Pleasurewood Hills

Refurbishing their star asset before the park dies and it gets moved to Drayton?

Do I see that happening or would it be West Midlands Safari Park instead? They used to have a boomerang years ago.

I think Wipeout is too similar to Accelerator for a move to Drayton. Marble Madness would be the ride that Drayton will likely get if PHW goes.

The height atm is 1.4 isn’t it? Be interesting if it comes down with the new Trains

It’s 1.3 on the site currently.

It's a 1.3m at current - I checked Walibi Rhone-Alpes and that's also 1.3m so there will likely be no change to the requirements with the lapbars.

I believe that the actual height restriction for Boomerangs, using the US imperial measurements, is 1.22m but parks in Europe tend to round it up to 1.3, or at least 1.25m. When it operated at American Adventure however, the height restriction was 1.22m.

I'm in the area on their opening weekend, but is three weeks enough to get the new train on the track and tested? Not sure I'd bother visiting if it wasn't operating.

Those look like similar restraints to those fitted to Teststrecke. They were "acceptable" on a Schwarzkopf with only vertical loops. Not sure I'd pick them for a Jerkoma Boomerang though.

I still maintain that Cannonball express is the monster underrated family coaster in the UK though the throughput is crap due to there only being one train

I highly doubt it will be running, I don't expect marble madness to be either and my doubts on the drop tower...

Go to yarmouth pleasure beach, much better atmosphere and line up

Can’t understand why a small park like Pleasure wood can have its coasters re painted but Drayton’s 3 coaster re-themes have been left unchanged.

Hmm... I'd completely understand for the Wave and Accelerator but for Jormungandr, I'd be honest and say it's on it's way out in the not too distant future.

For Jormungandr I think it would have cost over a 6 figure sum to re theme that train and then they did the station building. They could have easily painted the track in house

Can't say I enjoyed those sunkid restraints on the boomerang at Walibi Rhone Alpes.

 

[Enter Valhalla]

Are these the same restraints that are used on the Boomerang at Vienna Prater? I went on it as a single rider on the front row, the ride op sent it with the restraint next to me still up all the way, which I didn’t even think was possible on a coaster with inversions.
