    Wicker Man - General Discussion - Part Two

    I'm 6'2" and have always struggled with Th13rteen (legs at an angle, to fit), so I'll have to see about WM. It's not even like being 6ft+ is uncommon - in fact it's extremely common and probably the average for an adult male, yet these rides don't seem to take that into account. But I understand...

    Wicker Man - General Discussion - Part Two

    This seems pretty conclusive, and final. They could not get away with opening it now they’ve said it won’t be open on social media.

    Wicker Man - General Discussion - Part Two

    Looks like the media have been given the green light to share images from inside the pre-show. Though Shawn is currently receiving a lot of abuse on Twitter, for doing just that! Does seem a bit short-sighted considering his following.

    What developments will happen after 2018?

    Still think SW8 should have been part of Gloomy Wood. Mutiny Bay didn’t need anything new. SW8 paired with a redevelopment of Duel later on would have worked well, for Gloomy Wood.

    2018: General Discussion

    Gah! In my defence, I hadn't seen that until right now. Do you not think it's just the *tiniest* bit sloppy to slap a completely unrelated ride in Mutiny Bay? Like, I know the ride had to go in The Flume's space but my face is hurting from the lack of continuity in the area. Considering how they...

    Towers Loving Care

    I've just been reminded that, in the last tweet on the Twitter account, they said Duel would get further treatment next closed season (right now!?). But not sure whether I should hope for this to mean more than someone going around with a duster and some Febreeze! ;) Link to Tweet

    2018: General Discussion

    I know it's a hotly debated topic, but with the SW8 formal reveal on Monday, are we expecting them to make it more clear which part of the park Wicker Man is going to be a part of? I don't care either way at this point, but it doesn't exactly fit with the nautical/pirate themes surrounding it...

    What developments will happen after 2018?

    I cannot see Duel surviving in its current form for another 10 years! It would at least have closed entirely long before that, if it doesn't get re-themed. The park is begging for dark/indoor rides, having closed the majority of them and Duel being in such an awful state. With a brand new...

    Towers Loving Care

    Yeah. NST is such an eye sore. It’s in a bad state and covered in autumn leaves. Doesn’t make the park look good. They need to find a way of opening it with less staff. Remove the scaremaze at the end, maybe remove the armoured guys out front. Seems ridiculous to spend all that money and then...

    Towers Loving Care

    We're forgetting that Alton Towers have more than one dark ride to worry about. The Charlie unit is still sitting empty.

    Fireworks 2017

    Yes, yes. I was there on the Saturday last year. It wasn't close to being dangerous...it was horrendously dangerous. I've never seen such a poor performance from Alton Towers. It was very obvious they'd put profits over visitor experience...and it's clear they intend to do that again. Awful...

    London Entertainment Resort: All Discussion

    Precisely that. 'Paramount Studios' invoked feelings of Universal Studios and the like, it immediately tells the observer the scale and quality of the attraction. Otherwise it's just some other attraction. You need a big name attached to this project, front and centre.

    London Entertainment Resort: All Discussion

    Project won’t happen without a big name attached to it. The London Resort is a ridiculous name for something of its planned size.

    Do they ever want Alton Towers to recover?

    To be honest, I'm just hoping Alton Towers aren't simply dismissing the fact they've got empty units (Charlie) hanging around. We've had no announcement about the future of that space, which makes me think they're just not bothered. Also the 4D cinema house. No update on the future of Duel even...

    Scarefest 2017

    Okay I need visiting advice. We're thinking about visiting Towers this Saturday because weather looks like it's going to be pleasant, and we've never been during Scarefest. That said, we do not intend to do any of the Scare Mazes or paid-for Scarefest activities. So I'm trying to gauge how...

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

    They can't really use Sean...he works there, and as an employee they can't really display favoritism. Plus the point of using a YouTuber is a wide audience, forgive me when I say Sean's channel is somewhat too niche - although relevant. Also, if we're talking about the guy who presents those SW8...

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

    If you look at the logo, it seems to suggest this Wicker Man has a fireball for a head. So that might be the effect they're trying to achieve. Although that could be incredibly expensive to run for 7 hours every day, so it could be an intermittent effect like most other fire effects you see.

    I was late to the Wicker Man party...as you were! At least we have our name!
