It was approved, they resubmitted up to date plans in August and they were approved in October.

I will say as a non-season pass holder, I went at the weekend and had a great time.

No doubt the next coaster at BPB will be rose gold with faux diamonds embedded into it. Excited for Exodus, wish it was about twice as long but will be cool having a big new coaster here.

Sorry for bumping an old post, but I'm trawling old Big One threads. My take on this was my assumption they used some low quality speed radar gun back in the 90s, got the unrealistic speed and ran with it.

It is a shame, I know last time I rode Velocity it feels and sounds like it's a tea trolley rolling down the stairs as well. Park needs some love and care.

I know there was a lot of interesting bodging done to this coaster, I've seen pics and videos of track rails being cut open and patched so it wouldn't surprise me if there's a lot of stuff to sort out on it.

Definitely not one and done, but I definitely like to soak in a parks atmosphere and look at how it all works off-ride a lot more now rather than get as many rides in as possible.

As a child i'd care about coaster counts but as an adult I couldn't care less. Honestly makes me cringe seeing 40 year olds riding kiddie coasters purely for an arbitrary number. I'm also not as bothered about reriding as much as possible.

It is a ride that does give wierd vibes for sure. Not sure I fully trust how it's been looked after during its entire life.

Seen on a recent video, Sik looking pretty manky and neglected at least in terms of cleanliness. Gross.

Interesting they have the "front car only" setup like that Canadian mall had. I guess that's to ensure each car has its own set of wheel bogies instead of middle cars sharing them. I assume that's to try prevent the same kind of accident happening that happens to these Schwartzkopfs

If that is the case it's a shame the first UK RMC wont be the crazy intense coasters RMC are known for.

It's funny how people can have such opposite opinions with these things. I rode ice breaker last month and found it so disappointing. The claustrophobic uncomfortable trains just ruined my experience of that coaster. I hated it entirely. Whereas cliffhanger always impressed me with its combo...

I will say that figures you can see publicly probably don't tell the full story. Lots of clever accounting goes on with businesses, especially where lots of money is involved. A loss could easily very much not be a loss depending on what they've been doing I know if you look on companies...

If you don't actively try jump about you should be fine. If you just ride it normally it shouldn't be an issue.

I really can't understand how you rate Mako so highly but hey ho. I find that ride just "Okay"

I rode Pipeline for the first time a couple days ago too on my holiday to Florida. I really enjoyed the ride, it is a really interesting concept. My partner didn't really enjoy it though and I can agree with her perspective. The vest restraints are so so tight, they are constantly pushing on...

Its my favourite UK park but I do feel like management is severely lacking. Year after year there's glaring issues and lack of attention to detail with things. Like do none of the management actually walk around the park and see how its run? Do they never do experiments to see what a guests...

I thought the Duel refurb is pretty great tbh. As always with Merlin, not done 100% properly but what they HAVE done is great. There's a random section of complete darkness for no benefit or reason, and the story is a bit confusing.

I'd say they replace track due to metal fatigue/cracking more than anything. I assume they retracked that section to make the ride last a bit longer, rather than for any "smoothness" benefit really
