My home park is Blackpool pleasure Beach, I would love to see a gerst bob on the old wild mouse/trauma towers site, failing that a GCI/gravity group woody on the bowlodrome site using the dead space behind too.

I disagree, it means the experience lacks the cohesion and immersion factor it once did, i remember going in 95/6 ish when i was a small kid, there were storm clouds brewing ahead rain lashing down. seeing the blood red water was genuinely terrifying and really made the coaster that much more...

every time i start to look forward to this I remember how naff the ride hardware is.

i mean yeah, why should poor people be allowed some escapism? shouldn't they be busy doing some form of manual labor. tut tut

The "ring of fire" effect on Valhalla is incredible when fully functional.

The idea of pre-booking has only been around since attendance was capped due to covid. who knows whether it will disappear again once things are back to "normal" for the times this pass is valid for "off peak" i've not had any issues booking tickets as close as the day of the visit with . And...

In my opinion its just a case of merlin operating the "south parks" on a shoestring in order to maximize profits. if you take duplo dino out of the equation: Thorpe park : 8 seasons no new coaster Chessington: 16 seasons no new coaster Legoland: 16 seasons without a "major" new coaster. The...

No, I agree it looks really out of place compared to the rest of the park aesthetics.

It doesn't really solve the affordability issue but i would love for someone to bring a truly winged train design to a hypercoaster, yes the space required would be Huge but i think the height would really lend itself well to the large swooping transition of a wing model.

Yep, Hopefully one of the independent uk parks is paying attention as it could quite easily put them back on the map!

1) Nemesis, a coaster actually worthy of the hype. Arguably one of the best of its kind which cant really be said for any other ride in the UK. 2) Wickerman, great theatrics and theming and being a modern wooden coaster completely unique on the UK scene. I wish it was bigger and bolder but that...

wow she's a thing of beauty.
