I quite like the 4D coasters, amazed a smaller UK or European park hasn't invested in one.

How is a traditional chain hill rollercoaster so temperamental. I visited in June 2019 and they'd still not finished building the thing. Opened late in the 2019 season. It didn't operate at all in 2020. Been on and off since 2021 until it just stopped opening the middle of last season. Not...

Least it running slowly will mean there's a longer ride time

35th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster today. Didn't entirely understand what had happened as a kid, I do however remember the silence of queueing in the streets around Anfield in the aftermath of the disaster to pay respect to the victims. Was the first time I'd even visited the ground.

You'd hope they'd have built the coaster in a way so it can be operated in highish winds. Unlike the big one were Geoffrey Thompson wanted it built in a specific way and with those 2 big first hills and turnaround to draw attention to itself and the park.

Just hopeful that the noises coming out this weekend means Merlin and the other UK park operators are now (if not already) hard at work at planning investments and additions to their own parks for the next decade.

Nice to see two relatively local teams to me in Wrexham and Stockport getting promoted to league one. Both have had an horrendous time of it until quite recently. 24/25 the last season Stockport can have the claim of having the closest ground in the top 4 divisions to the river Mersey as well...

They'll probably test it after park hours in the coming days, probably have the local media there as well like they did with Nemesis Reborn. I do like the train design but don't get how it fits with the name and story. Ironically the zero car design on Icon and Helix would seem more fitting to...

Out at cinemas yesterday was Alex Garlands Civil War led by Kirsten Dunst as veteran war reporter. Set in seemingly dying days of a US civil war were a number of states have succeded from the union during the presidents 3rd term. With the western forces of Texas and California massing to...

Was just coming in here to post the same. Southampton currently winning so could be a late surge from them.

Didn't they only build it because they had a legal agreement with the French government to build a second gate by a specific date.

I miss the days were you'd get a free hot drink on every visit just go the park specific dining establishment after about 3pm.

Reminds of of Bumblebee from the Michael Bay Transformer films.

Been watching loads of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia recently. Started it years ago but picking it back up now, absolutely hilarious.

Dogs on park are the best dogs

Probably because they want people to visit now, see the new coaster under construction and then return later in the year to ride it.

Not sure how I'd not seen it previously but spotted it on Netflix and through it on. Arrival starring Amy Adams as a language expert called into help the US military attempt to communicate with an alien space craft, one of twelve that have mysteriously came to earth. A stunningly great film...
