Paultons Park: General Discussion

This keeps being mentioned like it means anything at all. He has no idea what has been guessed across scores of forums and Facebook posts all over the Internet. How could he? At the very most it could be hinting at something less common so less guessable.

I believe it was more a "no one has correctly guessed the manufacturer [in conversation with me today]".

Who knows though? He has a track record. Well, one track, according to me. Others think I'm being silly or disingenuous.

I still think a Maurer X-Train or Spike Coaster isn't beyond the realms of possibility though.
 
re: magma

If you relocate magma to LK, presumably the volcano facade wouldn’t be movable, therefore they’d just be moving a generic drop tower, at which point it may as well stay put and be rethemed

I’d imagine they’re covered by the same GDO rights as many UK parks, wherein they can build without permission up to a height of 25m (82ft).

It’s above that that I wasn’t sure about. The site is green belt, is it not?

Paultons Park is part of the New Forest National Park so any developments will need to respect that.

Any developments that are above 25m will require planning permission which would be more difficult to obtain considering the area, neighbours and the fact Paultons Park had a massive fight years ago in that area to keep Cobra and Edge due to the land not being designated under the GDO at the time as amusement park but as country park. I understand the designation has now been changed with a successful planning application.

I believe this statement is open to interpretation and probably meant to rule out the likes of Mack, Vekoma and Zierer. It could've been said as a way to say "We're not bringing in an RMC" which was guessed by fans multiple times before and afterwards.

I believe we may have correctly guessed the manufacturer already to be honest as it's looking like it's either Intamin or Gerstlauer that are the top bets. Even at the time of the statement.

It's very unlikely to be B&M although stranger things have happened.

Interesting. Is there an article that suggests this somewhere and please could you link to it? :)

Hmm, I'd certainly like to see something that confirms it as there has been a couple of people on different forums claiming this and stating their source is that they work at the park without anything to prove it.

The things mentioned that are consistent is Magma leaving and that there is supposed to be a Water Coaster in 2027.

I'll link an example below.

I'm not doubting the users but I'm sceptical without any proof. I'm also not sure whether the park would share future plans with employees such as the rides team without at least a confidentiality agreement considering that this is commercially sensitive.

I think the best thing is to wait until Saturday for the park to show off the Vikings area plans and we'll know for sure what's happening.
 
One thing I have always wanted to know with Paultons Park and other parks with their park railway do they have their own dedicated maintenance trains like a truck or flatbed to move sleepers and ballast to respective spots
