Lightwater is easily the most obvious one, but I also believe North Shield's Wet and Wild fits their bill perfectly. Would also suspect Twinlakes and Wheelgate. The pattern seems to be parks with potential, but either funding issues, or historic underachievement. The likes of Drayton and...

Ages since I have bothered to do a trip report, so as such will keep it brief. Pictures are in no real particular order, but hopefully tell the tale, not least because my camera hated the low light. It was an odd day; for all of the focus on the smiler, the park felt somehow subdued, and...

It was for magic shows, and bizarrely a maze, where youngsters would sit on hay-bales, and be entertained by Magic Marc. The theatre is actually pretty decent, and if you are curious as to what it looks like, I think there is a clip of it on Valley Mania's Youtube channel, on the history of...

Re: Re: Lightwater Valley it's even more hidden than that - it's in the area where the toilets are when you have paid your entrance. It's near the lockers. Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

We settle for second best far too readily in the UK. I don't have a huge problem with Flamingoland, and compared to what it was in the late eighties, it has come on in leaps and strides. Truth of the matter is though, when you work in a customer facing industry, service is king. 1.4m people...

Because the lack of effort is endemic.

Come 5pm, and they may as well put up a big sign saying 'NOW GET OFF OUR LAND.' Flamingoland, where they give you as much as love as they do their rides.

Thing is though, most visitors will go by website and leaflet picture and adverts (if they bother to update them...) and all they will see is something that looks a little like air, and a spinning coaster. Whether they return having ridden is an entirely different matter. Both rides look...

Whatever way you look at it, the tree new rides are unique and crucially marketable. If AT installed either, it would be hugely criticised, but as FL neither have a flying coaster or spinner, it adds to their portfolio. remember, most people who visit themeparks are oblivious to manufacturers...

Thing is FL reveal their rides in jan/feb, and open middle of the year. Something to me implies something that will take a bit of time to build, which makes sense if the rumours about the wild mouse leaving are true.

Top 5 Megadrive Games 1. Sensi - there was nothing like playing as a team of crisp flavours, taking Europe by Storm 2, Landstalker - Zelda, squared. Fun, clever, almost, at times, not unlike head over Heels, but completely forgotten. 3. Virtua Racing. Not a fan back then of racing games, but...

Simple one list your top five games of the category set by the previous poster, in as heartfelt, basic or amusing style as you like, and then set the following poster the challenge of another top 5. for example: Top 5 games that were years ahead of their time: 1. The Great Escape (spectrum) -...

It's the code from the first post, not the one mid through the first page. I'm in with Monkey Magic FC. Hart/ Reina Lescott, Cayhill, A Cole, Johnson, Walters, Fellaini, Hoolahan, N'Zogbia Chamakh, Bent R Taylor, Ben Arfa, Sturridge EDIT: sod it - I've already decided to swap defoe for...

Re: flamingo land Flamingoland itself is a silly name. ??? I like Flamingo Land, but I just cant love it. Why? Because Flamingo Land doesn't love me. Or anyone. Visit Chessie, or LWV, and you feel like people are aware that you are there to have a good time, and will do their level best...
