    Potential New Universal UK Park

    You navigate 1 roundabout to go south from the A421. Not that it matters because you're right, the junction often experiences tailbacks during moderate to heavy traffic. They've recently amended where the A421's sliproad meets Salford Road - now traffic coming off the A421 doesn't have to give...

    Potential New Universal UK Park

    Is Dr Who a famous IP like others featured at Universal parks? Unless I’m mistaken, aren’t most IPs at Universal parks world famous/recognisable. I imagine the park will do its upmost to appeal to international travellers so will only include IPs that are very well known. I think James Bond...

    Sort Thread By Most Liked

    Hey I wondered if it was possible to add a function to be able to sort a thread into order of most liked posts? For myself it can be quite overwhelming if a thread has 50+ pages (I'm not likely to sit here and read it all), being able to sort by most liked would allow me to read the most...

    Potential New Universal UK Park

    Always comes down to money and a willingness to spend. I don't think they should look to compete with Universal by bringing in IPs - it will never be executed well enough. Let Universal do Universal. Merlin should take a leaf out of Phantasialand's book. I think the easy answer is to say Merlin...

    Potential New Universal UK Park

    I drive on the A421 daily to work and during rush hour it can be hellish. I can't see it being able to deal with the added demand that a property like Universal would bring. Even M1 Junction 13 (which was upgraded 5 years ago) is an absolute mess and frequently encounters tail backs on adjoining...

    Potential New Universal UK Park

    I live about a mile away from the proposed site. It was exceptionally strange to be watching Theme Park Stop's video about the development (I watch their content regularly to keep to up to date with Epic Universe) and to see my house in the aerial view of the proposed site. This site has been...

    27 May Visit - First Time in a While

    I used to post quite often on this forum about 10 years ago. Haven't been to the park in a while. I thought I'd share my thoughts of the day. We travelled for 2+ hours to visit the park and made good time - arriving for 10am. I'm one of those that gets a bit anxious if I'm not there as early as...

    Quick Questions

    Oblivion has been showing as closed on the app for a few days now - not sure how accurate that is. Sad to hear Hex won’t be open!

    Quick Questions

    I know the answer to this is probably readily available elsewhere so apologies in advance. What’s the reason for Oblivion and Hex currently being closed?

    At what point will they admit defeat and give up on this absolutely ridiculous VR nonsense?

    Drayton Manor Park - Splash Canyon Incident

    I find it strange how precious people are about the ride in it's current form (I.e. without restraints). Since this incident has happened I've thought how insane it is that something like this hasn't happened sooner. When dealing with the general public you can not assume everyone will do as...

    The Sinking Ship: (Un)Love Letters to Merlin

    I'm pretty much over the UK theme park scene to be honest. My last few visits to Thorpe Park have been a shambles. You get the feeling guest happiness is the last thing on their minds - the main focus being economising the experience to save as much money as possible to the detriment of...

    Surely something like this would work better with a ride that has a dual station?

    2016: The Smiler Reopening

    At least the Guardian knows how to report. That being said, it really reinforces how most of the other articles on these trash websites are probably just as fabricated, it's only because we know so much about the subject matter that this one stands out in particular.

    Rollercoaster Restaurant: General Discussion

    Of course it's premium when you compare it to the other offerings within the park, that's pretty much a non statement. It's not premium though. Not even close.

    Rollercoaster Restaurant: General Discussion

    Does anyone else hate the logo for the restaurant? PS why do any of you believe the food is premium? Have you ever eaten anywhere other than a Wetherspoons before?

    What if Merlin sold off Alton Towers?

    http://ec.europa.eu/competition/mergers/cases/decisions/m4615_20070426_20310_en.pdf This is the competition commission's report regarding the acquisition of Tussauds by Merlin. Interesting read.

    Are the weekday closures causing any issues? I.e. People showing up when the park is close?
