This baffles me too. I took my wife and sister in-law a few years ago and they both had to spend a good 15-20 minutes in each arcade we passed. I'll never understand it. I thought we paid to enter somewhere unique and ride their multi-million pound machines, not play on penny-pushers we can find...
A Nebulaz is just a ride for the spectator, it would fall into the same category as Submission with both sides working.
They need something like Ripsaw that was thrilling for the rider as well as fun to watch.
Rumour has it, a few hours ago Towers staff were poised over the pool under the loop with a pair of scissors and several bags of red dye… then quickly packed them away as this story broke.

I like anything that’s taken effort, even if it’s something small someone might notice subconsciously during their day. They all add up. This ticks that box.
“Here’s a further look at the brand new Alton TowersResort Map, which is also the world’s first fully 3D rendered theme park map”
So on the new app we’re gonna be able to pinch, zoom and swoosh around a 3D map? Possibly animated from looking those screenshots? Awesome idea 🙂
One of my favourite pieces of theming in Forbidden Valley was the tentacle/slime themed signpost attached to a tall rock just by the Skyride. Small, but effective and an effort towards immersion.

“Sir, we found a mini shipping contai…”
“PAINT IT BLACK AND SLAM THE THING DOWN!”
I made the same first-time (and only 😥 ) trip (albeit from Leeds) with relatively little experience in 2017. I can answer some questions and throw in extra info.
We did Manchester - Basel (Swiss side, if that's relevant) and hired a car. It was a doddle, and by far the cheapest option.

I know it's cold, and I know they all start slowly.... but...
(and this may be a baseless generalisation) I get the feeling that tolerances for g-forces on new coasters (as far as the manufacturers are concerned) are less than they were 30 years ago.
Through a combination of wheel compounds...
Selfishly, my attitude towards an opening date is the same as it it towards release dates for upcoming games. I don't care if I have to wait longer if it mean's they need the time to get it right.
Then again, that's no good for anyone planning a trip in advance for opening day, and it's...
I think there’s a chance that, from the original queue by the station just before you enter, the helicopter will look fine. Sort of a forced perspective thing.
From the air, that outcrop on which it sits looks huge, but from the queue I’ve always admired how precarious it looks. Putting a...
