I think with certain modern coaster train designs there is now no need for inverted coasters since for many people their feet are already dangling off the ground. See for example newer B&M sit down trains and floorless designs, Icon's trains or Lost Gravity. I think the overhead track and...

Can just picture the Billy Connolly-esque voice over of the Planet Coaster console edition once you delete Hero: "So yea finally did it, aye yea finally deleted the one ride that was a pile of pish and nobody liked all along. A mighty congratulations is in order my dear sir!"

The financials of the various companies registered to Companies House don't paint a good picture for sure.

Shame you had a poor-ish Saturday CrashCoaster. I've found the GP to be quite varied in Blackpool. When busy (and only on Saturdays it seems) it can be the worst out of all the parks I've done. Bad operations are then truly a disaster. I've witnessed vandalism myself. Little girls peeling off...

Both parks have strengths and weaknesses but I've spent more time in Blackpool over the last 3 years than in Alton Towers so I have to say Blackpool Pleasure Beach. The atmosphere on a hot day is superb, especially when it's busy and you can watch from one of the balconies in the Big Blue...

Just read something similar. This is very sad for the industry. Seems Paultons now leads the way for roller coaster construction & roller coaster openings in the UK.

Iron Maiden was formed by Steve Harris who got his first bass guitar in.... 1971 :oops:

What is it with Merlin only going for new IPs for their two biggest theme parks created by men born in 1971? Charlie Brooker, Derren Brown, David Walliams. I sense a conspiracy. I also sense a lack of inspiration from Merlin as I'd rather see original themed stuff which the parks have...

I wonder if there will be easy access from that hotel plonked in the middle of the park area.

The new area and rides look superb. Very impressive.

Also is the park map price only at Chessington and not at Thorpe and Towers? What kind of "Environmental friendly" logic is that anyway.

Used to be quite common to pay for toilets in The Netherlands. I remember Efteling had that about 13-14 years ago. Pretty sure it has all been done away with in theme parks at least. Much rather pay higher entry fee than all that kind of stupid nonsense. Regardless, change / coins is a thing of...

Thorpe Park could do with being energy independent after the power cuts we have seen.

I'm sure I read Efteling are looking to install solar panels across the entire car park. Would be good to see parks promote the use of metal water canisters far more along with water fountains and/or coke refill machines, rather than the constant plastic bottle stuff. Has to be one of the...

Looks impressive. The landscaping always seems great at Paultons from photos and vlogs I've seen. Perhaps the best in the UK.

Isn't it just the back of the Walking Dead / X building? Really wonder what the future holds for Thorpe Park. It seems really bleak what's going on.

Absolute pile of trash. Sticking some photos of Derren Brown, David Walliams and Charlie Brooker on a dart board sounds like more fun.

Nope not saying that at all, those scenes make a mockery of businesses which continue to suffer and even when they can finally open will have guests acting far more responsibly + all the covid measures they had to put in place. Some people seem to think social distancing and mask wearing will...

Brave Nottingham youngsters practicing social distancing: Meanwhile the gardens at Alton Towers (re-opened yesterday) looked deserted going by TPW's vlog. Utterly pointless for businesses to continue to suffer.

I've heard that from the govt and from that perspective it makes sense. Personally I don't think it will happen and we will still be wearing masks / social distancing. Hope I'm wrong but the increase in cases / variants in other parts of the world I think will be used as an excuse "it's just...
