But when others on the forum say "I have sources" or "sources have told me" and don't elaborate, we berate them? For the record, I'm not really fussed on the matter of the coaster. TBH I think we would all be a little surprised if it ever opened.

We assume so, I imagine that they're a bit tired too, given they're the same age as the rest of it. As for the paint scheme, up for something a bit different but will be sad if we lose the white track tbh. Definitely iconic!

Hmm, intriguing indeed! I'm a bit more interested in this now. I think if they pour a fair bit of cash into this, and use effects that are effective but reliable, it could be a winner. Hopefully we see a new soundtrack too, I imagine we will.

Not great, hasn't been a good year for this place has it. I'm assuming the wheel is operated by Slingshot Group now too since Merlin aren't anymore?

Indeed, I think this double spine looks rather nice actually. Really excited to see this thing get erected, I'd say this and Toutatis are my most anticipated coasters for the next few years.

Unless I'm mistaken, the cars on the Dynamic Attractions model don't have motion bases, I think they're static. Whereas Gringotts can just rotate each car like a dark ride, these Dynamic Attraction coasters have to use big turntables. The 'sideways drop' could be done on Gringotts by just...

I think you're putting words in their mouth a little. I think they were commenting on the fact that in countries such as Saudi Arabia, those who are not Islamic are treated differently, and that converting to Islam would mean they could more comfortably visit/move to this location to experience...

I imagine Falcon's Fury will be there for a while, don't think there's anything wrong with it, unless it's down a lot? Apocalypse was on it's last legs, had been for years. I'm not sure about the reliability of Mach Tower but I've heard it, along with the other Moser towers, isn't great in...

I love Baco to bits, but only on the front row. Towards the rear of the train it's unbearable, especially on the outer seats, I never knew a coaster could be this unpleasant. So yeah, only good at the front, so I guess overall the coaster is very much a failed product! At least this Jumanji...

I reckon rather than a blinking eye animatronic, perhaps the eye being animated from an internal projection might be more reliable, and allow the eye to digitally blink/look around as the coaster (now quietly) roars around the track. Tbf I'd love to see the station re-imagined and with fresh...

Do we know what it actually is/does? Don't think I've seen 'zig zag' pop up before.

Something like Cheetah Hunt is worse, though? Only a left hand turn between two launches.

Those trains look absolutely stunning, might be one of my favourites ever. The theming so far looks great already and the station doesn't even have turf over it yet. Really excited for this.

How fast would the rotation be? Just curious as to how something like this would work, in terms of redundancy measures. Would it have magnetic brakes on part of the rotating element to ensure it doesn't slam into the track below if something were to go wrong? Or would the points of rotation have...

People who behave like that on twitter are insufferable ngl. I think I'll just wait for an announcement if there ever is one.

Yikes, not a great look, is it. To echo what has been mentioned already, great to be interacting with fans, but it makes her look a little foolish when she makes public posts like this online. I can get her viewpoint but this just comes across as stroppy and disorganised to me.

Yeah I reckon you're right and that we'll see some of the old characters/motifs pop up again eg. the floating violin etc.

^ I was hesitant at first too, but I think paired with the soundtrack, it'll feel like the ride system is 'dancing' with the surroundings, and I think that could be something really special. The piece of music sort of lends itself to something like this, at least in my opinion.

New paint is all good but will still look a mess on the water feature and landscaping they ruined with concrete. It's a shame, if they replaced the trains (even if it means losing a car on each), painted the coaster/area up, landscaped and peppered some theming in, it would actually look decent...

I guess if they really want to keep to the Walliams brand, ride attendants could shout various slurs to families and children exiting each attraction? Probably cheaper than ditching the entire theme, plus it would add a bit of spice to the area I reckon.
