    New development on the Slammer site at Thorpe Park?

    I'm pretty sure S&S don't make Sky Swats anymore as this likely factored into why it was closed, been SBNO for years and soon to be removed. Potentially yes, although possibly could be distinct enough to have both. Something like Tundra Twister at Canada's Wonderland could be awesome though...

    New development on the Slammer site at Thorpe Park?

    I can imagine Skybound being something for the Slammer spot. I think there's quite a few attractions that can fit the site however I'd love to see a Giant Gyro Swing from either Intamin or Zamperla there. It would certainly fit into the name, theme of Hyperia and finding one's fearless. 🪽

    Merlin Entertainment to Develop Unscripted TV shows

    I'd be excited to see a drama series on Netflix about Nemesis and the Phalanx 😅 That could raise the profile of Nemesis - you never know, we may see Nemesis Vengeance as a rollercoaster in America at some point 😉

    YAY Merlin!

    I would say that is the one thing I believe we take for granted in the UK is that there will be bag storage in ride stations on the coasters. (Only ride that doesn't (unless it's been added recently) but should have one that I know of is Valhalla at Blackpool) I haven't been to the US parks yet...

    What uk theme park looks most promising and why

    1. Thorpe Park following their rebrand - I feel that it is now on the up with Hyperia and the park need to keep up the momentum with continuing investment. I can imagine a New for 2025 Flat Ride on the Slammer site followed by further investments in the long term (i.e. Amity Beach site, Area...

    Your Least Common Opinion?

    My unpopular/least common opinion is that The Flume at Alton Towers should've been replaced with something similar (either another Flume or a Water Coaster) over what we had with Wickerman. I do admit, Wickerman is a fantastic rollercoaster however this would've worked in a different part of...

    If you live in the UK, do you currently have a Merlin Annual Pass? Have you ever had one?

    Yes it's still very much a thing, I had no clue about it until it was bought up in another group. 😅 a perfect solution is a single rider queue 😂 Definitely up for more shuttle buses and single rider queues 😂

    If you live in the UK, do you currently have a Merlin Annual Pass? Have you ever had one?

    I am currently a Thorpe Park Gold Passholder that I've got last year. I definitely shall say I've had quite a bit of use and value out of it over the time I've had it. When the time comes to renew, I am considering going over to a Merlin Annual Pass (either equivalent or Platinum). I got the...

    Surveying occurring at Paultons Park - potential new attraction?

    Splash Lagoon looks really good 😊 it really complements Raging River like how River Rafts does with Tiger Rock. I can certainly see Raging River getting an upgrade in the coming years (like Viking Voyage at Emerald Park). I look forward to seeing more in the future including the long awaited...

    T3 is done for at Kentucky Kingdom

    I'd be quite surprised to see this in the UK. I can't think of any places that might look at this? Oakwood or Pleasurewood Hills? Or one of the more obscure theme parks? I think we'd be seeing a planning application if that was true.

    Rides you rode in the opening season?

    For me, the coasters I've ridden in it's opening season are Mandrill Mayhem at Chessington Farmyard Flyer at Paultons Park Icon at Blackpool Pleasure Beach I'll be adding Hyperia and Voltron Nevera to this count this year 😊
