…especially when the Power Splashes already fit that exact description…

I guess this implies that either the Universal purchase was just a rumour, it did exist but has collapsed completely, or it still exists but has stalled and this is a tactic to push them along.

Looks amazing - you can almost feel the airtime. I just can’t fathom why they chose the support colour though - it’s so drab.

I’ve completely missed this - what’s the significance of RMC capitalising Os in words, if any?

A really enjoyable set of reports to read! Looking forward to the Phantasia part - hopefully going in a few weeks after a 5-year absence so will be good to hear how it’s changed. And I completely agree on Walibi Belgium expectation vs reality! I assumed it wouldn’t be that nice, a bit concretey...

Great to know also - thanks! Do you know if public transport matches the opening hours? Be a shame to cut out night rides if the bus doesn’t go til ~midnight or so.

This would make such a difference to the ride experience, surely more than track replacement would.

It looks fantastic. With the Skyfly within the helix, they’ve pulled off something I could have only dreamed about doing in rollercoaster tycoon, it’s perfectly done. Also great to see the amount of greenery throughout the area, and the immersive touches that all make a difference, eg the...

What a pleasingly ridiculous way to start a coaster.

I know we’re all on this forum because we care more about coasters and parks far more than the average person, but I just can’t imagine the general public care even the slightest bit about the 90s original story. To be honest I haven’t heard of any of the back story other than snippets I’ve read...

Would Gravity Group not have some liability here? Or because Fun Spot organised the contractors (is this normal?) then GG have no consequence (and are probably upset at the impact to their reputation)?
