Cobra when I went in July that was the 1st time I been on that since my 1st visit in 2014 and in that time the coaster has become very rough. Hopefully with its re-theme for the 2026 season this can be sorted out.
Interesting. I just had a look on the app (13:15 on half term Thursday) and the longest queue is 15 mins. Cobra is only 10.
Very surprising considering how busy it sounds to have been yesterday. Is something special about Wednesdays? The weather has been the same both days.
Yeah, just had a look myself at the app and it seems back to normal for Paultons today. Member of staff we spoke to yesterday said they were sold out today, but not sure about that looking at the queues. We chose the wrong day to visit by the looks of it .Interesting.

Everything is whimsical now, it's come out of nowhere to be enthuasiasts word of choice in 2024. I'm hoping that this wave of whimsicalness sticks around long enough until whenever it will be that Thorpe get a new attraction so we have something with a whimsical apocalypse or whimsical serial killer theme.The art style for this dark ride is delightfully whimsical.
I blame that Willy Wonka scam.Everything is whimsical now, it's come out of nowhere to be enthuasiasts word of choice in 2024.
But it is the definition whimsical. Just look at the character design of Doctor Kinley.Everything is whimsical now, it's come out of nowhere to be enthuasiasts word of choice in 2024.

"playfully quaint or fanciful, especially in an appealing and amusing way."But it is the definition whimsical. Just look at the character design of Doctor Kinley.
It's a tad cartoony, that's where the playfulness is coming from. In other teasers and artwork of this character, he doesn't look stern or menacing, rather he has a very friendly face, a playful moustache (it is colonial but there are many playful depictions of men from that era including in Disney animated films and dark rides) and is holding a very steampunk looking blaster. It's a fantastical, spooky blaster attraction set during the colonial era like many classic adventure films and a number of past attractions are."playfully quaint or fanciful, especially in an appealing and amusing way."
His render looks like a pretty stereotypical colonial explorer to me.
I don't think there's many who would describe imperial colonialism as "playfully quaint" or "appealing".
