Technically the rides at the Legoland Discovery centres are trackless too. Cadbury's one looks very poor though so i think Harrington counts as the only good one.

I had 2 chapters. First time was as a young child, maybe 6 or 7, the one that stood out initially was Space Station Zero at Thorpe Park. I was terrified as had no idea what to expect and went on with my sister and grandad. Because we each needed an adult sitting with us a member of staff...

Thanks for the update! They annoyingly just updated the app so now you can no longer see ride openings/queue times unless you're on site. We were looking at May half term as hoped it would be quiet due to Belgians not having that school holiday afaik but think it'll more like be summer now...

Every time i've been they open the gates around 930am but most of the park is closed off for hotel guests till 10am

And being 10 years later there will be a generation of people who never saw/rode it. The complaints are from the perspective of an enthusiast, which is fine but from the park's point of view seems like a solid addition.

I believe that number is visitors to Orlando generally, not specifically Disney though i think it's fair to assume the vast majority will be visiting at least one of the parks. That's still tens of millions who do not visit, increased to hundreds of millions when you factor in European visitors...

Glad they listened to me ;)

Thanks for the review! Do you know what's going on with Huracan? It has been closed all week, was it open for your trip? We were hoping to visit in May and that's the main attraction but don't know if it's undergoing long term maintenance.

It's still a very popular ride though no? As we've seen with Nemesis, retheming a popular attraction seems to go down well with visitors. Plus constructing new rollercoasters at AT is a nightmare with the restrictions. Though i wonder if a launched coaster similar to Voltron could work in the...

How would Galactica realistically be themed to fit in? Track respray?

I was there yesterday, forgot there was talk of a new flat ride and wondered what was going on! Yeah did look a bit ugly, you think it wouldn't be too difficult to pop up some phalanx themed warning fences at least.

When are you going? Maybe see you there! I'm September 12th unless plans change. I think the worst thing will be if it opens a week later 😭

Heartbroken about this as i'm doing my only ever trip in early September. Though my Japanese friend informs me it actually says "second half of 2024" so there's a sliver of hope.

Compilation of clips showing the completed land and ride testing:

What with Hyperia having a 1.3m restriction it does seem the bar is increasingly lower for what kids can ride. Although equally it's basically just an extended Corkscrew from Alton Towers which was technically a 1.2m family coaster in 1980, even if it wasn't perceived as such relative to the...
