I wouldn't bank on horizon being '25 or '26. Regardless, I think X-Sector will see some more attention (in addition to a few little bits this year) in '25 but I wouldn't expect a full retheme.

I'd be amazed if these don't turn out to be the four airstreams they already have. There is a sizeable empty corner of x-sector this year near to the entrances and with great views of two major coasters. Makes perfect sense to fill it with temporary f&b options and seating for non-riders...

There have been four airstreams parked up, visible from Farley Lane, since before the end of last season. I would presume these are the four new units.

Guests are told to have their fastracks ready at the entrance, but they're not scanned until the merge point. RAP cards are marked at the entrance and checked again at merge.

The doors look to be on the wrong side in that promo video. How's that supposed to work? 🤔 Edit: Nope, I've looked and looked and can only conclude that they've rendered the gondolas the wrong way round

For me, this is because from the moment you enter the queue, The Smiler could be anywhere in the world (albeit somewhere damp). If you lift that ride up and plonk it down at another park, the experience is exactly the same. All of the other SW's use something about their environment to their...

Oblivions station also has scaffolding around it. Hearing that there has been a refresh of some elements after all, though I'm not sure to what extent.

The legs on that side aren't going to be matched and were never intended to be. I don't know the "artistic" intention behind it, but my best guess would be that the monster is in the process of transitioning. Mid-rebirth if you will. Fear not though, give it another thirty years and I'm sure...

I believe it was an rct3 joke

I still think Galactica will get a refresh/rebrand but I suspect it will come next year along with the new flat. Not based on anything concrete, but I heard a few rumblings about a retheme coming late last year and while nothing major looks to be happening yet, I also heard a ripsaw replacement...

Oblivion is hampered by operational changes over the years that have slowed it's throughput in favour of safety. I won't go into detail what all of those changes are, and I'm sure there are some I'm not aware of but if you look at earlier videos of it in operation, it's clear staff had far less...

I'm almost certain it's 7-10 November this year

I think it will either be a new nemesis emerging from the husk of old nemesis job, or a nemesis in the process of regenerating. One side will still be hidden beneath the gooey outer layer, while the other is exposed and lashing out.

I enjoyed last year's half term event and think this sounds like an improvement. It targets families with younger school age children, which is the logical and sensible market to pool your limited resources at that time of year into attracting. No complaints from me.

A little pedantic of me, but Hex and Skyride ARE being fixed, hence they've been closed, and submission was unfixable, it needed to burn. I'll give you the rest. I just don't get that vibe with the spa though, it just feels like it's something that's been coming for a while, that has perhaps...

I suspect @rob666 wasn't saying not to bother, rather that jet washing alone isn't enough.

Comments seem to confirm exactly what I said yesterday in the "water park closed" thread (not sure why I posted there rather than here), they hadn't informed guests with bookings until now! This isn't a decision that has just been made. Seems an odd and unprofessional way of going about the...

The Feb half term page has been updated and now has a little more information about what to expect from Battle Galleons, along with some interactivity in Sharkbait Reef. Alton Towers - February Half Term

I don't think could have gotten that description any more spot on in my previous post 😂 It looks great, I can't wait to see it in the flesh (or lack thereof) I think the one in front of it will be an even more impressive feature to walk beneath.

On a slight tangent, I've heard that the spa will not be reopening with the other facilities and I'm not sure that they have yet informed guests with bookings. No idea whether that is permanent, for an extended refurb or otherwise. Of course, take all of this with a pinch of salt.
