Much appreciated and a nice easy improvement

Someone probably realised they'd been paying £25 a week for years on end, for a skip to sit there doing nothing :D Looks a lot better, now we await the gap in the wall where you can see the old monorail carriages to be blocked off and the rock work repaired!
 
The departed Gallopers will operate at Apple Jack’s Adventure Farm in Warrington this year presented by North-West Funfairs.
 
We finish this week with the base of Ice Blast (as the sign calls it) still in scaffolding.

The colours are growing on me, particularly the white. I'm hoping the ride car will be in white too.

There isn't a flag at the top anymore, unless there's a crafty way of getting one back up there

Fantastic news. Love the graphic. Nearly £9m though?! Is that the going rate for flats these days? I hope it’s good value for money o_O

When I first heard the price, I'd hoped that it was possibly a brand new custom-built gyro swing that would be taller than all of the others available elsewhere - but, according to the spec sheet, it looks like it might be identical to Loke.

I have no idea why the overall cost is so high (besides ground-work, et cetera); part of me wonders if there might be a second ride included as well (as part of Project 2026), but I am probably wrong.

Although the ride itself will cost a pretty penny, it'll be the total cost of the project, some of which will be for the ride. Legal fees, installation fees, marketing fees, design fees, any ground / preparation / construction costs, theming, fees associated with testing and commissioning, initial health and safety inspections etc.

It’s great they are trying to navigate the bad press with a statement but when you advertise tickets that either aren’t available on the website or cost more that two separate tickets it does more harm than good. The Nickelodeon ticket isn’t even available for main Easter week. The £62 two day pass is also not on sale. But it’s only £30 for one day so pointless anyway. It is on sale for this weekend but for £72 when an adult tickets is £35. So again pointless. They really need to sort this out and fast if they want a good season as they are doing more harm than good at the minute

The £49 two day Nickelodeon pass is none extant for any day but with only a pound saving what’s the point really - assuming you can actually buy a one day pass
