It's so nice to have a park in the UK that actually gives a sh!t about what it's doing. It looks brilliant from that photo!
Paultons is a park that will probably maintain those cars. A lot of parks put cars in as cheap but quality theming, but then leave them to rust and overlook basics like inflating the tyres!
Nemesis tank, Congo river rapids Land Rover, jeep by the "Vimto" waterfalls in Blackpool spring to mind.

Yeah it's a Discovery Revolution 30. I believe it will have two cycles, inverting and non- inverting.Apologies if I have missed this, but is the frisbee a Discovery Revolution? If so will it invert or not, given the audience?

It won't invert. Confirmed to reach 120degrees (i read somewhere anyway) . Whilst the model technically can, the counterweight isnt long enough to complete the whole inversion. They would have to replace this before it could do a 360.
**disclaimer, just opinion... Could be wrong. There have been multiple testing videos including some with staff and none have inverted.

Looks a bit Thorpey to me.
Nah, this one is actually themed.

Please no! There is nothing more frustrating than sitting on what should be a balls-to-the-wall thrill ride.... slowly oscilating back and forth like you are on a playground swing being pushed by your gran.I'd Iike to see them run it like Ramese was, a kiddie cycle and a 360 cycle for those who want to stay on for it or at certain times.

It's a family theme park. It'd be for... y'know, families?

I'm thinking that'll be the only option without a split intensity set up of some sort!

You know as well as I do that "family" includes people of all ages and tastes.It's a family theme park. It'd be for... y'know, families?

Given your definition of family is "edible humans" or "item of food", I wouldn't say our thoughts align on that one.

At the risk of going off topic here, I have to ask: At what point in my plans for world domination and mass culling of idiots have I given any indication that I plan to eat my own family...?Given your definition of family is "edible humans" or "item of food", I wouldn't say our thoughts align on that one.
