Both PWH and LWV need to be looking at budget manufacturers many of which provide a wide variety of coasters without the heavy price tag. I'd love to see a modern Vekoma at PWH but is suspect even that may be beyond Thier budget
 
Yet i dont think the current ownership are looking much beyond a 5 year plan at the moment, this is most likely last chance saloon for pwh and stokes will wanna see if its worth investing...so far with nothing new on the horizon ( yet ) and a unique ride down ( again) its not the best start to a season after what was a shocking 2025 season as it is !
 
Old Schwarzkopfs kill themselves with every ride, there is a reason it's the last one in the UK and most vekomas are still running years later or get killed off for being too dull.

Do we know which spinning coaster is most likely to arrive at PWH, or has it been confirmed? Is it going to be Crash Test?

I forgot about this until today, but that new Spinning Racers coaster announced for LWV a couple weeks back looks insane. Kinda looks like some kind of miniature version of Spinball Whizzer. Genuinely the kind of ride I would probably go on several times per visit. I don't mean to hate, but Crash Test looks like it pales in comparison, and I wish PWH could get that kind of spinning coaster.


On the topic of food, I realise that McDonald's is right outside but that shouldn't be their reason for not putting more thought into food places. I'm sure they used to have like 10+ food places in total and now they have like 7? I think they specifically need to focus on the farmyard area as that bit of the park only has one food outlet - which doesn't exactly have the most exciting menu going.
Does anyone remember why they closed down that large restaurant? It's a play area now and has been for several years. I don't remember the menu but seem to recall it having the most variety out of all outlets on the park.
Also, the indoor seating for the Smokey Joe outlet is weird. I don't know if it was always like this but I went last year and you basically have to order your food outside, then walk around to get to the seating. You can tell they used to have an opening that presumably allowed you to order food from within that room but I guess they closed that at some point.

Point being, I don't just want them to focus on rides - there are other areas they need to think about too. Do we think they'll be doing anything with these this season? Maybe old food outlets getting reopened?
 
The original capones coffee restaurant on main street which later became burgers and is now smokey Joe's ( which was the name of the old food unit for the bbq ) had counters only inside and people would then move to eat there too rather than the odd set up now .

Hungry bears food restaurant was removed too and lots of other outlets have too over the years.

I guess folk bringing their own food in, using tesco and now most recently McDonald's, has seen it difficult for them to compete and its down to price at the end of the day

Use to be a fish and chip shop/counter at end of main street that was just boarded over. Countless food and drinking units removed park wide

Less than 3 weeks to go to park open, no permission yet for the 4 new rides so they will likely arrive April into may yet there is objections so far. The only ride on site is the wheel, not constructed.

Dissapointing to know the season will start with nothing new, again.... folk will expect to see the new rides yet i fear they are still way off
 
By the way seen Rootin Tootin has had a major upgrade all effects and anamitronics fixed. And some repaired from the hobs pit days and they are putting 5 cars on it

Could well become a UK top dark ride with these changes

Each to their own, but I think that’s maybe taking it a bit far for my own tastes.

It’s not a bad ride by any means, and it is really good to see that they’re upgrading it, but I think it will likely still pale in comparison to something like Curse on the national scale.

That’s not to say it even needs to compare nationally, but I think that comparison maybe overhypes the ride a touch myself.

One thing I do remember about it is that it offered no way of viewing your scores… which I found made the interactivity feel a little bit pointless!

There was a screen at the exit to the ride (that is actually behind you as you walk out so very easy to miss).

Yeah. The UK once had another identical Maurer spinning roller coaster like Spinning Racer at Camelot Theme Park where it was known as Whirlwind. It closed with the park in 2012 and went to Germany.
