There is already an existing plan to build a station in this exact location on the Thameslink line. Work was due to start in summer 2023. But to date, nothing has happened: https://www.bedford.gov.uk/parking-roads-and-travel/strategies-and-major-projects/wixams-station/wixams-station-overview...

On the point of "who this competes with". I actually think Alton Towers could be the worst impacted, rather than the parks surrounding London. The parks around London are well located to attract domestic day trip visitors, and generally appeal to different demographics than a Universal Park...

So all these rumours/leaks have got me to come and log in here for the first time in a while! It's all quite exciting. While it's certainly a long way off being confirmed, it's quite mad that in the space of about 24 hours, this project has become more viable/realistic than the London Resort...

Hello Long time without posting here. But I did actually go to this park. Granted I would have been about 7 years old at the time so my recollection is limited. My memory of the place is probably limited to the following three recollections: There was very little to do, and we did not stay...

I am perplexed with the queue situation at Derren Brown I have to admit. The ride has 3 trains with 58 seats per train, but the queue moves like Tiny Truckers at times. I know a lot of headsets are out of action, but the majority are still being used. Anyways I know that capacity is the biggest...

The attraction is very popular with guests, it has successfully drawn a lot of people into the park. Queues topped 5 hours on busy days over Fright Nights this year. I was there to see that despite a 4 hour queue being advertised on the board, people still were happy to join the back of the...

I think it's fair to say the Friday show will be back next year. It was cut simply because attendance has been so disappointing, and last year the Friday show was not very popular. Based on this years much improved firework attendance, it will certainly be back next year. Towers were taken by...

I have been to Shocktoberfest at Tulley's farm every year for about 8 years. I can't speak for other local Halloween events, but I'm lead to believe Tulleys Farm is one of the better ones. And while it is good, Scarefest at Alton Towers is usually higher quality, and certainly better value...

Ferrari Land will be expensive, but it will sell upgrades/stand alone tickets no problem. As I mentioned earlier in the topic, Spanish people can normally be spotted walking around wearing Ferrari merchandise despite not owning a Ferrari, and will jump at the chance to take selfies in-front of...

Yeah that's what I mean, the smokey bit. Seems to go on for at least a minute too long but felt like an eternity! I half expected to take my headset off and see everyone else had got off the ride and I'd been left behind. Sorry to hear your VR was broken mine seemed to work as intended I think.

Glad to hear you agree. Just to make sure I'm not going crazy there is a bit where nothing happens for about 2m in the finale right? Or was something going wrong today? I just don't understand that whole part! I took my mask off because I thought maybe it was over or broken!

An even more interesting dynamic to the photo point problems then! When the manager came over she pretty much ordered them to send guests through without a photo being taken, which was met with some resistance before they relented and complied. The photo process takes far too long, the queue...

I managed to get to Thorpe Park for a couple of goes on the Ghost Train today. I have put some of my post in spoiler tags but overall it is "spoiler lite", I don't go into real detail. I find it quite frustrating as all the ingredients seem to be there for a great attraction, but little bits...

The waterfall is easy to find, we also went to see it in the spur of the moment. It is clearly signposted from the road when driving from Todtnau to Rust/Europa direction, and there is plenty of space to park on the roadside. This whole part of my trip, alpine coaster, and the village Todtnau...

Pretty unbelievable that this type of accident can even happen in the UK in the wake of The Smiler accident. There can be no screams of "human error" here... If the train was able to derail, the ride was not fit to be in operation. The park are fully liable and the future surely looks bleak...

This will hurt Towers just as confidence in rollercoaster riding in the UK was finally starting to improve again, Smiler comparisons in the press inevitable. Hope everyone is OK and injuries are minor only.

I think these are more commonly referred to as a "skycoaster". I went on one of the 300ft ones in Orlando, it was insane! Expensive though so sort of those "do it once" type experiences.

When I dined on Thursday evening 6 of the main items were "out of stock" effectively halving the menu selection. No communication from staff we just had to discover ourselves when we clicked on the items and it comes up with an "out of stock" message. It's a shame because I really enjoyed the...

That is totally mad. What a faithful and detailed recreation. Excellent work. I would personally have made it so the red eyes on the floor of the vault only trigger during the climax of the ride, as it worked originally but I guess this is an accurate representation of how it's been for many...

Haha agreed, once you've been on that, Colossus, Corkscrew, Baco, and anything else you can name seem tame. Can't believe after all these years it's even still operating. For the record, I also don't find Colossus to be particularly rough, just keep your head forwards and brace, like on plenty...
