The Smiler)

    Hopefully they'll revisit the Port Discovery idea, they could theme the area as an excavasion site. The marmaliser could be some sort of Victorian era steam powered drone catching contraption similar to thing in the Wild Wild West film.
