We were in the 2nd and 3rd row’s air gates when it broke down, so definitely us. The rest ditched me to ride something else, I stayed, they started testing the second they left the station. 🙈😂 There’s been quite a few little niggles today, and ride availability issues… Not something I’ve...

Turntable has it’s effects turned off too. Can clearly see that there’s ‘stuff’ in there, but they’re saving the reveal for the big day(s.) Definitely getting Smiler vibes from it…

Might bump into you today, look out for a Nemesis Reborn hoodie and say hi if you spot us… What is this staggered opening all about? 🙈😂

Volt-Run… The Plan…. We’re heading down to Europa Park, to arrive Wednesday evening, but rather than just fly in and grab the new cred, I decided, in my wisdom, it was a good opportunity to visit some favourite parks for the first time in 2 years, as well as some I haven’t visited yet. So left...

I think it was said during consultation that it was put out to tender and other manufacturers were invited to submit their own designs / plans, including a B&M hyper. I must confess, I didn’t see or hear that myself during consultations, but I do seem to remember it being mentioned here.

Currently making our way to Europa, Via Plopsaland today, and 2 days at Phantasialand. Super excited for Voltron, my only niggling doubt was that turntable, but it seems that’ll be a ‘feature’ so should be good.

I have passes, and apart from a few years I took out of visiting parks altogether, always have had them in some form or another. I haven't always had the Merlin pass, sometimes opting for a singular park pass in the earlier days. Think I've had a merlin pass in it's current form for 7 or 8...

So this pretty much confirms what I said earlier in the thread. Reborn is faster into the first inversion, helix and second inversion, probably because of the faster lift hill. Then, slowing down somewhere around the stall and vertical loop considerable, leading it to enter the brakes later.

So they’ll be able to change colours too!!! Looks mint!

Shouldn’t have had to… Just announce a close date and run it normally until then. With this announcement they’re basically saying… “Oh yeh, it still runs, but we just aren’t going to run it again until x date, when you can pay a massive extra fee if you want to ride it.” I wouldn’t be against...

PR Team: "Amanda... The fans really want us to give them a chance to ride the classic rides one last time before we destroy them, they feel very strongly about it." Amanda: "Do they... Do they really... £££ Kerching £££"

To be fair, that is exactly what 'poached' means in this context... From the Oxford dictionary...

just 69 days to go until Glastonbury!!! (68 for me this year, since we've gone all posh and are taking a massive, luxury, motorhome... They encourage us to arrive on the Tuesday.)

The entrance area before Diagon Alley is London themed... You'd expect them to do the same in the UK. (I'm not buying any possibility of there not being a Harry Potter area btw... There simply has to be! They want to tap into London's tourists, a big percentage of London's tourists spend a...

Kinex version.... Pretty impressive to be fair, although I'm sure it's stalling and rather than fix it he's just splicing different shots together... Either way though, great job!!!
