    Walt Disney Studios Park further developments

    I like it. I also don't. Makes more sense than studios. I like the idea of multiple adventures, multiple worlds. Fits with the current IP range. But the designs for the new Studio 1 building are a bit lacking. Everything to the right needs an overhaul (Crush's Coaster, Flying Carpets, Cars Rally...

    Universal considering UK theme park in Bedford

    The issue with some of these is where the IP belongs. I think Warner Bros for Harry Potter is a given. Dr Who - unlikely as Disney have gotten involved with its production. Bond is MGM / Amazon - maybe Paddington is Lionsgate - maybe Kingsman - Disney Monopoly - Mattel brands are tricky as...

    WTF Merlin?

    I really don't like the logo. Primarily because it is just two standard fonts in Canva. It's basic and lazy. The new logo really has not gone down well on socials.

    Valhalla at Blackpool Pleasure Beach to be refurbished for 2023

    How would you plan for that though? You would need it running in case someone pays the upcharge with no guarantee anyone will pay. You are sort of in the same boat with that one.

    Flamingo Land | Sik | Intamin 10 Inversion Coaster | 2022

    It really is getting worse... at this point I am becoming a little embarrassed that I actually like the park as much as I do (and that was a little embarrassing to start with 😅)

    TBF, It would never have been called sandal ...... it's in the wrong area of the park 😂

    Disney's theme parks and more: what is their future?

    I don't think Chapek has really made a dent in the parks positively. The good aspects were all in play before he took helm. Where is responsibilities lie is with changes to the parks in terms of fan favourites with now a distinct feeling of the resorts being too expensive with optional add-ons...

    But where else will all of the budget go . . .

    Kent, England | The London Resort | Entertainment Complex

    I thought that the BBC and ITV signed up to the project after the species of spider was already found... it now just sounds like a good excuse instead of saying 'this was going nowhere'

    WTF Merlin?

    You are exactly right - and this was my thoughts exactly. As theme park enthusiasts, we see it a bit differently to Joe public or the business perspective. In my local area - a retail park had a small Aldi. They then built a larger premises as part of its expansion for Lidl. Aldi then 3 months...

    Accident on Splash Canyon

    Teacher here - in my experience, the pupils are told to stay in groups and are left to go around the parks / resorts themselves. There are specific meeting points around the parks that they 'check-in' with. Some groups of children generally have an teaching assistant with them for most of it...

    Flamingo Land | Sik | Intamin 10 Inversion Coaster | 2022

    It has gone from the map completely. What some are forgetting is that throughout the lockdowns, FL has had to continue zoo operations. It is well documented that zoos have struggled in the UK due to continued outgoings with no income. We also know that FL had to take out a CIBLS loan from...
