Paultons Park: General Discussion

I meant large scale rides like a Hyper, Mack Launch coaster or Multi Launch

Still not convinced that planning permission would ever allow Paultons to build anything nearly as tall as a hyper. It is in an area of considerable natural beauty.

Good job the focus is very much on the family market, with the odd family-thrill ride.

Fortunately modern coaster technology means height is less relevant than ever as big thrills can be achieved by other means… if you have the budget.

Just read in first drop magazine that EDGE is going to be put into storage and then rebuilt elsewhere in the park. I haven't heard that before. Any ideas where it could go?

Probably not possible but Plopsaland have theirs going across the second entrance so you walk under it which is really nice. Not sure where the second Paultons entrance will be.

Basically I’m trying to manifest Paultons to become our Plopsa. Ok Drakon isn’t quite Anubis but 2027 will DEFINITELY (maybe) be their Ride to Happiness.

That would make more sense than it being left in Valgard. If it’s left there, it’ll just look strange and out of place.

I’m not sure where it would go, mind you, but I like the idea of relocation more than it staying where it is.

Could be the similar thing Kobra is getting at Chessington.

Find Edge actually the weakest of the large scale Disko. Especially in comparison to Thor and Kobra

My guesses would be either the space behind Farmyard Flyer between the carpark as it's flat and relatively clear.

They could also plonk it where the old log flume was which would make more sense. I think the ride will be gone in the next 2-3 years so I can't imagine wanting to spend too much to relocate it
 
Magma is rumoured to be going to another park correct?

What’s the logic in a park ditching a functioning attraction? It can’t be the upkeep of maintenance as a smaller park would surely struggle more? It’s not like it’s an ancient ride either, why not retheme it and increase capacity further?

Personal opinion but I think its likely going to Crealy given their hint for their next ride is a drop tower.

Also Paulton's already has two other Drop Towers similar to Magma in Tornado Springs. so is a bit redundant and maybe the removal of Magma is to make way for bigger and more high capacity rides

Not rumoured; it was confirmed at the Super Fans event that it would be moving to another UK park. They just haven't said which one yet.

It was having a fair few issues lately though, plus the park deserves better quality rides than SBF Visa now.
