    WTF Merlin?

    Not Merlin's fault but apparently the M25 is also closed this weekend. Not a great day to go unless you're local!

    WTF BPB?

    Having been to opening day... i think this thread needs bumping to the top. Shockingly bad. So many rides closed, breaking, being evac'd. Awful! Awful! Awful!

    Drayton Manor | Unknown | Intamin Unknown | 2024

    I dared to say this on another forum. There seems to be an almost over-excitment for this coaster. I hope it is great, but worry it is just sooo gimmicky with lots of switch tracks and clever bits that it never actually gets going. Little bit of speed, few twists and then it stops to change...

    WTF Merlin?

    I'm genuinely surprised this hasn't been picked up by news outlets yet. Second only to Disney 😀

    Legoland Windsor Future Developments

    Paultons also recently submitted a similar planning application for solar carpark canopies. Really good that Parks are starting to.think that way!

    Surveying occurring at Paultons Park - potential new attraction?

    It's a mini log flume... what are you expecting? I will happily however bet my house on it being better themed than Draytons one. Simply because it is Paultons and they do things well.

    Surveying occurring at Paultons Park - potential new attraction?

    Now this is interesting! Considering this thread started with surveying in the area and now this information... I look forward to hearing what's in store! Also, looks like the cinema is gone. Hopefully the space will be used for an indoor ride; but more likely back of house. I believe that...

    Dreamland Margate’s Future

    "The Vintage Caterpillar was also removed not long before the Air Race, however this was due to unsatisfactory work being done by Littleboys Vintage Restorations when they “restored” the ride and meant that it wasn’t viable to operate. It’s currently in storage along with the Brooklands Speedway...

    Is it confirmed how tall this is going to be? How much taller will it be than the current record holder?

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    Might be big spenders, but if they are paying half the general ticket price isn't exactly quids in for the Park

    CWOA | Mandrill Mayhem (World of Jumanji) | B&M Wing Coaster | 2023

    Still, it has taken 5 years to go from 'masterplan' consultation to 'smaller project' consultation. My expectations are even lower now.

    CWOA | Mandrill Mayhem (World of Jumanji) | B&M Wing Coaster | 2023

    This is exactly the same 'consultation' and artwork from circa 2017? Nothing came of it then, I doubt anything will come of it now. I hope something good happens, but I doubt it.

    Paultons Park | Tornado Springs | New Area | 2021

    Yeh, I'd much rather see a glossy Merlin advert for a sh*t 'world's first' re-themed porta cabin.
