Yeah I've done it too and it really is good. I'd like to give the high ropes course a go next time I visit as that wasn't there when I last visited a few years ago.

The high ropes are pretty good, went on with two of my friends but one had to come down early because she was too scared, we also enjoyed the golf as well!

It seems a slightly odd investment capacity wise but hey ho. Guessing it will be permanent.

Well the concept art shows a row of four seats, so maybe this one will seat 4 riders instead of 2? We'll have to wait and see though.

Did you get there last week @Skyscraper ?

I did indeed, but it was a day to forget. I won't go into detail on here, but the only positive was I got on Spinning Racer and really enjoyed it. Didn't get on any of the other coasters. I do wish I hadn't gone there in the first place. (wasn't the park's fault, I must clarify)
Dreading Southend this week beause of it.

Sorry to hear that. I can imagine Ingoldmells is horrific at the height of summer, and probably extra awful this year.

I’m off there next Monday for the very first time and this is not a comment I wanted to read!

Yeah be warned that it will be absolutely packed! Definitely get there early if you can. And check the windspeed as Milennium, Odyssey and Spinning Racer will all shut in moderate winds, along with the Starflyer.
 
Also @IDB, don't miss the small indoor rides inside the pyramid building (Toucan Tours, Seaquarium, Balloons, Dragon Mountain Descent and Treetop Heights). They are hidden gems and definitely worth doing. :)
Millennium's entrance is in there as well.
Plus Spinning Racer may not return next season so you might want to do that early on.

Really selling it to me. I’m in Skegness Sunday night, so will take a trip over Monday morning. If it’s that’s bad I’ll just rearrange and go a quieter day.
 
Visited for the first time today. What a strange place! Can ride a coaster and then buy a carpet, air rifle and samurai sword from the market.

Odessey is one of the smoother SLC's but still have me a headache. Every single one of these should upgrade to the vest restraints and they'd be excellent. First stop into the loop is incredible. It was windy and rainy all day so was lucky to get on it really.

Millennium was alright, it's surprisingly forceful in places and very smooth.

Spinning Racer is good fun.

Just about got on the star flyer before it closed due to the wind.

The indoor area is quite nice, Guardian was closed (has it opened yet?) and the other new ride was behind construction walls.

Food options were pretty good, lots of big northern comfort meals available. This southern softy had a huge slab of cottage pie with chips and gravy.

Won't be back in a hurry tbh it's a bit of a dump.
 
Also just made my first visit! We were due to spend a whole day there yesterday, but popped in on Sunday afternoon beforehand whilst passing just to scope it out. Odyssey, Star Flyer and Spinning Racer were all in the process of shutting, presumable due to the weather. We then got lost in the terrible market which brought us out by Magic, where we witnessed the slowest operations I’ve seen on a ride. Most other rides also seemed to have queues, but were in no rush to operate. As Millennium looked still to be operating we decided just to pay the £5 each to ride it and then do something else the following day. On a positive note we did think the inside of the Pyramid was very nice.
 
A mate visited today and says that Spinning Racer is no longer at the park.

Can anyone confirm? If so where has it gone?
 
That's odd

That's odd. It's still listed on the website though. Glad I got to ride it recently then if it's true!

Could it be coming to Hyde Park Winter Wonderland maybe?
