With this coaster replacing Ice Mountain hopefully it'll make the trip down to Hyde Park Winter Wonderland like its former did. Would make getting the cred a lot easier for us in the south!
I don't think the Merlin annual pass has helped the smaller parks in the UK. Why pay for entry to multiple independent parks and attractions when some of the best ones in the country can be accessed for a monthly payment.
The UK is also a very small country, it doesn't take long to get to any...
There's been rumours for a while that some of their larger rides would removed before the 2021 season. With the removal of G force, Pandemonium and Apocalypse I wonder if we'll hear something about Shockwave soon. Without the other thrill attractions to support it the coaster feels very...
Looking at some screenshots of your park I'd suggest reducing the amount of trees and rocks you're using. These pieces can quickly add up causing a large FPS decrease. Also if you've let people into your park I'd recommend limiting guest numbers to around 2k.

Silver Star is better than Expedition GeForce.
Being 6ft 4 I found the Expedition GeForce restraints ridiculously uncomfortable. B&M trains are so much nicer for someone of my size.
Like most things it's down to your personal opinion, its only embarrassing if you find it embarrassing. More often than not the people who operate these smaller coasters are understanding of enthusiasts and their love of a Wacky Worm. I've ridden 116 coaster in the UK (most of which could be...
Alongside the mentioned parks like Towers, Pleasure Beach and Thorpe I'd highly recommend a trip down to Paultons. Its the best UK family park by far and Tornado Springs is looking fantastic. Plus if you've got time in the afternoon you could always head over to Portsmouth for a few Pier creds...
I've spent the day at Thorpe but unfortunately I was left feeling disappointed by the experience. In some areas they've done very well, there are plenty of hand sanitisers around the park and clear signage explaining the procedures they've put in place. The retail areas were also well looked...
We got a ride on it today. Large trains, comfortable restraints and bold, colourful theming. Makes it the perfect coaster for young kids. Only downside is how quickly picks up a long queue.
Work walls have gone up and construction is underway. From Mia's Riding Adventure you can see they're alredy preparing the land and laying new pipes. Looking forward to watching this project come together!
The Alton Towers website says that Coke Frestyle will be coming to the park for the 2020 season. I was hoping this would happen after the success they had at Thorpe Park. Maybe we'll also see it at Chessington soon.
With their latest post it feels like Thorpe are hinting towards changes with or around Stealth. I hope this isn't the case as it would feel like a massive waste of money considering all the other issues within the park.
