    Bobbejaanland: General Discussion

    In the odd circumstance, mainly where space for full launch run is limited, a multi-launch like this is necessary. Gale Force is a prime example of this. But with many coasters I get the impression it's there for marketing only and covers up the park's desire to save on paying for a more...

    The latter, sadly... It's such a boring gimmick. Looks great on paper but once you're on the ride it's just dull. Full Throttle's triple launch section really killed the pacing and added nothing to it for me.

    Hersheypark: General Discussion

    *blows the dust of the topic bumping stick* Just spotted a rather flooded Hersheypark and Knoebels on the RCCGB! o.o

    Knott's Berry Farm: General Discussion

    Well Thorpe and the PB have enough late openings to warrant this, and Adventure Island too for that matter! Retrofit Rage, tbh! ;) Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    Knott's Berry Farm: General Discussion

    I can only hope a UK coaster gets this light setup in the near future because it looks so spectacular! Looks like it'd suit Europa Park's Blue Fire too. Imagine the track illuminating just behind the train! :o Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    The Alton Towers Dungeon

    If I had a free Now TV box for every time an enthusiast says something like that on a forum, I could set up my own stand at the park entrance. :) Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    The Alton Towers Dungeon

    Given no details have been released, how would anyone know it won't be an upcharge? Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    The Alton Towers Dungeon

    It's all relevant because ultimately this is what justifies its installation in the first place. The park only offers coasters and kids rides currently, yet charges one of the highest gate prices in Europe. Combine this with some of the shortest hours in Europe of any major park and you have a...

    The Alton Towers Dungeon

    Of course, but then mazes are seasonal, not permanent attractions listed on the park map. Once the maze has run it's course of a few weeks it's removed. People will pay to visit a Dungeon perhaps once but after that there's no insensitive to return, rendering a big permanent attraction with next...

    The Alton Towers Dungeon

    Spoil sport! :rolleyes:;) Anyway, I'll point out the £4 / £5 extra it costs to do the Dungeons at Warwick. Would anyone welcoming this additional really justify that upcharge? That before a 2-4-1 or booking a few days in advance pushes your adult Towers ticket up to £60... *holds back vomit*

    The Alton Towers Dungeon

    But cheers for killing my joke anyway! :D Anyway, the topic. I hate the idea. It lacks both sense and creativity. Why, when the park are attempting to reduce staff by cutting single rider queues and baggage staff, would they then throw money at an attraction heavily reliant on staff? Given...

    The Alton Towers Dungeon

    Dimmingsdale Valley woodland, which is a couple of fields away from Dark Forest and the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory building, is currently on fire. This Dungeons idea might not happen after all... Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    Mini Meet Blackpool Pleasure Beach: Saturday, 18th February 2017

    I'll be there! Getting another pass so it'd be daft not to! Love me some Pirates of the Black Pool! :P

    Mini Meet Hyde Park Winter Wonderland (Dec 3rd - 4th)

    Having discussed with others going, we will now meet outside Hyde Park Corner tube station (across the road in the actual parkland area) OR the Winter Wonderland entrance itself (depending on how busy these areas are) at 3:00pm. Updated the first post to reflect this. :)

    Not long now until it's time! :D The main group will meet at the entrance for 12:30pm on the Saturday. Who's arriving when? :)
