    Wheelhouse Signs Deal With Merlin to Develop Unscripted TV Based on Global Attractions

    Not a hope they'll be making any serious narrative TV shows or films - they simply won't have the financial backing nor the audience. Something decent based on TCAAM would be in the order of tens if not hundreds of millions - even Disney hasn't been particularly successful with this route with...

    What car do you drive?

    2017 Toyota CH-R. No road tax, does 60mpg at all times anywhere, ultra reliable. Very quiet at low speeds due to the hybrid motor. I never thought I'd own the same car longer than a couple of years but this one has broken the mould!

    Nemesis: Sub-Terra

    The leg ticklers seem to be significantly more vigorous this year for some reason. Dread to think how painful they'll be in shorts in summer!

    [2024] Thorpe Park: Hyperia - Mack Hypercoaster

    @Parabolic Curve I've just had to merge together a large number of your consecutive posts - please try to keep these all in one going forwards. To add, this topic is specifically about Hyperia - so please keep discussion on that subject. Posts about other rides belong in other topics - thanks!

    Cadbury World - Merlin Take Over

    Going forwards please can you summarise the contents of the video, or at least comment on it as opposed to simply posting it on its own. I've left it here for context now - but please bear in mind in the future. Thanks!

    Universal Epic Universe - New Florida Theme Park

    The Isle of Berk reveal video is now here - as usual, incredible polish from Universal. I just can't look at a Sky Fly and not think of Blackpool nowadays though 😂 From: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WYJfbVMeA4

    World Record Attempt

    Most likely anyone that's tried has ended up with such severe spinal issues upon finishing that they didn't have the willpower to pursue Guinness No coincidence that the guy on PBE that rode Furius Baco 70 odd times once has never been seen again online 💀

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach: 2024 Discussion

    Oh I agree with you on the latter point also - but yes, IN MY OPINION (perhaps we should force append this to all posts going forwards) ;)

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach: 2024 Discussion

    Consider said wrist to be slapped (all of you!). Frankly the Nash is an abomination but please could we not argue back and forth on the topic - the points raised have been repeatedly mentioned so there isn't really much to be gained from perpetuating the discussion. Thanks!

    Alton Towers Merchandise

    Hardly ever go in the main shop so this may be old news, but nice to see some "retro" t-shirts on offer!

    Ride Availability/Operations 2022-24

    I'm not sure where you were looking yesterday, but certainly I noticed both on the queue boards (the big ones & the ones outside each individual ride) were indeed showing "weather delay" when the rides involved were closed. Having been into X Sector I also heard the ops announce multiple times...

    Food & Beverage: The Aramark Era begins

    We went at 4:45 just after they opened - it wasn't busy and everything that was on offer was on offer!

    Food & Beverage: The Aramark Era begins

    The difference in food quality and value for money between Flambos and SGR is now insane. I've not been to Flambos for a couple of years, but ate there last night following a meal at SGR last weekend - and to say it was disappointing would be an understatement. 1) Buffet options have been...

    Ride Availability/Operations 2022-24

    Echoing some other thoughts in here. Got to the park around 12 and the moment I saw the biblical Guest Services queue I knew it was going to be grim. Majority of rides closed all day up until 5pm (around) except for Nemesis, Spinball & Rita - each with ungodly queues for most of the day...

    Football Discussion

    They also really REALLY need to review the way these PSR sanctions are happening. It's farcical having random points deductions happening throughout the season. Surely it has to be done in the summer or at a singular cutoff point mid-winter at the absolute worst? The way it is impacting ongoing...

    What would one do with such a useless piece of tat though? Mount it alongside your Masters?

    Can't think of anything to do with this thread but...lock it, and pretend it never existed. ;) 🔒

    Nemesis Reborn: General Discussion

    It will never be more valuable than the initial price, let's be honest. It's a bolt!
