    Merlin Entertainments: General Discussion

    And the masks begins to slip... Seems as though this is continuing the VAT row with the government that Merlin have been pushing for years. They don't like the tax on consumption as it's essentially a tax on their trading. Whilst personally I believe that the introduction of indirect tax in...

    Nemesis Reborn: General Discussion

    Credit LukeL on Coaster Bot Discord. Looks like tentacles have been added to the eye, with two more still looking like to be added!

    Drayton Manor Park

    I think the Zoo at Drayton needs a bit of an overhaul, it feels so outdated and doesn't really match the current direction of the park. I feel as though it needs modernising, like with the Penguin exhibit that was planned a few years ago, focusing on smaller animals, I kind of felt sad for the...

    Chessington World of Adventures Resort

    I was wondering this, as someone who has no experience within the engineering world I just saw big number but my first thoughts were 'What's the Industry Average?'. What sort of wages would be appropriate for the role once you remove the novelty factor of working for a theme park?

    Oblivion: General Discussion

    I wasn't saying that Oblivion itself should have 'humour' within its theme, I was more highlighting that Oblivion should elaborate as a theme of existentialism and the rest of the area should take the concept of existentialism within different directions, including incorporating humour to really...

    Oblivion: General Discussion

    With new Forbidden Valley taking on a new theme more similar to X-Sector. I'd like to see X-Sector move in a new direction. I'd love the area being an experimental facility for existentialism with the Ministry of Joy being mad scientists. The Smiler being a psychological device twisting the...

    2024: General Discussion

    I can't speak for Bluey show, but I know the new Bing show that was introduced a while back was massively cut from what was planned, as originally it was planned for the character to fall over and that got cut because it wasn't practical to perform and it's clear whoever wrote it didn't have a...

    2024: General Discussion

    I don't think this changes anything, Duggee has a show in Big Fun as well as having his own meet and greet in the Duggee Park. The actors on the M&G will just take a break when the show is on as to not ruin it. Much like Mickey at the Disney parks. That or the Nina building is being used as a...

    Drayton Manor Park

    They won't have a transfer track and maintenance shed with a 3-way switch track if it just had the one train. It would have been easier to have it like any other coaster at Drayton are and just double up the station as a maintenance bay in the off-season... The ride is also configurated with at...

    Drayton Manor Park

    They would park two trains as close to each other with the same distance between each car. Therefore it's much more like that the train in that image is one 4-car train...

    Thorpe Park: General Discussion

    I really hope they get around to resurfacing that whole area and get around to do some serious planting as the whole entrance area feels really artificial. I bet they could come up with some really creative theming structures that would compliment loads of organic plants at the entrance...

    Drayton Manor Park

    Flying Dutchman would fit nicely in the plot where G-Force's station was in Adventure Cove. It would really round out the area if it came with that antique car ride that was originally planned for the area!! Some additional theming in the area would really accel it to one of the better themed...

    Planning applications for potential new Scarefest maze locations

    Not that consequential in itself, but the fact the park is making an effort to remove the portacabins (some of which have been there since the Broome era) and replace them with new permanent infrastructure is a sign of wider updates to the resort than just 'shiny new product'. Definitely seems...

    Forbidden Valley: Future Changes?

    The helicopter isn't finished, it doesn't look as creative as the Nemesis drill was, but I really like the Nemesis tentacles wrapping around the rocks. Yeah it's not as much effort buying a disused helicopter but if they wrap tentacles around it, have the blades rotate and add some lighting...

    Galactica: General Discussion

    The whole logo is just a 2D Leek Signs job, this is like when The Smiler had its entrance sign replaced in 2016 (ironically the year this one was first built) and it was such a downgrade back then. Doesn't match with new management and seems like something old management would so. Seems as...

    Food & Beverage: The Aramark Era begins

    Is it possible that it's along where the Food Street during Mardi Gras used to be, but they've just used the X-Sector name as that's the nearest area on the Food Hygiene listing??
