    Towers Loving Care

    Typical of Towers. Its sheer arrogance from someone who thought it could all be done without any outsider help, so they could get all the glory for an outstanding refurb job. Unfortunate that it’s backfired eh lol!

    Towers Loving Care

    Ok, well I haven't seen in it person but there's a few things I can pickup and critique from that video. First of all: The rainbow puke colour scheme! Why does every scene need to be fully washed in full power red, green, or blue with very harsh hotspotting? It's not natural or theatrical...

    Advertise 50 rides? Really?

    There's only 50 now??? Thought it was 60. Used to be 120 back in the day.

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

    Well Towers may not be happy about the fast-forwarding on that corner, but I'm not happy that another set of knees mysteriously appears next to her in the POV shots. Speeding up footage... multiple takes.... everyone's exclusive.. We're all being lied to here. :p

    Except that everyone was a separate group, multiple groups, not 1 united group. ;)

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

    I like how everyone advertises their videos as "exclusive on ride footage" when it's exactly the same camera set up that every YouTuber, fan site, and media outlet have been using. "Exclusive" ;)

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

    Not going out of my way to be negative but history often repeats itself at Towers. Their most valuable asset, Nemesis, has had a repaint, but its the most basic things which are neglected - i.e. the various theming objects around the ride, the weedy and overgrown rocks, the clear water falls...

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

    Noticed in some of the YouTube videos, it looks like a lot of landscaping still needs to be done with some of the surrounding area still looking quite tatty. Would be nice to see a fully finished project (inc landscape) by opening day for once, unlike The Smiler which was still having turf laid...

    Wooaahh! Hang on! You can't just come around here and start criticising food vans, calling them dire! That's incredibly sledgehammer. Some people around this country don't even have access to food vans! Where's your evidence that these food vans are dire?? You could at least pull these things...

    I guess this website is gonna have to change it's colours now? The purple is a little off compared to Towers colour scheme this season. :p

    It may be possible to tweak things somehow but I think they'll struggle. Guess we'll just have to wait and see how good (or bad) it's all turned out.

    I just don't look at the place through rose tinted glasses. As for sledgehammering - well, most of the time you if read what I write I can very easily identify whats poor. Sledgehammer criticisim followed by sledgehammer solutions. :) Being too soft on the place, writing love letters to Nick...

    LOL. Why are we even arguing the finer points of why it's bad? We both know it's gone downhill and Merlin's quality isn't up to par of previous owners.

    What a load of utter rubbish! Go look at the rooms. They still look like something from the early 90's. The carpets through most of the rooms and corridors are also a mess. Bathrooms, even the ones that have been replaced look awful. Travelodge provide better bathrooms. Again, go look for...

    It's likely a lot brighter in real life than these photos. Camera's don't see so well in the dark. Unless those people are doing a mannequin challenge for the long exposure lol. The problem with those LED's is not brightness, it's the wavelength. A proper black light tube will emit UV at around...

    Yes, they can’t offer budget accommodation in order to maintain a good working relationship with surrounding locals and businesses. Its the only way the park can win support from the local community for future development.

    Stargazing Pods

    Well yeah, I mean thats just one of the things I’m getting at, and the food/amenities is another. Exactly why i dont stay over either. But the apart from the bathrooms falling to bits in both hotels, the lodges are just awful. The beds are so rickety and nasty even Ikea wouldn’t touch them...

    It’s all very easy to speculate from the outside but when was the last time you stayed in any of the 2 hotels, or lodges? Try it, pay full price, and then come back and see if I was being dramatic.

    Apart from the obvious “building more accommodation is a moronic move” has anyone considered the quality? AT Hotel is the most run down its ever been. Splash Landings has effectively been destroyed, and CBeebies is just a tacky vinyl-fest. The lodges in Enchanted Village are such a cheap load...

    Single Rider Queues

    At least they're doing something right. Good riddance to SRQ as queuelines on all attractions were starting to get a bit ridiculous with 47 different lines to choose from. There was a time I was convinced they were going to start splitting off queues based on age groups and gender. One queue...
