    Blooloop article Just spotted this article on Blooloop- unsure where to post as covers a lot of ground but from Towers’ marketing director. Enjoyable read about the storytelling used a towers in multiple recent attractions.

    John Wardley New Book

    I’ve heard that Wardley reveals that he was the original mastermind behind the Glasgow Wonka Experience! Jokes apart really looking forward to reading this. His last book offered a really great insight into both the coasters he’s known for and his background in theatre as well. I hope that...

    The name R- Cade reminds me of a northern Nan - it implies the existence of a an R-Linda and R-Pete 😂 Still think this space would be a lovely F&B outlet!

    Nemesis Reborn: General Discussion

    I’ve got to say I think Nemmy rebo was running a lot smoother today. It opened early and staff were clearly ready for 10am opening- they even let us in the main queue from way before 10! Ops were excellent on two trains all day- rattles still there but I felt it was less pronounced than when I...

    I don’t know how they could charge more! A tenner to park a 15-20min walk away from the theme park or queue for a train which you can’t even see out of the windows seems ludicrous. I wouldn’t be surprised if the locals cotton on and start letting out driveways near the theme park for parking.

    Ride Availability/Operations 2022-24

    Not too bad on ops today. Nemmy rebo actually opened a couple of minutes early (was on the first train about 9:57!) Galactica is on two trains but with only one station which seems a bit silly! Th13teen also seems to be causing trouble- experienced two periods of down time whilst queueing, but...

    Noticed this morning on the way in they seem to have removed mention of how much parking actually costs. Signs now just say paid parking. Maybe there’s being issues with people kicking off on the way in about the extorinate amount they have to pay?

    Cadbury World - Merlin Take Over

    I think the problem at the moment is that it was in the past so bad it’s good- you know with the wobbly vibrating seats, the questionable chocobeans and tacky 4d experience. However I think it’s got to the point where it’s looking that tired that it’s so bad it’s bad.

    Cadbury World - Merlin Take Over

    Visited Cadburys World in October and was really quite disappointed! They were re doing the advertising bit and the chocolately world part was out of action. It felt a little bit ok the short side for the same cost as the full attraction! The cabadraba ride was looking quite sad- a lot of...

    Ride Availability/Operations 2022-24

    So was on park today and was pleasantly surprised by some operations! Oblivion and Wickerman were running like a dream today! Two stations on Oblivion on a relatively medium busy day! Wickerman was running brilliantly as well- think it’s becoming a staple of great ops on park! However - Nemmy...

    Nemesis Reborn: General Discussion

    Just experienced two quite close together temporary stoppages- seems that op senses a problem - decides to send it empty and then ride auto stops and refuses to run. It got stuck empty on lift (has to be manually restarted) and then stuck in station. I’m guessing it might be to do with some...

    Ride Availability/Operations 2022-24

    I think the new queueing reporting feature is definitely a positive addition. We reported a group in front of us last weekend vaping and vandalising in the Smiler queue. Shortly after an announcement came from the op to tell people to stop vaping and they vaping inside the indoor queueline is...

    Forbidden Valley: Future Changes?

    For me at the moment the Nemmy Rebo queueline and FV is giving last 10mins of Grand Designs VIBES. As in they ran out of money/ time but still had to show Kevin McCloud the finished product for the ‘reveal’ section at the end of the episode. Yes there some impressive bits but a lot unfinished...

    Food & Beverage: The Aramark Era begins

    Went to Pizza Pasta on Saturday. With the price increase we asked the staff member on the till if the ice cream machine had made a return (in my opinion the best era of pizza pasta). The lady just looked at us blankly and said “it’s my first day and I’ve never been here before” 🤣 Quality has...

    Nemesis Reborn: General Discussion

    I understand that this may have been frustrating in this situation but I felt definitely yesterday it was a lot of people’s first days in a new job. I can imagine that might have led to the false evac - or unclear procedure with the new ride. We had three people serving us a drink in the...

    2024: General Discussion

    Anyone else notice some of the supposed maintenance and sparkle that was meant to be taking place around the park was lacking a little? Don’t get me wrong there was some bits of Blivvy and Smiler that had clearly been freshly painted (could still smell it) but for example screens were broken on...

    I’m in a bit where the speakers are only playing music not announcements but sounded like the op.
