    How? It would have started long before the more recent ones?

    Alton Towers by Train?

    I’d argue this is the best current scenario to be hoped for. Extending the CVR from Froghall to Oakamoor/Alton and possibly Denstone. 5 miles extension that would allow a park and ride from Leek and maybe Denstone. Wouldn’t cost the earth and would pick up traffic coming from the North and...

    Alton Towers by Train?

    Given the state of the line between Oakamoor and Alton they’d need external help and involves crossing a bridge so would cost millions. As I’ve stated though, the problem is east of Moneystone quarry/Oakamoor it is owned by Staffordshire county council. CVR own Kingsley to Moneystone (pre...

    Alton Towers by Train?

    I’ve written on this topic extensively in other topics so I’ll try to keep it brief. I’ll try to break the line up into multiple lines that all converge at Leekbrook Stoke > Leekbrook Leekbrook > Leek Leekbrook > Caldon Quarry Leekbrook > Denstone Stoke to Leekbrook Stoke to...

    Potential New Universal UK Park

    As others have said I’d like a mix. A bit like when DLP was built, because there is so much history in the UK, they will have to build something truly extraordinary from a creative perspective, or what I hope, is that it is far more “Americanised” bringing Florida/world class quality to the UK...

    Israel/Palestine

    There are literally UK jets shooting down these drones from UK bases in Cyprus. Aside from the fact the Houthi’s (Iranian proxy) have been attacking UK ships for months. The west and Sunni world could be about to reshape the Middle East

    The Alton Towers Music, Video and Other Multimedia Thread

    You knew exactly what I meant and still wanted to behave like a contrarian… So no, a FLAC containing (containing a lossless track) doesn’t exist. But you do you…

    The Alton Towers Music, Video and Other Multimedia Thread

    To not have to answer multiple posts…so there isn’t an existing FLAC of the entire suite… I have the 5 minute TS waltz FLAC already. And the entire 14 minute TS suite that was hosted on TT way back when. And the version of YT sounds an even worse quality Maybe we should get in touch with...

    The Alton Towers Music, Video and Other Multimedia Thread

    Arguably the original TS suite is my favourite piece of AT music. It’s like Time Machine and portal all turned into one. Those halcyon summer ideas, with pseudo Victorian surroundings. Going on an adventure, or early mornings in the plaza waiting for the gates to open or the old annual pass...

    [2024] Thorpe Park: Hyperia - Mack Hypercoaster

    Ridiculous, ugly, unnecessary, badly designed queue line? There will only ever be one Merlin. Ruined the fencing around KC, farcical extra fencing around galactica, warehouse fencing installed around Reborn, the pathetic additions to Mandrill Mayhem and they continue the theme at Thorpe...

    Planning applications for new Scarefest maze locations

    I think it’s a real shame/waste that at least part of it isn’t a high end hotel. I don’t think space wise it would be that different to CBeebies Hotel. The west wing and banqueting hall could be something really special. Cover the talbot gallery as the entrance. As part of planning use...

    Longer term the “not quite big enough” nature of that building will be a massive missed opportunity. Another 15ft wider and they’d of had lots of options. I really hope longer term HB and their tat in terrible places is stripped back from the park. I don’t see it though

    Potential New Universal UK Park

    It all of a sudden feels very real…and given universals recent pace at building parks we should all be very excited. Although as we know, I’ll believe it when the diggers really move in. I just really hope this lights a fire under Merlin, this could have been them if they’d raised the bar for...

    Cadbury World - Merlin Take Over

    Is it definitely an ETF ride? Seems expensive for Merlin. Although am I right in thinking the legoland US dark rides are ETF? Given their recent link up with Garmendale I’d be intrigued to see if they bought any others to the UK Dungeons perhaps?

    Planning applications for new Scarefest maze locations

    I think this is a great development. It would be good if there was another 2 or 3 of these dotted around the park. 1) Near X Sector, maybe behind the oblivion or near the oblivion brake run 2) Behind the arcade in Mutiny Bay 3) Behind the Hex Building or convert the old car showroom If this...

    Ride Access Pass and Disabled Access - 2024 Discussion

    So they don’t have it the system then… The system should be automatically tied into the existing queue times provided by ride ops. And I assume when someone approaches the queue they are then allocated a time to return based on the current queue. At which time people can immediately access the...
