    Theme Park Worldwide

    No, he cannot "bubble" with her, unless she lives alone. So he is correct in still socially distancing from her. I agree it'll be interesting to see how he shares a car and hotel rooms with her however...

    2018: Wicker Man - General Discussion - SPOILERS! - Part One

    The Sun have already posted a POV (actual POV) in their article here https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/5769188/alton-towers-wicker-man-wooden-rollercoaster-go-pro-video/ Edit - the video did begin showing the end of the projection mapping in the pre-show, but looks like this has since been edited out

    Trip Planning 2023/24: Information, advice and questions!

    It wasn't too bad to be fair. Saturday we got most of the smaller rides done and then did Horror Nights where we didn't queue any longer than about 30mins for the mazes. Sunday was very busy, but we took a last minute decision to stay in the El Andaluz last week, so we got the early ride time...

    Thanks for such a detailed reply. Very helpful. I assumed it would be busy and I guess the queue times aren't bad when you consider how long queues will be at Towers or somewhere like DLP during peak!

    Thanks Dan! Unfortunately the event ticket was sold out for the date I wanted - so had to get the combo anyway! I'm going 29th - 30th October, so am expecting it to be busy, but just how busy would you estimate it gets during those dates? Also how do the mazes work, is it hands-on-shoulders...

    Quick question about Horror Nights. I'll be going for a weekend so plan to do Horror Nights on the Saturday. Should I buy the park entry/Horror Nights combo and an additional separate day ticket or buy the 2 day ticket and Horror Nights separately?

    Disneyland Paris - Reinvent the Magic

    I think right now, it's better for Disney to invest in getting what the resort already has up to an acceptable standard, than invest in new attractions and let the current ones continue to depreciate.

    Thorpe Park 2017: DBGT: Rise of The Demon

    I doubt it'd be called 'Derren Brown: The Ride' - infact I doubt his name would be in the title of the ride. Most likely would be 'Automaton - presented by Derren Brown' or hosted by Derren Brown.

    Thorpe Park 2017: DBGT: Rise of The Demon

    The images aren't part of the trademark, I was just illustrating ideas around Automatons, which are mostly from the Victorian era, which the theming of WC16 appears to be based on. The new teaser marketing seems to not fit with this however..

    Thorpe Park 2017: DBGT: Rise of The Demon

    We know the ride has a photography unit, so I'm not sure how an onride photo would work on an immersive tunnel? Unless the photo is a pre ride photo, like SAW Alive.

    Thorpe Park 2017: DBGT: Rise of The Demon

    With Simworx recent aquisition of Robocoaster, I reckon we'll be seeing one of these for this ride. http://www.simworx.co.uk/rcx-robocoaster-g2/ In a recent news article they also said "Simworx has generated double-digit growth year-on-year since 2013, and is currently producing six new rides...

    Merch

    I'm gutted I missed out on buying any Europa merch. Does anyone own anything cool or unique, or what's your favourite EP merch you own? I was looking at this...

    My Europa Experience

    Yes I was debating buying beer - as you say it was nearly as cheap as water. But when it's that hot, replacing beer with water could be disastrous ;)

    My Europa Experience

    So after my first ever visit to Europa, I wanted to post a quick report, though it's more just thoughts and observations really. First thing I noticed when arriving was the heat. It was disgustingly hot on both days I visited. It was between 35-38 degrees, which meant we were thirsty - but...

    Speaking of Edeka. I'm going to be there during the 'Edeka Day' event. What does this entail? From what I can work out its just free samples from the brands Edeka sell? Is it likely to be busier due to this?
