haha, i live like 2 minutes down the road from Wicksteed Park!! Refering to Bens post, Well my sister worked there a couple of years ago.. I think it maybe 3 years ago, and the word was going all around the staff. So i think wicksteed had this planned for a couple of years now. I am personally surprised they have the funds.

the pieces of the flume seem way too big for the travelling ones, went on a travelling one on wednesday and most of the pieces for it were tiny.

So was it new?

Seems a waste if it was, well you can them Wild River flumes, which have 2 drops and take up hardly any space, compared to this..!
