    What would YOU do if you ran towers for 5 years?

    Close the park for a year to allow for extensive TLC across the park and new theming enhancements and landscaping throughout. Reopen all SBNO rides. Relocate spinball to storage area behind Mutiny bay as headline attraction for the area & give new cannonball theme with indoor and outdoor...

    Towers Loving Care

    As far as I'm aware B&M enforce a minimum of 5 staff for the operation of their inverts. One on the main control panel, one on the dispatch position, and a further three ride hosts. Any additional staffing is up to the park. This is what I was told whilst working for HersheyPark though so may be...

    West Midlands Safari Park: General Discussion

    No problem, just searched on youtube and found this video too, however there doesn't seam to be that much posted online about it. Theres no mention on the WMSP website, and they've only put up one post on their Facebook page about it. Seams quite odd.

    2016: Theme Park Developments

    I would love to see a whole enclosed area to take the place of adventureland when spinball goes. Either expand Cbeebies Land or give it a new non IP theme. I'm thinking something along the lines of mayaland (Plopsaland) and Mermaid Lagoon (Disney Sea) with family/junior rides and some kind of...

    Sonic Spinball - 2014 and Beyond

    Been a long time watcher of the community without much input, however may as well start now. Better sooner then ever, anyway. There is a couple things about spinball that need to be changed, the theme, the noise and the reliability. All which could be majorly improved by something as simple as...

    2014: Family Developments

    Ok so here is my idea. It initially came about trying to find a better location for sonic, but then turned into a much larger extension of CCL. Im not sure if planning would even allow sonic to be relocated here but either way, this is my plan for SEGA street The expansion includes the...
