To me it's only lost space if it would be available to use in the first place. From what i've read over the years (not just on here) it's extremely doubtful that a ride would get permission in that area (the part the new ride doesn't seem to be utilising) and so could;t be used for this...

It's not really lost space if planning permission would never be granted though. If they can't remove foundations of The Flume due to trees there must be major doubts over gaining planning permission. You'd expect them to have got the council in and asked opinion on what would be likely to get...

They've just put some more pics on Twitter and a message saying they are adding vines. It's almost like they're watching this thread :)

God I hope so.... :(

I've heard through a friend that Towers Street is receiving some attention this time around - but have seen no evidence otherwise yet.

Work is being carried out on Towers Street also, but only know this via a friend so can't confirm what work exactly. Starting to look like more than just a little routine stuff - at long last. Taking a better now than never attitude.

Wasn't there for me either. Can see why Ripsaw went - even though I hope it will be replaced - but think that HEX may just need a long term refurb.

Three things I hope are close to the top of the improvement list: - the toilets - all of them - road surfaces - especially the one leading to coach & disabled parking - Towers Street - gives an awful first impression as people will always (rightly or wrongly) compare to certain other parks...

This is the key thing for me - they have recognised they need to change, too early to comment but hope it proves to be a turning point for forthcoming years.

Never seen Duel using the "graveyard" but remember seeing Haunted House having massive queues in that area :)

First time seeing the fireworks in years, but thought they were excellent. Decent attempt at a story, different sections clear to determine and mostly good use of music. Lighting and fireworks worked well together. You're never going to get something on the scale of a permanent installation...

Avoiding all videos for this, but refillable coffee would work for me every time, and may well be a key purchase on Saturday :)

Corkscrew was the first roller coaster I rode (hence the Avatar) and very happy with it's replacement. Wish the outdoor section was longer if anything.

I see the point for others, but not for me and wouldn't attract me if I didn't have the AP....

Although i'm not the biggest extreme coaster fan, I love going to Towers. Yes, it's a little worn in places and needs some TLC to say the least in areas such as Dark Forest and The Flume, but I can also see past this and remember my visits over the decades from before Corkscrew. I now go there...

Haven't been for at least a decade so looking forward to this years whatever the theme :)

Katanga is fine, the Flume on the other hand is showing it's age more than any other area - which is a great pity for me as I remember riding it many times when younger.

Not in a queue line but yesterday standing in the Lego shop opposite Flume when a member of Towers staff came in and asked the person on the till "is this the Lego shop?"...... ;)

I've been expecting them to open for Scarefest IF cleared by HSE and their own procedures (and have been pretty much since the accident). Social media etc just fluff on the sidelines. If it doesn't open then the current work will have helped Merlin identify what else needs to be changed for next...

Expecting a woodie, hope for RMC, think Towers should make a cracking job of one on that side of the valley. Sort of hoping that Air is themed more in the changes also. The valley will return to being a key aspect of the park in the next few years, wonder if an entrance move is on the cards now...
