The elements look great. It will of course speed up slightly by the time it opens. However, and without sounding like a broken record, watching a train go around really puts into perspective how little it actually does overrall. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

For any passholders who use the Friends and Family ‘discount’, be warned this now has the potential to not be a discount at all. I imagine this is as a result of the dynamic pricing. For example, F&F Ticket for 9th May is £34 but when booking directly on Towers website it is £30, therefore...

I’m sure the coaster is great for younger riders, but am I the only that thinks the entire presentation of the ride is an abomination? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Not really sure its appropriate to be naming and shaming someone on here for what is effectively their job? He seems to be an actor who just so happens to be an enthusiast. It’s cruel, uninvited and unfair. Realistically speaking its a tiny performance on a 32 inch screen in a queueline. Not...

Finally rode Nemesis Reborn the other day, dont really have a great deal to add that isn’t too different from everyone else’s opinions - The rattle is noticeable but I dont think it detracts from the ride experience - Speaking of ride experience, rattle aside I think it rides exactly as it did...

The CRR seem as though they are on the verge of opening for the bank holiday Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

If they removed Rita and replaced it with an Intamin multi launch, Dark Forest could have an energy akin to Toutatis area at Parc Asterix. It’s a relatively similar setting being a slightly wooded part of the park.

Can I ask, and I genuinely dont mean this in any way but curiosity despite how it may sound, but do you have a connection to the park or engineering as a whole? Your posts are informative and well detailed, but I wonder how you are able to say things with such certainty so often. Sent from my...

The problem with your last point is, after next Saturday (when the clock change), there really would be no opportunity for them to have after dark events until around Scarefest time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I think they are just trying to inject a bit of colour to the park. In theory I agree with the idea, but the execution isn’t too great on this. Would have been much less garish painted black. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Pretty certain that is the one! There were quite a few different models but I just distinctly remember the soldier. Thanks for the interesting post, shows just how much they recycle over the years. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Sadly no photos, it was quite a long time ago now so pre-dated smartphones! Toyland Tours was still open and they weren't of the same style so definitely didn't belong to that. The memory is engrained in my mind, spent a long time exploring in there as it was very exciting for a young geek to...

Thats awesome, I remember somehow accidentally finding my way in here many years ago. At the time there was lots of weird old stuff. Lots of old hotel records (check in papers etc), old fast passes and entrance tickets, theming and signage. I remember seeing all the old Energizer signage which...

I find sometimes this has been the problem with Towers. Their themes and ideas can be quite outlandish and convoluted, to the point where it is quite difficult to understand what they are trying to communicate without some sort of explanation beforehand. Sometimes I think we mix up the branding...

Merlin do seem to like borrowing ideas these days, I wouldnt be mad if they refreshed Oblivion to be more like its Italian sister in theme. An X-Sector themed to a load of crazy experiments would be quite unique, inject a little less gloom into the park and differentiate it a bit more from...

They appear to have updated the T&C’s confirming photos can be taken on a smartphone only, and looks as though its for both Oblivion & Wicker Man. According to posts on X, people who did the walks before this change of policy have reported that Towers have invited them back to do it again...

Would be interesting to see whether Covid did actually effect any investments. Phantasialand always seem to take their time and do few and few bar between. When I went in 2017 some Fly track and theming was already installed. Its the reason I didnt visit again until 2023. Sent from my iPhone...

Meanwhile at Phantasialand… From: https://www.instagram.com/p/C4vgbmVoMeN/?igsh=MTZzdzA1NmUwN2xnZQ== It would appear there is absolutely no reason for them to be doing this, yet they just do it anyway. Kind of amusing considering we have pages of discussion over things like an old Jeep...

Just sounds like they are trying to figure out some of the issues while its a quiet weekday, I wouldnt worry! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I like the soundtrack but from what I’ve heard it seems like there is a lot less of the original score and much more ambient sounds, which is sort of disappointing. All looks good though and probably serves as a reminder for next time, not to pre-judge based on drone shots! Sent from my iPhone...
