Towers finally responded to my trip advisor review and said they thought the idea of refillable slushies was a good idea. Much better in the hot weather than fizzy pop

Now, whether that will come a reality is another thing entirely. You know what Towers are like @Snagglemama...

It's a good idea though, I must admit.

Yeah I guess
I visited Wonderland last year and refillable slushies were a very premium product, but they were definitely a product and by the looks really popular You may be onto a winner.

As unlikely as this is, I had a dream that I think could reinvent the whole of Smiler.
It started with thinking about the flooding issues and general lack of experience in the queue. And I thought that maybe some of the queue issues, mainly the flooding, could be solved by a canopy.
Imagine a circus style tent, starting low at the knot, rising over the marmaliser and extending over the lower sections of the first drops. At every point the track entered or exited the canopy is a hole so that the trains emerged and dived back into the canopy. Add a bit of smoke and plenty of disco lights and I think the experience would be better inside and outside the canopy.
I know I'm a dreamer, but imagine.

As it's essentially ice and colouring. Would help with hydration issues when it's hot

Would have been cheaper to buy a new one and get it open this year

Would think the amount of tone and man hours finding parts. Installing them. Making them fit.
More cost effective to buy a new on. Then at least they have a brand new ride and not a 30 year ond ride with a few new parts on it that will in all likelihood need more new / second hand parts next year and the year after and the year after until they end up buying a new on anyway.

@bluesonichd I think effort throughout the season hasn't been particularly full on - the ride has essentially been in a start/stop winter maintenance phase when closed.
Elements of that thing will be 30+ years old - some items last forever, but there's a bit of Trigger's broom when it comes to any flat ride. A good number of components were replaced not that long ago.
Who knows!

i think CCL needs some brand new rides and maybe not IP rides as they don't seem to last long, we need more flat rides also everyone seems to be ignoring the fact that we have two and only one thrilling one, they need to do CCL refurb and focus on getting some flats in.
