    Ride Availability/Operations 2022-24

    Haha, especially not Thirteen! We were iffy on doing it at 100 but we knew it would be busy today regardless and my daughter wanted to go on it, so we thought why not whilst it’s actually operational and everything else was down pretty much! Obviously, had we know we’d be in there an hour more...

    Ride Availability/Operations 2022-24

    Brief review of the day as we sit in Mutiny Bay finishing off our picnic: Arrived at 09:30, in at 09:50 (walked it, two monorail carriages broke seemingly that we walked under!) Rides: Spinball Whizzer (advertised 30, waited close to 50) Thirteen (advertised 100, waited 2 hours and 37 minutes)...

    Got in the queue at 11:30, off the ride at 14:07… Two trains by estimation

    Ride Availability/Operations 2022-24

    I am free from my purgatory as of ten minutes ago - really fast past the merge point.

    Ride Availability/Operations 2022-24

    I’m that much of a sad act ( and had nothing better to do) that I counted the time between a train entering the crypt and one cresting the lift hill at 32 seconds. Has to be on two.

    Ride Availability/Operations 2022-24

    Mmm, probably took us one hour to get to the vending machines (couldn’t help but laugh watching some poor lass moaning about her hunger paying an astonishing £4 for a bag of wine gums in desperation). It’s because everything is going down then coming back up so with Smiler, Wicker Man, Rita...

    2 hours and 5 minutes to this point.

    Ride Availability/Operations 2022-24

    Pure guess as my vantage isn’t the best for it but it’s going round regular, I’d be amazed if it’s not on two. It’s gone down at least three times since 11:30 with full queue evacuations each time though…

    Ride Availability/Operations 2022-24

    Wait time specified for Thirteen is 100min. We’ve been in it since 11:30 and aren’t even in the crypt. At least it’s decent weather!

    Thankyou mate, appreciate the reply!

    Nemesis Reborn: General Discussion

    Slightly embarrassing question, but I’d rather know, so please don’t judge! As a fairly rotund gent who gets anxiety at trying out ‘regular’ B&M OTS seats and generally asks for the double buckle seat as a reassurance, does Reborn still feature this seat?

    Scarefest 2024

    Has the time come for Merlin to look at paying for some IP to attach to their mazes and charging a higher price for Scarefest to justify it? The UK at large won’t be aware of HHN and the scale of it. Even getting a couple of franchises into their mazes would be a significant move and really...

    2023: The Curse at Alton Manor

    First visit of the season for us today, and thus our first rides on Alton Manor (twice today). I thought it worth stating, due to the conjecture on young riders opinions, Myself, my Wife and my five (5! Six in August) year old daughter all loved it. My daughter had done Duel loads of times...

    [2023] The Curse at Alton Manor

    Love the name, love the artwork and marketing thus far - very excited.

    [202X] Project Horizon (SW9?): Planning Approved

    Unless Nemesis has a substantial thematic uplift (ala Collosus at Heide Park) with the alien being Wicker Man-esque in terms of it's effects/spectacle, I think the park will struggle to attract guests in 2024 on the strength of the ride simply re-opening. Islands of Adventure opened Skull...

    [202X] Project Horizon (SW9?): Planning Approved

    Purely came to mind as a result of the rings attached to the track on the concept video there… But what about a circus/carnival type themed area, with the ride housed in a ‘Big Top’ themed warehouse (outside facade looking like a tent) with that hardware inside moving through circus style...

    Duel: The Haunted House Actually Strikes Back - Refurb Incoming

    I had what will be my final two rides on Duel today. I’m 35, and remember being terrified of the original Haunted House on my first ever visit to Towers, and enjoyed it every time on subsequent visits too. I also remember being so excited for Duel when it was announced, and have personally...

    2021: General Discussion

    I’m sat watching my wife and daughter on Go Jetters, so thought I’d take a moment give my thoughts on today. I think the park looks great, there appears to be a lot of painting up that has happened in various places. It looks bright and fresh. This doesn’t extend to certain spots (Cuckoo Cars...

    2021: General Discussion

    On that note, I wouldn't be shocked if there is no ride host walking about the ride giving spins whilst it's at Towers. If they want family friendly predominantly out of these they might steer clear of making it too intense. Personally hope that isn't the case, it's just something I can see...

    2021: General Discussion

    I think this is great news because the gap between Cbeebies and the big stuff is so large with only a few (most of Mutiny Bay and Katanga Canyon, Blade/Enterprise) rides to take my daughter on outside of Cbeebies. I don't mind whether it's temporary looking, it's about value for money and this...
