    Stargazing Pods

    I couldn't believe the similarities... https://komonews.com/news/local/huts-for-the-homeless-catching-on-in-the-northwest?fbclid=IwAR1T5G7tBiWlAo_aLSXHqTlvjwTmvn5wna-S2BCEGo0UV4y4ubAPslaiKOc

    The Alton Towers Dungeon

    And this is just it. If there is an additional charge, they are going to really struggle with the marketing of this. I just cannot see how they have market research to show people are willing to spend money on this. On a day where it's busy in park, and you may struggle to get on the big 6-7...

    The Alton Towers Dungeon

    I don't think this is 'right' for Alton right now. Obviously, there does appear to be a need to update the offering for the 1m-1.4m category. Some decent flats and some improvements to existing attractions would go a long way at updating this offer. I'd also argue that Duel, CATCF, Dark Forest...

    But why on earth do Alton need this cash? I think it shows a pretty dire state they are in, and would suggest that the money from this should be going to the Merlin charity... a far better promotion.

    Center Parcs Longleat Forest 15th-18th December 2017

    I think the biggest shame is that these new slides at Center Parcs have absolutely zero themeing to them. They're often concrete blocks of staircases etc. with little escapism - comapred to the rest of the 'subtropical swimming paradise' they stand out and look horrendous!

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

    I'm confused as to the reasoning that this is an IP? I just cannot see the point of utilising an IP from a forgotten movie many years ago. I think, more likely, it is a theme, not an IP.

    Legoland Windsor

    The river rapids at Legoland remains one of the most poorly themed and ill thought out rides Merlin have ever produced. Just complete disappointment with a ride system that should have been perfect.

    Planet Coaster: new Frontier game

    Any tutorial on how to do this?

    Is the closure of Splash Landings until may expected to result in any refurbishment work to that hotel? Is the closure purely due to low occupancy rates, and am I correct that this is a new thing this year?

    2017: CBeebies Land Hotel

    I think the big logic in this move is based on whacking the prices of the CBeebies hotel up, and having the facilities as solely for those guests who have paid for them. If you're a family with kids under 6, you're going to be paying for it!

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

    I don't quite understand what you mean by this? What you've copied and pasted is generic planning application text 2.0. These are generic planning principles, they are always requested for every single one of Alton's attractions, similarly to the conditions that you would expect to be applied...

    2017: New Attractions for Cbeebies Land

    No real ride removal. Plans show the removal of some maintenance facilities at the back of CBeebies Land behind the tent / next to the Kung Fu Training Playpark. Addition of a round flat ride to CBeebies Land, looks like a Zamperla Jump Around or Mini Jet type ride?

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

    Regarding launch - why would the noise tunnel not therefore also include the lift hill? The plans also include a 1.8m noise shielding wall around various parts of the ride, corners etc. Those complaining about it not utilising the site well are being ridiculous - this is clearly a ride which...

    2017: Voletarium

    Soarin' style ride in the style of a Vampire's bat-like journey?

    Towers Loving Care

    I am genuinely impressed by how widespread, good quality and well thought out these changes are.

    2017/18: SW8 Speculation

    I think an Intamin AquaTrax would be absolutely fantastic on this site. You could vary the amount of water involved in the ride given any time of the year, so it could easily be a massive soaker in the summer months, and barely touch you in March.

    2016: Air - Re-theme to VR Coaster - Galactica

    I think instinctively Air is the ride that you'd want a VR experience on. Everyone has always wanted to fly, you'd hope with this VR technology, it will make it feel like you're flying even more than Air does already!

    Thorpe Park 2017: DBGT: Rise of The Demon

    http://www.westerndailypress.co.uk/Chilling-Victorian-sister-life-size-dolls-London/story-28292094-detail/story.html#1 Some advertising beginning for the new attraction. Seems quite chilling!
